This document includes a summary of major changes for each revision of Eterm.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes made to rxvt 2.21 include
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
Changes in 0.9:
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Better (read: working) implementation of utmp logging and added security;
|
||||
needs to be tested on different platforms;
|
||||
- Support for Rasterman's Imlib - used for loading and scaling the background
|
||||
pixmaps;
|
||||
- The command line option -pixmap now takes '@' as the delimiter between
|
||||
the pixmap name and geometry. The old delimiter, ';', is NOT supported
|
||||
any more. It was UGLY. Period. <g> ;
|
||||
- A new command line option, --scale or -@, was added. It will scale the background
|
||||
pixmap "to fit"; to fill the whole background of the Eterm window;
|
||||
- The binary was renamed to Eterm;
|
||||
- Several bug/annoyance fixes. For example, fixed a problem with DEBUG_UTMP
|
||||
that printed garbage when running with the debugging messages enabled.
|
||||
See also #define NDEBUG in feature.h;
|
||||
- Minor speedups.
|
||||
You're kidding, right? There have been so many changes here it's not funny.
|
||||
If you really want to know what they all are, you can read the ChangeLog. But
|
||||
I'd settle for this:
|
||||
|
||||
More changes for 0.3 (included in some 0.2 versions), as described by Michael:
|
||||
|
||||
- Installs signal handlers that, among other things, make core
|
||||
dumps secure by revoking privs and changing its umask to 077.
|
||||
It also prompts for whether or not it should dump core, timing
|
||||
out after 10 seconds or if it gets a SIGT(STP|TIN|TOU)
|
||||
- Changes stuff that said rxvt to Eterm (most places, but I probably
|
||||
missed a few).
|
||||
- Fixes SVR4/utmpx compile under HP-UX 10.X
|
||||
|
||||
Utmp logging support was fixed to work on FreeBSD (tested on 2.1.5 and 2.2.2)
|
||||
for 0.3a. Thanks to Brian Gottlieb for doing it.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes made to 0.3b include a few portability additions and fixes (HP-UX,
|
||||
OSF/1) and a few changed (commented out) #define's in feature.h.
|
||||
|
||||
Eterm DR-0.4x included a number of patches for bold fonts, security,
|
||||
utmp logging, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Several bugs were fixed for DR 0.5. Thanks to Michael Kellen for his
|
||||
Solaris patch.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks go to Steve <steve@rage.org> for his help with security.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in DR-0.6:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Finally got the distribution tree cleaned up to remove most all traces
|
||||
of left-over rxvt SPAM(tm). For now, however, credit for most of the
|
||||
docs still remains with the rxvt people.
|
||||
- No more .Xdefaults support. The X Resource Manager (Xrm) code has
|
||||
several known security holes which make any program making
|
||||
XGetDefault() calls insecure. Since Eterm generally runs as root,
|
||||
this is unacceptable. So too is reading .Xdefaults directly, which
|
||||
it had been doing up until now. From DR-0.6 on, it will read (in
|
||||
proper Enlightened fashion) ~/.Eterm/MAIN, which will be a very
|
||||
E-like config file. See doc/MAIN.dist for a sample.
|
||||
- The config files support $ variable expansion, ~ expansion, single/double
|
||||
quotes, and (if #defined) backquotes. PLEASE read the accompanying
|
||||
notes in src/feature.h before #defining ALLOW_BACKQUOTE_EXEC. Also
|
||||
supported is the %include macro.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in DR-0.6a:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Lots of bug fixes:
|
||||
- The font options now accept font names starting with '-'
|
||||
- Intense colors are no longer off by one.
|
||||
- Scrollbar and cursor color configuration options now work properly.
|
||||
- Eterm now changes back to the original directory after searching for
|
||||
a config file.
|
||||
- Command line options now take precedence over config file options
|
||||
- -h and --help now work properly, instead of asking for a string value
|
||||
- MAIN.dist.in now contains a value for cut_chars that works right when
|
||||
ALLOW_BACKQUOTE_EXEC is #defined.
|
||||
- The "video reverse" in MAIN.dist.in is now "video normal", because I
|
||||
got sick of people saying there was a bug in Eterm that caused their
|
||||
foreground and background colors to be swapped. :^) More of a
|
||||
cl00bie-didn't-read-the-comments fix than a bug fix.... ;)
|
||||
|
||||
- New features:
|
||||
- A "magic number"-like identifier that will prevent Enlightenment config
|
||||
files from being read by Eterm. See doc/MAIN.dist for details.
|
||||
- Secure execution of backquote commands in config files, even if Eterm
|
||||
runs setuid/setgid.
|
||||
- Invalid contexts are skipped entirely with only one error message. For
|
||||
example, if you don't compile in kanji support, you'll only get one
|
||||
warning instead of 5 or 6.
|
||||
- -H and --home-on-echo options, which will cause Eterm to jump to the
|
||||
bottom of the screen when something is echoed there, if you're viewing
|
||||
the scrollback buffer. There is also a new attribute "home_on_echo" in
|
||||
the toggles context of the config file for this option. Thanks to Casey
|
||||
<casey@netcomi.com> for his help with this. Just in time, Casey. :)
|
||||
- There is now a script which randomly chooses a pixmap from ~/.Eterm/pix
|
||||
that can be executed in your config file. This script requires the
|
||||
dorand program (source provided) and can be found in doc/random_pixmap.sh
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in DR-0.7:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Theme support. The options were changed to -t and --theme. Consult the FAQ for
|
||||
more info on themes.
|
||||
- Alternate config file option. This has been integrated into theme support, but
|
||||
can also work independently thereof. If you don't like the name MAIN for your
|
||||
config file, or want to run a certain Eterm with a different config file, use
|
||||
the -X or --config-file option.
|
||||
- Borderless Eterm windows. Use the -x or --borderless option to get a borderless
|
||||
Eterm. Remember, you'll want to specify a geometry, since you won't be able to
|
||||
move it, and something to exec. If your window manager supports it, it is
|
||||
recommended that you use that functionality rather than Eterm's built-in option.
|
||||
- Built-in functions. Several functions have been added to facilitate the building
|
||||
of more robust config files. The currently-supported functions are:
|
||||
- %appname() Returns the current application name. "Eterm-DR-0.7" as of
|
||||
Eterm 0.7.
|
||||
- %version() Returns the numeric version.
