13 - XFree86 4.5.99.16

enable lastlogx support for NetBSD (was added, but - not enabled in patch #186). - -
work around broken lastlog.h in glibc 2.3.5, which - includes utmp.h. - -
revert part of recent XFree86 Imakefile change, restoring the - -I. needed for xmkmf builds of xterm - (XFree86 Bugzilla #1633, reports by Alexander Pohoyda and Matthieu - Herrb). - -
change compiled-in default for printerCommand - resource to an empty string. People who want to use the - printer should be able to read the manual (Debian #311490). - -
modify Imakefile to work around old problems in - imake configuration to allow test-builds using - xmkmf on Linux. (This was not noticed since several - releases had broken definitions relating to Xft which were harder - to work around). - -
link resize for SCO platforms (Kean Johnston). -

- -

Patch #206 - 2005/11/3 - XFree86 4.5.99.15

add configure --with-app-defaults option to allow - app-defaults directory for install-rules to be customized. - -
remove default translations for dabbrev-expand() - due to conflicts with existing keyboard arrangements. - -
remove redundant check for _NET_WM_PID - (report by Emanuele Giaquinta). - -
set icon border width explicitly to work around fvwm problem - with active icon resizing (report by Steve Morris, analysis - by Dominik Vogt). - -
modify resource files to make the font-resources a little - more specific, e.g., changing "*VT100*" to "*VT100.", to - make the distinction between VT100.font and VT100.utf8Fonts.font - sharper, in case a packager modifies one of those. - -
expanded comments in UXTerm.ad regarding the - font resources (Debian #319179). - -
add --enable-narrowproto configure option to - accommodate Xorg "modular" build (report by Stephan Hermann, - GenToo #17220). - -
fix typo in xterm.man description of +wf (patch - by Tobias Stoeckmann). - -
add scrollBarBorder resource (request by Floyd L - Davidson). - -
modify xterm-new terminfo entry to use capabilities - for shifted scroll forward/reverse as shifted cursor up/down. - -
correct updating of checkmark for toolbar entry in popup menu - (report by Emanuele Giaquinta). - -
fix ifdef's to allow compiling with toolbar and without tek4014 - (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta). - -
use openpty() for Darwin port (patch by Emanuele - Giaquinta). - -
fix GenToo #90697 a different way, postponing the logic in - SetupToolbar until the toolbar is actually needed, - i.e., the +tb option is handled as expected. - -
revert fix made in patch #203 for GenToo - #90697. That introduced a problem with the control mouse - click-popups, while most of the performance problems can be - resolved by restricting the menu fonts (report by Emanuele - Giaquinta). - -
fix a file-descriptor leak when calling openpty() - (OpenBSD system/4561). - -
make a special case of resizing work like vt100: a hard reset - also resets the 132/80 mode. The code to support this was - present since X11R5, but not used because the corresponding - initial state of the -132 option was not saved. - -
restore window manager hints after XtMakeResizeRequest() - calls. One instance from patch #205 - resulted in the window manager displaying pixels rather than - than characters after selecting a different font size (FreeBSD - ports/87424). - -
remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE - (Emanuele Giaquinta). - -
modify parsing of control sequence CSI T - to allow scroll-down - to be sent while mouse tracking is enabled (request by - D Hugh Redelmeier). - -
correct termcap "me" (mode-end) string so it does not modify the - alternate character set (report by Andrey Chernov). - -
correct size-comparison in HandleInterpret() broken in changes - from patch #201 to allocate input - buffer (Debian #334317). - -
amend adjustments for scrollbar layout from - patch #204 to make - this apply only to the toolbar configuration. In the non-toolbar - configuration, the resulting scrollbar was shifted by its - borderwidth (report by Matthieu Herrb). - -
add select-cursor-extend() action. - -
fix some broken href's in xterm.log.html, and typo in the - INSTALL file (report/patch by David Martínez Moreno). - -
modify Imakefile to use setgid mode for installing - with Linux, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. - -
add configure --with-setuid and --with-reference options to - allow packagers more flexibility in customizing install - permissions. - -
generalize and make optional (configure --with-utmp-setgid) - the change made for XFree86 Bugzilla #878 in - patch #205 - (FreeBSD bug report #ports/86663). -

- -

Patch #205 - 2005/9/18 - XFree86 4.5.99.12

correct a typo in CF_FUNC_TGETENT introduced in patch #198 fix for Gentoo #69926. - -
implement logic in termcap query to process multiple parameters - as documented in ctlseqs.ms - -
fix buffer size used for termcap query, which was not long enough - for the terminfo "colors" name (patch by Bradd W. Szonye). - -

minor improvements to scrollbar layout: ensure that the scrollbar - border is zero if the vt100 border is zero. - -
improve initialization due to utf8 resource by - loading the utf8Fonts resource in the case where - locale resource is false. Also in this case, do - not disable switching UTF-8 mode on/off. - -
minor optimization of TrueType font-loading, loads italic font - only when needed. - -
correct variable used to store temporary result from lookup of bold - font, when initializing the wide-bold-font data and no immediate - match is found by asking for a bold variant of the wide-font. The - result was to use overstriking rather than the actual bold font - (Debian #318162, patch by Eugene Konev). - -
add checks to ensure vt100 widget is realized when it might be - updated via actions handled from a tek4014-only configuration. -

improved some of the built-in line-drawing glyphs. - -
correct color of "box" character drawn for line-drawing glyph 1 - (report by Nicolas George). - -
improve behavior when switching to UTF-8 mode after startup so - xterm will check if the current fonts are already wide - (ISO10646-1). If they are not, xterm will use the - utf8Fonts subresource to load appropriate fonts - (request by Bram Moolenaar). - -

modify initialization for wide-bold fontname, to search for one - if none is given (report by Michael Schroeder). - -
add resource mkWidth and command-line option - -mk_width to control whether xterm uses the built-in - version of wcwidth(). - -

add initialization for scoFunctionKeys resource - (report by Rick K). - -
correct logic of ReallocateBufOffsets() which did not - copy the content of the old screen buffer to the proper location, - making a repaint clear after switching to wide-character mode - (report by Bram Moolenaar): - -

modify ifdef to define USE_POSIX_TERMIOS for Darwin (patch by Min - Sik Kim). - -
modify find_utmp() to initialize the whole utmpx struct (except - ut_id), since that is needed for OSF1 4.0D to prevent an infinite - loop on exit. - -
add configure check before adding -D_POSIX_SOURCE since some - platforms predefine it, e.g., cygwin. - -
add simplified sed expressions in CF_IMAKE_CFLAGS configure script - macro to ensure value for PROJECTROOT is quoted on Solaris, i.e., - when nested $ and $ are not interpreted - correctly. - -
correct DEC rectangle operations to reset state after completing - the operations. - -
modify CASE_ST handling in charproc.c to ensure that the parse - state is reset even if xterm is not currently processing an OSC or - other string (patch by Johnny Billquist forwarded by Matthias - Scheler, NetBSD xsrc/29003). - -
fix OS/2 build for innotek_libc (patch by David Yeo). - -

set $DISPLAY to ":0" if it is not set. - -
add utmpDisplayId resource to allow users to control - whether the display identifier (display number and screen number) - are retained in the connection information recorded in utmp - (discussion with Edoardo Tirtarahardja). - -
add bellOnReset resource to allow users to disable - bell which sounds on hard reset since patch - #183 changes to DECSCL (discussion with Danek Duvall). - -
improve $WINDOWID for configuration with toolbar by - making it refer to the top-level shell rather than the parent of - the current window. For that case, the parent is a form widget, - which does not have a name, which made the $WINDOWID - not very useful as a parameter for xwininfo - (suggested by Dave Bodenstab). - -
fix a typo in WhichVFont() macro - from patch #197 changes - which broke the --disable-active-icon configuration - (report by Ralf S. Engelschall). - -
improve some limit checks (Gentoo Bugzilla #75604). - -
add --disable-setuid option to configure script (Gentoo Bugzilla - #76543). - -

correct case of SCS for character set 0 (line-drawing) to allow it - to be selected into GR. - -
fix a file-descriptor leak (Redhat Bugzilla #139597). - -
modify creat_as() to only fork if xterm is actually - running as setuid and/or setgid. This works around a Cygwin bug - which hangs when logging is enabled and makes xterm a little - faster for systems using interfaces such as utempter (report by - Al Goodman). - -
modify Cleanup() to avoid operations such as X calls - that might use unsafe functions when it is called by a signal - handler (report by Michiel Boland). - -
fix bugs in patch #191 and in SRM changes - from patch #197 that - broke DECSET 38: switch to Tek4014 emulation (report by Dave - Bodenstab). - -
fix for manpage escapes (Marc La France). - -
improve on IRIX-specific change for Imakefile in XFree86 CVS versus - resize linking against termcap library to reflect definitions for - USE_TERMCAP in resize.c -

- -

modify configure script to remove empty "-DPROJECTROOT=" definition - which resulted unusable values for luit's default path. - -
update precompose.c based on Unicode 4.0.1 - -
several minor fixes based on Intel compiler warnings. - -
change default translations so a BtnDown which is - not recognized is simply ignored rather than emitting a bell. - That makes it less obtrusive when the user tries to use a mouse - which provides more capabilities than the X mouse driver supports, - e.g., one with a horizontal scroll wheel (Debian #265133). - -
note in xterm's manpage that translations is not - specific to xterm (Debian #278897). - -
modify uxterm script to use locale program to verify if the - derived locale is installed (Debian #246398). - -
correct font handling for active icon when in UTF-8 mode (report - by Paolo Liberatore). - -
make active-icon and toolbar configurations work together. - -
modify the criteria for disowning primary selection. Previously, - this happened anytime the cursor was moved before the end of the - selection. That would ensure that any insert/delete of char or - line, as well as scrolling, would disown the selection. The - new criteria change this to checking if the operations would - modify the data which is highlighted (Debian #277832). - -
reimplement DECALN with functions for vt420 rectangles, - fixes selection for this case. - -
implement vt420 rectangle operations. - -
add parsing, for debug/test of vt220 soft-fonts. - -
add menu entry, actions and escape sequence to allow - enabling/disabling toolbars at runtime. - -
improve rendering for Xft, allow it to draw non-linedrawing - characters such as "pi", which were drawn from internal tables - with patch #180 - (Freedesktop.org Bugzilla #1260). - -
add configure option --enable-mini-luit, ifdef'd the - mini-luit feature with OPT_MINI_LUIT. - -
add mini-luit feature, which supports Latin9 directly rather than - via luit, provided that Unicode fonts are used (Freedesktop.org - Bugzilla #1571, request by Stefan Dirsch, patch by Michael - Schroeder). - -
for Linux, if IUTF8 is defined, e.g., on recent 2.6.x kernels, - set the corresponding flag for the slave pty, to enable UTF-8 - interpretation of backspace in cooked mode (Freedesktop.org - Bugzilla #1578, request by Stefan Dirsch). - -
modify faceSize resource to use a floating-point - internal value (adapted from patch by Sam Stephenson). - -
correct handling selection of tabs over cleared space in UTF-8 - mode. In this special case, xterm represents the whitespace with - a null rather than a space character (Debian #276447). - -
amend fix for infinite loop from patch - #192 to check if there is wrapped text to output in a following - iteration (Debian #273202). - -
fixes ifdef'd with __INTERIX to allow building with - Interix (Windows Services for UNIX) 3.5 using the xlibs libraries - from freedesktop.org (patch by Min Sik Kim). - -
amend solution for Debian #252873, #260471 from patch #194 by making the cursor not - explicitly colored if only the foreground color is set, and the - cursor is on a blank space (Debian #275473). - -
correct logic for send/receive mode (SRM) with regard to control - characters. - -
fix masking of invisible text in wide-character mode, which did - not work for line-drawing characters. - -
incorporate CF_XOPEN_SOURCE into configure script, replacing - CF_GNU_SOURCE. -

