+  color mode.
+* The Vty configuration file got a new `colorMode` field whose value is
+  a string literal compatible with the `ColorMode` `Read` instance.
+
+6.0
+---
+
+This release marks the beginning of multi-platform support in Vty.
+Getting to this point involved removing Unix-specific functionality
+from Vty and moving it to a new package, `vty-unix`. Windows support
+is now provided via a `vty-windows` package. Another new package,
+`vty-crossplatform`, is provided as a convenience for applications that
+want to support both Unix and Windows platforms automatically at build
+time. See the migration guide below for details on how to upgrade.
+
+**Migration guide for 6.0**
+
+To upgrade to this version of Vty, most people will only need to take a
+few steps:
+
+1. Add a package dependency on `vty-unix`, `vty-windows,` or
+   `vty-crossplatform`, depending on the desired level of platform
+   support. For example, if an application only supports Unix systems,
+   it should depend on `vty-unix`. But if an application is intended to
+   work anywhere Vty works, then `vty-crossplatform` is the best choice.
+2. Import `mkVty` from the platform package in step (1). (`mkVty` was
+   removed from the `vty` package and is now the responsibility of each
+   platform package.) Imports are as follows:
+   * `vty-unix`: `Graphics.Vty.Platform.Unix`
+   * `vty-windows`: `Graphics.Vty.Platform.Windows`
+   * `vty-crossplatform`: `Graphics.Vty.CrossPlatform`
+3. Maintain any existing package dependency on `vty`; the core library
+   abstractions, types, and functions are still obtained from `vty`
+   itself. The platform packages do not re-export the core library's
+   modules.
+4. If desired, call `Graphics.Vty.Config.userConfig` to load the Vty
+   user configuration since this step is no longer automatic.
+5. Some configurations have been moved to `Graphics.Vty.Output`. For 
+   example, `mouseMode` is no longer a field in `VtyUserConfig`. 
+   Instead, use `setMode` to enable it.
+
+For applications using more of Vty's API than just the basic
+initialization and rendering API, the full change list is provided
+below. For people who want to write their own Vty platform package like
+`vty-unix`, see `PLATFORM-HOWTO.md`.
+
+**Detailed change list for 6.0**
+
+* Package changes:
+  * The following modules got added to the `vty` library:
+    * `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.Main`
+  * The following modules got moved to `vty-unix`:
+    * `Data.Terminfo.Eval`
+    * `Data.Terminfo.Parse`
+  * The following modules got moved to `vty-unix` into the
+    `Graphics.Vty.Platform.Unix` module namespace (previously
+    `Graphics.Vty`):
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Input.Classify`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Input.Classify.Parse`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Input.Classify.Types`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Input.Focus`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Input.Loop`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Input.Mouse`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Input.Paste`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Input.Terminfo`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Output.TerminfoBased`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Output.XTermColor`
+  * The following modules were removed entirely (with contents migrated
+    elsewhere as needed):
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Inline.Unsafe`
+    * `Graphics.Vty.Output.Interface` (migrated to
+      `Graphics.Vty.Output`)
+  * Removed library dependencies on the following packages:
+    * `ansi-terminal`
+    * `containers`
+    * `terminfo`
+    * `transformers`
+    * `unix`
+  * The following executables were moved to other packages:
+    * `vty-build-width-table` (moved to `vty-unix` as
+      `vty-unix-build-width-table`)
+    * `vty-mode-demo` (moved to `vty-crossplatform`)
+* API changes:
+  * `Graphics.Vty.mkVty` moved to the `vty-unix` package's
+    `Graphics.Vty.Platform.Unix` module.
+  * Added `Graphics.Vty.mkVtyFromPair` for platform packages to
+    construct `Vty` handles.
+  * The contents of the `Graphics.Vty.Output.Interface` module were
+    merged into `Graphics.Vty.Output`.
+  * The `vty-build-width-table` tool was removed from the `vty` package,
+    but its core functionality is now exposed as a library for
+    platform packages to use to provide platform-specific tools using
+    `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.Main` and a new tool by the same
+    name was added to the `vty-unix` package.
+  * `Graphics.Vty.Events`: the `InternalEvent` type's
+    `ResumeAfterSignal` constructor was renamed to
+    `ResumeAfterInterrupt` to be a bit more abstract and
+    platform-agnostic.
+  * Removed the following lenses for fields of the `Input` type:
+    * `eventChannel` (was for `_eventChannel` which was then renamed to
+      `eventChannel`)
+    * `configRef` (was for `_configRef` which was then renamed to
+      `configRef`)
+  * The `Output` record type got a new field, `setOutputWindowTitle`.
+  * The `Input` record type got a new field, `inputLogMsg :: String ->
+    IO ()`, for logging to the Vty log.
+  * `Graphics.Vty.Config` now exposes `VtyUserConfig` instead of
+    `Config`. Many of its fields were Unix-specific and were
+    consequently moved to the `UnixSettings` type in `vty-unix` and
+    given a `settings` prefix. This includes `outputFd`, `inputFd`,
+    `vmin`, `vtime`, and `termName`.
+  * The `VtyUserConfig` type's fields got a `config` field name prefix.
+  * `inputForConfig` was moved to `vty-unix` as `buildInput` but
+    generally should not be needed and is exposed only for testing.
+  * `outputForConfig` was moved to `vty-unix` as `buildOutput` but
+    generally should not be needed and is exposed only for testing.
+* Behavior changes:
+  * Since `vty` no longer implements `mkVty`, the Vty user configuration
+    is no longer implicitly loaded by Vty-based applications.
+    Instead, it is now up to the applications to call
+    `Graphics.Vty.Config.userConfig` to load any user-provided
+    configuration.
+  * Vty no longer implicitly attempts to load configured Unicode
+    width tables. It is now the responsibility of the platform packages
+    (such as `vty-unix`) and/or applications to load tables via
+    `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.IO` and install them via
+    `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.Install`.
+* Changes to demonstration programs:
+  * `EventEcho`, `ModeDemo`, and `Rogue` demo programs moved to the
+    `vty-crossplatform` package.
+* Changes to tests:
+  * Where appropriate, some test programs and test cases were moved to
+    `vty-unix` or `vty-crossplatform`.
+
+5.39
+----
+
+Package changes:
+* Now builds with `mtl-2.3.*`.
+
+Bug fixes:
+* Fixed a long-standing issue where unused input on stdin could cause a
+  memory error and a crash when Vty was being initialized. (#266)
+
+5.38
+----
+
+This release includes numerous API changes, although none of them should
+break your programs. If so, please open a ticket on the Vty issue
+tracker.
+
+Package changes:
+* Support mtl 2.3 (thanks Daniel Firth)
+* The test and example collections got completely overhauled to clean up
+  bit rot.
+  * Moved example programs into examples/ under a new vty-examples
+    package.
+  * Moved test suite programs out of vty.cabal and into tests/ under a
+    new vty-tests package.
+  * Cleaned up all build-depends lists in all three packages to remove
+    unused deps.
