\\n\\nShortcuts:\\n\\n- MacOS: Command + N\\n- Windows: Alt + N\\n- Linux: Control + N\\n\\n## Support to older MacOS versions (older or equal to Big Sur).\\n\\nNow it is available for versions below Ventura (Rome).\\n\\n## Choose between fork or spawn\\n\\nDecide which one to use in the configuration file by the usage of property \\"use-fork\\":\\n\\n```toml\\nuse-fork = false\\n```\\n\\nDefaults for POSIX-based systems:\\n\\n- MacOS: spawn processes\\n- Linux/BSD: fork processes\\n\\n## Inverse instructions\\n\\nBefore the v0.0.9, programs were not correctly rendered in the terminal due to the lack of inverse instruction in Rio.\\n\\nFor example, ranger uses inverse to show the active path.\\n\\nBefore:\\n\\n\\n\\nNow:\\n\\n\\n\\n## Introduced \\"rio\\" terminfo\\n\\nTerminfo (formerly Termcap) is a database of terminal capabilities and more. For every (well almost) model of terminal it tells application programs what the terminal is capable of doing.\\n\\nIt tells what escape sequences (or control characters) to send to the terminal in order to do things such as move the cursor to a new location, erase part of the screen, scroll the screen, change modes, change appearance (colors, brightness, blinking, underlining, reverse video etc.).\\n\\nAfter about 1980, many terminals supported over a hundred different commands (some of which take numeric parameters).\\n\\nRio terminal has now it\'s own terminfo:\\n\\n```sh\\n$ echo $TERM\\nrio\\n```\\n\\nMore info [here](/docs/install#terminfo).\\n\\n## Fixes for multi-byte rendering\\n\\nBefore the v0.0.9, multi-byte characters were not correctly rendered in the terminal.\\n\\nBefore: As reported in the issue [#127](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/127)\\n\\nNow:\\n\\n\\n\\n## Configuration file addition: shell\\n\\nNow you can set \\"shell.program\\" to the path of your favorite shell, e.g. \\"/bin/fish\\".\\n\\nEntries in \\"shell.args\\" are passed unmodified as arguments to the shell.\\n\\n```toml\\nshell = { program = \\"/bin/zsh\\", args = [\\"--login\\"] }\\n```\\n\\nDefaults:\\n\\n- MacOS: /bin/zsh --login\\n- Linux/BSD: user login shell\\n- Windows: powershell\\n\\n## Configuration file addition: working_dir\\n\\nDirectory the shell is started in. If this is unset the working\\ndirectory of the parent process will be used.\\n\\nThis configuration only has effect if use-fork is disabled\\n\\n```toml\\nworking_dir = \\"/Users/raphael/Documents/\\"\\n```\\n\\n## Configuration file removal: Advanced\\n\\nBreaking changes for configuration file regarding \\"Advanced\\". The configuration \\"Advanced\\" has moved to root level and \\"disable-render-when-unfocused\\" renamed to \\"disable-unfocused-render\\".\\n\\n```toml\\ntheme = \\"dracula\\"\\n\\n[advanced]\\ndisable-render-when-unfocused = true\\n```\\n\\n**now**\\n\\n```toml\\ntheme = \\"dracula\\"\\ndisable-unfocused-render = true\\n```\\n\\n## Changelog of v0.0.9\\n\\n- The configuration \\"Advanced\\" has moved to root level and \\"disable-render-when-unfocused\\" renamed to \\"disable-unfocused-render\\".\\n- Support to **spawn and fork processes**, spawn has became default. Spawn increases Rio compatibility in a broad range, like old MacOS versions (older or equal to Big Sur). However, If you want to use Rio terminal to fork processes instead of spawning processes, enable \\"use-fork\\" in the configuration file.\\n- Introduced \\"RIO_LOG_LEVEL\\" variable usage.\\n- Increased max tabs from 6 to 9.\\n- Fix Incorrect cursor position when using multi-byte characters (Ref: [#127](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/127))\\n- Fix bug [\\"black screen with nearly zero interactivity\\"](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/112) and new tab hanging.\\n- Fix cursor disappearing after resize.\\n- Introduction of \\"shell\\" and \\"working_dir\\" in configuration file.\\n- Multi window support [#97](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/97).\\n- Corrections on select and scroll experience (it was using wrongly font-bound for line calculation).\\n- Add selection color to the theme config (closed [#125](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/125)).\\n- Implemented Inverse (fix [#92](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/92)).\\n- Proper choose formats that matches Rio requirements (related [#122](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/122)).\\n- Corcovado: Filter windows crate dependency to only Windows targets (related: [#119](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/119)).\\n- Teletypewriter: Fixes for musl as target_env (related: [#119](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/119)).\\n- FreeBSD support, implementation by [yurivict](https://github.com/yurivict) ([Commit](https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/8582b8c59459a7dc5112a94a39de45f6cc124c3e), Ref: [#115](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/issues/115))"},{"id":"/2023/07/07/release-0.0.7","metadata":{"permalink":"/blog/2023/07/07/release-0.0.7","editUrl":"https://github.com/raphamorim/rio/tree/main/docs/blog/2023-07-07-release-0.0.7.mdx","source":"@site/blog/2023-07-07-release-0.0.7.mdx","title":"Rio 0.0.7","description":"Configuration reload, x11 and wayland stabilization, sugarloaf ported to WebAssembly, addition to NIX OS packages and other updates.","date":"2023-07-07T12:34:00.000Z","tags":[],"readingTime":2.86,"hasTruncateMarker":false,"authors":[],"frontMatter":{"layout":"post","title":"Rio 0.0.7","date":"2023-07-07 12:34","description":"Configuration reload, x11 and wayland stabilization, sugarloaf ported to WebAssembly, addition to NIX OS packages and other updates.","categories":"release macos linux webassembly"},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Rio 0.0.9","permalink":"/blog/2023/07/17/release-0.0.9"},"nextItem":{"title":"Rio 0.0.8","permalink":"/blog/2023/07/10/release-0.0.8"}},"content":"import { Tweet } from \'react-tweet\';\\n\\n## v0.0.7: Highlights\\n\\n- Support to custom fonts\\n- Configuration reload\\n- x11 and wayland stabilization\\n- Sugarloaf ported to WebAssembly\\n- Addition to NIX OS packages (kudos to [@otavio](https://github.com/otavio), PR: [NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237664](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237664))\\n- Styles properties have been moved to root level\\n\\n## Overview\\n\\nRio release 0.0.7 is finally here, there\'s a lot of updates to cover so let\'s get started.

