fuelen/owl

Owl is an Elixir library designed for building interactive terminal user interfaces. It provides core components such as a LiveScreen server for rendering UI blocks, along with widgets like tables, progress bars, and spinners. The system also includes utilities for handling ANSI colors, borders, and secure system command execution.

Introduces the Owl library for building interactive terminal applications, featuring a LiveScreen server for live-updating UI blocks, widgets like ProgressBar and Spinner, and data formatting tools including Box, Table, and Palette. The release adds support for ANSI color sequences, hyperlinks, and various border styles, along with system command wrappers that safely log secrets.

The examples directory now includes demonstrations for the new Spinner and ProgressBar widgets, a resizable table with colorized cells, and a multi-bar progress demo. A new 'emulate compilation' example shows how to integrate Logger handlers with the LiveScreen, specifically addressing a fix for OTP 28+ where logs were previously not being written due to default domain filters. The 'walking owl' animation has been updated to respect border sizes in its boundary calculations.

The project now requires Elixir 1.16 or higher, dropping support for earlier versions. Several development dependencies have been updated: ex\_doc has been upgraded to version 0.40.3, excoveralls to 0.18.5, and dialyxir to 1.0. An optional dependency, ucwidth, has been added to support multibyte character width calculations. The application configuration has also been updated to include a proper module entry and additional extra applications.