+  * Consolidated the test suite library modules into the vty-tests
+    library to avoid redundant compilation.
+  * Added build.sh to build everything in the development process to
+    help ensure that examples and tests don't get forgotten.
+  * Removeed lots of stale/unused modules in old test/ directory.
+* Got vty-examples building again and resolved various warnings and
+  issues.
+
+API changes:
+* All modules got explicit export lists. Prior to this release, many
+  modules exported everything they contained, making it difficult to
+  know what was really intended to be part of the public API. The new
+  export lists should contain everything that applications need; the
+  risk of breakage exists but should be minor. Please open a ticket if
+  you were using something that is no longer exported. It might be that
+  it was never supposed to be exported to begin with, or it might be
+  just something we need to export once again.
+* Moved the `attributeControl` function from `Graphics.Vty.Input.Loop`
+  to `Graphics.Vty.Input`.
+* Removed the `Graphics.Vty.Image.DisplayText` alias for `Text`.
+* Unified the `Image` cropping constructors (thanks Fraser Tweedale)
+
+5.37
+----
+
+* The Xterm backend is now used when `TERM` matches `rxvt` or `tmux`.
+* PictureToSpans now uses `error`, not `fail`, to avoid dependence on
+  soon-to-be-removed `MonadFail` instance for `ST` (#248)
+
+5.36
+----
+
+ * Raised `microlens` upper bound to allow building with 0.4.13.
+ * Replaced incomplete `Show` output for `Picture` with a derived
+   instance; derived `Show` for `Cursor` and `Background`, too.
+
+5.35.1
+------
+
+Bug fixes:
+ * Fixed a build issue with a test program.
+
+5.35
+----
+
+New features:
+ * Add support for 24-bit color (thanks @u-quark). This change
+   updates Vty to look at the `COLORTERM` environment variable that is
+   conventionally used to advertise support for truecolor escape
+   sequences. The change also updates the Vty demo to demonstrate
+   24-bit colors. This change also adds a new data type, `ColorMode`,
+   to represent the color mode in use, as well as an `Output` interface
+   field, `outputColorMode`, to track the active color mode and use it
+   to clamp emitted color escape sequences to the active color range.
+
+API changes:
+ * All types in `Graphics.Vty.Input.Events` now have strict constructor
+   fields.
+ * Internal events are now wrapped in a new `InternalEvent` type to
+   improve how signal handling is done. This change modifies the `Input`
+   type's event channel API to produce `InternalEvents`, not `Events`.
+   The new `InternalEvent` either wraps `Event` with the `InputEvent`
+   constructor (the previous behavior) or indicates that Vty resumed
+   after handling a signal using the `ResumeAfterSignal` constructor.
+   This change avoids the previous use of `EvResize` with lazy exception
+   arguments as a sentinel value for `ResumeAfterSignal`.
+
+Other enhancements:
+ * Bracketed paste parsing performance has been greatly improved thanks
+   to benchmarking and optimization work by @iphydf. As part of that
+   work, Vty now uses bytestrings rather than Strings internally when
+   parsing input to look for events.
+ * The `\b` value is now interpreted as `KBS` (thanks @vglfr)
+
+5.34
+----
+
+API changes:
+ * Added an `NFData` instance for `Event` (thanks Mario Lang)
+ * Removed `Monoid` and `Semigroup` instances for `Attr` and
+   `MaybeDefault`. This change removed the instances because they were
+   misbehaved; merging `Attr` and `MaybeDefault` values with these
+   instances resulted in field value losses. For example, before this
+   change,
+```
+(defAttr `withForeColor` blue) <> (defAttr `withBackColor` green)
+```
+   would result in just
+```
+   (defAttr `withBackColor` green)
+```
+   because the instances were designed to favor the right-hand
+   arguments' fields even if they had not been explicitly set
+   (a consequence of the `MaybeDefault` `Semigroup` instance).
+   While that behavior was sensible specifically in the context of
+   `Graphics.Vty.Inline`, it wasn't a useful user-facing API and it made
+   for surprising instance behavior. Since there is actually no good way
+   to handle this in a `Semigroup` instance for `Attr` -- some choices
+   have to be made about how to merge two attributes' foreground colors,
+   and that won't be much better than what we had -- the instance was
+   just removed.
+
+
+5.33
+----
+
+API changes:
+* The `Cursor` type got a new `PositionOnly` constructor for cursor
+  placement without visibility.
+
+Package changes:
+* Relaxed upper bound for `random`
+* Updated `microlens` bounds to allow 0.4.12
+
+Other improvements:
+* Various hlint-driven improvements (thanks Willem Van Onsem)
+* The implementation of `color240` was improved (thanks (Willem Van
+  Onsem)
+
+5.32
+----
+
+New features:
+ * Meta-PageUp and Meta-PageDown are now supported (#193)
+ * Added `supportsItalics` and `supportsStrikethrough` functions to
+   check for feature support in terminfo
+
+Bug fixes:
+ * Detect utf-8 mode in `LANG` regardless of case (thanks Emeka
+   Nkurumeh)
+
+5.31
+----
+
+New features and API changes:
+ * Added support for strikethrough mode. This change adds a new
+   `strikethrough` `Style` value and uses the `smxx` and `rmxx`
+   Terminfo capabilities to activate and deactivate strikethrough mode,
+   respectively. If the terminfo does not report those capabilities,
+   this style is ignored.
+ * `Output`: added the `setDisplayBounds` field to set the output
+   dimensions of the output handle; added an implementation of this for
+   the `TerminfoBased` backend.
+
+Other changes:
+ * The C prototype for `vty_c_get_window_size` in `gwinsz.h` was fixed.
+
+5.30
+----
+
+New features:
+ * Added `Graphics.Vty.setWindowTitle` to emit an escape
+   sequence to set the window title, provide the terminal emulator
+   accepts Xterm-style title sequences. For details, see:
+   https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-3.html
+
+5.29
+----
+
+API changes:
+ * The Input type got a new field, 'restoreInputState'. This field
+   allows the end user to have direct access to the logic needed to
+   restore the terminal's input state flags. Prior to having this field,
+   this state restoration logic could only be invoked as part of calling
+   'shutdownInput', but since that function does other things (like
+   killing threads) it is not advisable to call it repeatedly (which is
+   necessary in the use case this change is intended to support). This
+   can be called directly to restore the input state flags as needed,
+   although this is not required if 'shutdown' (or 'shutdownInput') is
+   called.
+
+Other changes:
+ * attributeControl: explicitly enable the ICRNL terminal mode flag (see
+   #187 and c572ad).
+
+5.28.2
+------
+
+Bug fixes:
+ * Added a package dependency on `semigroups` for the
+   `vty-build-width-table` tool on older GHCs (#185)
+
+5.28.1
+------
+
+Bug fixes:
+ * `installUnicodeWidthTable`: use `throwIO`, not `throw`
+
+5.28
+----
+
+This release improves Vty's support for multi-column Unicode characters
+and provides greater compatibility with a wider array of terminal
+emulators. The following sections summarize the relevant changes, but an
+overview of the new functionality is motivated and detailed in the new
+"Multi-Column Character Support" README section. For
+historical context, please also consider reading over
+[#175](https://github.com/jtdaugherty/vty/issues/175).
