Moved "Escreen" menu to the new Escreen theme so it's no longer
hard-coded.
Added interactive prompting to search() script routine.
Changed dialog() routine to exec_dialog() and added editing of its
command line.
Added msgbox() script routine to display a message and wait for a
keypress.
Fixed a memory leak in the menu_dialog() function. Also cleaned up
its event handling.
Added comments to the script routines that were missing them.
Make sure we exit cleanly if our window is destroyed.
Fixed the missing menus in the Escreen theme. You'll still get an
error message when it loads, but I'm not that worried about it.

Fixed a warning that got missed before. Also removed the colour
scheme that no one liked. I left it in the Eterm theme, though...just
commented it out. I also put back the old font lines and commented
those out too. The Eterm theme config file is intended as a teaching
tool as well as a theme config. :)

I got tired of having to maintain half a gazillion menus.cfg files
considering that the vast majority of them are identical or have
large identical sections. Thus, I took the m4-based menus.cfg from
the chooser theme and hacked on it a bunch. I can now regenerate
the menu files for all Eterm themes from a single source file using
the gen-menus script in doc/.
I also removed the comments from the theme.cfg files of all themes
except "Eterm" itself.

Updating menus for some themes, and removing some themes that really
don't demonstrate anything spectacular. They'll go on the web site.
SVN revision: 5250
All the docs and themes should now be up-to-date. Unless a
showstopping bug turns up in the near future, this is pretty much it
for 0.9.1. Now we just need some testing to make sure there's
nothing horridly wrong.... So you all can test while we finish up
the web site and the backgrounds. :-)

Several changes here, many of which come from the Debian bug list or
from bug reports on IRC. First off, I believe I've fixed an install
issue with the bg/ directory. I also put an alternative acsc line in
the terminfo file to see if it fixes anything on Debian. (RH works
fine.) I removed the "main" context from all the theme files...which
is something I should've done ages ago, but I forgot.
I made a couple things options which were not previously configurable.
The proportional font thingie which shrank the character cell width is
now the --proportional option. The automatic window gravity on resize
is now the --resize-gravity option. Both are boolean, and both are
documented in the man page.
And finally, I added the kill() function to the script language. At
this point it can only take signals as numbers, but that's good enough
for now.
SVN revision: 4857
Fixed several bugs in the saving of settings and the support of
scripts in menus. Also fixed the definition of term_name in the theme
files as pointed out by Laurence J. Lane <ljlane@debian.org>.

You can now create key, mouse button, menu item, and buttonbar button
bindings which trigger the parsing of a "script." I've thrown in a
few functions already to replace some icky escape sequences; there
will be many more functions forthcoming, although I don't know how
many of them (if any) will make it in prior to release.
The usage is pretty simple. Where before you might've said:
action string "\e]6;70\a"
you would now say:
action script "exit();"
You can call as many functions as you like per script. Use a
semi-colon (';') to separate each function call. If you only call
one function, the ';' is optional. If you aren't passing parameters
to the function, the parentheses are also optional. Parameters are
separated by commas and/or whitespace.
Valid functions currently are:
die(): die() is a synonym for exit().
exec(): exec() is a synonym for spawn().
exit(): Exit Eterm. Takes an optional exit code or message.
quit(): quit() is a synonym for exit().
save(): Save the config. Specify "theme" to save the theme
config. Also takes an optional path & filename.
search(): Search the scrollback buffer for a string.
spawn(): Spawns a sub-program. Defaults to "Eterm".
You will need the libast dated today to build and run this Eterm.
You will also need to update your themes.