- -

Patch #196 - 2004/8/15 - XFree86 4.4.99.12

add a special case to configure script to ignore NetBSD's - grantpt() which was recently added (but not part of a - release), until someone is able to ensure that xterm can use it - (report by Min Sik Kim). - -
clear the buffer returned by getutid(). This fixes an infinite - loop on some platforms introduced in patch - #193 by Debian #256468 fix (report by David Ellement). -

- -

Patch #195 - 2004/8/8 - XFree86 4.4.99.11

start changes to make doublesize characters work with TrueType - fonts (see patch #44). - -
trim leading/trailing blanks from color resources as done for - other strings in patch #167. - -
fixes for showBlinkAsBold resource (report by - Christoph Berg). -

- -

Patch #194 - 2004/7/27 - XFree86 4.4.99.11

change clearing operations so foreground color attribute is not - set. Usually this is benign, but in some cases when the cursor - color is not set explicitly, the cursor would show this color - (Debian #252873, #260471). - -
add extra state (cursor-moved) to guard against deciding that the - cursor did not require repainting after an indexing operation - that leaves the cursor in the same location on the screen. - -
fix a case where a full-screen indexing operation would - not restore the cursor-busy state. - -
fix a repainting bug introduced in - patch #180: when using a font - lacking line-drawing characters, a repaint of the screen could - skip horizontally an extra amount after filling in the missing - character (reports by Nicolas George, Hans de Goede, Redhat - Bugzilla #128341). - -
rename terminfo fragment "xterm-pc-fkeys" to "xterm+pcfkeys" for - consistency with ncurses. -

- -

Patch #193 - 2004/7/19 - XFree86 4.4.99.10

fix for wide-character selection from OpenBSD CVS - (report/patch by Matthieu Herrb). - -
modify initialization and cleanup of utmp data to also compare - the ut_line member (Debian #256468). - -
modify check on focus-change to ignore FocusOut events - generated by XGrabKeyboard. This fixes a case where - the text cursor would act as if focus were lost when selecting the - "Secure Keyboard" menu option. - -
add gen-pc-fkeys.pl script, use that to generate - terminfo fragment corresponding to the pc-style function keys. - -
fix a case where the checkmark by the "VT220 Keyboard" menu entry - was not set on startup. - -
separated two methods for making the cursor blink (menu and - escape sequence) by using the menu as the primary method and - XOR'ing the state of the escape sequence against that. - -
modify logic for enabling blinking cursor via escape sequence as - well as the related save/restore operations so this is only - available if the cursorBlink resource was set on - startup. -

- -

Patch #192 - 2004/7/12 - XFree86 4.4.99.9

change resource settings for color4 and color12, add some discussion - in XTerm-col.ad (Debian #241717). - -

add special case for VT100 graphic's "box" character (discussion - with Ben Armstrong). - -
add missing initialization for bitmap-font sizes needed to make - fonts menu work with TrueType fonts (report by Ben Armstrong). - -
save the fontnames for bold fonts that are derived from normal - fonts, or from the boldFont resource, so the same - value is restored when switching with the VT Fonts menu (Debian - #256086). - -
fix manpage preprocessing (Marc La France). - -
fix typo in manpage's description of character classes (Debian - #257073). - -
modify terminfo to accommodate luit, which relies on G1 being used - via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (Debian #254316, analysis by - Juliusz Chroboczek). - -
modify Makefile.in rule for ctlseqs.txt to work around groff SGR - misfeature. - -
modify XTerm.ad to set saveLines default - to 1024 (Redhat Bugzilla #127132). - -

fix ifdef's for OPT_COLOR_RES2 - so that the fake resource table introduced in - patch #188 - is not compiled if it is empty. - This happened to work with gcc (report by Joel Konkle-Parker). - -
reorganize ptydata.c to use one input buffer shared between - the VTxxx and tek4014 emulators. In the new scheme, UTF-8 - decoding is performed on characters as they are needed by the - state machine rather than on buffers as they are read. - -
work around change in quoting of PROJECTROOT symbol when using - configure script, from changes made in - patch #187 for CF_IMAKE_CFLAGS - (GenToo Bugzilla #50982). -

- -

Patch #190 - 2004/5/25 - XFree86 4.4.99.6

correct state for values in the range 128-159 after translating - from UTF-8: this should be ignored unless the user overrides it - with the allowC1Printable resource (reported by - Simon Strandgaard). - -
add configure-script check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use this to - replace check of environment variables for UTF-8. - -
change Makefile.in rules for 256colres.h and 88colres.h so they - are only made if they do not exist. The maintainer-clean rule - will remove these files; they require perl to be made. - -
remove check in configure script --enable-toolbar that suppressed - this option when building with Xaw7. - -
apply fixes to Tektronix widget used for VT100 widget to make - toolbar work with Xaw7 (XFree86 4.x). -

- -

make escape sequence reporting dynamic colors consistent with the - logic that sets it; choosing the opposite color when reverse - video is set (XFree86 Bugzilla #1361, reported by Bradd W Szonye). - -
modify initialization of 256- and 88-colors so that colors beyond - 16 are normally not X resources. This works around a hard-coded - limit in Xt which breaks xterm when 256-colors and luit are both - configured (report by Noah Friedman). - -
remove ncv from xterm-256color terminfo - entry since it is no longer needed (report by Eli Zaretskii). - -
add "erase2" and "eol2" keywords to ttyModes resource, - for recent/current FreeBSD. - -
improve ifdef's for utempter library to omit direct calls to - setutent() or getutent() (adapted from - patch by Christian Biere). - -

modify xtermAddInput to work around core dump on - IRIX64 when initializing scrollbar translations if toolbar is - compiled-in. - -
fix some minor conflicts in the 2-character entry names in the - termcap file. -

change reset on DECSCL to a soft-reset (appears some - DEC manuals have errors). - -
add a section to ctlseqs.ms elaborating on normal/alternate screens. - -

modify initialization of Tektronix window so that control sequences - setting its color before the window is popped up will apply to - its initial colors. - -
add control sequence to set Tektronix window's text-cursor. - -
modify initialization of terminal colors, e.g., mouse pointer and - text cursor, to treat XtDefaultForeground and - XtDefaultBackground values as the actual foreground - and background colors of the terminal rather than white and black - (Debian #241717). - -
remove an incorrect comparison against PTYCHARLEN in - parsing the -S option (report by Michael B Taylor). - -
minor restructuring of terminfo/termcap files, having noted some - packager's customizations which caused the structure to be - confused. - -
eliminate an isolated use of MIN/MAX in charproc.c - -
replace XtExtdefaultfont and - XtExtdefaultbackground by their more familiar - equivalents - XtDefaultFont and - XtDefaultBackground. - -
replace ifdef's using SCO, sco and - SCO325 with __SCO__ - (XFree86 Bugzilla #1301, Kean Johnston). - But ensure that it still builds on platforms where this symbol - is not defined. - -
add scoFunctionKeys resource, to match manpage. - -
update manpage discussion of menus and related resources. - -
enable utmpx support for NetBSD 1.6C and newer (patch by - Matthias Scheler). - -
add a note in the manpage discussing xterm's treatment of open - file-descriptors (request by Dan Shearer). - -
modify Help() to make "xterm -h" write to standard - output rather than standard error (patch by Bram Moolenaar). - -
check for type of failure in xim_real_init() to avoid looping when - the problem is an unsupported input method rather than a failure - to connect to the XIM server. Problem was introduced in - patch #175 (XFree86 Bugzilla #1306). - -
modify Imakefile to remove dependency of "install" - target on the xterm executable to make installs from - tree without attempting to rebuild anything (David Dawes, based on - a patch and report from Lee Olsen). - -
remove call to ShowCursor from - SetCursorBlink() since that is redundant, - and can cause display glitches if the cursor is already - blinking (XFree86 Bugzilla #1158, patch/report by Andreas Schwab). -

- -

add resource showBlinkAsBold to control whether - blinking text should be shown as bold or actual blinking text. - -
improve logic in ShowCursor() to avoid repainting the cursor when - it is already visible, e.g., in response to the DECTCEM escape - sequence. This also addresses XFree86 Bugzilla #1158. - -
implement blinking text, using the timer for blinking cursor. - -
modify FreeType support to allow resizing the font, in the same - ways the window can be resized if fixed fonts are used. The - relative font sizes are derived from the fixed font sizes. - -
add menu items and corresponding actions for switching on/off - the UTF-8 mode and Xft (TrueType) support. - -
add logic to handle switching UTF-8 mode on/off. It worked if - the escape sequences were flushed, but if data was mixed in with - the same write, some were not handled properly (report by - Nicolas George). - -
modify to allow turning UTF-8 mode on/off via escape sequence even - if -wc option was not given at startup (patch by Peter - Berg Larsen). - -
amend fix for XFree86 Bugzilla #981, adjusting for savedlines value - (report by Tim Adye). - -
fix a typo in computing relative font size (Jess Thrysoee). -

- -

Patch #183 - 2003/12/26 - XFree86 4.3.99.903

correct logic for configurations that may attempt to open both - old/new-style pseudoterminals. In this case, the old-style are - preferred. Logic was broken in patch #145 - (XFree86 Bugzilla #997, report/patch by Kean Johnston). - -
modify handling of eightBitInput resource in UTF-8 - mode to translate the value into UTF-8. Otherwise an illegal - UTF-8 code is sent to the application (report by Bram Moolenaar). - -
modify uxterm script to interpret help and version - options so xterm does not always create a window when the user - requests this information (Debian #223926). - -
add a limit check to ScrnTstWrapped() (XFree86 Bugzilla #981). - -
modify DECSCL to perform a hard reset (RIS) as per DEC manuals. - Extended DECSCL to accept parameters for vt4XX and vt5xx terminals. - -
correct logic for ANSI conformance level escape sequences, which - were confused with DEC conformance level escape sequences. - -
correct state for vt52 shift-in/shift-out, which was not reset - properly after patch #171. - -

correct logic for metaSendsEscape resource to allow - for the meta-right key to be tested. Improve check for meta/alt - modifiers by dropping the assumption that a keysym is associated - with only one modifier, and by ignoring NoSymbol entries in the - xmodmap data (XFree86 Bugzilla #924, patch by David Dawes). - -
correct wrapping logic for line-drawing characters written in - non-UTF-8 mode of xterm build for wide-characters (XFree86 Bugzilla - #918, report/patch by Jürgen Keil). - -
improve manpage description of resources, in particular the - utf8Fonts class (XFree86 Bugzilla #905). - -
add definitions to compile with glibc-based GNU/Hurd, GNU/KFreeBSD - and GNU/KNetBSD (XFree86 Bugzilla #893). - -
compiler-warning fixes (patch by Christian Biere). - -
add README.i18n (Tomohiro KUBOTA). - -
correct initialization of G1 character set mapping, which used - line-drawing set as a result of confusion between "DEC Supplemental - Graphic" and "DEC Special Graphic" character sets - (see patch #34 regarding DECSTR). - -
correct ifdef in main.c for variable utret (patch by - Bernhard Rosenkraenzer). - -
document in xterm's manpage how to use XFree86 ":unscaled" keyword - to suppress scaling of bold fonts. - -
when deriving bold fontname from normal fontname, use the normal - font's average width to avoid for example selecting 7x13bold - from an 8x13 normal font (Debian #107769). -