|
||||
- %random(...) Randomly chooses one of its parameters and returns that.
|
||||
- Other new options (consult the MAIN file and the --help screen for more info):
|
||||
- -E and --home-on-refresh
|
||||
- --pointer-color
|
||||
- --scrollbar-right
|
||||
- --scrollbar-floating
|
||||
- -M and --menu (Menubar code is beta, so use it at your own risk)
|
||||
- --term-name
|
||||
- Config file support for all the above. Also:
|
||||
- exec (context misc) For use with themes....
|
||||
- Some major and minor bug fixes. Nobody noticed, so I won't go into details. :)
|
||||
- Support for Window Maker's "docking", thanks to CmdrTaco (Rob Malda)
|
||||
(http://slashdot.org/malda/)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in DR-0.8:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Several experimental features are in, like active tags, fake transparency,
|
||||
and threads support. Use them at your own risk; they are unsupported and
|
||||
known not to work right. We chose not to fix them since we're going to
|
||||
rewrite the whole thing anyway (see http://ganja.tky.hut.fi/resurrection/)
|
||||
- The FORCE_BACKSPACE feature introduce in 0.7 PL5 has been disabled for now;
|
||||
you can't succesfully start Eterm as a background process with it
|
||||
- The new fake transparency option, -O/trans, only works OK with a pixmap
|
||||
the size of your root window / resolution. Test it with an exact image
|
||||
of your root window for a neat effect :) Note that escape sequences for
|
||||
changing the background pixmap will be ignored.
|
||||
- Two new config file options, "trans" and "save_under", have been added.
|
||||
Read themes/Eterm/MAIN for more information. The corresponding new
|
||||
command line options are -O and --save-under.
|
||||
- Fixed the pixmap handling code so that the menubar stuff works right now.
|
||||
Thanks to Cliff Wright <cliff@vixen.itdl.ds.boeing.com> and keebler
|
||||
<keebler@ncal.verio.com> for their help with finding and fixing this.
|
||||
- The Xterm-style scrollbar feature (defined in src/feature.h) will actually
|
||||
compile and run properly. The restriction on size to 15 pixels has
|
||||
been removed as well. Thanks to Peter Norby <norby@inktomi.com> and
|
||||
Hal Black <hal@hablack.bevc.blacksburg.va.us> for supplying patches for
|
||||
this.
|
||||
- Made several changes to the configure script so that hopefully it will
|
||||
work for a larger percentage of the populace. :-) Some of the changes
|
||||
were suggested by John Reese <jtr@pyro.ugcs.caltech.edu> and Hal Black
|
||||
<hal@hablack.bevc.blacksburg.va.us>.
|
||||
- Added MIN_ANCHOR_SIZE to src/feature.h which allows you to specify a minimum
|
||||
size for the scrollbar anchor. Good for large scrollback buffers and/or
|
||||
small windows. Still a mite flaky at the bottom of the scrollbar, but it
|
||||
works. Credit for the idea goes to Stephen Farrell <stephen@farrell.org>,
|
||||
though the actual code was largely rewritten.
|
||||
- Added CHANGE_SCROLLCOLOR_ON_FOCUS to src/feature.h which makes the
|
||||
scrollbar "disappear" (i.e., become the background color) when the window
|
||||
loses focus. This feature was suggested by Scott Heavner
|
||||
<sdh@falstaff.MAE.cwru.edu>.
|
||||
- Added option --menu-text-color and config file attribute menu_text,
|
||||
which allow you to change the color of the menubar text. This feature
|
||||
was suggested by Scott Heavner <sdh@falstaff.MAE.cwru.edu>.
|
||||
- Fixed a bug for FreeBSD that only allowed Eterm to open 16 tty's at
|
||||
once. Thanks to Christopher Mann <r3cgm@cdrom.com> for finding this
|
||||
one.
|
||||
- PL1
|
||||
- Fixed bug which caused scrollbar not to redraw properly
|
||||
- PL2
|
||||
- Rewrote the string functions in src/misc.c to be faster. Also, support
|
||||
for "\C" and "C-" to represent the Ctrl-key modifier was added.
|
||||
- Added MENU_TEXT_FLOATING to src/feature.h which puts the menubar text
|
||||
in the middle of the menubar buttons (which is, IMHO, where it belongs,
|
||||
but apparently someone disagrees :-) -- mej).
|
||||
- The pre-release stuff in RELNOTES.Eterm has been removed.
|
||||
- Added an "emacs" theme for GNU Emacs or XEmacs in a text window.
|
||||
- Got rid of that damned annoying preedit type error. :-)
|
||||
- Added call counting for the malloc routines in libmej/mem.* thanks to
|
||||
Michael Wolf (Elessar) <mawolf@concentric.net>.
|
||||
- PL3
|
||||
- Changed themes/Makefile.in so that existing themes in
|
||||
${prefix}/lib/Eterm/themes do not get overwritten by the "make install"
|
||||
routine. Sorry, stupid oversight on my part. :( -- mej
|
||||
- New "chooser" theme. Read the comments at the top of
|
||||
themes/chooser/chooser.menu for more details. :)
|
||||
- New extended command "echo" in the ESC ] 10 ; set. See the chooser
|
||||
theme for implementation examples. Basically, it echoes its parameters
|
||||
and tacks a carriage return on the end.
|
||||
- Fixed the bug introduced in PL2 which caused a border width < the shadow
|
||||
width to not properly display the menubar. This was only noticeable in
|
||||
the mutt theme or to users who specifically set border_width to 0 or 1.
|
||||
- Eterm now sets the environment variable ETERM_THEME_ROOT to point to the
|
||||
root directory of the theme it is currently using.
|
||||
- PL4
|
||||
- Made several portability improvements in the configure script and its
|
||||
associated files.
|
||||
- Moved the active.tags file into the themes directory, which is the
|
||||
location from which it is installed.
|
||||
- The configure script now builds src/feature.h instead of the make process
|
||||
so that it will be there before the make is done. If src/feature.h.in is
|
||||
updated, however, src/feature.h will still be generated from it by a make.
|
||||
- The installed Eterm binary will be Eterm-<version_number>, and Eterm will
|
||||
be created as a soft-link to that file in the $bindir directory.