Moved the HAVE_SAVED_UIDS define into a configure option so that the
FreeBSD folks will have an easier time with it.
Fixed "make distcheck" which broke at some point.
That X stuff in clean_exit() should only happen if we're debugging.
Nobody but me should have to deal with those random hangs. :-)
Added a patch for multibyte cursor support from Michael C. Wu
<keichii@iteration.net> and Sung-Hyun Nam <namsh@lgic.co.kr>, along
with some other FreeBSD-related patches from Mr. Wu.
SVN revision: 4065
Since someone wanted it, if no name is given but an exec line (the -e
option) is given, the name defaults to the first word in the exec line
instead of "Eterm-<version>". For example, Eterm -e ssh foo would get
the title "ssh". NOTE: Most Eterm themes already specify a name, so
this will not work with those themes.
SVN revision: 3886
This is the initial commit with Imlib2 support. READ THIS CAREFULLY.
There is important information in this commit message that will keep
you from getting screwed.
First off, support for Imlib 1.x is GONE. It is no longer supported
as of now. If you want to continue using it, do NOT install this
version. I tried to support both for awhile, but the code ended up
being way too ugly and hackish. Imlib2 is the future. And trust me,
when you see what we do with this future, you'll be happy for the
switch.
The good news is that most of the basics work. Transparency still
works, and the basic image stuff works. Most users won't notice any
major problems, so long as your Imlib2 is 100% up-to-date.
However, a few things still don't work:
1. Auto mode is a bit broken. You'll get X errors in XFree86 4.0.
Don't use it if you're running XFree 4.
2. Color modifiers for images don't work. At all.
3. Transparency shading/tinting will not work in 8bpp or lower. Life
blows sometimes. Sorry. Time for a real video card. :-)
4. The built-in icon is broken.
5. You WILL need to update your theme.cfg files. The borders on the
horizontal and vertical bar images were incorrect when combined with
the new anti-aliased scaling. The horizontal bars should have a right
border of 3. Vertical bars should have a bottom border of 3. The
menu images should have both right *and* bottom borders of 3. You can
either make those changes by hand, or use the --with-theme-update
option to autogen.sh. Your call.
I think that covers everything I've run into. I will point out that
I don't really take advantage of a lot of the Imlib2 features just
yet. My first priority is to make all the stuff that worked before
work again (or at least the important stuff). Then I'll work on
new features.
So there it is. If you're not ready for it, don't use it. But if you
are, I hope you like it.

