Okay, first off, I finally found and fixed a typo with regard to the
utempter support on RedHat-based systems. I doubt it's ever worked
properly (sigh). Secondly, I added support for throwing Eterm's
termcap entry into the termcap DB on FreeBSD (and possibly other
*BSD-based) systems thanks to info from Kirby Kuehl
<vacuum@technotronic.com>. And finally, added in a patch from Paul
Brannan <pbranna@clemson.edu> to support some additional escape
sequences for vim.

Fixed the problem where the wrong font would end up in your menus and
buttonbars if you enable multibyte support but don't have a specific
encoding in use. I also corrected a large number of misplaced
newlines in error messages; I think that was some Perl-fu gone awry.

Although I have yet to be able to reproduce it, I believe this will
fix Debian bug #104393. I don't think the lower parts of that array
were getting properly zeroed. :(
SVN revision: 4975
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. :-)

This takes care of Debian bug #101777. Somebody was bitching that the
0-15 colors could no longer be used as values for the -f/-b/-c/etc.
options. I don't remember that ever being a feature to begin with,
but it took me all of 5 minutes to make it happen, so I figure what
the hell. Here ya go.

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
Added a -a/--attribute option for passing config file stuff to the
parser on the command line. Also got the command line option section
of the man page up to date. I'll tackle the rest some other time;
it's late. :-)
SVN revision: 4820
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.
SVN revision: 4810
Okay, first off, I removed 3 scaled backgrounds. See www.kainx.org or
my post to enlightenment-devel for details.
Second, I redid the default bindings for the mouse wheel. Basically,
the wheel alone will scroll by pages. Ctrl+wheel will scroll by pages
in groups of 5. Shift+wheel will scroll by a single line. If you
hold down the Alt key, the same combinations will work the same way,
but instead of scrolling within Eterm, they'll scroll the application
in the terminal (by sending PgUp/PgDn and up/down arrows). This works
in less, bash, and any other application which groks those keys.
I also added a --without-mousewheel option to configure that will turn
off the default scrollwheel bindings. Of course, you can always use
action bindings in the config file to bind/rebind these any way you
like.
While I was at it, I found and fixed a bug in the handling of the
Alt and Meta keys.
I added a scroll() function to the script stuff which allows you to
bind keys/buttons to scroll up and down. While I was at it, I added
comments to script.c for each function you can use.
And finally, the config file parser was moved to libast.
SVN revision: 4806
Finally got the selection stuff cleaned up. Hopefully this will be
the last time I have to deal with it for awhile. While I was at it,
I implemented incremental selection transfers. Unfortunately, it
doesn't seem like too many people support it. kedit doesn't, and it's
broken in Emacs (*grumble*). Works in gvim though.
SVN revision: 4784
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.
SVN revision: 4773
Fixed the handling of menus larger than the screen, an issue noted by
Laurence J. Lane <ljlane@debian.org>. While I was at it, I also made
the pointer move along with the menu when a move is necessary.
SVN revision: 4752
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>.
SVN revision: 4750
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.
SVN revision: 4748
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
Added a spec file for Linux-Mandrake which was contributed (ages ago)
by Joakim Bodin <bodin@dreamhosted.com>. I don't plan on maintaining
this, so I hope he does. :-)
Also applied a menu change which I am hoping will fix an infinite
recursion bug in the menu system pointed out on SourceForge by
Jonathan S. Keim <jonkeim@princeton.edu>.
SVN revision: 4108
Applied a couple patches I'd overlooked in my inbox. Sebastian
Dransfeld <sebastid@stud.ntnu.no> added a config file option to
duplicate the behavior of the --buttonbar command-line option. He
also updated the man page, something I usually put off until just
before I do a release. :-)
I also went back and redid the way Eterm does backquote execution to
avoid a potential race condition.
SVN revision: 4083
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
At the request of Snow-Man <sfrost@snowman.net>, I added the build
date to the output of --version. While I was at it, I also added the
RCS ident strings.
I also applied a patch from Sung-Hyun Nam <namsh@lgic.co.kr> that
fixes XIM-related seg faults during clean-up.