|
||||
- Eterm will now guess the install prefix (${prefix}) based on where gcc is
|
||||
located, unless you give a --prefix on the command line. This keeps me
|
||||
from having to use it. If it makes you have to use it, tough break. =P
|
||||
- Added the --with-imlib option to configure. If you specify
|
||||
--with-imlib=/some/path, the compiler will look in /some/path/include
|
||||
for Imlib's header files and in /some/path/lib for Imlib itself. You can
|
||||
also specify --without-imlib, which will disable pixmap support entirely.
|
||||
- PL5
|
||||
- Fixed the problem with the Eterm -> Pixmap -> None menu item.
|
||||
- IMPORTANT NOTE: One of the src/feature.h defines added in version 0.8 was
|
||||
the MIN_ANCHOR_SIZE #define. There are KNOWN PROBLEMS with using this feature
|
||||
and trying to scroll up from the bottom using Shift-Prior, the up arrow on the
|
||||
scrollbar, etc. If this bothers you, COMMENT OUT that line in src/feature.h.
|
||||
Fixing this problem will require a redesign of how Eterm looks at scrolling
|
||||
and positioning the terminal window relative to the scrollbar and vice versa.
|
||||
This may or may not happen in the current development cycle.
|
||||
- Added the CTRL_CLICK_RAISE #define to src/feature.h which allows a mouse
|
||||
click in the terminal window while holding the Ctrl key to raise the window
|
||||
and steal keyboard focus. This is useful if you are stuck without a window
|
||||
manager for one reason or another or for using Eterm as an X session manager.
|
||||
- Also added an escape sequence, ESC ] 5 ; BEL, to perform the same task, and
|
||||
added a menu item called "Steal Focus" to send that escape sequence.
|
||||
- Fixed the "bug" that made command-line paths relative to the current theme
|
||||
as well as paths in theme config files. Searching relative to the current
|
||||
directory takes place after searching the directories in the "path" line
|
||||
(from the config file). (I have "bug" in quotes because it wasn't really
|
||||
a bug -- all paths were interpreted relative to the theme used -- but it
|
||||
applied to command-line variables too, which was very confusing to some.)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in 0.8.6:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- For starters, we changed the naming convention. No more "DR" and "PL" stuff.
|
||||
We got asked too many stupid questions. ("What's the P 15 mean?") Starting
|
||||
with this release, we'll be using numbers only. The third number will still
|
||||
indicate the patch level, however.
|
||||
- Added support for imlib-config script supplied with Imlib 1.8 and up. This
|
||||
speeds and simplifies the calculation of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for proper
|
||||
linking with Imlib.
|
||||
- Fixed problems with compilation on NetBSD thanks to Clifford Wright
|
||||
<cliff@snipe444.org>.
|
||||
- Redid the themes to support the new pixmap mechanism I'm working on. Once
|
||||
the new pixmap archive comes out, you'll want to remove your themes
|
||||
directory ($prefix/lib/Eterm/themes by default) and install the themes
|
||||
contained in this distribution. Get the new Eterm Backgrounds Collection
|
||||
at http://www.tcserv.com/archive/E/ or a mirror near you.
|
||||
- Reworked the transparency mechanism thanks to Gerald Britton
|
||||
<gbritton@mit.edu> and Nat Friedman <ndf@mit.edu>. It now takes a copy
|
||||
of the root window's pixmap and uses that. It responds to all moves and
|
||||
resizes by updating the pixmap. No requests for changing pixmap are
|
||||
honored by a transparent Eterm (the -O or --trans options). Furthermore,
|
||||
this will probably only work in Enlightenment. And for the full effect,
|
||||
you'll want to run it without scrollbar/menubar and borderless (the
|
||||
latter being done either through Enlightenment or with the -x option).
|
||||
- Added the Esetroot program, which sets the root pixmap atom for those
|
||||
who don't use Enlightenment as their window manager. There has been
|
||||
mixed feedback on whether or not this program works. YMMV.
|
||||
- Added a theme to demo some of the pseudo-transparency features. Use
|
||||
"Eterm -t trans" to invoke it.
|
||||
- Some pseudo-transparency toys are in too. The option --shade will darken
|
||||
the portion of the desktop "showing through" the Eterm window. Results
|
||||
in a "smoked glass" effect. This option can also be used with the
|
||||
--tint option to provide a colored glass effect. See the man page for
|
||||
more information. Also be sure to check out the effect of the
|
||||
--scrollbar-floating option with transparency. :)
|
||||
- Fixed compilation without pixmap and/or menubar support. The options
|
||||
--disable-menus and --without-imlib can, when passed to the configure
|
||||
script, be used to automatically disable menubar and pixmap support,
|
||||
respectively.
|
||||
- NEW MAN PAGE!! At long last, the man page has been updated with the new
|
||||
options. Many thanks to Shaleh <shaleh@debian.org> for doing this.
|
||||
- The values "yes" and "no" can now be used as boolean values in options
|
||||
and config file entries, along with 0/1, true/false, and on/off.
|
||||
- Eterm now changes the color of the scrollbar when losing focus. If no
|
||||
unfocused scrollbar color is specified in the config file or on the
|
||||
command line, you will not notice it. See the man page and the default
|
||||
config files for more info.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in 0.8.7:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The old libmej is now built as a shared library as well as a static one.
|
||||
Also, everything but the main() function has been moved into a library,
|
||||
libEterm. Since most people use lots of Eterms at once, creating a shared
|
||||
library will reduce the text segment of each Eterm significantly, saving
|
||||
quite a bit of memory per Eterm.
|
||||
- Removed MIN_ANCHOR_SIZE and added -a (--min-anchor-size) option. It is 0 by
|
||||
default so ppl won't complain about the scroll-up "bug".
|
||||
- Lots of fixes to Esetroot
|
||||
- CygWin32 support. May take a little bit of effort, but it works.
|
||||
- Escape sequences to toggle transparency and shading, as well as set tint,
|
||||
are in. Toggling transparency works. The others don't yet.
|
||||
- Newer Linux versions required a hack to open the display.
|
||||
- Cleaned up privileges toggling.
|
||||
- Changed the --watch-bg option to --watch-pixmap, which will hopefully make it
|
||||
less tempting for people to think it has something to do with transparency.
|
||||
- Added the --watch-desktop option which causes a pseudo-transparent Eterm to
|
||||
monitor the desktop pixmap for changes and update accordingly.
|
||||
- Several various parser cleanups.
|
||||
- Transparency can now be done via Imlib rather than Xlib. It is markedly slower
|
||||
but offers more configureability, like shading by percentage (--shade-pct) and
|
||||
tinting masks (--tint <24-bit mask>).
