  • e5a7609 (line) Impl From<Cow> for Line by @joshka in #1373 [breaking]

    BREAKING-CHANGES:Line now implements From<Cow<str>

    As this adds an extra conversion, ambiguous inferred values may no longer
    compile.

    // given:
    struct Foo { ... }
    impl From<Foo> for String { ... }
    impl From<Foo> for Cow<str> { ... }
    
    let foo = Foo { ... };
    let line = Line::from(foo); // now fails due to ambiguous type inference
    // replace with
    let line = Line::from(String::from(foo));

    Fixes:#1367


  • 2805ddd (logo) Add a Ratatui logo widget by @joshka in #1307

    This is a simple logo widget that can be used to render the Ratatui logo
    in the terminal. It is used in the examples/ratatui-logo.rs example,
    and may be used in your applications' help or about screens.

    use ratatui::{Frame, widgets::RatatuiLogo};
    
    fn draw(frame: &mut Frame) {
        frame.render_widget(RatatuiLogo::tiny(), frame.area());
    }
  • d72968d (scrolling-regions) Use terminal scrolling regions to stop Terminal::insert_before from flickering by @nfachan in #1341 [breaking]

    The current implementation of Terminal::insert_before causes the
    viewport to flicker. This is described in #584 .

    This PR removes that flickering by using terminal scrolling regions
    (sometimes called "scroll regions"). A terminal can have its scrolling
    region set to something other than the whole screen. When a scroll ANSI
    sequence is sent to the terminal and it has a non-default scrolling
    region, the terminal will scroll just inside of that region.

    We use scrolling regions to implement insert_before. We create a region
    on the screen above the viewport, scroll that up to make room for the
    newly inserted lines, and then draw the new lines. We may need to repeat
    this process depending on how much space there is and how many lines we
    need to draw.

    When the viewport takes up the entire screen, we take a modified
    approach. We create a scrolling region of just the top line (could be
    more) of the viewport, then use that to draw the lines we want to
    output. When we're done, we scroll it up by one line, into the
    scrollback history, and then redraw the top line from the viewport.

    A final edge case is when the viewport hasn't yet reached the bottom of
    the screen. This case, we set up a different scrolling region, where the
    top is the top of the viewport, and the bottom is the viewport's bottom
    plus the number of lines we want to scroll by. We then scroll this
    region down to open up space above the viewport for drawing the inserted
    lines.

    Regardless of what we do, we need to reset the scrolling region. This PR
    takes the approach of always resetting the scrolling region after every
    operation. So the Backend gets new scroll_region_up and
    scroll_region_down methods instead of set_scrolling_region, scroll_up,
    scroll_down, and reset_scrolling_region methods. We chose that approach
    for two reasons. First, we don't want Ratatui to have to remember that
    state and then reset the scrolling region when tearing down. Second, the
    pre-Windows-10 console code doesn't support scrolling region

    This PR:

    • Adds a new scrolling-regions feature.
    • Adds two new Backend methods: scroll_region_up and scroll_region_down.
    • Implements those Backend methods on all backends in the codebase.
    • The crossterm and termion implementations use raw ANSI escape
      sequences. I'm trying to merge changes into those two projects
      separately to support these functions.
    • Adds code to Terminal::insert_before to choose between
      insert_before_scrolling_regions and insert_before_no_scrolling_regions.
      The latter is the old implementation.
    • Adds lots of tests to the TestBackend to for the
      scrolling-region-related Backend methods.
    • Adds versions of terminal tests that show that insert_before doesn't
      clobber the viewport. This is a change in behavior from before.
  • dc8d058 (table) Add support for selecting column and cell by @airblast-dev in #1331 [breaking]

    Fixes #1250

    Adds support for selecting a column and cell in TableState. The
    selected column, and cells style can be set by
    Table::column_highlight_style and Table::cell_highlight_style
    respectively.

    The table example has also been updated to display the new
    functionality:

    table_col_cel_selection.mp4

    BREAKING CHANGE:The Serialized output of the state will now include the
    "selected_column" field. Software that manually parse the serialized the
    output (with anything other than the Serialize implementation on
    TableState) may have to be refactored if the "selected_column" field
    is not accounted for. This does not affect users who rely on the
    Deserialize, or Serialize implementation on the state.

    BREAKING CHANGE:The Table::highlight_style is now deprecated in favor
    of Table::row_highlight_style.


  • ab6b1fe (tabs) Allow tabs to be deselected by @joshka in #1413 [breaking]

    Tabs::select() now accepts Into<Option<usize>> instead of usize.
    This allows tabs to be deselected by passing None.

    Tabs::default() is now also implemented manually instead of deriving
    Default, and a new method Tabs::titles() is added to set the titles
    of the tabs.