+
+API changes:
+ * New modules were added:
+   * `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.Types`
+   * `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.IO`
+   * `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.Query`
+   * `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.Install`
+ * The `Config` type got a new field, `allowCustomUnicodeWidthTables`,
+   that controls whether `mkVty` will attempt to load a Unicode width
+   table if specified in the configuration.
+
+Configuration file changes:
+ * A new syntax was added to support specifying Unicode width tables on
+   a per-`TERM` basis. The syntax is `widthMap <TERM> <PATH>`. See the
+   documentation for `Graphics.Vty.Config` for details. Since prior
+   versions of this library will silently ignore any configuration file
+   lines they cannot parse, this change to user configuration files is
+   at least non-breaking for older versions of Vty.
+
+Other changes:
+ * The `mkVty` function now automatically attempts to load a custom
+   Unicode width table if one is specified in the configuration,
+   provided `allowCustomUnicodeWidthTables` is not set to `Just False`.
+   See the documentation for `Graphics.Vty.mkVty` for details.
+ * Vty now includes a command line tool, `vty-build-width-table`, that
+   queries the terminal emulator to construct a custom Unicode width
+   table and optionally update the Vty configuration file to use it.
+   Programs that want to use that tool's functionality may also do so
+   via the API exposed in the various modules listed above.
+
+5.27
+----
+
+* Added `Graphics.Vty.Config.getTtyEraseChar` to support querying the
+  kernel for the current terminal's settings to obtain the character
+  assigned by the `stty erase` command. That can then be added to the
+  Vty configuration's input map to map to `KBS` (backspace) if desired.
+
+5.26
+----
+
+* Resolved various import warnings (thanks @glguy)
+* Removed the `MonadIO` constraint from the Output type's fields and
+  removed `MonadFail` uses (PR #177, thanks @glguy)
+* Clarified documentation for ANSI colors (thanks Colby Jenn)
+* `Graphics.Vty.Attributes` no longer re-exports
+  `Graphics.Vty.Attributes.Color`
+* The `Graphics.Vty.Attributes.Color` module is now exposed (thanks
+  Colby Jenn)
+* Raised upper bound for `microlens` to 0.4.12 (thanks Artyom Kazak)
+* Changed from using `System.Posix.Env.getEnv` to
+  `System.Environment.lookupEnv` (thanks Jonathan Osser)
+* Added `Graphics.Vty.Image` functions for dealing with character width
+  computations on `Text` values instead of `Strings`:
+  * `safeWctwidth`
+  * `safeWctlwidth`
+  * `wctwidth`
+  * `wctlwidth`
+
+5.25.1
+------
+
+* Avoided a conflict with a Microlens 0.4.10 operator and added an
+  upper bound on Microlens of 0.4.11.
+
+5.25
+----
+
+* The Vty type got a new field, isShutdown, that returns whether the
+  Vty handle has had its 'shutdown' function called (thanks Ian
+  Jeffries)
+* Vty's shutdown function is now thread-safe.
+
+5.24.1
+------
+
+* The "shutdown" method of Vty handles is now idempotent (#159)
+
+5.24
+----
+
+* Add Generic and NFData instances for some types
+* Image: remove custom Show instance, add derived Show and Read
+  instances
+* Updated Travis build settings (thanks Eric Mertens)
+
+5.23.1
+------
+
+* Fixed a bug where italics did not combine properly with other display
+  modes (#155, thanks Eric Mertens)
+
+5.23
+----
+
+* Added support for italicized output when terminfo supports it. This
+  takes the form of a new Style, "italic". Note that most terminfo
+  descriptors do not report capabilities for italics, so support for
+  this will be very spotty.
+* Updateed text/string function documentation to indicate that escapes
+  are not permitted in their inputs.
+
+5.22
+----
+
+* Added Graphics.Vty.Attributes.Color240.color240CodeToRGB function
+  (thanks Brent Carmer)
+* Added nextEventNonblocking function (field) to Vty type (#87)
+
+5.21
+----
+
+* Picture and Background now provide Eq instances (thanks Jaro Reinders)
+* #145: vty builds with microlens 0.4.9 (thanks Daniel Wagner)
+* #142: note requirement of threaded RTS
+
+5.20
+----
+
+API changes:
+* Split up Monoid instances into Monoid and Semigroup for newer GHCs
+  (thanks Ryan Scott)
+
+5.19.1
+------
+
+API changes:
+* Cursor now provides an Eq instance (thanks Jaro Reinders)
+
+5.19
+----
+
+API changes:
+* URL hyperlinking (via 'withURL') is now optional and disabled by
+  default due to poor support on some common terminals. A new 'Mode'
+  constructor, 'Hyperlink', has been added to enable this feature. To
+  change the hyperlinking mode, use 'setMode' on the 'outputIface' of a
+  Vty handle.
+
+5.18.1
+------
+
+Bug fixes:
+* Reset the hyperlink state on line endings to avoid run-on hyperlinks
+
+5.18
+----
+
+API changes:
+* Added support for hyperlinking attributes (thanks Getty Ritter). This
+  change adds a new Attr field for containing the hyperlink to apply,
+  as per https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda
+
+5.17.1
+------
+
+* withStyle now ignores zero arguments, leaving attribute styles
+  untouched if the input style is the null style
+
+5.17
+----
+
+API changes:
+* Add support for terminal focus events. This change adds a new mode
+  usable with setMode, Focus, that requests that the terminal send
+  events on focus lose/gain. This change also adds two new Event
+  constructors, EvLostFocus and EvGainedFocus.
+* No longer enable UTF8 mouse event encoding. This encoding was not
+  working properly with Terminal.app, and using the other modes (SGR,
+  etc.) work.
+* Graphics.Vty.Attributes: escape backticks in Haddock comment (fixes
+  #131)
+
+5.16
+----
+
+API changes:
+* Added support for mouse wheel events while in mouse mode. The Button
+  type got two new constructors as a result: BScrollUp and BScrollDown.
+  Thanks to doublescale@tutanota.com for this contribution!
+
+Bug fixes:
+* charFill now clamps negative arguments to zero (thanks Eric Mertens!)
+
+5.15.1
+------
+
+Package changes:
+* Documentation files are now marked accordingly (thanks Michal
+  Suchánek)
+
+Bug fixes:
+* translateX/Y: fix negative translations
+
+5.15
+----
+
+Package changes:
+* Discontinued support for GHC versions prior to 7.10.1.
+* Removed instructions and configuration for Stack builds since they
+  are no longer supported.
+* Clarified README mention of (lack of) Windows support (contributors
+  wanted, though!)
+* Removed dependency on data-default (see below).