|
||||
- Shading now works for 8bpp pseudo-color displays. This formerly generated an
|
||||
error message about the X server not setting the visual info properly. It is
|
||||
not fast by any means, but that's what you get for having an 8bpp video card.
|
||||
- Fixed the menubar code so that the menus aren't clipped by the window or screen
|
||||
edge.
|
||||
- Changed the shell_expand() function in options.c so that \' within single quotes
|
||||
would insert a single quote. This differs from the shell behavior, but I prefer
|
||||
it. :)
|
||||
- More *BSD utmp fixes.
|
||||
- Added debugging features configureable at configure-time. Also added stack
|
||||
tracing on crash.
|
||||
- Fixed the bug with dragging a transparent Eterm across E's desktop dragbar. It
|
||||
reparents to the root window for a bit, but once you drop the window, it changes
|
||||
backdrops right on cue. Also works when moving Eterm windows between desktops.
|
||||
Note that this requires the use of the -W (--watch-desktop) option.
|
||||
- \e[9n prints the pixmap filename in the title bar. In transparency mode, prints
|
||||
transparency info to the title bar.
|
||||
- New --home-on-input option which split off part of --home-on-echo
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in 0.8.8:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Better, more detailed man page. Now if only people would read it....
|
||||
- Shading is now done by percentage, and tinting by hex mask. See the man page for
|
||||
more info.
|
||||
- Lots of new options: --menubar-move, --anim, --pause, --viewport-mode,
|
||||
--xterm-select, and --select-line. See man page for details.
|
||||
- FORCE_BACKSPACE and FORCE_DELETE have been fixed.
|
||||
- KS_DELETE (the strings associated with pressing the Delete key) is now set to ^?
|
||||
by default. If you don't like that, you can set it back, or use the keysym
|
||||
attribute in the config file, or whatever.
|
||||
- --with-cc=prog argument to ./configure to specify an alternative compiler. The
|
||||
default looks for egcs, then pgcc, then gcc, etc.
|
||||
- Eterm-specific escape sequences:
|
||||
Syntax: ESC ] 6 ; <op> ; <arg> BEL
|
||||
|
||||
where <op> is: 0 toggle transparency
|
||||
1 set shade percentage
|
||||
2 set tint mask
|
||||
3 forced update of pseudo-transparent background
|
||||
30 Do not use
|
||||
40 Do not use
|
||||
and <arg> is an optional argument, depending
|
||||
on the particular sequence being used. It
|
||||
(along with its preceeding semicolon) may or
|
||||
may not be needed.
|
||||
- X errors are handled more gracefully and with more helpful information.
|
||||
- The --disable-stack-trace option to ./configure, whose use is obvious.
|
||||
- Added an icon and associated option/attribute.
|
||||
- As always, lots of bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
|
||||
- The -center option for Esetroot. Centers the pixmap.
|
||||
- Eterm is now FHS compliant, meaning that the theme and image directories are
|
||||
now under ${prefix}/share/Eterm instead of ${prefix}/lib/Eterm. See the
|
||||
move-themes script included in the distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in 0.8.9:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Support for scrolling with mouse wheels.
|
||||
- New --version switch to display compile-time configuration.
|
||||
- Tinting and shading have been sped up by about 30% thanks to Michael Pearson
|
||||
<alcaron@ozemail.com.au>.
|
||||
- Scrollbar type and width is now customizeable at compile-time *and* run-time.
|
||||
Support for NeXT-style scrollbars has also been added.
|
||||
- Three *major* bugs have been fixed. Tiled desktop images no longer cause
|
||||
crashes when tinting or shading. The resize crash bug has also been squished.
|
||||
The secure system() call replacement which was accidentally removed has been
|
||||
added back.
|
||||
- Ctrl-Button1 now grabs input focus. Ctrl-Button2 toggles the scrollbar on and
|
||||
off. Ctrl-Button3 toggles the menubar on and off. NOTE: If you used to
|
||||
disable the menubar by commenting out the loading of the menubar file, or
|
||||
loading a fake one (e.g., '-Mx' or '-M /dev/null'), don't. Simply add "off" to
|
||||
the end of the menu line (e.g., 'menu Eterm.menu off'), or use the new boolean
|
||||
command-line option --menubar (e.g., '--menubar off'). Then you can toggle the
|
||||
menubar using Ctrl-Button3 like you would expect.
|
||||
- Popup scrollbar support has been added.
|
||||
- New -D (--desktop) option for choosing a desktop to start on. Your window
|
||||
manager must be GNOME-compliant for this to work. See the documentation at
|
||||
http://www.gnome.org/devel/gnomewm/ for info on the _WIN_WORKSPACE property.
|
||||
- The Eterm Technical Reference has been completely rewritten. It is now an HTML
|
||||
document located in the doc/ directory.
|
||||
- Lots and lots and lots of new escape sequences. See the Technical Reference for
|
||||
details on them.
|
||||
- Oodles of small bug fixes, as always. :-)
|
||||
- Debugging output is now runtime configurable. Use the --debug option and supply
|
||||
a number. 0 (the default) gives no debugging output. 1-5 give increasingly
|
||||
more output, up to 5 (which I don't recommend using) which synchronizes X events
|
||||
(and slows things down bigtime).
|
||||
- You can now save your current Eterm settings from the menu.
|
||||
- New --app-keypad and --app-cursor options to set the startup mode for
|
||||
application/normal mode for the keypad and cursor keys.
|
||||
- Three new utilities in addition to Esetroot, all of which are located in the
|
||||
utils/ directory. Etbg is a tool for manipulating Eterm's background image on
|
||||
the fly. Etcolors.sh demonstrates all the different combinations of your
|
||||
current color settings. Etmenu.sh lets you send menu commands to Eterm's
|
||||
menubar subsystem without having to type the escape codes yourself.
|
||||
- Borderless Eterms now attempt to use the Window Manager to become borderless
|
||||
instead of bypassing it altogether.
|
||||
- All new theme format.
|
||||
- 3-state image support.
|
||||
- Pixmapped scrollbars and popup menus.
|
||||
- Action bindings.
|
||||
- IPC interface to Eterm and Enlightenment.
|
||||
- Auto mode for automatic syncing with Enlightenment themes.
