Cursive v0.9.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-07-26 // almost 6 years ago

  • 🚀 This releases is quite large and includes some breaking changes:

    • 0️⃣ Cursive::new() has been renamed Cursive::default(). Cursive::new is now used to select a backend, allowing third-party backends.
    • Scrolling is now handled by a new view wrapper, ScrollView. For TextView, SelectView and ListView, it is opt-in, by wrapping it in a ScrollView or calling .scrollable() from the Scrollable trait.
    • Cursive::cb_sink() now returns a crossbeam_channel::Sender instead of chan::Sender. The API is mostly similar.
    • SelectView::selection now returns a Option<Rc<T>> instead of panicking on an empty list.
    • 🔀 The features of AnyView have been merged into the regular View, so you should not need to use AnyView directly, and can only use View.
    • Vec4 has been renamed to Margins.

    In addition, many non-breaking changes are present as well:

    • Callbacks sent through Cursive::cb_sink() are now processed instantly, without the need for set_fps.
    • Backends are now a dynamic choice rather than a comile-time selection.
      • This means library do not need to bother with backend features anymore
      • Features are still there to add available backends, but they are mutually compatible.
    • 🐎 Events are batch-processed, resulting in higher performance when a lot of events are sent at once (for instance when scrolling with the mouse).
    • Some methods now return a callback:
      • SelectView::{set_selection, select_up, select_down, remove_item}
      • EditView::{set_content, insert, remove}
    • API additions:
      • StackView::find_layer_from_id
      • SelectView::insert_item
      • TextArea::{enable, disable}
      • rect::Rect
    • 🛠 Various bugfixes