- -

add action load-vt-fonts() and configure option - --enable-load-vt-fonts which allows users to define - additional sets of VT-fonts which can be loaded at runtime. - -
add logic to wide-character support which attempts to load fonts - specified by utf8Fonts subresources at startup. The - subresources have the same names as the fonts which they replace, - e.g., font, font1, etc., so that the - ISO-10646-1 fonts can be specified in the XTerm - app-defaults file (this is an adaptation of a patch by Tomohiro - KUBOTA). - -
improve Set Font escape string handling by making the relative - settings apply to the size of the font, as in shift keypad - plus/minus rather than the menu index. - -
simplify parameter passing for the set-vt-font action - and related code. - -
cleanup some include-ordering, moving some recently-added hardcoded - stuff into xterm.h where it will not interfere with the configure - script. - -
modify xtermAddInput() (see note on augmentation in patch #158) to use the complete set of - default keyboard translations so that one can use shifted pageup, - wheel mouse, etc., while the mouse pointer is over the scrollbar. - (Debian #178812). - -
make save/restore mode controls apply to show/blink cursor states. - -
add escape sequence to start/stop blinking cursor, which allows - implementing cvvis terminfo capability (request by - Nate Bargmann). - -

several fixes for rendering using Xft (option -fa): -
- translate Unicode values (from UTF-8 output to xterm) for - line-drawing to xterm's internal code, etc., since TrueType fonts - generally do not have either set of line-drawing glyphs. xterm - can draw these directly (report by Abigail Brady). -
- pass 16-bit values rather than 8-bit values to - xtermXftDrawString() to allow for wide-characters. -
- remove spurious check for colorBDMode resource in - logic that does bold fonts. -
- implement underlining. -
- -
patches by Ilya Zakharevich: -
- improve drawXtermText() by making the recursive calls - communicate through arguments, and not through saving/restoring - global variables. - -
- make double-width characters work with -u8 option. - -
- modify lookup of double-sized fonts by checking for a match - ignoring x/y resolution if the first check fails. -
- -
make height of TrueType fonts match ascent+descent (patch by - Keith Packard). - -
correct configure-script check for imake $CFLAGS, which did not - check properly if imake was not available. - -
correct install rule in Makefile.in for uxterm, which - was attempting to strip the script (newsgroup posting by Fernan - Aguero). - -
correct AF/AB strings in termcap for xterm-256color and - xterm-88color entries (report by Josh Howard). - -
update wcwidth.c to incorporate changes from Markus Kuhn's - 2003-05-20 (Unicode 4.0) version of that file. - -
modify scroll-back and scroll-forw - actions to accept an adjustment value, e.g., -
```
-	      scroll-back(1, page-2)
```
- to scroll back by 2 lines less than a page (patch by Greg - Klanderman). - -
use color resource setting from Debian package for xterm VT100 widget, - since the choice of blues provides better contrast. - -
remove color resources from XTerm.ad, leaving them - only in XTerm-col.ad (prompted by Debian package for - xterm). - -
correct configure script option --enable-pty-handshake (report by - Paul Gilmartin). - -
add visualBellDelay resource to modify the length of - time used for visual bell, for very slow displays or very fast - computers (reports by Ingo van Lil and Doug Toppin). - -
correct logic for initializing dynamic highlight color (patch by - Jess Thrysoee). - -
add a check for non-zero size in call to XCopyArea() - to accommodate a Solaris bug. - -
correct typo in example for character classes in xterm manpage - (Debian #198910). - -
link xterm with bind_on_load option on Darwin to work around a - deadlock in the dynamic loader when a signal is received while - the dynamic loader is looking up symbols (patches by Rob Braun, - Torrey Lyons). - -
modify configure script to avoid using "head -1". - -
update config.guess, config.sub - -
modify ifdef's to work around inclusion of types FcChar32 and - XftCharSpec with FreeType 2.0 (see patch #175). - -
modify the predictable version of the generated logfile name (see - patch #171) to append the process-id rather - than a random value. - -
resync with XFree86 CVS: -

correct keypad-mapping table in input.c so XK_KP_Equal - works (report by Henning Makholm). - -
modified to work with CJK double-width (bi-width/monospace) fonts. - They're similar to Roman Czbora and David Starner's gnuunifonts in - that Latin letters and numbers have all the same width which is - exactly the half of the width of East Asian characters. (patch by - Jungshik Shin <jshin@mailaps.org>). - -
add configure option --enable-broken-osc and resource - brokenLinuxOSC to accommodate scripts which do not - distinguish between running in the Linux console and running in X. - Linux console recognizes malformed control strings which start - with an OSC, but are fixed-length, with no terminator. - -
add configure option --enable-broken-st and resource - brokenStringTerm to allow - user to revert one part of the parsing table corrections from - patch #171. (reports by - Matthias Scheler and - Kirill Ponomarew indicate that someone's - network firmware sends an <escape>X). - -
modify configure --disable-imake to provide values - for OSMAJORVERSION, OSMINORVERSION, - FUNCPROTO and NARROWPROTO (report by - Heiko Schlichting). - -
correct vttests/16colors.sh, which omitted the - $SUF variable in output strings (patch by Paul - Gilmartin). - -
modify shell scripts in vttests directory to attempt - to use named signals in the trap statement, making - this portable to OS/390 (report by Paul Gilmartin). Tested on - SunOS 4.1.4, which implements only numbers. -

fix definition of USE_HANDSHAKE, must be numeric - (reported by Jens Schleusener). -

- -

Patch #176 - 2003/3/22 - XFree86 4.3.0

add configure option --enable-pty-handshake to allow - one to compile-in support for the pty handshaking logic, and - resource ptyHandshake to enable or disable it - (suggested by Ian Collier). - -
restore USE_HANDSHAKE ifdef removed in - patch #159 - to address Debian #39964. - -
move ifdef's for ttysize/winsize into xterm_io.h - -
simplify loop on tgetent, check if the successive - entries in the lookup table are the same. That makes xterm do - one less lookup if there is no "xterm" entry in the termcap file - (report by Derek Martin). - -
correct manpage discussion of $TERM and - $TERMCAP variables, which omitted the Tektronix - emulation and a note of the final "dumb" fallback. - -
broaden ifdef for XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback() - from patch #175 (XIM fix) to exclude - non-XFree86 (report by Nelson Beebe indicates this breaks for - Solaris, IRIX and OSF/1). - -
correct resource-size for iconFont (this was added - by X11R6.3). - -
improve configure check for XKB bell extension, to work around - inconsistent implementation of this feature (reports by Nelson - Beebe, Kriston Rehberg and David Ellement). - -
modify configure-check for tty group to be less - strict in batch mode (report by Nelson Beebe). - -
modify to allow building with g++, to use its compiler warnings - (suggested by Nelson Beebe). - -
modify dec2ucs[] table to reflect newer codes - available for scanlines 1, 3, 7, 9 (report by Michael Schroeder). - -
add configure option for XawPlus library. -

- -

Patch #175 - 2003/3/9 - XFree86 4.3.0

fix a SIGSEGV which could occur if xterm is connecting to XIM - server, and the XIM server is destroyed (patch by Nam SungHyun). - -
modify to use built-in line-drawing characters for Xft fonts - (patch by Andrew Tipton). - -
make menu reflect the state of the tekInhibit - resource. - -
make signalInhibit resource work, i.e., disable the - menu entries that would send signals to, or exit xterm. This was - probably broken in X11R5 when logging was disabled (report by Sven - Mascheck). - -
changed classes of colorBDMode and similar - resources that override colors when a video attribute is - set to ColorAttrMode, to make them distinct - from ColorMode. This avoids an unexpected - rendering of reverse video, for example (report by Paul Fox). - -
changed class of veryBoldColors to - VeryBoldColors, since - ColorMode is associated with boolean resources. - -
add option -k8 and resource - allowC1Printable to allow users of non-VTxxx - character sets such as KOI-8 to treat the C1 control area - (character codes 128-159) as printable rather than control - characters. - -
add a null-pointer check for return-value of ptsname() - in HPUX-specific code (report by David Ellement). - -
revise the ifdef's used for XKB bell support. The - code was using a nonstandard call XkbStdBell(). - Changed to use XkbBell() (based on patch by - <derek@signalmarketing.com>). - -
add a null-pointer check in xtermLoadFont() in case - there is no wide-bold font (Nam SungHyun). - -
change Makefile.in to use autoconf's - bindir, libdir and mandir - variables (report by Nam SungHyun). - -
add le to termcap xterm-basic entry. - Though missing from older termcaps for xterm, some applications - check for it (report by Matthias Buelow). - -
modify uxterm script to strip modifiers such as "@euro" - from the locale setting before adding ".UTF-8" (Debian #179929). - -
modify the remaining places where tek4014 emulation uses - XDefineCursor(), to make it work as originally - implemented, e.g., when switching back to alpha mode. - Added test-screen in vttest to test this feature properly. -

- -

Patch #174 - 2003/2/25 - XFree86 4.2.99.903

work-around for XFree86 bug which made XDefineCursor() - on a shell-window no longer work. The tek4014 emulation used this. - Use the next lower window (report by Karl Rudolf Bauchspiess). - -
add a resource setting allowWindowOps to control - whether the extended window operations should be allowed, e.g., - resize, iconify, report window attributes. This is to accommodate - people who are not capable of using a pager to view log-files. -

- -

Patch #173 - 2003/2/6 - XFree86 4.2.99.902

reset mouse mode to normal on a full reset. This does not apply - to mouse hilite tracking mode, of course (see ctlseqs.ms). - -
add a time-delay at the point where mouse hilite tracking mode - choses to not handle X events, to avoid runaway CPU usage - (report by D Hugh Redelmeier). - -
check for illegal character in DECUDK string, quit if detected. -

- -

Patch #172 - 2002/12/27 - XFree86 4.2.99.3

fixes to make repainting of 256-color example work properly - (reports by Abigail Brady and Scott A Crosby). -
- set flag in AllocateAnsiColor() to ensure the color - is allocated once only. -
- fix check in ScrnRefresh, which was comparing - background colors only if the ANSI foreground colors also were set. -
- -
merge Error() calls and some exit() calls - into SysError(), and change that to add the brief - explanation for each error code which is provided in the manpage. - Change a few SysError(), calls to avoid using code 1, to - avoid confusion with exit status from places that do not use - SysError(). - -
simplify logic used to open a debug logfile as the standard error. - -
modify the -e option so that if it fails, xterm will - check if only one argument follows, e.g., it was quoted, and then - retry using sh -c. - -
modify parsing of DECUDK string parameter to allow a comma between - pairs of hexadecimal digits (Ray Neuman <raymond@one.com.au> - reports that "real" terminals accept this; perhaps they simply - ignore unexpected characters). - -
fix a few problems with the $TERMCAP string generated - by resize: -
- for Bourne shell, add an export command. - This was missing as far back as X11R5. -
- escape exclamation marks, used in xterm's reset string. -
- translate literal \177\ to "^?". -
- -
improve configure check for tgetent() to work when - $TERMCAP has been set to a specific entry. - -
modify minstall.sh to use "%" rather than "@", - to avoid problems with AFS (report by Zdenek Sekera). - -
list fatal error codes from error.h in the manpage, - remove unused codes in error.h. - -
use more explicit wording for manpage list of color resources, - since at least one user confused the generic names such as "black" - with the names in rgb.txt (the latter are now used). - -
minor fix to description of 1003 mouse mode in ctlseqs.ms - (Larry Riedel). -