Many fixes has been done in the v0.0.7 to bring the experience of Linux users close to what MacOS have right now.\\n\\nThe tweet below have a video demo that shows Rio running with X11:\\n\\nRio is now releasing with Goreleaser
Since v0.2.8 Rio terminal has been releasing with GoReleaser, which makes my life much simple. Before I was doing the process of release manually (specially Apple MacOS notarization).
-GoReleaser is a release automation tool. It currently supports Go, Rust, Zig, and TypeScript (with Bun and Deno). GoReleaser was created to solve a problem we all had at some point: releasing software is boring and error prone.
+Rio is now releasing with GoReleaser
Since v0.2.8, I've been using GoReleaser to release Rio, which makes my life so much easier.
+Before, I had a mix of local (and manual) work with an automated pipeline.
+In the automation side, I didn't have support to .rpm packages, and still had to update a couple of files with the new version.
+Frankly, it's the kind of work I don't want to do for every release.

Rio wouldn't be using GoReleaser if wasn't the awesome work from Vedant Mohan Goyal and Carlos Becker. Talking which, Vedant is writing a blog post migrating Rio pipeline to GoReleaser, seriously go follow him!

+Looking ahead to 0.1.0
Hey there folks!
The Rio Terminal is a side project based on my free time (low this year due to being a new parent), when I started to work on Rio my goal was to learn mostly and eventually, I ended up using Rio in my daily life. However, the terminal wasn't designed to fit people's usage more than myself and would be quite hard to scale the source code to fit some of the feature requests, considering I never expected Rio to be used besides myself.
As I open-sourced Rio, many people started to use and eventually requests came in, making me realize that parts of the terminal would have to evolve to comprehend such requests and would eventually mean a rewrite of core parts along with incremental changes in other parts.
I have been working on 0.1.0 release since last December and still have a lot to be done (Github backlog for 0.1.0). It is hard to give an estimation because there's no regular promised cadence and, I am not in a rush because it will require a lot of further testing and writing a lot of tests as well. Releases are likely to be made in small versions, is very likely that 0.1.0 will start with MacOS with Windows (I hope so at least).
