I'm still not done with the commenting work I've been doing, but I've
made some fixes, so I figured it was time to commit what I've done so
far.
I've added support for multi-byte selection/pastes from programs like
Netscape, thanks in part to a patch from Yasuyuki Furukawa
<yasu@on.cs.keio.ac.jp>. I've also applied a bugfix for pty
allocation on Irix from David Kaelbling <drk@sgi.com>, a display
bugfix pointed out by Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu>, and
a fix for a missing menu in the auto theme discovered by someone on
IRC.
I've also added quite a few comments to term.c to help people grok
the parsing of escape sequences a little better.
SVN revision: 2168
Fixed a bug with background colors and proportional fonts. Also added
an escape sequence, \e]30;<filename>\a, to dump the scrollback buffer
to a file. You will not get colors, or bold, or underlining, or any
other rendering information. Just the text. Linebreaks will appear
as they do on the screen.
SVN revision: 2090
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!

Finally fixed the seg fault pointed out by Tom Gilbert
<gilbertt@tomgilbert.freeserve.co.uk> back in mid-September where
small Eterms with little or no scrollback would crash when receiving
large amounts of data all at once.
I also fixed a clearing issue with double buffering, and I worked
around a really lame gdb/glibc2 bug that has prevented me from using
gdb with Eterm for ages.
SVN revision: 1804
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
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.
SVN revision: 1333
Some selection changes and escape sequence fixes. You can now
specify multiple color modifier commands in a single escape sequence.
You can also remove any existing color modifiers using "clear".
SVN revision: 1324
Nothing really important here. I may have fixed the refresh problem
that a lot of people see when switching desktops and IRC-ing in an
Eterm, but I'm not sure. And I have once again discovered (well,
re-discovered actually) that the remaining bits of rxvt code in the
scrollbar are smelly piles of poop that I really need to get around
to fixing one of these days.
SVN revision: 1032
Fixed lots of issues revealed by the -ansi -pedantic flags. The only
warnings you get with those flags now are implicit declaration
warnings for non-ANSI functions and warnings specific to certain OS's
and their non-ANSI implementations of ANSI functions, neither of
which I can do much about. :-)
SVN revision: 1010
This should get rid of all the warnings. If you're running Linux and
get warnings about setresuid, setresgid, grantpt, and unlockpt not
having prototypes, feel free to add the following lines to your copy
of /usr/include/unistd.h:
/* Linux- and HP-UX-only setres?id() calls -- mej */
extern int setresuid(uid_t ruid, uid_t euid, uid_t suid);
extern int setresgid(gid_t rgid, gid_t egid, gid_t sgid);
/* SVR4 PTY functions */
extern int grantpt(int fd);
extern int unlockpt(int fd);
SVN revision: 886
Warnings begone!
Eterm/src/command.c still has two warnings but I don't know why
I didn't get rid fo them. there are still warnings in
Esetroot.c and in Etbg, but I'll fix those later.
SVN revision: 866
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
Worked around a XF86 3.9.16 (perhaps Xinerama) problem. Also added
some XIM changes from Sung-Hyun Nam <namsh@lgic.co.kr> to handle
buffer overflows.