- -

Patch #171 - 2002/12/12 - XFree86 4.2.99.3

update comment in input.c to document - Meta as a modifier for escape sequences (patch by D - Roland Walker). - -
add ifdef'd code for logging option which adds the hostname and a - timestamp to the generated logfile name. The ifdef's are setup - with the configure script (patch by Nelson Beebe). - -
remove xevents() call from the end of - BlinkCursor(), to fix an occasional problem - which caused xterm to pause until a key was pressed. - The reason for this was that there was no check to ensure that - there really were events for xevents() to process. - (patch by Semen A Ustimenko <semenu@FreeBSD.org>). - -
remove unused mode-params from open() calls that do - not create a file. - -
modify configure script to put new items first on - $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to avoid conflict - with environment's -I and -D options. - -
update config.guess, config.sub - -
resync with XFree86 CVS: -
- fix va_args glitches for xterm/libfontconfig: 0 == (void*)0 - isn't true for all platforms (Egbert Eich). -
- initialise ProgramName in xterm's main before referencing it - (#5473, Peter Valchev). -
- some cleanup of Imakefile ifdef's (Marc La France). -

update config.guess, config.sub -

- -

Patch #169 - 2002/10/5 - XFree86 4.2.1

modify wording of some options in help message to make them use - -/+ consistently with respect to "on/off" or "off/on". - -
sort options list which is displayed in help- and syntax-messages - at runtime to simplify maintenance. - -
remove support for Amoeba and Minix (Juliusz Chroboczek noted it - was removed from XFree86 server; there have been no users since - 1996). - -
add configure script option --disable-session-mgt - to control whether the session management code should be compiled-in - (request by H Merijn Brand). - -
ifdef'd the session-management changes with - OPT_SESSION_MGT, to accommodate X11R5 which predates - the related definitions. - -
fix decode_keyvalue(), which did not properly parse - multiple settings as needed for the ttyModes resource, - since it did not skip over the parsed data. - -
fix an option-parsing conflict between -class and - -cjk_width (Nam SungHyun) - -
add a missing null in XtVaSetValues() call used in - Cleanup() (Nam SungHyun) -

- -

Patch #168 - 2002/9/29 - XFree86 4.2.1

improve data reported for control sequence that requests window - position by taking into account the window decorations, e.g., - border and title (patch by Jess Thrysoee <jess@thrysoee.dk>). - -
add -cjk_width and corresponding resource - cjkWidth (patch by Jungshik Shin - <jshin@mailaps.org>). - -
add -into option, for embedding xterm in a Tcl/Tk - application (patch by George Peter Staplin <georgeps@xmission.com>). - -
add simple session management (XSM) client capabilities to xterm. - So a session manager such as, e.g., xsm, should be able to respawn or - kill xterms without the help of an SM proxy (like smproxy), which is - a hack and almost always buggy (patch by David Madore). - -
fix conflict between ifdef's for OPT_DEC_LOCATOR and - OPT_READLINE in button.c (reported by Ilya Zakharevich). - -
fix for inconsistent use of struct utmp versus - struct utmpx introduced in patch #167 - (patches by Paul Gilmartin, Marc La France). - -
modify logic for metaSendsEscape to allow it to work - in a setup where the Meta-key is not recognized as a modifier by - the key-translations logic (from a discussion of eightBitInput - with H.J.Lu, however Vincent Lefevre reported this in January). - -
use null pointer values consistently, rather than literal "0", for - ending variable-length argument lists, e.g., for - execlp() (based on patch by Matthieu Herrb). - -
correct logic of ChangeAnsiColorRequest(), which would - do a screen repaint after replying to a request for information. - -
improve scripts in vttests to work with systems whose shells support - echo -n and have, as does Debian, an unrelated - print utility. - -
add vttests/acolors.sh to demonstrate OSC 4, which queries or - sets ANSI colors. - -
fixes for ctlseqs.ms (Pavel Roskin, Ilya Zakharevich). - -
typos in xterm manpage (Jens Schweikhardt) - -
remove a redundant GCC_UNUSED from InitPopup() (Nam SungHyun) -

fix several places in ctlseqs.ms which had no boxes around the - literal text (report by Ilya Zakharevich). - -
integrated patch from Ilya Zakharevich to extend mouse support for - readline (ifdef'd with OPT_READLINE). - -
modify terminfo description to match default for - modifyCursorKeys resource. - -
add modifyCursorKeys resource to control how the - shift- and similar modifiers are used to make a cursor escape - sequence. The default makes a modified escape sequence always start - with CSI and puts the modifier as the second parameter, to avoid - confusing applications that would interpret the first parameter as a - repeat count. The original behavior can be obtained by setting the - resource to 0 (from newsgroup discussion with Stephen J Turnbull - and Jeffrey Altman). - -
correct missing initializations for appdefaultCursor - and appdefaultKeypad resources. - -
add configure option --enable-luit and ifdef'd the - luit-related code with OPT_LUIT_PROG. - -
integrate patch by Tomohiro KUBOTA from - http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/i18n/2002-July/003378.html which - modifies xterm to invoke luit. - -
update wcwidth.c to match Markus Kuhn's 2002-05-18 version. - -
correct limit-checking in ComputeSelect() to handle - selections that extend off the visible area; rather - than modify the parameters to TrackText(), use - ScrollSelection() to update the highlighting limits. - (reported by Yegappan Lakshmanan and Nelson Beebe, - patch by Alexander V Lukyanov). - -
correct manpage description of tiXtraScroll resource - (reported by Tony Finch). - -
changes from OpenBSD: -
- Make xterm setgid utmp to be able to update utmp even - with root privileges revoked. -
- If not updating utmp, revoke group privileges totally too. -
- -
changes from NetBSD: -
- Check that the return value from ttyslot() is greater than 0 - before writing the utmp file. - Fixes w's "w: Stale utmp entry: <user> <tty> <pty>" errors. -
- Use openpty() to deal with new pty naming scheme. -
- -
add print-redir action and menu entry to allow user to - switch terminal in/out of printer controller mode. It appears from - the manual that a real vt220 would not switch back to normal mode, so - another mechanism is used (addresses Debian #37517). - -
check if printerCommand resource string is empty, use - this to allow user to disable printer function. - -
trim trailing blanks from resource strings. - -
check return value from ptsname(), which may return - null for example if someone has changed the permissions of /dev/pts - to zero (Debian #121899). - -
modify OS/2 version to use __UNIXOS2__ definition - rather than __EMX__, related cleanup (patch by Holger - Veit). - -
used modified indent 2.0 - (patch 20020428) - to reformat most of the C source files, to simplify maintenance. - -
fix a couple of places where there were leading tabs on - symbol-definition lines in Imakefile (Marc La France from report by - Tony Finch) - -
add imake variable (TraceXTerm) to allow building debug version - (Egbert Eich). -

Patch #166 - 2002/03/25 - XFree86 4.2.0

correct a bug in selection: double clicking on a word which - was partly scrolled off the screen may select that text (report - by Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.org>). - -
implement veryBoldColors resource to control whether - the corresponding video attribute such as bold is - displayed when using colorBDMode, etc. (request by Josh - Howard <jrh@vicor-nb.com>). - -
define escape sequences for function keys F21-F35 (patch by Steve Wall). - -
change the colors for the 256-color model, making them less skewed - toward black (patch by Steve Wall). - -
add vt100Graphics resource - (see patch #115, - based on discussion with Glenn Maynard). - -
ifdef'd Xaw/Xaw3d/neXtaw includes separately to avoid potential - incompatibilities between these flavors of Athena widgets. - -
add configure check for XFree86 4.x Xaw library, whose geometry - management is broken, to avoid trying to use it for toolbar - configuration. - -
updates to configure script from vile and lynx to allow - configure.in to be compiled with autoconf 2.5x - -
add a check for null pointer return by ptsname() - (newsgroup posting from Mike Silva <mikesilva@lucent.com>). - -
fill in a few details needed to allow UTF-8 mode to switch on/off - after startup. This requires that wideChars resource be - set. (based on comments in 4 Aug 2001 by Alexey Marinichev - <lyosha@lyosha.2y.net>). - -
remove duplicate install rules that make directories, e.g., so installing - manpage will not create app-defaults directory. - -
add comment in in do_osc(), reserving cases 30 and 31 - for for Konsole (request by Stephan Binner - <Stephan.Binner@gmx.de>). - -
fixes for ctlseqs.ms and xterm.man - (patch by Werner LEMBERG <wl@gnu.org>). - -
add check for monochrome display, disabling colorMode in that - case (fixes Debian #134130). - -
resync with XFree86 CVS: -
- Fix some xterm build warnings on *BSD (David Dawes). -
- Only use SA_RESTART in xterm when it's available (Frank Liu). -
- Fix incorrect code in signal handlers in most of the clients, - xterm and xdm not done yet (Matthieu Herrb). -
-

- -

Patch #165 - 2002/01/05 - XFree86 4.1.0

modify uxterm script to strip encoding part from - environment variable before adding ".UTF-8" (based on Debian - #125947, but using a more portable solution). - -
add an assignment statement in VTInitialize() to make - awaitInput resource work. - -
use new macros init_Bres(), etc., in VTInitialize() to add trace of - the initialization of resources. - -
modify checks for $LC_ALL, related environment variables to ensure - the resulting strings are nonempty (report by Markus Kuhn). - -
add an ifdef in charproc.c for num_ptrs variable in case all - configure options are disabled. - -
modify definition of getXtermBackground() to avoid negative array - index warning on Tru64 (report by Jeremie Petit). - -
improve fix from patch #165 (still Debian #117184, report by Matt - Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>) - -
correct install rule for uxterm in Makefile.in, to handle the - case where building in a different directory than xterm's source - (patch by Paul Gilmartin). - -
documented ANSI.SYS-style cursor save/restore escape sequences - in ctlseqs.ms, which are in xterm since X11R5. - -
correct two entries in the default charClass table, which did not - follow the manpage comment about the character number corresponding - to the class (patch by Marc Bevand <bevand_m@epita.fr>). - -
fix a couple of typos in comments in the app-defaults files - (David Krause <xfree86@davidkrause.com>). - -
resync with XFree86 CVS: -
- update language of copyrights in some files to reflect the fact - that they were reassigned from X Consortium to The Open Group in - 1998. Note that this xterm source is derived from the 1996 - version from X Consortium, does not incorporate changes made by X - Consortium or The Open Group after that date, hence we do not add - The Open Group's 1998 copyright date to related files. - -
- save/restore errno in signal catcher (Matthieu Herrb). - -
- modify UXTerm.ad's font5 resource so that xterm can display double - width characters using a font distributed with XFree86 (Tomohiro KUBOTA). -
-

- -

Patch #163 - 2001/11/13 - XFree86 4.1.0

correct a case where ptyInitialErase and - backarrowKeyIsErase resources combine to set - DECBKM mode, but a reset command would not - reset xterm to that state, making the erase character revert to ^H - (Debian #117184) -

- -

Patch #163 - 2001/11/04 - XFree86 4.1.0

correct ifdef's for __QNX__ and - USE_SYSV_PGRP in main.c call to tcsetpgrp, - which broke bash behavior around patch #140 - (report/patch by Frank Liu <fliu@mail.vipstage.com>). - -
modify trace.c to fix missing definition of GCC_UNUSED for - compilers other than gcc when configured for trace code (report/patch - by Paul Gilmartin). - -
change format in TraceOptions() to use long rather than int, since - the latter could lose precision on 64-bit machines (report/patch by - Nelson Beebe). - -
modify xterm manual page and minstall.sh to allow imake rules - to define location of app-defaults directory (Debian #87611). - -
review/update list of conflicting preprocesor symbols to remove - from $CPPFLAGS at the end of the configure script. In particular, - this allows one to configure xterm without the utempter library on - Redhat 7.1 (report/patch by Adam Sulmicki). -

- -

Patch #162 - 2001/10/23 - XFree86 4.1.0

correct logic that processes -class option, so that - a following -e option is handled (Debian #116297). - -
improve options-decoding to allow -version and - -help options to be combined (Debian #110226). - -
add a 10 millisecond delay in event loop when processing - -hold option, to avoid using too much CPU time - (Debian #116213). - -
prefix final program execution in uxterm with "exec" - to avoid a useless shell hanging around (Christian Weisgerber). -