|
||||
|
||||
Eterm 0.9 is the beginning of a new development tree. There will be lots and
|
||||
lots of drastic changes as this thing grows and develops, so if you're afraid of
|
||||
the occasional bug, stick to 0.8.10 for awhile. A release of the 0.9 tree
|
||||
signifies a point at which it works for almost everyone and is quite solid and
|
||||
stable for me. That doesn't necessarily mean that you won't run into the
|
||||
occasional snag, though, and any fixes made to the 0.9 tree would go into CVS,
|
||||
not a new release. But I think you'll find the new features are worth it. :-)

Release Notes
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
This document includes a summary of major changes for each revision of Eterm.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes made to rxvt 2.21 include
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Better (read: working) implementation of utmp logging and added security;
|
||||
needs to be tested on different platforms;
|
||||
- Support for Rasterman's Imlib - used for loading and scaling the background
|
||||
pixmaps;
|
||||
- The command line option -pixmap now takes '@' as the delimiter between
|
||||
the pixmap name and geometry. The old delimiter, ';', is NOT supported
|
||||
any more. It was UGLY. Period. <g> ;
|
||||
- A new command line option, --scale or -@, was added. It will scale the background
|
||||
pixmap "to fit"; to fill the whole background of the Eterm window;
|
||||
- The binary was renamed to Eterm;
|
||||
- Several bug/annoyance fixes. For example, fixed a problem with DEBUG_UTMP
|
||||
that printed garbage when running with the debugging messages enabled.
|
||||
See also #define NDEBUG in feature.h;
|
||||
- Minor speedups.
|
||||
|
||||
More changes for 0.3 (included in some 0.2 versions), as described by Michael:
|
||||
|
||||
- Installs signal handlers that, among other things, make core
|
||||
dumps secure by revoking privs and changing its umask to 077.
|
||||
It also prompts for whether or not it should dump core, timing
|
||||
out after 10 seconds or if it gets a SIGT(STP|TIN|TOU)
|
||||
- Changes stuff that said rxvt to Eterm (most places, but I probably
|
||||
missed a few).
|
||||
- Fixes SVR4/utmpx compile under HP-UX 10.X
|
||||
|
||||
Utmp logging support was fixed to work on FreeBSD (tested on 2.1.5 and 2.2.2)
|
||||
for 0.3a. Thanks to Brian Gottlieb for doing it.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes made to 0.3b include a few portability additions and fixes (HP-UX,
|
||||
OSF/1) and a few changed (commented out) #define's in feature.h.
|
||||
|
||||
Eterm DR-0.4x included a number of patches for bold fonts, security,
|
||||
utmp logging, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Several bugs were fixed for DR 0.5. Thanks to Michael Kellen for his
|
||||
Solaris patch.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks go to Steve <steve@rage.org> for his help with security.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in DR-0.6:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Finally got the distribution tree cleaned up to remove most all traces
|
||||
of left-over rxvt SPAM(tm). For now, however, credit for most of the
|
||||
docs still remains with the rxvt people.
|
||||
- No more .Xdefaults support. The X Resource Manager (Xrm) code has
|
||||
several known security holes which make any program making
|
||||
XGetDefault() calls insecure. Since Eterm generally runs as root,
|
||||
this is unacceptable. So too is reading .Xdefaults directly, which
|
||||
it had been doing up until now. From DR-0.6 on, it will read (in
|
||||
proper Enlightened fashion) ~/.Eterm/MAIN, which will be a very
|
||||
E-like config file. See doc/MAIN.dist for a sample.
|
||||
- The config files support $ variable expansion, ~ expansion, single/double
|
||||
quotes, and (if #defined) backquotes. PLEASE read the accompanying
|
||||
notes in src/feature.h before #defining ALLOW_BACKQUOTE_EXEC. Also
|
||||
supported is the %include macro.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in DR-0.6a:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Lots of bug fixes:
|
||||
- The font options now accept font names starting with '-'
|
||||
- Intense colors are no longer off by one.
|
||||
- Scrollbar and cursor color configuration options now work properly.
|
||||
- Eterm now changes back to the original directory after searching for
|
||||
a config file.
|
||||
- Command line options now take precedence over config file options
|
||||
- -h and --help now work properly, instead of asking for a string value
|
||||
- MAIN.dist.in now contains a value for cut_chars that works right when
|
||||
ALLOW_BACKQUOTE_EXEC is #defined.
|
||||
- The "video reverse" in MAIN.dist.in is now "video normal", because I
|
||||
got sick of people saying there was a bug in Eterm that caused their
|
||||
foreground and background colors to be swapped. :^) More of a
|
||||
cl00bie-didn't-read-the-comments fix than a bug fix.... ;)
|
||||
|
||||
- New features:
|
||||
- A "magic number"-like identifier that will prevent Enlightenment config
|
||||
files from being read by Eterm. See doc/MAIN.dist for details.
|
||||
- Secure execution of backquote commands in config files, even if Eterm
|
||||
runs setuid/setgid.
|
||||
- Invalid contexts are skipped entirely with only one error message. For
|
||||
example, if you don't compile in kanji support, you'll only get one
|
||||
warning instead of 5 or 6.
|
||||
- -H and --home-on-echo options, which will cause Eterm to jump to the
|
||||
bottom of the screen when something is echoed there, if you're viewing
|
||||
the scrollback buffer. There is also a new attribute "home_on_echo" in
|
||||
the toggles context of the config file for this option. Thanks to Casey
|
||||
<casey@netcomi.com> for his help with this. Just in time, Casey. :)
|
||||
- There is now a script which randomly chooses a pixmap from ~/.Eterm/pix
|
||||
that can be executed in your config file. This script requires the
|
||||
dorand program (source provided) and can be found in doc/random_pixmap.sh
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in DR-0.7:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Theme support. The options were changed to -t and --theme. Consult the FAQ for
|
||||
more info on themes.
|
||||
- Alternate config file option. This has been integrated into theme support, but
|
||||
can also work independently thereof. If you don't like the name MAIN for your
|
||||
config file, or want to run a certain Eterm with a different config file, use
|
||||
the -X or --config-file option.
|
||||
- Borderless Eterm windows. Use the -x or --borderless option to get a borderless
|
||||
Eterm. Remember, you'll want to specify a geometry, since you won't be able to
|
||||
move it, and something to exec. If your window manager supports it, it is
|
||||
recommended that you use that functionality rather than Eterm's built-in option.