+
+API changes:
+* Moved color definitions from Attributes to Color module.
+* In lieu of data-default (Default) instances for Attr and Config, use
+  'defAttr' and the new 'defaultConfig' (or 'mempty') instead of 'def'.
+* Graphics.Vty.Output no longer re-exports
+  Graphics.Vty.Output.Interface.
+* Removed Graphics.Vty.Prelude module and moved DisplayRegion and its
+  accessors to Graphics.Vty.Image.
+* Graphics.Vty.Image no longer re-exports Graphics.Vty.Attributes.
+* Graphics.Vty.Picture no longer re-exports Graphics.Vty.Image.
+
+5.14
+----
+
+* addMaybeClippedJoin: instead of raising an exception when the join
+  is totally clipped, just reduce the clip amount and continue
+* addMaybeClipped: skip blit of joins when their primary dimension is
+  zero
+* 'string' and related text functions no longer treat an empty string
+  as an empty image (thanks Chris Penner). This means that now it is
+  possible to use 'str ""' as a non-empty image with height 1.
+
+5.13
+----
+
+* Reverted changes in 5.12 due to disagreements between terminal
+  emulators and utf8proc; for more details, please see the ticket
+  discussion at
+  https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/issues/115
+
+5.12
+----
+
+* Replaced 'wcwidth' with a call to the utf8proc library's character
+  width function, which is much more up to date (by several Unicode
+  versions) and returns the right width for a much larger set of
+  characters.
+* Added a bundled version of the utf8proc C library.
+
+5.11.3
+------
+
+* Fix mouse event offsets in mouse-up events
+
+5.11.2
+------
+
+* Mouse events were modified so that the upper-left corner of the window
+  is (0,0) rather than (1,1).
+
+5.11.1
+------
+
+* Add Generic instance for Image
+* nextEvent: stop trying to refresh on a resize event (fixes segfault
+  on refresh with normal cursor positioning mode)
+* Remove redundant clause from clipForCharWidth (thanks Eric Mertens)
+* Update maintainer
+
+5.11
+----
+
+* Vty now raises a VtyConfigurationError exception when the TERM
+  evironment variable is missing (thanks Eric Mertens)
+* Graphics.Vty.Config got an explicit export list to avoid accidentally
+  exporting internal types (thanks Eric Mertens)
+
+5.10
+----
+
+* Add absolute cursor positioning mode AbsoluteCursor to Cursor. This
+  mode provides greater control over cursor positioning by bypassing
+  the logical positioning provided by default. Rather than positioning
+  the cursor by looking at the widths of characters involved, this
+  constructor lets you provide a physical row and column instead. This
+  is useful in more sophisticated programs. (thanks Eric Mertens)
+* Added a new Generic-derived config parser (thanks Eric Mertens)
+* Fixed the MShift case in the configuration file parser (thanks Eric
+  Mertens)
+* Fixed wcwidth import and matched safeWcswidth to its documented
+  behavior. Previously vty_mk_wcwidth was being imported with the
+  wrong type causing the -1 return value to be mapped to the wrong Int
+  value. Additionally safeWcswidth was using the unsafe character width
+  function and only ensuring that the final result was non-negative.
+  (thanks Eric Mertens)
+
+5.9.1
+-----
+
+* Vty now only emits UTF8 charset sequences in terminals without a
+  preexisting UTF8 declaration to avoid emitting garbage sequences
+  (fixes #89)
+
+5.9
+---
+
+* Added new Output methods supportsBell and ringTerminalBell to find out
+  whether the output device has an audio bell and to ring it (see #102)
+
+5.8.1
+-----
+
+* Fixed "refresh" to work as advertised (see #104)
+
+5.8
+---
+
+* API change: EvPaste input event now provides paste data as a raw
+  ByteString rather than a String to allow the application to decode how
+  best to decode it
+
+5.7.1
+-----
+
+* ModeDemo: added an explicit Control.Applicative import for older GHCs
+
+5.7
+---
+
+* Mouse and paste modes are now off by default.
+* The Config type got new fields: mouseMode and bracketedPasteMode.
+  These determine whether these modes are enabled initially (for
+  terminals that support them).
+* Added a Mode type for modal terminal features (mouse events,
+  bracketed paste mode) that is used with new Output interface
+  functions:
+  * supportsMode :: Mode -> Bool tells whether the device supports a
+    mode
+  * setMode :: Mode -> Bool -> IO () turns a mode on or off
+  * getModeStatus :: Mode -> IO Bool tells you whether a mode is on or
+    off
+* Added a new demo program, ModeDemo.hs, to demonstrate usage of modes
+
+5.6
+---
+
+* Added support for normal and extended mouse modes in Xterm-like
+  terminals via the MouseDown and MouseUp Event constructors
+* Added support for bracketed paste mode in Xterm-like terminals via
+  the EvPaste event constructor
+* Added derived Show instances for Event and Button (thanks Felix
+  Hirn)
+* Now TERM values containing "screen" will automatically use the
+  XtermColor driver rather than just TerminfoBased
+
+5.5.0
+-----
+
+* Replaced lens dependency with microlens, microlens-mtl, microlens-th
+  dependencies. Issue #90
+  * Thanks Jonathan Daugherty
+* Cabal corrections.
+  * Thanks Lennart Spitzner
+
+5.4.0
+-----
+
+* Changed eventChannel of Graphics.Vty.Input from Chan to
+  TChan. This enables clients to query if there are no pending
+  events. The Graphics.Vty interface nextEvent is unchanged.
+  Clients that use eventChannel directly will require updating.
+  https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/issues/60
+
+5.3.1
+-----
+
+* Reverted cabal file to depend on Cabal >= 1.18 instead of 1.20 due to
+  possibly breaking this on reasonable GHC versions
+
+5.3
+---
+
+* Upgraded QuickCheck dependency to 2.7
+* The standard IO Config (standardIOConfig) was overriding any provided
+  application config. In addition, the inputFd and outputFd could not be
+  changed if mkVty was used. Fixed.
+* Correct handling of display attributes at end of line. The output
+  attributes are set to default at the end of content for the line and
+  at the start of a new line. Previously the current attribute would
+  extend to the next start of content. This was odd to reason about and
+  was the cause of https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/issues/76 IIRC Yi
+  requires the old behavior to display the selection region correctly.
+* shutdown of the input thread is now performed using killThread and
+  synchronization on an MVar. For correct handling of the terminal read
+  vmin and vtime the read must be a blocking read on an OS thread.
+  This places a threadWaitRead, which will be interrupted by the
+  killThread, prior to the uninterruptable read. An alternative would be
+  to re-import the read foreign call as interruptable.
+
+5.2.11
+------
+
+* deepseq bounds increased for tests.