- -

Patch #161 - 2001/10/10 - XFree86 4.1.0

modify logic that resets keypad application mode to avoid doing - this if there is no modifier associated with the Num_Lock keysym - (report by John E Davis <davis@space.mit.edu> and Alan W Irwin - <irwin@beluga.phys.uvic.ca>). - -
add built-in translation for Control/KP_Separator to KP_Subtract, - to accommodate users who wish to use xmodmap to reassign the top - row of the numeric keypad. - -
correct Imakefile install-rule for uxname script - (reported by Nam SungHyun <namsh@lge.com>). - -
resync with XFree86 CVS: correct typo in <ncurses/term.h> - ifdef. -

- -

Patch #160 - 2001/10/7 - XFree86 4.1.0

modify logic in main.c - (see patch #145) to avoid generating the - same identifier, for example, for /dev/tty1 and /dev/pts/1, which - is used to denote an entry in the utmp file (Debian bug report - #84676), A similar fix was also sent by Jerome Borsboom - <borsboom@westbrabant.net> in May, but I overlooked it when - reviewing bug reports. - -
add configure check for <ncurses/term.h> to get - rid of hardcoded __CYGWIN__ ifdef in resize.c -
- NOTE: The CYGWIN port should not be linking resize - with ncurses. It appears that the only reason it is, is because - both the ncurses and termcap ports on that platform are badly - misconfigured (essential pieces have been removed, etc). Checking - for <ncurses/term.h> does not hurt anything, - since there are some correct installations that are set up that - way. - -
add a sample uxterm script, which uses the - UXTerm application defaults for UTF-8 environments. - -
undo change to xterm application defaults, since this introduced an - unnecessary incompatibility. The intended functionality was - already addressed by the UXTerm - app-defaults file. - -
resync with XFree86 CVS: -
- Modified xterm app default to use LFD fontnames instead of old type - (Michael Schroeder). -
- Fix xterm when XIM is disabled - caused a segfault - (Tomohiro Kubota). -
-

- -

Patch #159 - 2001/9/19 - XFree86 4.1.0

remove an ifdef for USE_HANDSHAKE added in patch - #158 from the second TIOCSSIZE ioctl call in the - initialization code. Paul Gilmartin reports that for Solaris 2.6 - (sparc), stty does not show that xterm sets rows and columns unless - the second ioctl is executed. - -
correct treatment of empty parameter list for some OSC strings - (report by Sami Farin <sfarin@ratol.fi>). -

- -

Patch #158 - 2001/9/8 - XFree86 4.1.0

augment key translations for scrollbar widget to ensure that - keystrokes intended for the text area are not lost if the mouse - pointer happens to fall on the scrollbar. This can happen, for - instance, if the user's app-defaults or - .Xdefaults file contains a translations resource, - though it may also happen through unrelated resource settings: - probably a bug in libXt (reported by Paul Fox - <pgf@foxharp.boston.ma.us> and Dmitry Yu. Bolkhovityanov - <D.Yu.Bolkhovityanov@inp.nsk.su>). - -
widen ifdef's in xterm.h to define __EXTENSIONS__ on - Solaris, for compilers other than gcc. This was added along - _POSIX_C_SOURCE with in patch - #151, but is not sufficient since Sun's compiler does not define - __STDC__ by default (report by Matthias Scheler - <tron@zhadum.de>). - -
modify xterm to obtain the closest matching color if an exact color - is not available, e.g., on 8-bit displays (patch by Steve Wall) - -
patch by Tomohiro KUBOTA <tkubota@riken.go.jp> to implement - "OverTheSpot" preedit type of XIM input: -
- This preedit type is a reasonable compromise between - simpleness of implementation and usefulness. "Root" preedit - type is easy to implement but not useful; "OnTheSpot" preedit - type is the best in the point of view of user interface but - very complex. And more, "OverTheSpot" is the preedit type - which the most XIM servers support. Thus, to achieve reasonable - usability, support of "OverTheSpot" preedit type is needed. - -
- In "OverTheSpot" preedit type, the preedit (preconversion) - string is displayed at the position of the cursor. On the - other hand, it is XIM server's responsibility to display - the preedit string. Thus, it is needed for XIM client (here - XTerm) to inform the XIM server of the cursor position. - And more, to achieve good visual proportion, preedit string - must be written using proper font. Thus, it is XIM client's - responsibility to inform the XIM server of the proper font. - The font must be supplied by "fontset". Fontset is a set of - fonts with charsets which are specified by the current locale. - Since XTerm uses ISO10646 fonts regardless of the current locale, - the fonts for XIM must be prepared separately. It is difficult - to prepare fonts which are similar to XTerm font. Thus, my - patch uses a simple way - the default font is "*" which matches - every fonts and X library will automatically choose fonts with - proper charsets. I added "-fx" command option and "ximFont" - resource to override this default font setting. - -
- changed the definition of "OverTheSpot" preedit type - from XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusArea - to XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusNothing. - This matches the behavior of other programs such as - Rxvt, Kterm, Gedit. - -
- A tiny XIM bugfix is also included. By calling XSetLocaleModifiers() - with parameter of "", it can consier XMODIFIERS environmental - variable which is a standard way for users to specify XIM server - to be used. -
- -
adjust configure script to accommodate repackaging of keysym2ucs.c - as include-file for xutf8.c (patch by Tomohiro KUBOTA - <kubota@debian.org>). - -
add the UXTerm app-defaults file to makefile install - rules (request by Juliusz Chroboczek). - -
correct logic in get_termcap(), which returned false - if the tgetent() call indicated that xterm was linked - with terminfo. Although the $TERMCAP variable cannot be - adjusted in this case, xterm still needs information from this call - to extract data to initialize the erase-mode when the - ptyInitialErase resource is false. - -
modify ScrollbarReverseVideo() function to cache the - original border color, so it can restore that when an application - flashes the screen (Bugzilla #38872). - -
resync with XFree86 CVS: -
- remove ifdef's for X_NOT_STDC_ENV (David Dawes). -
- add Cygwin to special errno handling case in ptydata.c (Alan Hourihane) -
- set screen size earlier in initialization, to address a race - with window manager resizing its clients (Keith Packard). -
-

- -

Patch #157 - 2001/6/18 - XFree86 4.1.0

patch by Juliusz Chroboczek to clean up button.c and input.c. The - basic idea is to use a single set of APIs in the XTerm core, and put - a set of workarounds in a separate file. As you will notice, this - drastically simplifies parts of the code; in particular, the only - remaining ifdefs related to the differences between Xutf8 and legacy - systems are related to the selection provider logic. - - This defines two new files, xutf8.h and xutf8.c, provide some - half-hearted but fully portable emulation for the three Xutf8* - functions that XTerm uses. - - Putting these in a separate file will allow people to experiment with - more complex versions without making the core of XTerm more difficult - to maintain. - - The functionality of the emulation is as follows. -
- Xutf8TextListToTextProperty fully handles XStringstyle and - XUTF8StringStyle. It will only generate STRING for XStdICCTextStyle, - and wil only generate Latin-1 in XCompoundTextStyle (but label it as - COMPOUND_TEXT, as the spec requires). (I have hesitated to make this - function fail for XStdICCTextStyle and XCompoundTextStyle; this might - be a smart thing to do, in the hope that the selection requestor will - try UTF8_STRING afterwards; opinions?) - -
- Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList fully handles STRING and UTF8_STRING. - It systematically fails for COMPOUND_TEXT. - -
- Xutf8LookupString will properly handle single-keystroke input for - the keysyms covered by Markus' keysym2ucs function. It will not - handle either compose key input or external input methods. -
- -
add an ifdef for SunXK_F36, used in - xtermcapKeycode() (patch by Mark Waggoner - <waggoner@ichips.intel.com>). - -
modify check for login name to try getlogin() and - $LOGNAME, $USER environment variables to detect if the user has - logged in under an alias, i.e., an account with the same user id - but a different name (Debian bug report #70084). - -
add resource tiXtraScroll, which can be used to - preserve the screen contents in the scrollback rather than erasing - it when starting a fullscreen application such as vi - (patch by Ken Martin <fletcher@catsreach.org>). - -
two patches by Denis Zaitsev <zzz@cd-club.ru>: -
- added forceBoxChars resource to control the - "line-drawing characters" option. - -
- added freeBoldBox resource, which, when set true, - suppresses check in same_font_size(), so xterm does - not attempt to ensure that the bold font is the same size as - the normal font. -
- -
change the color class for ANSI colors and similar ones such as - bold-color, etc., to follow the convention that the classname is the - instance name with a leading capital (e.g., color0 and - Color0 rather than color0 and - Foreground). There was little use for Foreground as a - class other than to create occasional confusion and bug reports, most - recently by Nelson Beebe who reports that it disables colors in xterm - but not on Linux, which is probably due to a difference in resource - evaluation order. A configure script option (--disable-color-class) - is provided for anyone who did use the older behavior. - -
fix a signal-handling bug. When running xterm with - ksh or similar shell such as bash 2.05, xterm will hang - and not respond to keystrokes after the user types - suspend. Additionally the popup menus do not respond, - so it is not possible to send SIGCONT to the shell. - What is happening is that the shell is sending itself SIGSTOP, and it - is being stopped. Per specification it also means that the operating - system is sending SIGCHLD to parent to the bash (XTERM). - Now the issue is that xterm assumes it cannot happen and it expects - to receive SIGCHLD only upon termination of its children. - This causes a deadlock with xterm waiting for the child to - die, and the child waiting for SIGCONT. - (report/patch by Adam Sulmicki), analysis/testing by Sven Mascheck - <sven.mascheck@student.uni-ulm.de>). - -
correct some inconsistent checks for XtReleaseGC() - calls in xtermLoadFont() (patch by Nam SungHyun - <namsh@lge.com>). - -
updated wcwidth.c and keysym2ucs.c to versions dated 2001/1/12 - and 2001/4/18, respectively from - http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/ - -
correction to change from patch #90, - which was intended to - reset the saved cursor position for normal/alternate screens - on a soft reset, but actually wiped out all of the saved cursor - information. Just reset the saved position for the current screen - (report by Michael Schroeder). - -
modify ShowCursor() and HideCursor() so that if the cursor points - to the second part of a wide character, make the show/hide operate on - the first position of the wide character (patch by Sven Verdoolaege). - -
scrolling in the alternate screen just before switching back to the - main screen can cause extra blank lines to be inserted into the - scrollback buffer (patch by Paul Vojta - <vojta@math.berkeley.edu>). - -
resync with XFree86 4.1.0: -
- Use TermcapLibrary as -lncurses instead of -ltermcap, fixes - problem building xterm/resize on Cygwin/XFree86 (Harold Hunt). -
- Install xterm.termcap and xterm.terminfo when installing xterm - (Torrey T. Lyons). -
- Fix some build issues on Cygwin/XFree86 (Suhaib Siddiqi). -
- Define CBAUD, when it's missing in xterm, on LynxOS - (Stuart Lissaman). -
-

Patch #156 - 2001/4/28 - XFree86 4.0.3

change order of selection-target types to make 8-bit xterm prefer - UTF8_STRING to COMPOUND_TEXT (patch by Juliusz Chroboczek). - -
document -fa, -fs command-line options - and faceName, faceSize - resources which are used by the freetype library support. - -
if configure script finds freetype libraries, but imake definitions - do not have the XRENDERFONT definition, define it anyway. - -
modify configure script check for freetype libraries to include - <Xlib.h>, since an older version of the related - headers relies on this (patch by Adam Sulmicki). -

- -

Patch #155 - 2001/4/20 - XFree86 4.0.3

correct return type of in_put() from patch #153 - changes, which left it not wide enough for UTF-8 (patch by Bruno Haible). -

