Release 1.18.0
Added
-----
* `cursor.blink-rate` option, allowing you to configure the rate the
cursor blinks with (when `cursor.blink=yes`) ([#1707][1707]);
* Support for `wp_single_pixel_buffer_v1`; certain overlay surfaces
will now utilize the new single-pixel buffer protocol. This mainly
reduces the memory usage, but should also be slightly faster.
* Support for high-res mouse wheel scroll events ([#1738][1738]).
* Styled and colored underlines ([#828][828]).
* Support for SGR 21 (double underline).
* Support for `XTPUSHCOLORS`, `XTPOPCOLORS` and `XTREPORTCOLORS`,
i.e. color palette stack ([#856][856]).
* Log output now respects the [`NO_COLOR`](http://no-color.org/)
environment variable ([#1771][1771]).
* Support for [in-band window resize
notifications](https://gist.github.com/rockorager/e695fb2924d36b2bcf1fff4a3704bd83),
private mode `2048`.
* Support for OSC-99 [_"Kitty desktop
notifications"_](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/desktop-notifications/).
* `desktop-notifications.command` option, replaces `notify`.
* `desktop-notifications.inhibit-when-focused` option, replaces
`notify-focus-inhibit`.
* `${category}`, `${urgency}`, `${expire-time}`, `${replace-id}`,
`${icon}` and `${action-argument}` added to the
`desktop-notifications.command` template.
* `desktop-notifications.command-action-argument` option, defining how
`${action-argument}` (in `desktop-notifications.command`) should be
expanded.
* `desktop-notifications.close` option, defining what to execute when
an application wants to close an existing notification (via an
OSC-99 escape sequence).

Changed
-------
* All `XTGETTCAP` capabilities are now in the `tigetstr()` format:
- parameterized string capabilities were previously "source
encoded", meaning e.g. `\E` where not "decoded" into `\x1b`.
- Control characters were also "source encoded", meaning they were
returned as e.g. "^G" instead of `\x07` ([#1701][1701]).
In other words, if, after this change, `XTGETTCAP` returns a string
that is different compared to `tigetstr()`, then it is likely a bug
in foot's implementation of `XTGETTCAP`.
* If the cursor foreground and background colors are identical (for
example, when cursor uses inverted colors and the cell's foreground
and background are the same), the cursor will instead be rendered
using the default foreground and background colors, inverted
([#1761][1761]).
* Mouse wheel events now generate `BTN_WHEEL_BACK` and
`BTN_WHEEL_FORWARD` "button presses", instead of `BTN_BACK` and
`BTN_FORWARD`. The default bindings have been updated, and
`scrollback-up-mouse`, `scrollback-down-mouse`, `font-increase` and
`font-decrease` now use the new button names.
This change allow users to separate physical mouse buttons that
_also_ generates `BTN_BACK` and `BTN_FORWARD`, from wheel scrolling
([#1763][1763]).
* Replaced the old catppuccin theme with updated flavored themes
pulled from [catppuccin/foot](https://github.com/catppuccin/foot)
* Mouse selections can now be started inside the margins
([#1702][1702]).

Deprecated
----------
* `notify` option; replaced by `desktop-notifications.command`.
* `notify-focus-inhibit` option; replaced by
`desktop-notifications.inhibit-when-focused`.
Fixed
-----
* Crash when zooming in or out, with `dpi-aware=yes`, and the
monitor's DPI is 0 (this is true for, for example, nested Wayland
sessions, or in virtualized environments).
* No error response for empty `XTGETTCAP` request ([#1694][1694]).
* Unicode-mode in one foot client affecting other clients, in foot
server mode ([#1717][1717]).
* IME interfering in URL-mode ([#1718][1718]).
* OSC-52 reply interleaved with other data sent to the client
([#1734][1734]).
* XKB compose state being reset when foot receives a new keymap
([#1744][1744]).
* Regression: alpha changes through OSC-11 sequences not taking effect
until window is resized.
* VS15 being ignored ([#1742][1742]).
* VS16 being ignored for a subset of the valid VS16 sequences
([#1742][1742]).
* Crash in debug builds, when using OSC-12 to set the cursor color and
foot config has not set any custom cursor colors (i.e. without
OSC-12, inverted fg/bg would be used).
* Wrong color used when drawing the unfocused, hollow cursor.
* Encoding of `BTN_BACK` and `BTN_FORWARD`, when sending a mouse input
escape sequence to the terminal application.