+* Clean up warnings when compiling on 7.10
+  * Thanks Eric Mertens
+* Avoid discarding input bytes after multi-byte encoded codepoint
+  * Thanks Eric Mertens
+
+5.2.10
+------
+
+* "str" now returns EmptyImage for empty strings to match behavior of
+  other string-like Image constructors (fixes #74)
+  * Thanks Jonathan Daugherty
+
+5.2.9
+-----
+
+* dependency version bumps
+  * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/71
+  * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/70
+* Correct/Simplify the example code
+  * Thanks glguy
+  * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/69
+
+5.2.8
+-----
+
+* blaze-builder, lens, utf8-string version constraint bump
+    * Thanks glguy
+    * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/67
+* Do not differentiate based on TERM_PROGRAM
+    * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/issues/68
+
+5.2.7
+-----
+
+* lens and deepseq constraint bump + misc
+    * Thanks ethercrow
+    * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/66
+
+5.2.6
+-----
+
+* lens constraint bump
+    * Thanks alexander-b!
+    * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/64
+
+5.2.5
+-----
+
+* lens and random version constraint bump.
+    * Thanks RyanGlScott!
+    * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/62
+
+5.2.4
+-----
+
+* removed -fpic from cc-options. No longer required.
+    * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/issues/61
+    * https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9657
+    * Thanks Fuuzetsu!
+
+5.2.3
+-----
+
+* evaluate/compile the input parsing table once instead of each
+  keystroke.
+    * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/59
+    * Thanks ethercrow!
+
+5.2.2
+-----
+
+* When looking at input for an event, don't look too deep.
+    * https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/57
+    * Thanks ethercrow!
+
+5.2.1
+-----
+
+* Bump upper version bound for lens to 4.5. Thanks markus1189!
+
+5.2.0
+-----
+
+* Config structure now specifies file descriptor to use. The default
+  is stdInput and stdOutput file descriptors. Previously Vty used
+  stdInput for input and the follow code for output:
+    * hDuplicate stdout >>= handleToFd >>= (`hSetBuffering`
+      NoBuffering)
+    * the difference was required by Vty.Inline. Now, Vty.Inline uses
+      the Config structure options to acheive the same effect.
+* removed: derivedVtime, derivedVmin, inputForCurrentTerminal,
+  inputForNameAndIO, outputForCurrentTerminal, outputForNameAndIO
+* added: inputForConfig, outputForConfig
+* updates to vty-rogue from jtdaugherty. Thanks!
+* the oldest version of GHC tested to support vty is 7.6.2.
+* the oldest version of GHC that vty compiles under is 7.4.2
+
+5.1.4
+-----
+
+* merged https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/51 thanks trofi!
+
+5.1.1
+-----
+
+* merged https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/48 thanks sjmielke!
+* jtdaugherty resolved a number of compiler warnings. Thanks!
+
+5.1.0
+-----
+
+* vmin and vtime can be specified however the application requires.
+  See Graphics.Vty.Config.
+* fixed the processing of input when vmin is set > 1.
+
+5.0.0
+-----
+
+* The naming convention now matches:
+  * http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Programming_guidelines#Naming_Conventions
+* all projects using vty for input must be compiled with -threaded.
+  Please notify vty author if this is not acceptable.
+* mkVtyEscDelay has been removed. Use "mkVty def". Which initialized
+  vty with the default configuration.
+* input handling changes
+  * KASCII is now KChar
+  * KPN5 is now KCenter
+  * tests exist.
+  * Applications can add to the input tables by setting inputMap of
+    the Config. See Graphics.Vty.Config
+  * Users can define input table extensions that will apply to all vty
+    applications. See Graphics.Vty.Config
+  * terminal timing is now handled by selecting an appropriate VTIME.
+    Previously this was implemented within Vty itself. This reduced
+    complexity in vty but provides a different meta key behavior and
+    implies a requirement on -threaded.
+  * The time vty will wait to verify an ESC byte means a single ESC
+    key is the singleEscPeriod of the Input Config structure.
+* removed the typeclass based terminal and display context interface
+  in favor of a data structure of properties interface.
+* renamed the Terminal interface to Output
+* The default picture for an image now uses the "clear" background.
+  This background fills background spans with spaces or just ends the
+  line.
+  * Previously the background defaulted to the space character. This
+    causes issues copying text from a text editor. The text would end
+    up with extra spaces at the end of the line.
+* Layer support
+  * Each layer is an image.
+  * The layers for a picture are a list of images.
+  * The first image is the top-most layer. The images are ordered from
+    top to bottom.
+  * The transparent areas for a layer are the backgroundFill areas.
+    backgroundFill is added to pad images when images of different
+    sizes are joined.
+  * If the background is clear there is no background layer.
+  * If there is a background character then the bottom layer is the
+    background layer.
+  * emptyPicture is a Picture with no layers and no cursor
+  * addToTop and addToBottom add a layer to the top and bottom of the
+    given Picture.
+* compatibility improvements:
+  * terminfo based terminals with no cursor support are silently
+    accepted. The cursor visibility changes in the Picture will have
+    no effect.
+  * alternate (setf/setb) color maps supported. Though colors beyond
+    the first 8 are just a guess.
+  * added "rgbColor" for easy support of RGB specified colors.
+  * Both applications and users can add to the mapping used to
+    translate from input bytes to events.
+* Additional information about input and output process can be
+  appended to a debug log
+  * Set environment variable VTY_DEBUG_LOG to path of debug log
+  * Or use "debugLog <path>" config directive
+  * Or set 'debugLog' property of the Config provided to mkVty.
+* examples moved to vty-examples package. See test directory for cabal
+  file.
+  * vty-interactive-terminal-test
+    * interactive test. Useful for building a bug report for vty's
+      author.
+    * test/interactive_terminal_test.hs
+  * vty-event-echo
+    * view a input event log for vty. Example of interacting with
+      user.
+    * test/EventEcho.hs
+  * vty-rogue
+    * The start of a rogue-like game. Example of layers and image
+      build operations.
+    * test/Rogue.hs
+  * vty-benchmark
+    * benchmarks vty. A series of tests that push random pictures to
+      the terminal. The random pictures are generated using
+      QuickCheck. The same generators used in the automated tests.
+    * test/benchmark.hs
+
+4.7.0.0
+-------
+
+API changes:
+* Added Graphics.Vty.Image.crop: Ensure an image is no larger
+  than the specified size.
+* Added Graphics.Vty.Image.pad: Ensure an image is no smaller
+  than the specified size.
+* Added Graphics.Vty.Image.translate: Offset an image.
+* Thanks Ben Boeckel <MathStuf@gmail.com> for these features.
+
+4.2.1.0
+-------
+
+API changes:
+* Attr record accessor fore_color changed to attr_fore_color
+* Attr record accessor back_color changed to attr_back_color
+* Attr record accessor style changed to attr_style
+* Added an "inline" display attribute changing DSL:
+  * put_attr_change applies a display attribute change
+    immediately to a terminal
+  * For instance, can be used to change the display attrbiutes
+    of text output via putStrLn and putStr. EX:
+    "put_attr_change $ back_color red" will set the background
+    color to red.
+  * Changes do not apply to a Picture output via output_picture.