|
||||
- Built-in functions. Several functions have been added to facilitate the building
|
||||
of more robust config files. The currently-supported functions are:
|
||||
- %appname() Returns the current application name. "Eterm-DR-0.7" as of
|
||||
Eterm 0.7.
|
||||
- %version() Returns the numeric version.
|
||||
- %random(...) Randomly chooses one of its parameters and returns that.
|
||||
- Other new options (consult the MAIN file and the --help screen for more info):
|
||||
- -E and --home-on-refresh
|
||||
- --pointer-color
|
||||
- --scrollbar-right
|
||||
- --scrollbar-floating
|
||||
- -M and --menu (Menubar code is beta, so use it at your own risk)
|
||||
- --term-name
|
||||
- Config file support for all the above. Also:
|
||||
- exec (context misc) For use with themes....
|
||||
- Some major and minor bug fixes. Nobody noticed, so I won't go into details. :)
|
||||
- Support for Window Maker's "docking", thanks to CmdrTaco (Rob Malda)
|
||||
(http://slashdot.org/malda/)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in DR-0.8:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Several experimental features are in, like active tags, fake transparency,
|
||||
and threads support. Use them at your own risk; they are unsupported and
|
||||
known not to work right. We chose not to fix them since we're going to
|
||||
rewrite the whole thing anyway (see http://ganja.tky.hut.fi/resurrection/)
|
||||
- The FORCE_BACKSPACE feature introduce in 0.7 PL5 has been disabled for now;
|
||||
you can't succesfully start Eterm as a background process with it
|
||||
- The new fake transparency option, -O/trans, only works OK with a pixmap
|
||||
the size of your root window / resolution. Test it with an exact image
|
||||
of your root window for a neat effect :) Note that escape sequences for
|
||||
changing the background pixmap will be ignored.
|
||||
- Two new config file options, "trans" and "save_under", have been added.
|
||||
Read themes/Eterm/MAIN for more information. The corresponding new
|
||||
command line options are -O and --save-under.
|
||||
- Fixed the pixmap handling code so that the menubar stuff works right now.
|
||||
Thanks to Cliff Wright <cliff@vixen.itdl.ds.boeing.com> and keebler
|
||||
<keebler@ncal.verio.com> for their help with finding and fixing this.
|
||||
- The Xterm-style scrollbar feature (defined in src/feature.h) will actually
|
||||
compile and run properly. The restriction on size to 15 pixels has
|
||||
been removed as well. Thanks to Peter Norby <norby@inktomi.com> and
|
||||
Hal Black <hal@hablack.bevc.blacksburg.va.us> for supplying patches for
|
||||
this.
|
||||
- Made several changes to the configure script so that hopefully it will
|
||||
work for a larger percentage of the populace. :-) Some of the changes
|
||||
were suggested by John Reese <jtr@pyro.ugcs.caltech.edu> and Hal Black
|
||||
<hal@hablack.bevc.blacksburg.va.us>.
|
||||
- Added MIN_ANCHOR_SIZE to src/feature.h which allows you to specify a minimum
|
||||
size for the scrollbar anchor. Good for large scrollback buffers and/or
|
||||
small windows. Still a mite flaky at the bottom of the scrollbar, but it
|
||||
works. Credit for the idea goes to Stephen Farrell <stephen@farrell.org>,
|
||||
though the actual code was largely rewritten.
|
||||
- Added CHANGE_SCROLLCOLOR_ON_FOCUS to src/feature.h which makes the
|
||||
scrollbar "disappear" (i.e., become the background color) when the window
|
||||
loses focus. This feature was suggested by Scott Heavner
|
||||
<sdh@falstaff.MAE.cwru.edu>.
|
||||
- Added option --menu-text-color and config file attribute menu_text,
|
||||
which allow you to change the color of the menubar text. This feature
|
||||
was suggested by Scott Heavner <sdh@falstaff.MAE.cwru.edu>.
|
||||
- Fixed a bug for FreeBSD that only allowed Eterm to open 16 tty's at
|
||||
once. Thanks to Christopher Mann <r3cgm@cdrom.com> for finding this
|
||||
one.
|
||||
- PL1
|
||||
- Fixed bug which caused scrollbar not to redraw properly
|
||||
- PL2
|
||||
- Rewrote the string functions in src/misc.c to be faster. Also, support
|
||||
for "\C" and "C-" to represent the Ctrl-key modifier was added.
|
||||
- Added MENU_TEXT_FLOATING to src/feature.h which puts the menubar text
|
||||
in the middle of the menubar buttons (which is, IMHO, where it belongs,
|
||||
but apparently someone disagrees :-) -- mej).
|
||||
- The pre-release stuff in RELNOTES.Eterm has been removed.
|
||||
- Added an "emacs" theme for GNU Emacs or XEmacs in a text window.
|
||||
- Got rid of that damned annoying preedit type error. :-)
|
||||
- Added call counting for the malloc routines in libmej/mem.* thanks to
|
||||
Michael Wolf (Elessar) <mawolf@concentric.net>.
|
||||
- PL3
|
||||
- Changed themes/Makefile.in so that existing themes in
|
||||
${prefix}/lib/Eterm/themes do not get overwritten by the "make install"
|
||||
routine. Sorry, stupid oversight on my part. :( -- mej
|
||||
- New "chooser" theme. Read the comments at the top of
|
||||
themes/chooser/chooser.menu for more details. :)
|
||||
- New extended command "echo" in the ESC ] 10 ; set. See the chooser
|
||||
theme for implementation examples. Basically, it echoes its parameters
|
||||
and tacks a carriage return on the end.
|
||||
- Fixed the bug introduced in PL2 which caused a border width < the shadow
|
||||
width to not properly display the menubar. This was only noticeable in
|
||||
the mutt theme or to users who specifically set border_width to 0 or 1.
|
||||
- Eterm now sets the environment variable ETERM_THEME_ROOT to point to the
|
||||
root directory of the theme it is currently using.
|
||||
- PL4
|
||||
- Made several portability improvements in the configure script and its
|
||||
associated files.
|
||||
- Moved the active.tags file into the themes directory, which is the
|
||||
location from which it is installed.
|
||||
- The configure script now builds src/feature.h instead of the make process
|
||||
so that it will be there before the make is done. If src/feature.h.in is
|
||||
updated, however, src/feature.h will still be generated from it by a make.
