Sixel support; faster compressed graphical image transfers.
This release adds sixel support, it can be selected with --pixelation=sixel
or, short -ps
.
The sixel support has been tested with xterm
(invoke with option -ti vt340
), mlterm
, xfce4-terminal
(compiled with latest vte that allows for sixels) and alacritty-sixel.
Typically, you'd need to provide the -ps
option if you want to test sixel output as auto-detection is currently only supported for xterm and mlterm.
Other than that, some few refinements here and there, faster compression for --pixelation=kitty
and --pixelation=iterm2
.