- -

Patch #154 - 2001/4/11 - XFree86 4.0.3

undo check for return value from pututline (used for - debugging) since that function does not return a value on Slackware - 3.6. - -
correct length in ScreenWrite, when rendering invisible text - (patch by Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>). - -
fixes/improvements for the i18nSelection resource - from patch #153, by Bruno Haible: - -
- add missing initialization for i18nSelection - resource. - -
- split-out the non-ICCM aspect of the - i18nSelection resource as a new resource, - brokenSelections. -
- -
add configure check for <time.h> and - <sys/time.h>, to allow for Unixware 7, - which requires both. If the configure script is not used, only - <time.h> will be included as before (report - by Thanh Ma). - -
fix redefinition of dup2, getutent, - getutid, getutline and sleep - functions on Unixware 7 (report by Thanh Ma - <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>) - -
add a fall-back definition for __hpux, which is - apparently not defined in some compilers on HPUX 11.0 (reported - by Clint Olsen). - -
change VAL_INITIAL_ERASE, which is used as a fallback for the - "kb" termcap string to 8, since that matches the - xterm terminal description (request by Alexander V Lukyanov). - -
correct an off-by-one in ClearInLine, which caused - the erase-characters (ECH) control to display incorrectly - (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov). - -
correct escape sequences shown in terminfo for shifted editing - keys. The modifier code was for the control key rather than - the shift key. -

- -

Patch #153 - 2001/3/29 - XFree86 4.0.3

increase PTYCHARLEN to 8 for os390, add some debugging traces - for UTMP functions (patch by Paul Gilmartin). - -
correct an misplaced brace in SelectionReceived() - (patch by Bruno Haible). - -
correct an assignment dropped in SelectionReceived() - which made it not compile for wide-characters combined with debug - traces. - -
correct typo, clarify description of 88- and 256-color controls - (report by Bram Moolenaar). - -
correct a typo in ctlseqs.ms which caused DEC Locator control - sequences using single quote "'" display grave "`" instead (reported - by Paul Williams, apparently in patch #114). -

- -

Patch #152 - 2001/3/13 - XFree86 4.0.2

correct index in inner loop in VTInitI18N() from - patch #151 changes, which resulted in infinite loop under some - conditions (report/analysis by Paul Gilmartin). - -
remove spurious "%|" from terminfo sgr capabilities - (report/analysis by Adam M Costello, Debian bug #89222). - -
add shell script to adjust list of dynamic libraries linked by - resize when building with the standalone configure - script. Otherwise it uses the same list as for xterm, which is - excessive. - -
fix a few compiler warnings reported by the 20010305 gcc snapshot. -

- -

Patch #151 - 2001/3/10 - XFree86 4.0.2

patch from Juliusz Chroboczek <jch@pps.jussieu.fr> which - alters the behaviour of selections in XTerm. - It is believed to follow the ICCCM + UTF8_STRING to the letter, both - in UTF-8 and in eight-bit mode. From his description: -
- When compiled against XFree86 4.0.2, the patched XTerm will make - the selection available as COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING or UTF8_STRING in - both modes. It will request selections in the following order: -
  - UTF-8 mode: UTF8_STRING, TEXT, COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING.
  - eight-bit mode: TEXT, COMPOUND_TEXT, UTF8_STRING, STRING. - -
- When compiled against an earlier version of XFree86 (or compiled with - OPT_UTF8_API=0), it will still obey the ICCCM, but will neither - request nor provide UTF8_STRING in eight-bit mode, and neither TEXT - nor COMPOUND_TEXT in UTF-8 mode. -
- For compatibility with previous versions of XTerm, a resource - i18nSelections is provided, please see the manpage for - details. However, due to an unexpected combination of ICCCM - extensions by various bits and pieces of the libraries, interacting - with previous versions of XTerm will work in many locales even - without this flag. (Please do not set this resource to true by - default, as this would violate the ICCCM.) -
- -
improved error checking/reporting in VTInitI18N(), ensuring that - lack of input method styles is treated distinctly from a mismatch. - -
remove an incorrect ifdef from patch #141 which suppressed - overstriking to simulate bold font when xterm was compiled to support - wide characters (report/analysis by Adam M Costello - <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, fixes Debian bugs #76404, #77575). - -
modify RequestResize() function to save/restore window - manager hints. Its call to XtMakeResizeRequest() had - the undesirable side-effect of clearing window manager hints, e.g., - when switching to 132-columns via DECCOLM escape sequence. Window - manager hints make it simple to resize xterm in terms of character - cells rather than pixels (reported by Christian Weisgerber as well - as Debian bug #79939). -
- This applies to the normal configuration. When built with toolbar - support, the hints are applied to a different widget level (more - work will be needed to make hints work with the toolbar). - -
fix a redefinition warning for resize.c on OpenBSD (patch by - Christian Weisgerber). - -
change resource corresponding to -T option to match - Xt library's -title, i.e., .title - rather than *title so the command-line options are - interchangeable as documented (Debian bug report #68843). - -
add script used from autoconf'd makefile for installing manpages, - since recent XFree86 changing the way section numbers are represented - makes the install dependent on extra scripts. - -
add configure check for freetype libraries and configure option - --disable-freetype to override this feature. - -
modify some configure script macros to avoid using changequote(), - which has been rendered useless in the latest autoconf alpha 2.49c - -
update config.guess, config.sub to 2001-2-13 - -
remove redundant/contradictory __CYGWIN__ definitions from resize.c - -
correct manpage typo introduced by X11R6.5 resync. -

- Changes from XFree86 4.0.2: -

add definition of _POSIX_C_SOURCE for Solaris to - make this compile with gcc -ansi -pedantic (report - by <mark@zang.com>. -

- -

Patch #150 - 2000/12/29 - XFree86 4.0.2

move the binding for shifted keypad plus/minus, which invokes the - larger-vt-font() and smaller-vt-font() - actions, respectively, into the translations resource (suggested by - Marius Gedminas <mgedmin@puni.osf.lt>). - -
modify configure script to support the - --program-prefix, --program-suffix and - --program-transform-name options (request by Alison - Winters <alison@mirrabooka.com>). - -
patch from Robert Brady -
- fix a scrolling / combining characters display anomaly - -
- fix a problem with double-width characters where if the primary - font had no box-drawing characters, the right hand half of - double-width characters was erased (reported by Yao Zhang - <yzhang@sharemedia.com>). - -
- fix special case of null byte for key handling in UTF-8 locales. -
- -
modify logic that compares sizes of normal and bold fonts to be - more forgiving of the font server's choice of bold font which must - match the normal font's size. Now same_font_size() - compares the height of the fonts rather than individually ascent and - descent, and allows the bold font to be one pixel smaller than the - normal font (addresses a report by Alan Citterman - <alan@mticket.com>, who says that something in patches #146 to - #148 made xterm more likely to overstrike bold fonts, and indirectly - Debian bug report #76404, which reports the opposite). - -
make configure script use $CFLAGS and $CPPFLAGS consistently, - including removing a chunk from configure.in which attempted to - save/restore $CPPFLAGS while processing value set by the --x-includes - option, but lost values set in an intervening AC_CHECK_HEADERS. This - change modifies macros CF_ADD_CFLAGS, CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK and - CF_X_TOOLKIT, as well as removing variables IMAKE_CFLAGS and X_CFLAGS - from the generated makefile (the AC_CHECK_HEADERS problem was - reported by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com<). - -
correct a comparison in SELECTWORD case of ComputeSelect(), which - resulted in a word-selection wrapping past the first column without - checking the first column's character class (reported by Christian - Lacunza <celacunza@netscape.net> - -
correct a logic in UTF-8 mode for selecting double-width characters; - a combining character was omitted (patch by Markus Kuhn). - -
add feature to pop (raise) window when a bell is received - (patch by Gael Roualland <gael.roualland@dial.oleane.com>). - -
add __NetBSD__ and __OpenBSD__ to special-case in xterm_io.h - for USE_POSIX_TERMIOS definition (patch by Christian Weisgerber). - -
move special-case HPUX include for <sys/bsdtty.h> to - xterm_io.h to define TIOCSLTC, making HAS_LTCHARS defined for HPUX - 10.20 (report by Bruno Betro). -

- -

Patch #149 - 2000/12/6 - XFree86 4.0.1h

restructured includes for termios.h, - termio.h and related definitions for main.c, os2main.c, - screen.c and resize.c so they will share equivalent definitions in a - new header xterm_io.h. This is intended to solve some - problems mainly for HPUX which appear to arise from inconsistent - definitions for SIGWINCH- and HAS_LTCHARS-related symbols (reports - by Bruno Betro, Jeremie Petit and Clint Olsen). - -
improve usability of double-width fonts by allowing normal fonts - to be given as double-width (from a patch by Fabrice Bellard - <bellard@email.enst.fr>). - -
correct a few compiler warnings in TRACE() macros for - signed/unsigned variable differences (reported by Clint Olsen). - -
make configure script use $CFLAGS and $CPPFLAGS more consistently, - i.e., by using CF_ADD_CFLAGS in CF_ANSI_CC macro. - -
expanded description of environment variables in manual-page. - -
modify OPT_TCAP_QUERY feature to always return the termcap or - terminfo capability string in the response, and to read/write the - names in hexadecimal form to allow for the special case of termcap's - k; name (patch by Bram Moolenaar). - -
add OPT_SAME_NAME and OPT_TCAP_QUERY to xtermcfg.hin, so the - corresponding configure options work (patch by Bram Moolenaar). - -
resync with XFree86 4.0.1g: -
- Rewrite Xft library for Render extension/core text and font management - Change xterm to use new interface (Keith Packard). -
-

- -

Patch #148 - 2000/10/31 - XFree86 4.0.1d

document logfile options in man-page. - -
correct spelling of -samename option in help message. - -
add configure script option --enable-tcap-query - (request by Bram Moolenaar). - -
patch by Bram Moolenaar to add a - "Co" or "colors" entry to the OPT_TCAP_QUERY feature. -
patch by Kiyokazu SUTO <suto@ks-and-ks.ne.jp>: -
- add support for bold font for double width characters. - The font name may be specified with the command line option - -fwb or with resource - wideBoldFont (class WideBoldFont). -
- correct underlining of double width character string, which - was drawn only half width. -
- correct binary search of precomposed character table, which - may return wrong result when int is just 32 bits. -
- -
some changes to align terminfo with ncurses 5.2: -
- remove xtermm description, retaining xterm-mono since the former - conflicts with ncurses. -
- modify initialization and reset strings to avoid putting the - save/restore cursor operations bracketing changes to video - attributes, since the changes could be lost when the cursor is - restored. This affects xterm-r6 and xterm-8bit (the xterm-xfree86 - entry uses the soft-reset feature which resets scrolling margins - and origin mode without requiring us to save/restore the cursor - position). -
- make a few entries explicitly inherit from xterm-xfree86 rather - than xterm: xterm-rep, xterm-xmc, xterm-nrc -
- -
ensure that sign-extension does not affect ctype - macros by using CharOf() macro to coerce the parameter - to an unsigned char. - -
resync with XFree86 4.0.1d: -
- Add primitive support in xterm for Xft based fonts (Keith Packard). - The changes are ifdef'd with -DXRENDERFONT. -
-

- -

Patch #147 - 2000/10/26 - XFree86 4.0.1c

correct implementation of ptyInitialErase: the - value assigned to initial_erase was for the control - terminal, which is correct as far as it goes. But there was no - following test for the pseudo-terminal's erase value, which would - overwrite the default obtained from the control terminal - (reported by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.inka.de>). - -
modify check for printable-characters in OSC string to use xterm's - ansi_table rather than isprint() macro, to isolate this check from - locale settings. This fixes a problem using 8-bit characters to - set the title (reported by Ricardas Cepas <rch@richard.eu.org>). - -
modify sample scripts to check for printf before print, since the - latter is not as well standardized (e.g., on Linux). - -
updated config.sub, config.guess to reflect changes on - subversions.gnu.org -

