Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.18.3nb2, Package name: chafa-1.18.3nb2, Maintainer: ktnb

Chafa is a command-line utility that converts image data, including
animated GIFs, into graphics formats or ANSI/Unicode character art
suitable for display in a terminal. It has broad feature support,
allowing it to be used on devices ranging from historical
teleprinters to modern terminal emulators and everything in between.

chafa: update to 1.18.3

- Sixels are no longer used inside tmux when the outer terminal can't
  display them.
- Padding and fully transparent areas revealed by alpha thresholding
  are now correctly painted in the flat background color instead of
  the closest match
- CLI: Hang when `--files` was used and standard input was a pipe.
- CLI: Potential busy-wait for a complete token from a file list.
- CLI: TIFF images decoded with wrong channel order on big-endian.
- CLI: Integer overflow in image loader size arithmetic
- CLI: Unbounded allocation decoding GIF frames larger than the
  file's logical extent.
- OOB read one entry past the end of the palette color table.
- Double free of the pixel canvas after `chafa_canvas_new_similar()`.
- Spurious pen added to palettes with fewer than 255 colors.

Log message:
chafa: update to 1.18.1

- New option: `--probe-mode=[any|ctty|stdio]`. This specifies whether
  to probe the terminal through stdio or ctty (usually `/dev/tty`).
  Defaults to `any`, which will probe stdio if it looks like a tty,
  otherwise the ctty. This allows the terminal to be probed when I/O
  is redirected
- We now try harder to restore the terminal to a usable state after
  `SIGINT` is received, even if we couldn't do a clean exit in a
  reasonable time frame
- Bash completions were added and zsh completions updated
- Improved compatibility for the Kitty protocol
- Bug fixes:
  - Test failure on sparc64
  - Test failure on i386
  - Bad console modes on win32 after exit
  - Stalling on closed output pipe on OpenBSD.