+  * See Graphics.Vty.Inline
+* Moved all IO actions into any monad an instance of MonadIO
+
+4.0.0.1
+-------
+
+* binding for mk_wcswidth was incorrect. Most platforms just
+  magically worked due to coincidence.
+
+4.0.0
+-----
+
+API changes:
+* "getSize" has been removed. Use "terminal vty >>= display_bounds"
+  where "vty" is an instance of the Vty data structure.
+* added a "terminal" field to the Vty data structure. Accesses the
+  TerminalHandle associated with the Vty instance.
+* Graphics.Vty.Types has undergone a number of changes. Summary:
+  * Partitioned into Graphics.Vty.Attributes for display attributes.
+    Graphics.Vty.Image for image combinators. Graphics.Vty.Picture
+    for final picture construction.
+* Graphics.Vty.Attributes:
+  * "setFG" and "setBG" are now "with_fore_color" and
+    "with_back_color"
+  * All other "set.." equations similarly replaced.
+  * "attr" is now "def_attr", short for "default display attributes"
+    Also added a "current_attr" for "currently applied display
+    attributes"
+* Graphics.Vty.Image:
+  * "horzcat" is now "horiz_cat"
+  * "vertcat" is now "vert_cat"
+  * "renderBS" is now "utf8_bytestring"
+  * "renderChar" is now "char"
+  * "renderFill" is now "char_fill"
+  * added a "utf8_string" and "string" (AKA "iso_10464_string") for
+    UTF-8 encoded Strings and ISO-10464 encoded Strings. String
+    literals in GHC have an ISO-10464 runtime representation.
+* Graphics.Vty.Picture:
+  * exports Graphics.Vty.Image
+  * "pic" is now "pic_for_image"
+  * added API for setting background fill pattern.
+* Completely rewritten output backend.
+  * Efficient, scanline style output span generator. Has not been
+    fully optimized, but good enough.
+  * The details required to display the desired picture on a
+    terminal are well encapsulated.
+  * Terminfo based display terminal implementation. With specialized
+    derivitives for xterm, Terminal.app, and iTerm.app.
+      * Attempts to robustly handle even terminals that don't
+        support all display attributes.
+      * I've tested the following terminals with success: iTerm.app,
+        Terminal.app, xterm, rxvt, mlterm, Eterm, gnome-terminal,
+        konsole, screen, linux vty. Hopefully you will be as
+        successfull.
+  * Improved unicode support. Double wide characters will display as
+    expected.
+* 256 color support. See Graphics.Vty.Attributes.Color240. The actual
+  output color is adjusted according to the number of colors the
+  terminal supports.
+* The Graphics.Vty.Image combinators no longer require matching
+  dimensions to arguments. Unspecified areas are filled in with a
+  user-customizable background pattern. See Graphics.Vty.Picture.
+* output images are always cropped to display size.
+* Significant code coverage by QuickCheck tests. An interactive test
+  for those final properties that couldn't be automatically verified.
+
+Issues resolved:
+* "gnome terminal displays non-basic attributes as strikethrough"
+  * http://trac.haskell.org/vty/ticket/14
+* "Multi-byte characters are not displayed correctly on update"
+  * http://trac.haskell.org/vty/ticket/10
+* "Redraw does not handle rendering a line that extends beyond screen
+  width characters"
+  * http://trac.haskell.org/vty/ticket/13
+* "The <|> and <-> combinators should be more forgiving of mismatched
+  dimensions"
+  * http://trac.haskell.org/vty/ticket/9
+* "256-color support"
+  * http://trac.haskell.org/vty/ticket/19

-vty is a terminal interface library.
-
-Vty currently provides:
-
-* Automatic handling of window resizes.
-
-* Supports Unicode characters on output, automatically setting and
-  resetting UTF-8 mode for xterm. Other terminals are assumed to support 
-
-* Efficient output. 
-
-* Minimizes repaint area, thus virtually eliminating the flicker
-  problem that plagues ncurses programs.
-
-* A pure, compositional interface for efficiently constructing display
-  images.
-
-* Automatically decodes keyboard keys into (key,[modifier]) tuples.
-
-* Automatically supports refresh on Ctrl-L.
-
-* Automatically supports timeout after 50ms for lone ESC (a barely
-  noticable delay)
-
-* Interface is designed for relatively easy compatible extension.
-
-* Supports all ANSI SGR-modes (defined in console_codes(4)) with
-  a type-safe interface. 
-
-* Properly handles cleanup.

-
-* Minimal support for special keys on terminals other than the

-
-* Uses the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl to find the current window size, which

+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jtdaugherty/vty.png)](https://travis-ci.org/jtdaugherty/vty)
+
+`vty` is a terminal interface library. It provides a high-level
+interface for doing terminal I/O. Vty is supported on GHC versions
+7.10.1 and up.
+
+`vty` and its partner packages are published on
+[Hackage](https://hackage.haskell.org/). The `vty` package works in
+concert with one or more *platform packages* to do terminal I/O. Each
+platform package provides support for terminal I/O on a specific
+platform. Known platform packages are:
+
+* [vty-unix](https://github.com/jtdaugherty/vty-unix) - the Unix
+  terminal backend for Vty
+* [vty-windows](https://github.com/chhackett/vty-windows) - the Windows
+  terminal backend for Vty
+* [vty-crossplatform](https://github.com/jtdaugherty/vty-crossplatform) -
+  a package that builds `vty-unix` or `vty-windows` based on the build
+  environment
+
+# How to use Vty
+
+1. Add a package dependency on `vty-unix`, `vty-windows,` or
+   `vty-crossplatform`, depending on the desired level of platform
+   support. For example, if an application only supports Unix systems,
+   it should depend on `vty-unix`. But if an application is intended to
+   work anywhere Vty works, then `vty-crossplatform` is the best choice.
+2. Add a package dependency on `vty`; the core library abstractions,
+   types, and functions are obtained from `vty` itself. The platform
+   packages do not re-export the core library's modules.
+3. Import `mkVty` from the platform package in step (1) and use that to
+   construct a `Vty` handle and initialize the terminal.
+4. If desired, call `Graphics.Vty.Config.userConfig` to load the Vty
+   user configuration since this step is not automatic.
+
+Once you've initialized the terminal and have a `Vty` value, all of the
+`vty` package's API is now ready to use to do terminal I/O.
+
+# Implementing support for a new platform
+
+Although this shouldn't be necessary to do very often (if ever!), if
+you would like to implement support for a new platform for Vty, see
+`PLATFORM-HOWTO.md`.
+
+# Features
+
+* Provides an efficient output algorithm. Output buffering and terminal
+  state changes are minimized.
+
+* Automatically handles window resizes.
+
+* Minimizes repaint area, which virtually eliminates the flicker
+  problems that plague ncurses programs.
+
+* Provides a pure, compositional interface for efficiently constructing
+  display images.
+
+* Automatically supports refresh on Ctrl-L.
+
+* Provides extensible input and output interfaces.
+
+* Properly handles cleanup (but not due to signals).