|
||||
- The installed Eterm binary will be Eterm-<version_number>, and Eterm will
|
||||
be created as a soft-link to that file in the $bindir directory.
|
||||
- Eterm will now guess the install prefix (${prefix}) based on where gcc is
|
||||
located, unless you give a --prefix on the command line. This keeps me
|
||||
from having to use it. If it makes you have to use it, tough break. =P
|
||||
- Added the --with-imlib option to configure. If you specify
|
||||
--with-imlib=/some/path, the compiler will look in /some/path/include
|
||||
for Imlib's header files and in /some/path/lib for Imlib itself. You can
|
||||
also specify --without-imlib, which will disable pixmap support entirely.
|
||||
- PL5
|
||||
- Fixed the problem with the Eterm -> Pixmap -> None menu item.
|
||||
- IMPORTANT NOTE: One of the src/feature.h defines added in version 0.8 was
|
||||
the MIN_ANCHOR_SIZE #define. There are KNOWN PROBLEMS with using this feature
|
||||
and trying to scroll up from the bottom using Shift-Prior, the up arrow on the
|
||||
scrollbar, etc. If this bothers you, COMMENT OUT that line in src/feature.h.
|
||||
Fixing this problem will require a redesign of how Eterm looks at scrolling
|
||||
and positioning the terminal window relative to the scrollbar and vice versa.
|
||||
This may or may not happen in the current development cycle.
|
||||
- Added the CTRL_CLICK_RAISE #define to src/feature.h which allows a mouse
|
||||
click in the terminal window while holding the Ctrl key to raise the window
|
||||
and steal keyboard focus. This is useful if you are stuck without a window
|
||||
manager for one reason or another or for using Eterm as an X session manager.
|
||||
- Also added an escape sequence, ESC ] 5 ; BEL, to perform the same task, and
|
||||
added a menu item called "Steal Focus" to send that escape sequence.
|
||||
- Fixed the "bug" that made command-line paths relative to the current theme
|
||||
as well as paths in theme config files. Searching relative to the current
|
||||
directory takes place after searching the directories in the "path" line
|
||||
(from the config file). (I have "bug" in quotes because it wasn't really
|
||||
a bug -- all paths were interpreted relative to the theme used -- but it
|
||||
applied to command-line variables too, which was very confusing to some.)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in 0.8.6:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- For starters, we changed the naming convention. No more "DR" and "PL" stuff.
|
||||
We got asked too many stupid questions. ("What's the P 15 mean?") Starting
|
||||
with this release, we'll be using numbers only. The third number will still
|
||||
indicate the patch level, however.
|
||||
- Added support for imlib-config script supplied with Imlib 1.8 and up. This
|
||||
speeds and simplifies the calculation of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for proper
|
||||
linking with Imlib.
|
||||
- Fixed problems with compilation on NetBSD thanks to Clifford Wright
|
||||
<cliff@snipe444.org>.
|
||||
- Redid the themes to support the new pixmap mechanism I'm working on. Once
|
||||
the new pixmap archive comes out, you'll want to remove your themes
|
||||
directory ($prefix/lib/Eterm/themes by default) and install the themes
|
||||
contained in this distribution. Get the new Eterm Backgrounds Collection
|
||||
at http://www.tcserv.com/archive/E/ or a mirror near you.
|
||||
- Reworked the transparency mechanism thanks to Gerald Britton
|
||||
<gbritton@mit.edu> and Nat Friedman <ndf@mit.edu>. It now takes a copy
|
||||
of the root window's pixmap and uses that. It responds to all moves and
|
||||
resizes by updating the pixmap. No requests for changing pixmap are
|
||||
honored by a transparent Eterm (the -O or --trans options). Furthermore,
|
||||
this will probably only work in Enlightenment. And for the full effect,
|
||||
you'll want to run it without scrollbar/menubar and borderless (the
|
||||
latter being done either through Enlightenment or with the -x option).
|
||||
- Added the Esetroot program, which sets the root pixmap atom for those
|
||||
who don't use Enlightenment as their window manager. There has been
|
||||
mixed feedback on whether or not this program works. YMMV.
|
||||
- Added a theme to demo some of the pseudo-transparency features. Use
|
||||
"Eterm -t trans" to invoke it.
|
||||
- Some pseudo-transparency toys are in too. The option --shade will darken
|
||||
the portion of the desktop "showing through" the Eterm window. Results
|
||||
in a "smoked glass" effect. This option can also be used with the
|
||||
--tint option to provide a colored glass effect. See the man page for
|
||||
more information. Also be sure to check out the effect of the
|
||||
--scrollbar-floating option with transparency. :)
|
||||
- Fixed compilation without pixmap and/or menubar support. The options
|
||||
--disable-menus and --without-imlib can, when passed to the configure
|
||||
script, be used to automatically disable menubar and pixmap support,
|
||||
respectively.
|
||||
- NEW MAN PAGE!! At long last, the man page has been updated with the new
|
||||
options. Many thanks to Shaleh <shaleh@debian.org> for doing this.
|
||||
- The values "yes" and "no" can now be used as boolean values in options
|
||||
and config file entries, along with 0/1, true/false, and on/off.
|
||||
- Eterm now changes the color of the scrollbar when losing focus. If no
|
||||
unfocused scrollbar color is specified in the config file or on the
|
||||
command line, you will not notice it. See the man page and the default
|
||||
config files for more info.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in 0.8.7:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The old libmej is now built as a shared library as well as a static one.
|
||||
Also, everything but the main() function has been moved into a library,
|
||||
libEterm. Since most people use lots of Eterms at once, creating a shared
|
||||
library will reduce the text segment of each Eterm significantly, saving
|
||||
quite a bit of memory per Eterm.
|
||||
- Removed MIN_ANCHOR_SIZE and added -a (--min-anchor-size) option. It is 0 by
|
||||
default so ppl won't complain about the scroll-up "bug".
|
||||
- Lots of fixes to Esetroot
|
||||
- CygWin32 support. May take a little bit of effort, but it works.
|
||||
- Escape sequences to toggle transparency and shading, as well as set tint,
|
||||
are in. Toggling transparency works. The others don't yet.
|
||||
- Newer Linux versions required a hack to open the display.
|
||||
- Cleaned up privileges toggling.
|
||||
- Changed the --watch-bg option to --watch-pixmap, which will hopefully make it
|
||||
less tempting for people to think it has something to do with transparency.
