Updates to the termcap/terminfo stuff to make everything work on *BSD.
Thanks to Thomas Dickey <dickey@herndon4.his.com> and Will Yardley
<william@hq.newdream.net> for their assistance with this.
SVN revision: 6391
Use safe_print_string() to decode string defines before printing them
in --version output. This fixes Debian bug #143328, submitted by
Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>.
Also removed '~' from the CUTCHARS compiled-in default. (It had
already been removed from the themes.) Makes double-click selection
of URL's easier. Requested by Laurence J. Lane <ljlane@debian.org>.
SVN revision: 6152
There is now a new mechanism for dealing with the background image
collection, including a new update script. Please read the newly-
rewritten bg/README.backgrounds for details.
Also, I'm trying to flesh out the Contributors list in that file, but
my memory isn't cooperating. So if you contributed one of the
backgrounds, or know someone who did, please let me know.

I made several corrections to the terminfo entry noted by Thomas
Dickey <dickey@herndon4.his.com>:
- Removed cvvis. It wasn't actually supported and thus conflicted
with cnorm.
- Removed kf0, which conflicted with kf10.
- Added the CPR (u6) capability which I inadvertantly omitted.
I also removed the extraneous identities, keeping only "Eterm" and
"Eterm-color".
In a similar vein, I enabled the u8/u9 handshake while keeping the
ENQ (^E) response disabled.

Jeff Blank <jfb@mr-happy.com> pointed out that Sun's Workshop Pro
compiler defines __SVR4 but not __svr4__ or SVR4. This has now been
accounted for.
SVN revision: 4162
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
Several small changes, like freeing pixmaps which won't be needed
later, reducing the default Imlib2 cache size to 0 bytes (we don't
really use it well), and an image path bugfix spotted by Teodor
Zlatanov <tzz@iglou.com>.
The big change, of course, is the disappearance of libmej and the new
dependency on libast, which is now distributed separately.
SVN revision: 3793
Massive reorganization/rewrite to libmej. It should now be 100%
independent of Eterm. There still may be some gremlins in the memory
debugging code, so don't use too high a number with --debug....
SVN revision: 3282
I added accelerated scrollwheel support. I also added a #define in
src/feature.h for specifying the number of lines of context to keep
when paging up or down.
Also, we're back to the old behavior where home on input won't be
triggered unless the key pressed has an associated string value. I
went back on this because Shift causing a jump to the bottom was
really annoying when trying to Shift-PgUp or Shift-PgDown. Sorry,
Darren, but you lose.
SVN revision: 2270
Added a new --pipe-name option to allow Eterm to read from a console
device/tty/pipe other than /dev/console. This is useful for folks on
Debian, where "console" messages actually go to the /dev/xconsole
named pipe rather than to /dev/tty0.
SVN revision: 2212
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
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
More fixes with menus and transparency. After you build this version,
check out the brand new "glass" theme at http://www.eterm.org/. It
looks sweet. :-)
SVN revision: 1905
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'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
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.
SVN revision: 706
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.