- -

Patch #146 - 2000/9/12 - XFree86 4.0.1c

correct two instances overlooked from patch #141 which assumed - UTF-8 mode without checking, causing a core dump in non-UTF-8 mode - (one instance was reported by Tommi Virtanen <tv@debian.org>). - -
correct a problem selecting from the scrollback buffer in UTF-8 - mode by changing remaining getXtermCell() calls to XTERM_CELL() as in - the non-UTF-8 cases (report by Markus Kuhn, patch by Robert Brady). -

- -

Patch #145 - 2000/9/11 - XFree86 4.0.1c

several changes from Robert Brady for UTF-8 configuration: -
- doublewide characters don't lose their accents when the cursor - moves onto or from them (a visual bug) - -
- fix logic in addXtermCombining, which mean that if the low byte - of a cell's first combining char was 0, a following combining char - would go into combining slot 1, not 2. - -
- modify logic for cut-buffers so UTF-8 data is first converted - to Latin1. - -
- collapse surrogates, 0xfffe, 0xffff to UCS_REPL. - -
- modify to allow xterm to to show combining characters - attached to doublewidth characters. - -
- correct bug in linewrap with -u8 option (reported by - Andreas Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>). -
- -
several changes to PTY logic (based on request by Tim Ryan - <timryan@nortelnetworks.com>). -
- modify treatment of -S option to to make it work with - Unix98 PTY's. - -
- restore sense of IsPts flag in get_pty(), which was - lost in Unix98 changes. - -
- use new functions my_pty_id() and - my_pty_name() to simplify/fix strings used for utmp, - wtmp identifiers. - -
- simplify get_pty() function, making it have a single - return point so its inputs/outputs can be identified. -
- -
update config.guess and config.sub and scripts to my 20000819 patch, - adding cases for OS/2 EMX. - -
add special case for os390 compiler options to configure script - (patch by Paul Gilmartin) - -
fix some unused-variable compiler warnings (reported by - Zdenek Sekera). - -
split-out some string functions into xstrings.c, to use them - more consistently among main.c, os2main.c and resize.c - -
align termcap/terminfo files, adding entries to make them match. - The termcap entries are necessarily less complete than the terminfo, - to fit within 1023 character per entry. - -
add terminfo entry for xterm-sco (SCO function keys). - -
modify same_font_name() to properly handle wildcard - introduced in bold_font_name(), making comparison for - different fonts succeed when only the normal font is specified. This - is needed to decide if 1-pixel offset should be used. (reported - in a newsgroup by Bart Oldeman <enbeo@enbeo.resnet.bris.ac.uk>) - -
correct preprocessor line for OPT_WIDE_CHARS in drawXtermText() - from patch #141 which resulted in overstriking for bold fonts not - working. - -
correct Imakefile from 4.0.1c resync so UTF-8 modules are in - UTF8SRC, UTF8OBJ lists, allowing build without UTF-8 support. -

- -

Patch #144 - 2000/8/23 - XFree86 4.0.1b

remove a spurious assignment in ScreenWrite() from Robert Brady's - patch which set a null at the "end" of the buffer to be written. - That made the autowrap feature write a blank in the first column for - the non-UTF-8 configuration, rather than the actual character - (reported by Alan Citterman <alan@mticket.com>). -

- -

Patch #143 - 2000/8/19 - XFree86 4.0.1b

add a check to ensure that -class command-line option - is not confused with -c (reported by Paul Townsend - <aab@aab.cc.purdue.edu>). -

- -

Patch #142 - 2000/8/18 - XFree86 4.0.1b

correction to precompose scripts, so 0061 + 0300 will now be really - be displayed as 00C0 (patch by Robert Brady - <robert@susu.org.uk>). - -
correct macro ClassSelects() in button.c, used to hide ifdef's for - OPT_WIDE_CHARS in patch #141 (reported by Andreas Paul - <paula@informatik.tu-muenchen.de>). - -
change wcwidth.h to include stddef.h rather than wchar.h, which is - not present on OpenBSD and FreeBSD (reported by Christian - Weisgerber and Bram Moolenaar). - -
newer config.sub and config.guess, from lynx 2.8.4dev.7 -

- -

Patch #141 - 2000/8/14 - XFree86 4.0.1b

Most of this patch is an integration of Robert Brady's patch #11 - for doublewidth and combining characters, from - http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~rwb197/xterm/. In this context, - doublewidth refers to 16-bit character sets which may have glyphs - occupying two cells. - -
add command-line option -class, which allows one - to override xterm's resource class. Also add resource file - UXTerm.ad, which simplifies using xterm for both - 8-bit character sets and UTF-8. - -
fixes/improvements to OPT_TCAP_QUERY logic (patches by Bram - Moolenaar, Steve Wall). -

- -

Patch #140 - 2000/7/23 - XFree86 4.0.1

modify Makefile.in to circumvent GNU make's built-in suffix rule - for ".sh" which confuses install.sh with the "make install" target - (report/patch by Paul Gilmartin). - -
implement an experimental control sequence which an application may - use to query the terminal to determine what sequence of characters it - would send for a given function key. This is ifdef'd with - OPT_TCAP_QUERY (request by Bram Moolenaar). - -
add /usr/local to search path in CF_X_ATHENA configure macro - to build with Xaw3d on OpenBSD (patch by Christian Weisgerber). - -
add missing #undef HAVE_TERMIO_C_ISPEED to - xtermcfg.hin, omitted in patch #133 fix for IRIX 6.5 baudrate (report - by Alain Filbois <Alain.Filbois@loria.fr>). - -
correct a few errors in xterm.man: font in filename example for - Tektronix emulation, and description of -nul/+nul command-line - options (report by Eric Fischer <enf@pobox.com>). - -
update config.guess and config.sub (from tin and lynx) -

- -

Patch #139 - 2000/6/17 - XFree86 4.0d

back out change to -name command-line option, - restoring its original behavior (as noted by David Madore, the - correct interpretation of this option is the application instance - rather than the application class). -

- -

Patch #138 - 2000/6/15 - XFree86 4.0c

workaround for fixed fonts which are generated from Unicode fonts: - they omit glyphs for some xterm's less-used line-drawing characters, - which caused xterm to set a flag telling it to use only its internal - line-drawing characters. Do not set the flag (it can be set from the - popup menu), and xterm will generate only the line-drawing glyphs - which actually are missing. -
- Otherwise, when used for large fonts, xterm may generate a 2-pixel - wide line, which can leave dots on the screen. - -
restore first line of 256colres.pl, omitted in 4.0c diffs. -

Patch #137 - 2000/6/10 - XFree86 4.0b

make command-line -name option work as documented. - Apparently this was lost in X11R5 when coding to use - XtAppInitialize. - -
limit numeric parameters of control sequences to 65535 to - simplify checks for numeric overflow. - -
change index into UDK list to unsigned to guard against numeric - overflow making the index negative (Taneli Huuskonen - <huuskone@cc.helsinki.fi>). - -
change sun function-keys resource name to - sunFunctionKeys to work around redefinition of the - token sun by xrdb on Solaris. Similarly, renamed - resource sun keyboard to sunKeyboard - (Steve Wall). - -
change similar resource names for HP and SCO to avoid potential - conflict with xrdb symbols on other systems, as well as for - consistency. - -
reorganized the install targets in the autoconf'd Makefile, adding - install-app, install-bin, install-dirs and install-man. The - app-defaults class can be overridden by setting the make variable - 'CLASS', simplifying customization of xterm as a Unicode terminal, - e.g., CLASS=UXTerm. - -
add limit checks to ClearInLine(), - ScrnInsertChar(), ScrnDeleteChar() to - correct potential out-of-bounds indexing (prompted by Debian bug - report #64713, which reported a problem with ICH escape sequences). - -
updates to config.sub and config.guess - Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> for elf64_ia64 - Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> and MacOS X. - -
patch from Paul Gilmartin for os390 to check for errno set to - ENODEV on failure to open /dev/tty when there is no controlling - terminal. - -
patch from H Merijn Brand <h.m.brand@hccnet.nl> for - building on Digital Unix 4.0 and AIX 4.2. - -
modify DECRQSS reply for DECSCL to additionally report if the - terminal is set for 8-bit controls. -

- -

Patch #136 - 2000/6/3 - XFree86 4.0b

add a resource (limitResize) - limiting resizing via the CSI 4 t and CSI 8 t sequences. - -
ignore out-of-bounds resize requests, i.e., where sign-extension - or truncation of the parameters would occur. -

- -

Patch #135 - 2000/5/29 - XFree86 4.0b

remove code introduced in #134 which made some backgrounds bold. - -
minor correction to format of updated $TERMCAP when adding - kb capability for ptyInitialErase logic. - -
improved test for SVR4 definition. -

- -

Patch #134 - 2000/5/28 - XFree86 4.0b

update URL's and mailing addresses, moved to http://dickey.his.com - and dickey@herndon4.his.com - -
correct missing quotes in CF_TTY_GROUP configure script macro in - case the script is run in batch mode. - -
modify ownership-check of log file to ignore the group ownership. - Otherwise xterm cannot create logfiles in directories with set-gid - permissions. - -
simplify the logic that reads termcap data. - -
add fallback definition for B9600 in case line speed definition - for 38400 is missing (report by Jack J Woehr <jwoehr@ibm.net>, - for OpenBSD 2.6). - -
fix: Set highlightColor, and select a region containing the text - cursor. If the window loses focus, the cursor becomes hollow, with - the region inside the cursor being background/foreground, unlike the - rest of the selection, which is foreground/highlight - (patch by Ross Paterson <ross@soi.city.ac.uk>). - -
add configure script tests to define SVR4, SYSV and USE_POSIX_WAIT, - which enables xterm to compile on Solaris 7 and SCO Openserver - without imake, though there are still a few features for the latter - which require sco to be predefined. - -
patches from Steve Wall: -
- add support for two Sun-specific function keys. These keys are - labeled F11 and F12 on Sun Type 5 keyboards, but return SunXK_F36 and - SunXK_F37. Support will only be compiled in if the header file - <X11/Sunkeysym.h> exists and contains the appropriate symbol - definitions. The keycodes for the DEC keycodes were arbitrary unused - codes, but the ones for the Sun keycodes are what cmdtool and - shelltool actually send. - -
- add colorRV and colorRVMode resources to - allow specifying a color to use for reverse video, similar to the - existing UL, BD, and BL modes. - -
- add alwaysUseMods resource, to override check if - alt or meta modifiers are used in - translations resource. Revamped the code to calculate - the modifier value, and included Meta if alwaysUseMods is TRUE, using - values 9-16. -
- -
patches from Paul Gilmartin for os390: -
- regularize the definition of CONTROL() and remove an - acknowledged "trial and error" table. - -
- translate "^?" into A2E(0177) which is the EBCDIC "DEL" - rather than plain 0177 which is the EBCDIC quotation mark. - -
- modify xtermMissingChar() so that EBCDIC codes 128-159 - are not rendered as blanks by X server running on Solaris, which sees - those as control characters. - -
- make debugging traces (configure --enable-trace) - work properly with EBCDIC. -
-

- -

Patch #133 - 2000/5/2 - XFree86 4.0a

add substitutions in autoconf'd Makefile for CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and - AWK (reported by Neil Bird). - -
correct uninitialized childstat variable from patch - #131 in creat_as() function, which caused logging to not - work on Solaris, whose waitpid() function does not - initialize its parameter. Add check for EINTR on return from - waitpid() as well (reported by Neil Bird - <neil.bird@rdel.co.uk>). - -
remove a redundant check for working setuid() function - introduced in patch #132 (Greg Smith reports that this does not work - as intended on os390). - -
change line speed from 9600bd to 38400bd, to accommodate people who - mistakenly use $TERM set to vt100, to reduce the effect of - padding associated with this terminal type. - -
add configure script check for IRIX 6.5's redefinition of baud - rates associated with struct termio, to correct a - situation where the baud rate was initialized to zero (reported by - Andrew Isaacson <adi@lcse.umn.edu>). - -
remove unused configure script check for VDISABLE. -