There are now two different sets of settings you can save. You can
save user settings, which are the things that one would generally
consider to be user-specific (toggles, text colors, etc.). You can
also save theme settings, which saves *everything*, including the
stuff that user settings don't include (like imageclasses, menus,
etc.). Settings are saved to user.cfg and theme.cfg, respectively.
Also, Eterm will now detect if it cannot write to the location from
which it got the theme (i.e., a system-wide directory), and will fall
back on ~/.Eterm/themes/<theme>. It WILL create this directory tree
if it does not already exist.
Hopefully this will make more people happy. :-)
SVN revision: 2440
The buttonbar can now be toggled on and off both in the config file
and via an escape sequence. The themes in CVS use Ctrl-Shift-Button3.
You can also specify in the config file whether to dock the buttonbar
at the top or the bottom of the Eterm window. You can't move it on
the fly yet, but that will come.
I also fixed resizing so that the term window didn't redraw itself
unnecessarily. Hopefully I didn't break anything in the process. :-)
Plus, I fixed poor handling of X-generated ConfigureNotify events, and
the terminfo stuff is now done at install time instead of build time.
SVN revision: 2077
This is the first public availability of the work thus far on Eterm
0.9.1. There's quite a bit of new stuff here.
* Added scrollbar thumb support.
* Completely redid the terminfo/termcap stuff. The terminfo file is
now compiled (by tic) and installed by default (unless you specify
--without-terminfo). The config files still say xterm, though,
because some programs (like SLang and GNU mc) use the silly algorithm
of "Is $TERM set to xterm?" to detect mouse reporting support in a
terminal. =P But if you don't ever use xterm, you can use Eterm's
termcap and just name it "xterm" instead. Thanks to Marius Gedminas
<mgedmin@takas.lt> for his patch that started this whole revamp.
* Added the kEsetroot script for KDE users from Dax Games
<dgames@isoc.net>.
* You can now configure the Home and End emulation via --with-home=
and --with-end= options to configure. The --with-terminfo option is
also new, and --enable-xim is now the default.
* Added a new image state, disabled, for when Eterm loses focus. This
is supported by all widgets (well, all those that could possibly be
on screen when Eterm lost focus), even the background image. So you
could actually have all your images darken on focus out and restore
to normal on focus in.
* Widget colors formerly dealt with as colors (menu text color,
scrollbar color, etc.) are now handled by the imageclasses. Each
image state can have a foreground and background color defined. The
current exception is the background image; I hope to add that later.
The foreground is the text color and the background is the object
color (for solid color mode). So menu text color is set by the menu
imageclass. And again, for unfocused colors, use the disabled state
of the imageclass.
* Proportionally-spaced fonts are now handled much better. They are
still forced into evenly-spaced columns (it's a terminal for crying
out loud!) but at least you don't end up with Eterm's wider than your
screen. :-)
* Home on refresh is gone, as is home on echo. It's now much simpler.
There are two options: home on output, and home on input, the former
being a combination of echo and refresh. Also, keypresses that don't
necessarily have corresonding output can trigger a home on input,
like Ctrl-End or whatever...ones that don't have special meaning.
Credit to Darren Stuart Embry <dse@louisville.edu> for pointing out
this issue and the one with "m-" in font names.
* I finally got around to re-merging the new parser stuff from my
work on the Not Game. Closed up some old potential behavior quirks
with theme parsing.
* Added a new escape sequence to fork-and-exec a program. Also added
a scrollback search capability to highlight all occurances of a string
in your scrollback buffer. Use the new "Etsearch" utility to access
it. "Etsearch string" to search for a string, then "Etsearch" by
itself to reset the highlighting.
* And of course, the biggie. Eterm now supports a completely-
customizeable buttonbar. Not a menubar, a buttonbar. It can have an
arbitrary number of buttons, and each button can perform an action,
just like a menuitem. So a button could bring up a menu (like a
menubar) or launch a program (like a launchbar) or perform an
operation (like a toolbar). Each button can have an icon, text, or
both. And you can have buttons left- or right-justified in the
buttonbar. You will eventually be able to have an arbitrary number
of buttonbars, but I'm still working on that.
As with any change this big, things could very easily be broken. So
beware. :-) I have tested this myself, and everything seems to work,
but I can't test every possibility. Let me know if you find anything
that's broken, and enjoy!
SVN revision: 2048
Updated the menu files to include all the new images in the background
collection. Also fixed a bug with solid-color menus and menus where
the selected state was not defined.
SVN revision: 1949
I finally got around to implementing double-buffering, although it
seems to still have some issues with font changes. But if you don't
change fonts, it works great. :-)
I also fixed the multibyte font stuff with help from Sung-Hyun Nam
<namsh@lgic.co.kr>. There seem to be some new issues here, though,
with the background pixmap. But I'm to tired to look deeper tonight.
SVN revision: 1588
Once again, I've rendered old themes obselete. :-)
I added a new config file attribute and command-line parameter. The
option is --default-font-index, but I wouldn't necessarily use it.
The config file attribute makes more sense. :-)
Anyway, your themes will now need to have a line like this:
font default <index>
in the attributes section. This tells Eterm which font it should use
on startup. (<index> is a number between 0 and the highest-numbered
font you define.) You can now have up to 256 fonts. Font 0 is no
longer necessarily the default font; it is the smallest font. And the
larger the font index, the larger the font should be. (Of course,
this assumes you want Ctrl-> and Ctrl-< to increase/decrease your font
size. In reality, you can have your fonts in any order, and those
keys will cycle through them in order.)
Before, font 0 was always the default, and you didn't have much
freedom in rearranging your fonts. Plus, you were limited to 5. Not
any more. :-) The new system is much more straight-forward, logical,
and powerful.
So please be sure to update your themes by hand, or remove your theme
directory before installing this new version. If your theme lacks
the "font default" line, your Eterms will start with the wrong font.
:-]
SVN revision: 1344
Added an "auto" theme. So now the correct answer to the question,
"How do I turn on auto mode in Eterm?" is "Eterm -t auto"
I also finally got around to fixing (again) the version numbers in the
theme files.
SVN revision: 1034
(Mandrake)
I hate the default behaviour for tripleclick, and there's an option
to turn it off. however, it isn't documented in the default theme
anywhere. So, I fixed that annoyance and put it in the sample
Eterm theme.cfg file (set to the default value, not the OTW)
SVN revision: 990
Lots of changes here. First off, this should fix the background draw
bug with transparency that several people pointed out. While I was
at it, I also cleaned up a lot of other related stuff. Three-state
images should be a lot more robust now.
Then again, some stuff may be broken entirely from this, so let me
know. :-)
For one thing, the various image modes should work as expected now.
You can allow and disallow modes for the various widgets. The
fallback mode is "solid" now, rather than "image," so you can cause
a certain widget to refuse to use an image if you want to. If you
specify an image without specifying a "mode" line that allows the
"image" mode, your image will not appear. <-- READ THIS TWICE! I
had to go back and fix all the theme files because of this, so you
will need to remove your current theme directory and allow Eterm's
"make install" to put the new ones in place; otherwise, everything
will go back to being solid colors. =]
Anytime something changes this drastically, there are bound to be
problems. Let me know if you find any of them. :)

Fixed a possible null-byte overflow in the menu code.
Also, there seems to be a memory leak in XLoadQueryFont() in some
versions of XFree86 3.9.x, so I removed the unnecessary "font" lines
from the themes for the time being.
SVN revision: 296
Patch from Sung-Hyun Nam <namsh@lgic.co.kr> for the theme files. Also
added a timeout for the backtrace attempt so that it hopefully won't
hang around forever when gdb decides to hang.
SVN revision: 204
Ugh. I'd fixed this on my local theme but never on the CVS stuff.
Sorry, folks. Thanks to Ashley Penney <ashp@bastard.co.uk> for
pointing this out. The F1 key should bring up the menu now, and that
line should no longer generate a parse error. =)