|
||||
- Added the --watch-desktop option which causes a pseudo-transparent Eterm to
|
||||
monitor the desktop pixmap for changes and update accordingly.
|
||||
- Several various parser cleanups.
|
||||
- Transparency can now be done via Imlib rather than Xlib. It is markedly slower
|
||||
but offers more configureability, like shading by percentage (--shade-pct) and
|
||||
tinting masks (--tint <24-bit mask>).
|
||||
- Shading now works for 8bpp pseudo-color displays. This formerly generated an
|
||||
error message about the X server not setting the visual info properly. It is
|
||||
not fast by any means, but that's what you get for having an 8bpp video card.
|
||||
- Fixed the menubar code so that the menus aren't clipped by the window or screen
|
||||
edge.
|
||||
- Changed the shell_expand() function in options.c so that \' within single quotes
|
||||
would insert a single quote. This differs from the shell behavior, but I prefer
|
||||
it. :)
|
||||
- More *BSD utmp fixes.
|
||||
- Added debugging features configureable at configure-time. Also added stack
|
||||
tracing on crash.
|
||||
- Fixed the bug with dragging a transparent Eterm across E's desktop dragbar. It
|
||||
reparents to the root window for a bit, but once you drop the window, it changes
|
||||
backdrops right on cue. Also works when moving Eterm windows between desktops.
|
||||
Note that this requires the use of the -W (--watch-desktop) option.
|
||||
- \e[9n prints the pixmap filename in the title bar. In transparency mode, prints
|
||||
transparency info to the title bar.
|
||||
- New --home-on-input option which split off part of --home-on-echo
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in 0.8.8:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Better, more detailed man page. Now if only people would read it....
|
||||
- Shading is now done by percentage, and tinting by hex mask. See the man page for
|
||||
more info.
|
||||
- Lots of new options: --menubar-move, --anim, --pause, --viewport-mode,
|
||||
--xterm-select, and --select-line. See man page for details.
|
||||
- FORCE_BACKSPACE and FORCE_DELETE have been fixed.
|
||||
- KS_DELETE (the strings associated with pressing the Delete key) is now set to ^?
|
||||
by default. If you don't like that, you can set it back, or use the keysym
|
||||
attribute in the config file, or whatever.
|
||||
- --with-cc=prog argument to ./configure to specify an alternative compiler. The
|
||||
default looks for egcs, then pgcc, then gcc, etc.
|
||||
- Eterm-specific escape sequences:
|
||||
Syntax: ESC ] 6 ; <op> ; <arg> BEL
|
||||
|
||||
where <op> is: 0 toggle transparency
|
||||
1 set shade percentage
|
||||
2 set tint mask
|
||||
3 forced update of pseudo-transparent background
|
||||
30 Do not use
|
||||
40 Do not use
|
||||
and <arg> is an optional argument, depending
|
||||
on the particular sequence being used. It
|
||||
(along with its preceeding semicolon) may or
|
||||
may not be needed.
|
||||
- X errors are handled more gracefully and with more helpful information.
|
||||
- The --disable-stack-trace option to ./configure, whose use is obvious.
|
||||
- Added an icon and associated option/attribute.
|
||||
- As always, lots of bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
|
||||
- The -center option for Esetroot. Centers the pixmap.
|
||||
- Eterm is now FHS compliant, meaning that the theme and image directories are
|
||||
now under ${prefix}/share/Eterm instead of ${prefix}/lib/Eterm. See the
|
||||
move-themes script included in the distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in 0.8.9:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Support for scrolling with mouse wheels.
|
||||
- New --version switch to display compile-time configuration.
|
||||
- Tinting and shading have been sped up by about 30% thanks to Michael Pearson
|
||||
<alcaron@ozemail.com.au>.
|
||||
- Scrollbar type and width is now customizeable at compile-time *and* run-time.
|
||||
Support for NeXT-style scrollbars has also been added.
|
||||
- Three *major* bugs have been fixed. Tiled desktop images no longer cause
|
||||
crashes when tinting or shading. The resize crash bug has also been squished.
|
||||
The secure system() call replacement which was accidentally removed has been
|
||||
added back.
|
||||
- Ctrl-Button1 now grabs input focus. Ctrl-Button2 toggles the scrollbar on and
|
||||
off. Ctrl-Button3 toggles the menubar on and off. NOTE: If you used to
|
||||
disable the menubar by commenting out the loading of the menubar file, or
|
||||
loading a fake one (e.g., '-Mx' or '-M /dev/null'), don't. Simply add "off" to
|
||||
the end of the menu line (e.g., 'menu Eterm.menu off'), or use the new boolean
|
||||
command-line option --menubar (e.g., '--menubar off'). Then you can toggle the
|
||||
menubar using Ctrl-Button3 like you would expect.
|
||||
- Popup scrollbar support has been added.
|
||||
- New -D (--desktop) option for choosing a desktop to start on. Your window
|
||||
manager must be GNOME-compliant for this to work. See the documentation at
|
||||
http://www.gnome.org/devel/gnomewm/ for info on the _WIN_WORKSPACE property.
|
||||
- The Eterm Technical Reference has been completely rewritten. It is now an HTML
|
||||
document located in the doc/ directory.
|
||||
- Lots and lots and lots of new escape sequences. See the Technical Reference for
|
||||
details on them.
|
||||
- Oodles of small bug fixes, as always. :-)
|
||||
- Debugging output is now runtime configurable. Use the --debug option and supply
|
||||
a number. 0 (the default) gives no debugging output. 1-5 give increasingly
|
||||
more output, up to 5 (which I don't recommend using) which synchronizes X events
|
||||
(and slows things down bigtime).
|
||||
- You can now save your current Eterm settings from the menu.
|
||||
- New --app-keypad and --app-cursor options to set the startup mode for
|
||||
application/normal mode for the keypad and cursor keys.
|
||||
- Three new utilities in addition to Esetroot, all of which are located in the
|
||||
utils/ directory. Etbg is a tool for manipulating Eterm's background image on
|
||||
the fly. Etcolors.sh demonstrates all the different combinations of your
|
||||
current color settings. Etmenu.sh lets you send menu commands to Eterm's
|
||||
menubar subsystem without having to type the escape codes yourself.
|
||||
- Borderless Eterms now attempt to use the Window Manager to become borderless
|
||||
instead of bypassing it altogether.
