Watch-outs
No watch-outs from GStars' checks.
General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
⚠️ Development Notice: We are currently in the process of releasing Rio 0.3.0, which includes major performance improvements and architectural changes. The main branch is under active development and may be unstable. For stable usage, please use v0.2.20 or below.
If you are using or want to help in any way please consider to donate via Github Sponsors.
Rio would not be possible without Alacritty, since a lot of Rio functionalities (e.g: ANSI parser, events, processor) was originally written (and still uses a good amount) of Alacritty code.
