wtswidth v1.3

Windows Terminal 1.26 introduces a new global compatibility setting. Users can now specify whether characters with ambiguous width occupy one column (narrow) or two columns (wide).
Therefore, a thin configuration layer has been added to the wtswidth library, allowing users to customize measuring, depending on their preferences.

Changes:

• add wtsgetambwidth() and wtssetambwidth() functions to the API
• use int instead of size_t to always make the length a 32-bit value; this simplifies interaction with managed code
• releases for Windows now also contain the compiled library (DLL + LIB files)
• [app syntax] requires the first argument to be either 1 (narrow) or 2 (wide) for the ambiguous character width, before any string is passed to the app

wtswidth v1.1

Changes:

• The tool now accepts several string arguments at once.
• (breaking) The string widths are written as list of numbers of character cells. Previously the return code has been used.
  Reasons:
  • not more than one value can be returned at a time
  • the return value on platforms other than Windows might be limited to 0..255, where the original value is narrowed to its 8 low order bits
• Incorporates the fix for spacing marks in Windows Terminal. (see Give spacing marks space)

wtswidth v1.0

These are builds from the initially committed code.
Pass a string to the utility. The return value is the width of the string as number of columns in the Windows Terminal window. Test scripts are included.
