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!

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.

I've rewritten almost the entire scrollbar. It mostly works, but it
still has issues. I've put an #error directive in so that it won't
compile; take it out if you *really* wanna try it. It's much more
efficient than before.

You can now apply additional color modifiers to the various widgets
in transparent mode that further modify the background. So, in other
words, you could have a scrollbar anchor that, in the normal state,
is darker than the transparent background, and in selected/clicked
state, is brighter. Or any variation on that theme. :-)
Once you've got this version going, try the following changes to your
trans theme's config file:
begin image
type anchor
mode trans allow image trans auto
state normal
file bar_vertical_1.png
geom :scale
border 3 3 2 2
cmod image 192
bevel up 1 1 1 1
state selected
file bar_vertical_2.png
geom :scale
border 3 3 2 2
cmod image 320
bevel up 1 1 1 1
end image
You'll see what I'm talking about. :-)

I fixed the popup scrollbar bug with transparency, but I fixed lots
more than that. I removed a lot of duplicate event handling, lots of
duplicate redraws, and lots of unnecessary transparency updates. In
doing so, I fixed the latency problem people had been reporting with
several shaded/tinted transparent Eterms while changing desktops. I
also threw solid color transparency support in the mix while I was at
it. All in all, you should notice significant speedups in transparent
Eterms.

Lots of cleanups here, including a couple fixes for bugs noticed by
Tom Gilbert <gilbertt@tomgilbert.freeserve.co.uk> and Martin Tyler
<martin@boo.org>. Also removed the requirement of glibc 2.1 for using
SVR4-style pty's (/dev/pts/*) under Linux.
SVN revision: 798
Shaved off around 100 KB of memory usage per Eterm by moving more
code into the shared library, removing lots of unneeded variables, and
fixing some small leaks here and there.
SVN revision: 710
Auto mode has been fixed to work with the newest E. If you don't have
the newest E, it won't work. So don't bug me about it; just upgrade.
Your version of E must be dated October 7th or later, or all bets are
off.
I also cleaned up some stuff to save lots of unnecessary redraws and
(if you're in auto mode) E IPC transactions.
A bug in the value set for $IFS was also fixed. Thanks to Kimball
Thurston <kimball@sgrail.com> for pointing out my oversight.
Furthermore, I added a parameter to the --enable-multi-charset option
for configure. You can now specify =utf-8 to get UTF-8 fonts for the
multi-byte mode stuff. If you pass =kanji (or no value at all), you
will still get the old Kanji fonts. If you use multi-byte Eterm and
have a set of fonts for other setups (Big 5, Cyrillic, etc.), please
let me know and I'll add a parameter for those too.

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. :)
