====

### Doc
- Fix broken Doxygen output. See @markmandel in #1029.
- Use Doxygen awesome. Add our own theme.
- Break the documentation into several pages.

### Build
- Feature: Support C++20 modules. 
  This requires:
  - Using the Ninja or MSVC generator
  - A recent Clang/GCC/MSVC compiler.
  - Cmake 3.28 or higher.
  Usage:
  ```cpp
  import ftxui;
  import ftxui.component;
  import ftxui.dom;
  import ftxui.screen;
  import ftxui.util;
  ```
  Thanks @mikomikotaishi for PR #1015.

### Component
- Feature: POSIX Piped Input Handling.
  - Allows FTXUI applications to read data from stdin (when piped) while still receiving keyboard input from the terminal.
  - Enabled by default.
  - Can be disabled using `ScreenInteractive::HandlePipedInput(false)`.
  - Only available on Linux and macOS.
  Thanks @HarryPehkonen for PR #1094.
- Fix ScreenInteractive::FixedSize screen stomps on the preceding terminal
  output. Thanks @zozowell in #1064.

  value. Thanks @its-pablo in #1093 for reporting the issue.


6.1.9 (2025-05-07)
------------

### Build
If all goes well (pending), ftxui should appear in the Bazel central repository.
It can be imported into your project using the following lines:

**MODULE.bazel**
```bazel
bazel_dep(name = "ftxui", version = "6.1.9")
```

Thanks @robinlinden and @kcc for the reviews.

### dom
- Bugfix: Restore the `dbox` behavior from ftxui 5.0.0. To apply bgcolor
  blending between the two layers, a new `dboxBlend` will be added.

6.1.8 (2025-05-01)
------------------

### Build
- Feature: Support `bazel` build system. See #1032.
  Proposed by Kostya Serebryany @kcc

  **BUILD.bazel**
  ```bazel
  deps = [
    // Depend on the whole library:
    "@ftxui//:ftxui",

    // Choose a specific submodule:
    "@ftxui//:component",
    "@ftxui//:dom",
    "@ftxui//:screen",
  ]
  ```

### Component

6.0.1 (2025-03-28)
-----

Same as v6.0.0.

Due to a problem tag v6.0.0 was replaced. This isn't a good practice and affect
developers that started using it in the short timeframe. Submitting a new
release with the same content is the best way to fix this.

See #1017 and #1019.

### Features:

#### Screen
- Add the `automerge` to the Pixel bit field. This now controls which pixels are
  automatically merged.

#### DOM:
- Add the `Canvas` class and `ElementFrom('canvas')` function. Together users of
  the library can draw using braille and block characters.
- Support `flexbox` dom elements. This is build symmetrically to the HTML one.
  All the following attributes are supported: direction, wrap, justify-content,

#### Component 
- `Input` shouldn't take focus when hovered by the mouse.
- Modifying `Input`'s during on_enter/on_change event is now working correctly.

  instead of a list of elements.
