## [Unreleased]

## [0.7.2] - 25-Feb-2019

### Added

- Test coverage for data only packages.

### Changed

- Refactoring packages that contained a mix of public and internal identifiers.

#### Breaking API changes

The following packages were refactored, no impact is expected as the removed
identifiers shouldn't be used externally.

- Functions align.Text and align.Rectangle were moved to a new
  internal/alignfor package.
- Types cell.Cell and cell.Buffer were moved into a new internal/canvas/buffer
  package.

## [0.7.1] - 24-Feb-2019

### Fixed

- Some of the packages that were moved into internal are required externally.
  This release makes them available again.

### Changed

#### Breaking API changes

- The draw.LineStyle enum was refactored into its own package
  linestyle.LineStyle. Users will have to replace:

  -  draw.LineStyleNone -> linestyle.None
  -  draw.LineStyleLight -> linestyle.Light
  -  draw.LineStyleDouble -> linestyle.Double
  -  draw.LineStyleRound -> linestyle.Round

## [0.7.0] - 24-Feb-2019

### Added

#### New widgets

- The Button widget.

#### Improvements to documentation

- Clearly marked the public API surface by moving private packages into
  internal directory.
- Started a GitHub wiki for Termdash.

#### Improvements to the LineChart widget

- The LineChart widget can display X axis labels in vertical orientation.
- The LineChart widget allows the user to specify a custom scale for the Y
  axis.
- The LineChart widget now has an option that disables scaling of the X axis.
  Useful for applications that want to continuously feed data and make them
  "roll" through the linechart.
- The LineChart widget now has a method that returns the observed capacity of
  the LineChart the last time Draw was called.
- The LineChart widget now supports zoom of the content triggered by mouse
  events.

#### Improvements to the Text widget

- The Text widget now has a Write option that atomically replaces the entire
  text content.


#### Improvements to the infrastructure

- A function that draws text vertically.
- A non-blocking event distribution system that can throttle repetitive events.
- Generalized mouse button FSM for use in widgets that need to track mouse
  button clicks.

### Changed

- Termbox is now initialized in 256 color mode by default.
- The infrastructure now uses the non-blocking event distribution system to
  distribute events to subscribers. Each widget is now an individual
  subscriber.
- The infrastructure now throttles event driven screen redraw rather than
  redrawing for each input event.
- Widgets can now specify the scope at which they want to receive keyboard and
  mouse events.

#### Breaking API changes

##### High impact

- The constructors of all the widgets now also return an error so that they
  can validate the options. This is a breaking change for the following
  widgets: BarChart, Gauge, LineChart, SparkLine, Text. The callers will have
  to handle the returned error.

##### Low impact

- The container package no longer exports separate methods to receive Keyboard
  and Mouse events which were replaced by a Subscribe method for the event
  distribution system. This shouldn't affect users as the removed methods
  aren't needed by container users.
- The widgetapi.Options struct now uses an enum instead of a boolean when
  widget specifies if it wants keyboard or mouse events. This only impacts
  development of new widgets.

### Fixed

- The LineChart widget now correctly determines the Y axis scale when multiple
  series are provided.
- Lint issues in the codebase, and updated Travis configuration so that golint
  is executed on every run.
- Termdash now correctly starts in locales like zh_CN.UTF-8 where some of the
  characters it uses internally can have ambiguous width.

## [0.6.1] - 12-Feb-2019

### Fixed

- The LineChart widget now correctly places custom labels.

## [0.6.0] - 07-Feb-2019

### Added

- The SegmentDisplay widget.
- A CHANGELOG.
- New line styles for borders.

### Changed

- Better recordings of the individual demos.

### Fixed

- The LineChart now has an option to change the behavior of the Y axis from
  zero anchored to adaptive.
- Lint errors reported on the Go report card.
- Widgets now correctly handle a race when new user data are supplied between
  calls to their Options() and Draw() methods.

## [0.5.0] - 21-Jan-2019

### Added

- Draw primitives for drawing circles.
- The Donut widget.
