This commit makes uses of buffer age extension and recent alacritty_terminal damage tracking to perform partial redraws on platforms supporting `GLX_EXT_buffer_age` and `EGL_EXT_buffer_age`. The alacritty_terminal damage tracking was enhanced in a way that it reports damage only up to `occ`, so partial redraws during scrolling are possible. Fixes alacritty#5843.

If folks on Wayland/X11 could test this it'll help a lot. When testing look for a glitches and if you found them describe what triggers and now they look. For now I'd say that there're some related to clearing in edge cases, since it's not yet optimized. But most things should work and the latency is decreased dramatically. |