+
+* Provides a comprehensive test suite.
+
+* Supports "normal" and "extended" (SGR) mouse modes as described at
+  http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html#h2-Mouse-Tracking
+
+* Supports bracketed paste mode as described at
+  http://cirw.in/blog/bracketed-paste
+
+* Supports multi-column Unicode characters such as emoji characters. In
+  cases where Vty and your terminal emulator disagree on character
+  widths, Vty provides a tool `vty-build-width-table` and library
+  functionality to build a width table that will work for your terminal
+  and load it on application startup.
+
+# Development Notes
+
+Vty uses threads internally, so programs made with Vty need to be
+compiled with the threaded runtime using the GHC `-threaded` option.
+
+# Multi-Column Character Support
+
+Vty supports rendering of multi-column characters such as two-column
+Asian characters and Emoji characters. This section details how to
+take advantage of this feature, since its behavior will depend on the
+terminal emulator in use.
+
+Terminal emulators support Unicode to varying degrees, and each terminal
+emulator relies on a table of column widths for each supported Unicode
+character. Vty also needs to rely on such a table to compute the width
+of Vty images to do image layout. Since those tables can disagree if
+Vty and the terminal emulator support different versions of Unicode,
+and since different terminal emulators will support different versions
+of Unicode, it's likely that for some wide characters, Vty applications
+will exhibit rendering problems. Those rendering problems arise from Vty
+and the terminal emulator coming to different conclusions about how wide
+some characters are.
+
+To address this, Vty supports loading custom character width tables
+that are based on the terminal's behavior in order to eliminate these
+disagreements. By default, though, Vty will use its built-in Unicode
+character width table. Since the built-in table is likely to eventually
+disagree with your terminal, Vty provides an API and a command-line tool
+to generate and install custom tables.
+
+Custom Unicode width tables based on your terminal emulator can
+be built by using the API in `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable`.
+The process works by querying the current terminal environment to
+obtain its width measurements for the entire supported Unicode
+range. The results are then saved to a disk file.
+
+Saved width tables can then be loaded in one of two ways:
+
+* Via the library API in `Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.IO`
+* By adding a `widthMap` directive to your Vty configuration file and
+  then invoking `mkVty` to initialize Vty
+
+The Vty configuration file supports the `widthMap` directive to allow
+users to specify which custom width table should be loaded for a given
+terminal type. This is done by specifying, e.g.,
+
+```
+widthMap "xterm" "/path/to/map.dat"
+```
+
+where the first argument is the value that `TERM` must have in order for
+the table to be loaded, and the second argument is the path to the table
+file itself as generated by the two alternatives listed above. If the
+Vty configuration file contains multiple matching `widthMap` directives
+for the current value of `TERM`, the last one listed in the file is
+used.
+
+The tables declared in the configuration file are only ever
+automatically loaded when applications set up Vty by calling
+`Graphics.Vty.mkVty`.
+
+Before a custom table has been loaded, calls to the library's character
+width functions (e.g. `wcwidth`) will use the default built-in table.
+Once a custom table has been loaded, the functions will use the new
+custom table. Only one custom table load can be performed in a Vty
+program. Once a custom table has been loaded, it cannot be replaced or
+removed.
+
+# Contributing
+
+If you decide to contribute, that's great! Here are some guidelines you
+should consider to make submitting patches easier for all concerned:
+
+ - Patches written completely or partially by AI are unlikely to be
+   accepted. Please disclose any AI use.
+ - If you want to take on big things, talk to me first; let's have a
+   design/vision discussion before you start coding. Create a GitHub
+   issue and we can use that as the place to hash things out.
+ - If you make changes, make them consistent with the syntactic
+   conventions already used in the codebase.
+ - Please provide Haddock documentation for any changes you make.
+ - Please do NOT include package version changes in your patches.
+   Package version changes are only done at release time when the full
+   scope of a release's changes can be evaluated to determine the
+   appropriate version change.

+-- | Vty provides interfaces for both terminal input and terminal
+-- output.
+--
+-- - User input to the terminal is provided to the Vty application as a
+--   sequence of 'Event's.
+--
+-- - Output is provided to by the application to Vty in the form of a
+--   'Picture'. A 'Picture' is one or more layers of 'Image's.
+--   'Image' values can be built by the various constructors in
+--   "Graphics.Vty.Image". Output can be syled using 'Attr' (attribute)
+--   values in the "Graphics.Vty.Attributes" module.
+--
+-- - Each platform on which Vty is supported provides a package that
+--   provides Vty with access to the platform-specific terminal
+--   interface. For example, on Unix systems, the @vty-unix@ package
+--   must be used to initialize Vty with access to a Unix terminal.
+--
+-- As a small example, the following program demonstrates the use of Vty
+-- on a Unix system using the @vty-unix@ package:
+--
+-- > import Graphics.Vty
+-- > import Graphics.Vty.Platform.Unix (mkVty)
+-- >
+-- > main = do
+-- >     vty <- mkVty defaultConfig
+-- >     let line0 = string (defAttr `withForeColor` green) "first line"
+-- >         line1 = string (defAttr `withBackColor` blue) "second line"
+-- >         img = line0 <-> line1
+-- >         pic = picForImage img
+-- >     update vty pic
+-- >     e <- nextEvent vty
+-- >     shutdown vty
+-- >     print ("Last event was: " ++ show e)
+--
+-- Vty uses threads internally, so programs made with Vty must be
+-- compiled with the threaded runtime using the GHC @-threaded@ option.

+-- | Vty supports a configuration file format and provides a
+-- corresponding 'VtyUserConfig' data type. The 'VtyUserConfig' can be
+-- provided to platform packages' @mkVty@ functions to customize the
+-- application's use of Vty.
+--
+-- = Debug
+--
+-- == @colorMode@
+--
+-- Format:
+--
+-- @
+--  colorMode \"<ColorMode8|ColorMode16|ColorMode240 <int>|FullColor>\"
+-- @
+--
+-- The preferred color mode to use, chosen from the constructors of the
+-- 'ColorMode' type. If absent, the backend driver may detect and choose
+-- an appropriate color mode. Implementor's note: backend packages
+-- should respect this setting when it is present even when their
+-- detection indicates that a different color mode should be used.
+--
+-- == @debugLog@
+--
+-- Format:
+--
+-- @
+--  \"debugLog\" string
+-- @
+--
+-- The value of the environment variable @VTY_DEBUG_LOG@ is equivalent
+-- to a debugLog entry at the end of the last config file.
