  • CHANGES
    • Default TICKIT_CHILD_WINDOWS_LATER on; with env. var to disable it
    • Allow optional $pen argument to $term->{print,clear,erasech}
    • Support flushing of RenderBuffer directly to a Tickit::Term
    • Store pending 'later' geometry changes separately from expose logic to ensure correct output
    • Rewrite of Window rendering logic:
      • accumulate damage and run expose logic only on root window
    • Provide a more robust associative version of is_termlog() to avoid test logic that depends on exact rendering order
  • BUGFIXES
    • Ensure that $win->subwindows works on windows with no subs
    • $win->restore should remember to flush the actual terminal buffer
    • Ensure that RB masks are correctly interpreted during translations
