In the current implementation, when text is written over an image, we
have to cut the entire text line out of the image, regardless of how
long the text is. It doesn't look good, but it was a design choice for
the following reasons:
1) To keep the sixel engine as fast as possible
2) Most applications do not write text on the images anyway
To bring the st terminal in line with other terminals that support
sixels, I have now improved the sixel renderer so that the images can
now have gaps, which allows the text to be printed inside the images.
The changes should not affect performance in normal cases. Only when the
renderer has to deal with the text there might be some performance hits
depending on how many gaps there are in the images.
P2 selects how the terminal draws the background color.
P2 Meaning
0 or 2 (default) Pixel positions specified as 0 are set to the
current background color.
1 Pixel positions specified as 0 remain at their
current color.
Both modes are now supported.

The general reasoning is that the vim browse patch is very invasive,
has a high level of complexity, and is incompatible with a significant
number of other patches and it complicates further maintenance.
Additionally the patch has its own scrollback mechanism which seemingly
did not work properly - and nobody seems to have complained about this
since the patch was added back in May 2021.
If you want to try out the vim browse patch then I would recommend having
a play around with the patch author's own build that has this patch
integrated:
- https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st-history-vim
- https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st
Alternatively a tag has been added to this repository that refers to the
last commit that still has the vim browse patch:

* sixel: remove black bars from sixel images
When the images don't fully cover the text cells, black bars are added
to them. This fix removes those bars, but if you need the old behavior,
you can restore it by setting 'sixelremovebars' to zero in config.h
* sixel: fix a potential memory leak
* sixel: improve behavior with text reflow
* sixel: prevent animated gifs from choking the terminal
Animated gifs constantly spawn new images that eventually choke the
terminal because the old animation frames are kept in the image buffer.
This fix removes overlapping images from the image buffer and prevents
them from piling up.
* sixel: add zooming and clipping
* sixel: copying bulk of changes
* sixel: move sixel_parser_parse() and add missing sequences and blocks (#113)
- Move sixel_parser_parse() from tputc() to twrite()
- Add missing 8452, DECSDM, XTSMGRAPHICS and XTWINOPS sequences
- Add more conditional blocks for the scrollback and sync patches
- Remove unused reflow_y from ImageList. It is only used for the
scrollback-reflow patch in st-sx.
* sixel: update vtiden to VT200 family
* sixel: fix scrolling issues inside tmux (#114)
tmux is using the scrolling region and sequence to clear the screen
below the shell prompt. This peculiar behavior caused the tscrollup()
function to be called, which always scrolled the images regardless of
whether they were inside the region or not. So the images moved out of
place whenever the bottom of the screen was cleared. This fix checks
that the images are inside the region before scrolling them.
* sixel: prevent images from being deleted when resizing (#115)
This fixes resizing issues outside of tmux not inside.
* Rewriting tresize logic based on veltza's proposed implementation in PR #115
* tresize: correction for tscrollup call when scrollback patch is used

...support for transparency. Technically, the sixels do not have transparency,
but empty pixels are now rendered with the current background color instead
of black to make the them appear transparent. Same goes for the black bars.
The current background color makes them disappear.
There is one technical limitation with the alpha focus highlight patch.
The alpha value and background color is taken from the current background color,
so when the window is unfocused, images may have the wrong alpha and/or
background color. This can't be fixed easily.
Scrolling back and then entering keyboardselect's copy mode causes
glitched text to appear when moving the cursor. This is because the
keyboardselect patch is not aware of the scrollback history (term.hist),
so it takes the text from the last displayed screen (term.line).

This patch 1) improves reloading X resources - by considering fonts in
a way nearly identical to function `zoomabs`' - and 2) re-renders st so
that changed colors and fonts can be seen.
The openurlonclick and scrollback patches are now working together,
so links can be clicked in the scrollback buffer too. This update also
adds url underlining and other improvements to the openurlonclick patch.
The full list of changes in the openurlonclick patch:
- Adds scrollback support
- Adds modkey option
- Better url detection
- Underlines url when the mouse pointer is over a link
- Opens a browser as a background process, so it won't lock the terminal anymore
- Fixes a segmentation fault bug
There is a compatibility issue between the dwm swallow patch and the
newterm patch for st.
The swallow patch identifies the terminal client to substitute by
traversing the process tree checking if the new window is a descendant
of a terminal client.
The newterm patch for st spawns a new terminal that is a descendant of
the parent st process.
This can lead to situations where the swallow patch ends up replacing
the wrong terminal window.
Changed the forking mechanism to do a double fork and letting the
first one die. This is a technique commonly used by daemons to spawn
new orphan processes.