+--
+-- = Input Processing
+--
+-- == @map@
+--
+-- Format:
+--
+-- @
+--  \"map\" term string key modifier_list
+--  where
+--      key := KEsc | KChar Char | KBS ... (same as 'Key')
+--      modifier_list := \"[\" modifier+ \"]\"
+--      modifier := MShift | MCtrl | MMeta | MAlt
+--      term := "_" | string
+-- @
+--
+-- E.g., if the contents are
+--
+-- @
+--  map _       \"\\ESC[B\"    KUp   []
+--  map _       \"\\ESC[1;3B\" KDown [MAlt]
+--  map \"xterm\" \"\\ESC[D\"    KLeft []
+-- @
+--
+-- Then the bytes @\"\\ESC[B\"@ will result in the KUp event on all
+-- terminals. The bytes @\"\\ESC[1;3B\"@ will result in the event KDown
+-- with the MAlt modifier on all terminals. The bytes @\"\\ESC[D\"@ will
+-- result in the KLeft event when @TERM@ is @xterm@.
+--
+-- If a debug log is requested then vty will output the current input
+-- table to the log in the above format. A workflow for using this is
+-- to set @VTY_DEBUG_LOG@. Run the application. Check the debug log for
+-- incorrect mappings. Add corrected mappings to @$HOME\/.vty\/config@.
+--
+-- = Unicode Character Width Maps
+--
+-- == @widthMap@
+--
+-- Format:
+--
+-- @
+--  \"widthMap\" string string
+-- @
+--
+-- E.g.,
+--
+-- @
+--   widthMap \"xterm\" \"\/home\/user\/.vty\/xterm\_map.dat\"
+-- @
+--
+-- This directive specifies the path to a Unicode character
+-- width map (the second argument) that should correspond to
+-- the terminal named by first argument. Unicode character
+-- width maps can be produced either by running platform
+-- packages' width table tools or by calling the library routine
+-- 'Graphics.Vty.UnicodeWidthTable.Query.buildUnicodeWidthTable'. Vty
+-- platform packages should use these configuration settings to attempt
+-- to load and install the specified width map.

---  | Generic Terminal interface.

---  2. Graphics.Vty.Terminal.Generic: Defines the generic interface all terminals need to implement.
---
---  3. Graphics.Vty.Terminal.TerminfoBased: Defines a terminal instance that uses terminfo for all

---  I don't know a way to reliably determine if that is required or how to do so.

--- | Returns a TerminalHandle (an abstract Terminal instance) for the current terminal.
---
--- The specific Terminal implementation used is hidden from the API user. All terminal
--- implementations are assumed to perform more, or less, the same. Currently all implementations use
--- terminfo for at least some terminal specific information. This is why platforms without terminfo
--- are not supported. However, as mentioned before, any specifics about it being based on terminfo
--- are hidden from the API user.  If a terminal implementation is developed for a terminal for a
--- platform without terminfo support then Vty should work as expected on that terminal.
---
--- Selection of a terminal is done as follows:
---
---      * If TERM == xterm
---          then the terminal might be one of the Mac OS X .app terminals. Check if that might be
---          the case and use MacOSX if so.
---          otherwise use XTermColor.
---
---      * for any other TERM value TerminfoBased is used.
---
---
--- The terminal has to be determined dynamically at runtime. To satisfy this requirement all
--- terminals instances are lifted into an abstract terminal handle via existential qualification.
--- This implies that the only equations that can used are those in the terminal class.
---
--- To differentiate between Mac OS X terminals this uses the TERM_PROGRAM environment variable.
--- However, an xterm started by Terminal or iTerm *also* has TERM_PROGRAM defined since the
--- environment variable is not reset/cleared by xterm. However a Terminal.app or iTerm.app started
--- from an xterm under X11 on mac os x will likely be done via open. Since this does not propogate
--- environment variables (I think?) this assumes that XTERM_VERSION will never be set for a true
--- Terminal.app or iTerm.app session.
---
---
--- The file descriptor used for output will a duplicate of the current stdout file descriptor.
---
--- todo: add an implementation for windows that does not depend on terminfo. Should be installable
--- with only what is provided in the haskell platform.
---
--- todo: The Terminal interface does not provide any input support.

--- | The debug display terminal produces a string representation of the requested picture.  There is
--- *not* an isomorphism between the string representation and the picture.  The string
--- representation is a simplification of the picture that is only useful in debugging VTY without
--- considering terminal specific issues.
---
--- The debug implementation is useful in manually determining if the sequence of terminal operations
--- matches the expected sequence. So requirement of the produced representation is simplicity in
--- parsing the text representation and determining how the picture was mapped to terminal
--- operations.
---
--- All terminals support the operations specified in the Terminal class defined in
--- Graphics.Vty.Terminal. As an instance of the Terminal class is also an instance of the Monad
--- class there exists a monoid that defines it's algebra. The string representation is a sequence of
--- identifiers where each identifier is the name of an operation in the algebra.

-This is an interactive verification program for the terminal input and output
-support of the VTY library. This will ask a series of questions about what you
-see on screen. The goal is to verify that VTY's output and input support
-performs as expected with your terminal.
-
-This program produces a file named 
-    |] ++ output_file_path ++ [s| 
-in the current directory that contains the results for each test assertion. This
-can  be emailed to coreyoconnor@gmail.com and used by the VTY authors to improve
-support for your terminal. No personal information is contained in the report.
-
-Each test follows, more or less, the following format:
-    0. A description of the test is printed which will include a detailed
-    description of what VTY is going to try and what the expected results are.
-    Press return to move on.
-    1. The program will produce some output or ask for you to press a key.
-    2. You will then be asked to confirm if the behavior matched the provided
-    description.  Just pressing enter implies the default response that
-    everything was as expected. 
-
-All the tests assume the following about the terminal display:
-    0. The terminal display will not be resized during a test and is at least 80 
-    characters in width. 
-    1. The terminal display is using a monospaced font for both single width and
-    double width characters.
-    2. A double width character is displayed with exactly twice the width of a 
-    single column character. This may require adjusting the font used by the
-    terminal. At least, that is the case using xterm. 
-    3. Fonts are installed, and usable by the terminal, that define glyphs for
-    a good range of the unicode characters. Each test involving unicode display
-    describes the expected appearance of each glyph. 
-
-Thanks for the help! :-D
-To exit the test early enter "q" anytime at the following menu screen.
-
-If any test failed then please post an issue to
-    https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/issues
-with the test_results.list file pasted into the issue. The issue summary can
-mention the specific tests that failed or just say "interactive terminal test

 synopsis:            A simple terminal UI library
 description:
-  vty is terminal GUI library in the niche of ncurses.  It is intended to be easy to use, have no
-  confusing corner cases, and good support for common terminal types.
-  .
-  Included in the source distribution is a program test/interactive_terminal_test.hs that
-  demonstrates the various features. 
-  .
-  If your terminal is not behaving as expected the results of the vty-interactive-terminal-test
-  executable should be sent to the Vty maintainter to aid in debugging the issue.
-  .
-  Notable infelicities: Sometimes poor efficiency; Assumes UTF-8 character encoding support by the
-  terminal;
-  .
-  Project is hosted on github.com: https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty
+  vty is terminal GUI library in the niche of ncurses. It is intended to

   .
-  git clone git://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty.git
+  See the example programs in the @vty-crossplatform@ package examples
+  on how to use the library.
