Build 3915 - Improved terminal emulator

[mike]

Hi folks,

The first preview of v1.5.0 brings the long-overdue improvements to the built-in terminal emulator:

• Much improved support for arbitrary-long Unicode symbols, no limits for combining/joining/variation characters, proper layout based on grapheme clusters etc. Now supports zalgo text, complex emoji and other weirdness;
• Improved I/O efficiency - NC no longer spawns a thread per each terminal session;
• Added support for italic text;
• Full support for 8-bits colours;
• Partial support for 24-bit colours - they are recognised and dithered into closest available 8-bit color;
• Improved rendering efficiency.

Also this build contains a fix for the crash that happens when dragging from a temporary panel.

Your feedback is very welcome.

Thanks,
Michael
