  • Version 0.51.1 of ponylang/ponyc has been released. See the release notes for more details.

from @nogginly:

I’ve started an external package that offers enhanced terminal application development APIs. This offers compatibility with the term package’s ANSI, ANSITerm and ANSINotify types while defining a core API that offers more advanced capability.

So far I have been testing on macOS using Terminal.app. I would love to get some help running the example apps on other platforms (Linux, Windows). In particular, there are two examples that I would like to get feedback on:

  1. examples/formatting which can be used to test the various text formatting options supported.
  2. examples/mousing which can be used to test mouse input handling
