mintty 0.5.3

[Andy Koppe]

Hi,

mintty 0.5.3 is now available for download from http://mintty.googlecode.com.
The usual round of fixes and minor enhancements:

- The "clicks place cursor" feature now works correctly for double-
width characters.
- Fixed some weirdness in mouse selection where the newline character
preceding a line would annoyingly be included in the selection.
- Extended the xterm sequence for maximising and restoring the window:
\e[9;2t will make it go fullscreen.
- Added a mintty-specific control sequence for querying or changing
font size, e.g. \e]7770;+1\a will increase font size by 1. See the
control sequences section of the manual for further details.
- Added a mintty-specific control sequence for querying or changing
locale and charset on the fly, e.g.: \e]7776;C.ISO-8859-7\a to switch
to the Greek ISO charset. Again, further details in the manual.
- Finally, from some silly eyecandy: "Glass" is now available as a
transparency option on Vista and above with desktop compositing
enabled. It turns the whole mintty window into a seamless sheet of
"Aero glass".
To make this anywhere near usable, the glass colour needs to be set to
be as dark as possible in the Windows control panel: choose
Personalize from the desktop context menu, click on Window Color, turn
the color intensity up to the maximum, show the color mixer, and turn
the brightness down to black.

Enjoy,
Andy
