Needed to render COLRv1 fonts. Which are needed because bitmap emoji
fonts dont render well at large font sizes such as can be used with
multicell chars.
We need this because Go < 1.23 produces binaries that dont work on
modern OpenBSD because OpenBSD decided to remove syscall() from their
libc. Mad buggers, who removes functions from libc breaking all
binaries!!
Also increase minimum macOS version to 11.0 as Go 1.23 requires that
Catalina is actually already EOL as of July 2022 but we dont need
anything from newer releases that isn't detected at runtime. Going to
Catalina allows us to use a better format for the generated DMG (UMNO
instead of ULFO which compresses better).
Some change in mesa 24.1.1 causes glfw EGL context creation to fail on
Wayland when using anything less than the newest Wayland client library.
This prevents kitty from starting with the error:
[glfw error 65542]: EGL: Failed to get EGL display: Success
Sigh, Wayland. Probably the newest client library will break on older
systems. Even basic things like window creation cant be relied upon to
be stable in this joke of a graphics stack.
See #7517
The existing wayland cursor shape protocol is an awful mess with a years
long unfixed crashing bug: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/4878#issuecomment-1134259604
If this new protocol is adopted by most compositors it can work around
this. Currently wlroots and KDE I think. GNOME as usual will likely
refuse to implement anything actually useful.
It's easier to type, and cuter.
Also, most, if not all of the TUI parts of
kitty's kittens will eventually be re-written into kitten.
The only downside I can see is that we cant tab complete kitty
anymore, but hopefully there will be less reason to run kitty
from the shell as command line tools migrate to kitten.
Meowrrrr!!!
