version 0.1.0

[patrickisgreene]

We should start thinking about what a version 0.1.0 would look like, so i/we can begin working towards that goal. I think we should list all the desired features/bug fixes for a 0.1.0 version in this issue.

I'll start:

1. A Way to view error messages.

 Currently there is no way for xi-term to communicate something to the user through the UI only through the optional log file. there should be a little widget (I think on the bottom near on top of the command prompt) that can display a message.

2. Horizontal Scrolling

 Currently xi-term ignores everything to the 'right' of the window, we need to track the horizontal position of the cursor to display the correct section of the line cache.

3. Find

  Implement a Find command i think for the first version this should just be simple.

4. Optimize cursor rendering

 The cursor still flashes when changing cursor position rapidly. Hold the 'down arrow' key with a large file open and you'll se what i mean. 'This is mostly just annoying and should be fixed before we start versioning.

Are there any other features anyone would like in a first version? i think this would give us a good solid foundation to move forward from.
