The API is always available in Win8+ even in UWP builds, unlike CreateFileW.
The API is pretty much the same. CONOUT is also supported [1].

If the environment forces the UNICODE define it will use the wrong call.

It's already defined properly.

If the system allows newer API's we should downversion it.

- Save and correctly restore console input mode, ie. do not
   change settings of the original console.
 - Fix hiding of cursor.
 - Free console again if the driver actually created a new one.
 - Default canvas size is current window size.
 - Base calculation on current font.
 - Properly handle press and release events of up to 5 mouse buttons.
 - Map right mouse button to button #3. This is a change in behaviour,
   which is desirable for cross-platform codes.
 - Generate two click events for double mouse clicks.
 - Mouse wheel support, creates button press events. Button numbers
   are identical to X11 mappings.
 - Handle window buffer resize events.

Fixes #41.

code for clarity.

split is rendered moot by the plugin system: when enabled, binaries do
not link directly with libX11 or libGL. I hope this is a step towards
more consisteny and clarity.

far better for error checking.

<cucul.h> will provide the C99 types, even if libcaca has been installed.
  * Rename what's left of "common.h" to "stubs.h".
  * Remove all references to erroneous <inttypes.h> from source files.

without using environment variables..
  * Implement caca_get_display_driver() to return the current display's
    output driver.
  * Add a simple example program to test caca_create_display_with_driver().

direct cv->chars and cv->attrs access by display drivers.

drivers no longer need to access the cv->refcount private member
    and __cucul_set_canvas_size() is no longer needed.

functions to access its real data. This is a big API change that will
    break your software, sorry :(

collisions due to symbol mangling.

the now official cucul_attr_to_ansi_[fb]g().

as bold or underline. No higher level support for these yet, but at
    least everything is consistent.
  * Created cucul_set_attr_ansi() and cucul_set_attr_argb() which are bound
    to replace cucul_set_color() and cucul_set_truecolor().

resizes it later, or the driver changes it to fit the display.

with "utf8".

in all .c files that needed it.

their name, eg. cucul_create() -> cucul_create_canvas() etc.
  * Moved buffer-related functions to cucul/buffer.c.

* Renamed canvas handle variables from "c" to "cv". Eh ouais mon gros.

such as cucul_dither_t instead of struct cucul_dither.
  * Made cucul_buffer_t an opaque structure and implemented the two getters
    cucul_get_buffer_data() and cucul_get_buffer_size().
  * Documented all missing functions and function parameters.

remove redundencies in the Doxygen documentation.

that we have one function less.
  * Fixed coding style.
  * Removed FUCKING TABS.               ____.------.___