    Fixes:#1412

    BREAKING CHANGE:Tabs::select() now accepts Into<Option<usize>>
    which breaks any code already using parameter type inference:

    let selected = 1u8;
    - let tabs = Tabs::new(["A", "B"]).select(selected.into())
    + let tabs = Tabs::new(["A", "B"]).select(selected as usize)
  • 23c0d52 (text) Improve concise debug view for Span,Line,Text,Style by @joshka in #1410

    Improves #1383

    The following now round trips when formatted for debug.
    This will make it easier to use insta when testing text related views of
    widgets.

    Text::from_iter([
        Line::from("Hello, world!"),
        Line::from("How are you?").bold().left_aligned(),
        Line::from_iter([
            Span::from("I'm "),
            Span::from("doing ").italic(),
            Span::from("great!").bold(),
        ]),
    ]).on_blue().italic().centered()
  • 60cc15b (uncategorized) Add support for empty bar style to Sparkline by @fujiapple852 in #1326 [breaking]

    • distinguish between empty bars and bars with a value of 0
    • provide custom styling for empty bars
    • provide custom styling for individual bars
    • inverts the rendering algorithm to be item first

    Closes:#1325

    BREAKING CHANGE:Sparkline::data takes IntoIterator<Item = SparklineBar>
    instead of &[u64] and is no longer const

  • 453a308 (uncategorized) Add overlap to layout by @kdheepak in #1398 [breaking]

    This PR adds a new feature for the existing Layout::spacing method,
    and introducing a Spacing enum.

    Now Layout::spacing is generic and can take

    • zero or positive numbers, e.g. Layout::spacing(1) (current
      functionality)
    • negative number, e.g. Layout::spacing(-1) (new)
    • variant of the Spacing (new)

    This allows creating layouts with a shared pixel for segments. When
    spacing(negative_value) is used, spacing is ignored and all segments
    will be adjacent and have pixels overlapping.
    spacing(zero_or_positive_value) behaves the same as before. These are
    internally converted to Spacing::Overlap or Spacing::Space.

    Here's an example output to illustrate the layout solve from this PR:

    #[test]
    fn test_layout() {
        use crate::layout::Constraint::*;
        let mut terminal = crate::Terminal::new(crate::backend::TestBackend::new(50, 4)).unwrap();
        terminal
            .draw(|frame| {
                let [upper, lower] = Layout::vertical([Fill(1), Fill(1)]).areas(frame.area());
    
                let (segments, spacers) = Layout::horizontal([Length(10), Length(10), Length(10)])
                    .flex(Flex::Center)
                    .split_with_spacers(upper);
    
                for segment in segments.iter() {
                    frame.render_widget(
                        crate::widgets::Block::bordered()
                            .border_set(crate::symbols::border::DOUBLE),
                        *segment,
                    );
                }
                for spacer in spacers.iter() {
                    frame.render_widget(crate::widgets::Block::bordered(), *spacer);
                }

                    .flex(Flex::Center)
                    .spacing(-1) // new feature
                    .split_with_spacers(lower);

    Currently drawing a border on top of an existing border overwrites it.
    Future PRs will allow for making the border drawing handle overlaps
    better.


  • 7bdccce (uncategorized) Add an impl of DoubleEndedIterator for Columns and Rows by @fujiapple852 [breaking]

    BREAKING-CHANGE:The pub modifier has been removed from fields on the

    layout::rect::Columns and layout::rect::Rows iterators. These fields
    were not intended to be public and should not have been accessed
    directly.

    Fixes:#1357

Bug Fixes

  • 4f5503d (color) Hsl and hsluv are now clamped before conversion by @joshka in #1436 [breaking]

    The from_hsl and from_hsluv functions now clamp the HSL and HSLuv
    values before converting them to RGB. This ensures that the input values
    are within the expected range before conversion.

    Also note that the ranges of Saturation and Lightness values have been
    aligned to be consistent with the palette crate. Saturation and Lightness
    for from_hsl are now in the range [0.0..1.0] while from_hsluv are
    in the range [0.0..100.0].

    Refs:- Ogeon/palette#253

    Fixes:#1433

  • b7e4885 (color) Fix doc test for from_hsl by @joshka in #1421

  • 3df685e (rect) Rect::area now returns u32 and Rect::new() no longer clamps area to u16::MAX by @joshka in #1378 [breaking]

    This change fixes the unexpected behavior of the Rect::new() function to
    be more intuitive. The Rect::new() function now clamps the width and
    height of the rectangle to keep each bound within u16::MAX. The
    Rect::area() function now returns a u32 instead of a u16 to allow for
    larger areas to be calculated.

    Previously, the Rect::new() function would clamp the total area of the
    rectangle to u16::MAX, by preserving the aspect ratio of the rectangle.

    BREAKING CHANGE:Rect::area() now returns a u32 instead of a u16.

