Console 1.5

I've released the latest beta build, 351, as the final Console 1.5. As I have started working on v2, there will be no more updates and bugfixes to v1 branch. Feel free to report bugs, since I will try to keep them out of v2 :-)

For people upgrading from v1.42, please read the changelog, there have been some changes in configuration files.

Here are the changes:

- removed debug output from Release build (forgot
to do it sometime in the past)

- removed "resize" attribute from <image> tag
under <background>; added "style" and "extend"
atributes

- fixed fake transparency and relative backgrounds
for multiple monitors (I hope :-)

- a fix for failed transparency when using fake
transparency; only the color you set as the
background color will be treated as the
background color and painted transparently
(before, Console was trying to guess the current
background color, but that didn't work reliably with
some programs like vim that seem to change
background color while painting their screen)

- tweaked background creation a bit

- improved startup time for tinted backgrounds

- added <hide_console_timeout> tag to the
<appearance> tag; it contorls how long the Win
console window will be visible (but minimized)
during shell startup; some shells (like 4NT) need
Win console window visible during initialization

- window position is not changed when reloading
settings

- you can set initial X or Y position to -1 to let the
system place the Console window at startup

- if Console title is set to "", " - " is no longer
displayed at the beginning of the window title

- added a few more cursor types: "noblink block",
"pulse block", "rect", "noblink rect", "noblink line"

- copied text now has \r\n at the end of each row

- added <start_minimized> tag to <appearance>
tag; if set to true, Console will start minimized

- Minimize option is now available if Console has
visible taskbar button (used to be disabled for
some configurations)

- added <console_color> tag under <background>
element that specifies console background color;
this color will be replaced with the <color> color;
this enables you to keep Windows' console
background black (the least problems) and set
your own background color for Console window

- rows and columns of <size> tag can be set to
'max' to maximize the Console window; see
chapter 9.5 for details