    Fixes:#1375

  • 514d273 (terminal) Use the latest, resized area when clearing by @roberth in #1427

  • 0f48239 (terminal) Resize() now resizes fixed viewports by @Patryk27 in #1353

    Terminal::resize() on a fixed viewport used to do nothing due to
    an accidentally shadowed variable. This now works as intended.

  • a52ee82 (text) Truncate based on alignment by @Lunderberg in #1432

    This is a follow-up PR to #987,
    which implemented alignment-aware truncation for the Line widget.
    However, the truncation only checked the Line::alignment field, and
    any alignment inherited from a parent's Text::alignment field would
    not be used.

    This commit updates the truncation of Line to depend both on the
    individual Line::alignment, and on any alignment inherited from the
    parent's Text::alignment.

  • 611086e (uncategorized) Sparkline docs / doc tests by @joshka in #1437

  • b9653ba (uncategorized) Prevent calender render panic when terminal height is small by @adrodgers in #1380

    Fixes:#1379

  • da821b4 (uncategorized) Clippy lints from rust 1.81.0 by @fujiapple852 in #1356

  • 68886d1 (uncategorized) Add unstable-backend-writer feature by @Patryk27 in #1352

    #991 created a new unstable
    feature, but forgot to add it to Cargo.toml, making it impossible to use
    on newer versions of rustc - this commit fixes it.

  • 6db16d6 (color) Use palette types for Hsl/Hsluv conversions by @orhun in #1418 [breaking]

    BREAKING-CHANGE:Previously Color::from_hsl accepted components
    as individual f64 parameters. It now accepts a single palette::Hsl
    value
    and is gated behind a palette feature flag.

    - Color::from_hsl(360.0, 100.0, 100.0)
    + Color::from_hsl(Hsl::new(360.0, 100.0, 100.0))

    Fixes:#1414


  • edcdc8a (layout) Rename element to segment in layout by @kdheepak in #1397

    This PR renames element to segment in a couple of functions in the
    layout calculations for clarity. element can refer to segments or
    spacers and functions that take only segments should use segment
    as the variable names.

  • 1153a9e (uncategorized) Consistent result expected in layout tests by @farmeroy in #1406

    Fixes #1399
    I've looked through all the assert_eq and made sure that they follow
    the expected, result pattern. I wasn't sure if it was desired to
    actually pass result and expected as variables to the assert_eq
    statements, so I've left everything that seems to have followed the
    pattern as is.

Miscellaneous Tasks

  • 67c0ea2 (block) Deprecate block::Title by @joshka in #1372

    ratatui::widgets::block::Title is deprecated in favor of using Line
    to represent titles.
    This removes an unnecessary layer of wrapping (string -> Span -> Line ->
    Title).

    This struct will be removed in a future release of Ratatui (likely
    0.31).
    For more information see:

    #738

    To update your code:

    Block::new().title(Title::from("foo"));
    // becomes any of
    
    Block::new().title("foo");
    
    Block::new().title(Line::from("foo"));
    
    Block::new().title(Title::from("foo").position(Position::TOP));
    // becomes any of
    
    Block::new().title_top("foo");
    
    Block::new().title_top(Line::from("foo"));
    
    Block::new().title(Title::from("foo").position(Position::BOTTOM));
    // becomes any of
    
    Block::new().title_bottom("foo");
    
    Block::new().title_bottom(Line::from("foo"));
  • 6515097 (cargo) Check in Cargo.lock by @joshka in #1434

    When kept up to date, this makes it possible to build any git version
    with the same versions of crates that were used for any version, without
    it, you can only use the current versions. This makes bugs in semver
    compatible code difficult to detect.

    The Cargo.lock file is not used by downstream consumers of the crate, so
    it is safe to include it in the repository (and recommended by the Rust
    docs).

    See:- https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/faq.html#why-have-cargolock-in-version-control

  • c777beb (ci) Bump git-cliff-action to v4 by @orhun in #1350

  • 9fd1bee (uncategorized) Make Positions iterator fields private by @joshka in #1424 [breaking]

    BREAKING CHANGE:The Rect Positions iterator no longer has public
    fields. The rect and current_position fields have been made private

  • c32baa7 (uncategorized) Add benchmark for Table by @airblast-dev in #1408

  • 5ad623c (uncategorized) Remove usage of prelude by @joshka in #1390

    This helps make the doc examples more explicit about what is being used.
    It will also makes it a bit easier to do future refactoring of Ratatui,
    into several crates, as the ambiguity of where types are coming from
    will be reduced.

    Additionally, several doc examples have been simplified to use Stylize,
    and necessary imports are no longer hidden.

    This doesn't remove the prelude. Only the internal usages.

  • f4880b4 (deps) Pin unicode-width to 0.2.0 by @orhun in #1403 [breaking]