- -

Patch #132 - 2000/4/11 - XFree86 4.0a

undo an incorrect change from patch #113 caused the right scrollbar - to be positioned incorrectly when re-enabling it (analysis by - D Roland Walker). - -
add ctrlFKeys resource, replacing constant for adjusting - control-F1 to control-F12 to VT220-style F10-F20. The resource - changes the constant 12 to a default value of 10 (request by - Jim Knoble <jmknoble@pobox.com>). - -
correct ifdef'ing for conflict between definitions in AIX's - <sys/select.h> and <X11/XPoll.h> (reported by Clint - Olsen). - -
add checks for return-values of getutid(), initgroups() and - setuid() in main.c, as well as modifying ifdef's for __osf__ to - include tty-group and WTMP logic (adapted from patch by Paul Szabo - <psz@maths.usyd.edu.au>) - -
modify resize.c to build and work on os390 (uses EBCDIC) - (adapted from patch by Phil Sidler <Phil.Sidler@airborne.com>) - -
use Ires(), Bres() and Sres() macros to simplify resource list in - charproc.c - -
resync with XFree86 4.0a: -
- correct a typo in os2main.c (Holger Veit, from 4.0a). -
-

- -

Patch #131 - 2000/3/3 - XFree86 3.9.18b

integrate patch by Branden Robinson for improving logfile - security: -
- make the creat_as() function more strict by using - O_EXCL rather than O_APPEND. -
- fixes to make DEBUG ifdef's compile/run, including making the - debug logfile more unique by appending a timestamp to its name. -
- include <term.h> in resize.c, to fix a missing-prototype - warning. -
- -
modified creat_as() a little more, retaining the - ability to append to a logfile If the user specifies the name. - Also, check if the opened file (which patch #130 ensures is - owned by the effective user) is not writable by other users. - -
use creat_as() logic to make tek4014 screen-copy - more secure (noted by Branden Robinson). - -
ifdef'd some of Branden's changes to build/work on older machines. - -
correct missing initialization of the .mode flag in - ColorRes struct, from patch #129. This worked on Linux - because malloc() zeroes memory on that platform - (reported by Christian Weisgerber). - -
modify logic for deleteIsDEL resource so it has - internally 3 states: unspecified, true and false. If unspecified, - the keyboard type determines whether the Delete key transmits - <esc>[3~ or \177, and the popup menu - entry reflects the internal state. Otherwise, the popup menu entry - overrides the keyboard type (suggested by Dr Werner Fink, to make it - simpler to set resources that imitate the legacy X11R6 xterm). -

- -

Patch #130 - 2000/3/1 - XFree86 3.9.18a

modify scroll-forw() and scroll-back() - actions, adding a third parameter which will direct xterm to ignore - the action when mouse reporting is enabled. This is needed for - the wheel mouse to be used to report to the application rather than - scroll the window. - -
add menu entry and action to allow disabling xterm's assumption - that the current font contains line-drawing characters if the - font cells 1-31 are nonempty. Some fonts may have other characters - (reported by Bruno Betro <bruno@iami.mi.cnr.it>). - -
add a check in creat_as() to ensure that the user - really owns the logfile that has been opened. - -
add logic to implement SCO function-keys. (This is really - incomplete, since I intend to revisit this and make xterm able to - emulate scoansi better than just the function-keys). - -
add configure script option --enable-sco-fkeys, minor related fixes - (patch by Dr Werner Fink). - -
fix typos in ctlseqs.ms (reported by Bram Moolenaar) - -
fix typo in sinstall.sh default for $TST_PROG (reported by - Paul Gilmartin <pg@sweng.stortek.com>) -

- -

Patch #129 - 2000/2/26 - XFree86 3.9.18a

improve initialization of ANSI colors by delaying allocation until - each color is first used. - -
remove ifdef that prevented colorBD/colorUL/colorBL resources from - working when 256-color configuration was built (reported by - Todd Larason). - -
fix some minor inconsistencies in terminfo (Debian #58530). -

- -

Patch #128 - 2000/2/17 - XFree86 3.9.18

correct logic for oldXtermFKeys resource, fixes a core - dump when attempting to set it from the command-line (reported by Dr - Werner Fink). -
correct ifdef for meta-sends-escap so configure --disable-num-lock - builds. -

- -

Patch #127 - 2000/2/12 - XFree86 3.9.17e

add resource, popup menu entry and control sequence to allow - changing the Delete key to send either DEL or the VT220-style - Remove escape sequence. - -
remove logic for metaSendsEscape that would allow xterm to send - <esc>[3~ before a function key that would begin - with <esc>[3~ (request by Christian Weisgerber). - -
add missing action and documentation for meta-sends-escape. - -
correct a few typos in ctlseqs.ms (incorrect code for Cyan color) -

- -

Patch #126 - 2000/2/8 - XFree86 3.9.17c

patch by Markus Kuhn: - ensure that xterm will automatically activate the UTF-8 mode whenever - the name of the locale environment variable suggests that a UTF-8 - locale is in use. This will help that by simply setting LC_CTYPE an - entire system can be switched over to UTF-8, without users having to - remember the UTF-8 command line options ("-u8", etc.) of the various - applications. Command line options and X resource entries can still - be used to override this default choice. - -
add old function-keys control sequences and popup menu entry, for - compatibility with legacy X11R6 xterm. - -
revert translation of editing keypad "Delete" key to legacy \177. - -
simplify the color-resource data expressions with macro COLOR_RES, - for later use in restructuring color initialization. - -
change encoding of wheel mouse (buttons 4 and 5) to avoid conflict - with legacy mouse modifiers (suggested by Bram Moolenaar). -

- -

Patch #125 - 2000/1/31 - XFree86 3.9.17c

integrate patch by David Mathog - <mathog@seqaxp.bio.caltech.edu> to make this work on OpenVMS - -
rename some functions, e.g., Index to - xtermIndex so that ports such as VMS which link - externals ignoring case will not have library conflicts (reported by - David Mathog). - -
correct logic of do_reversevideo(), which did not - update the corresponding popup menu check mark (reported by David - Mathog, this was a detail overlooked in patch #94). - -
change TRACE macro so semicolon is not within definition, making - indent and similar programs work better. - -
add depend rule to Makefile.in - -
modify logic of boldColors resource to suppress it if an extended - color control has been used, e.g., for 88-color or 256-color mode - (patch by Todd Larason). - -
revise logic that handles menus and input translation for keyboard - type so only one can be selected at a time. - -
restore kdch1=\177 for the Sun function-key type, and make the - the Delete key send DEL (\177) if the oldXtermFKeys resource is set. - -
rephrase logic and ifdef's for POSIX VDISABLE to avoid preprocessor - expression that will not compile on NetBSD/x86 1.4.1 (reported by - Takaaki Nomura <amadeus@yk.rim.or.jp>). - -

- -

Patch #124 - 2000/1/27 - XFree86 3.9.17b

change coding of editing keypad's "Delete" key to - <escape>[3~, in the default (Sun/PC) keyboard mode. - This makes the terminfo kdch1 capability independent of the - coding of the backarrow key, which sends either backspace (8) - or DEL (127). The reason for doing this (compatibility with - the screen program) outweighs the choice of DEL (127) - which was used in X11R5/X11R6 xterms. The screen - program translates whatever matches kdch1 into <escape>[3~, - even if it happens to be the stty erase character. - -
add encoding for control/?, to work around xmodmap or key - translations which may confuse backspace and delete. A control/? - will send DEL (127), and a control/H will of course send backspace - (8). - -
add encoding for kcbt to <escape>[Z (fixes Debian #54840). - -
minor correction to logic that encodes Sun and DEC function keys - to avoid sending an escape sequence if the key symbol is not found - in xterm's lookup table. - -
simplify ifdef's in main.c for POSIX VDISABLE so the "^-" pattern - is more likely to be implemented when imake configures xterm - (fixes Debian #55105). - -
change manpage to make it clearer what codes are sent by the - backarrow key. -

- -

Patch #123 - 2000/1/22 - XFree86 3.9.17a

add a note reserving OSC 51 for use in Emacs shell (request by - Rob Mayoff <mayoff@dqd.com>). - -
correct a missing backslash in xterm-vt220 termcap. - -
cleanup remaining quoted includes, preferring bracketed form. - -
minor configure-script macro updates from tin and vile. - -
add configure-script option for using utempter library, adapted - from Redhat 6.1 patch for XFree86 3.3.5 - -
resync with XFree86 3.9.17a: -
- correction to QNX support (Frank Guangxin Liu) -
- some cosmetic changes that did not correct any reported problems. -
-

- -

Patch #122 - 1999/12/28 - XFree86 3.9.16f

move the suggested wheel-mouse button translations into charproc.c - to simplify customization. Correct some minor logic errors in the - support for buttons 4 and 5, used for wheel mice (reported by - Bram Moolenaar). - -
implement metaSendsEscape resource, with corresponding - control sequence and menu entry. Like eightBitInput, this - causes xterm to send ESC prefixing the given key, but applies to - all keys and is independent of the 8-bit/7-bit terminal setting. - (requests by Alexander V Lukyanov and Marc Feeley). - -
correct potential indexing with negative subscript in udk_lookup(), - (reported by Ian Collier <Ian.Collier@comlab.ox.ac.uk>). - -
modify configure script that sets TERMINFO_DIR to use ${prefix} - rather than /usr if the --prefix option was specified (request by - Zdenek Sekera <zs@sgi.com>). - -
modify checks for repeat-character control sequence to test the - character class against xterm's state table, rather than the - isprint() macro (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov). - -
change several functions to macros to improve speed - -
two corrections to simulation of bold font via overstriking: -
- use clipping to avoid leaving trash at end of the text, and -
- add brackets so wide-character logic does not fall-through - into the overstriking logic (reported by - Marc Feeley <feeley@IRO.UMontreal.CA>) -
- -
add several entries to termcap file to make it have the same set - of aliases as the terminfo file. - -
scale the color values used for xterm-256color terminfo entry to - 0..1000, as expected by ncurses. - -
change xterm-r6 terminfo definitions for F1-F4 to match program. - -
Add QNX/Neutrino support (Frank Guangxin Liu - <frank@ctcqnx4.ctc.cummins.com>) -

Patch #121 - 1999/11/14 - XFree86 3.9.16c

change label on "Sun/PC Keyboard" popup menu entry to "VT220 - Keyboard", since the checked state corresponds to VT220 rather than - Sun/PC. - -
add configure test CF_UTMP_UT_XSTATUS to handle the variants of - utmp exit status (reports by Dave Ellement, Jeremie Petit, Tomas - Vanhala). - -
amend treatment of ALT key - (see patch #94) so that if ALT is used - as a modifier in key translations, then no parameter will be sent - in escape sequences for Sun/PC function keys (request by Dr Werner Fink). - -
modify default for OPT_I18N_SUPPORT to assume that - XtSetLanguageProc() is available in X11R5. -
- Caveat: XtSetLanguageProc() was - added fairly late in the X11R5 patches, and some vendors shipped - buggy versions of this function (request by Tomas Vanhala). - -
correct configure macro CF_SYSV_UTMP to test-link with functions - consistent with the header, e.g., getutent() for utmp.h and - getutxent() for utmpx.h (reported by Greg Smith). - -
modify terminfo entry for xterm-xfree86 to reflect - modifiers for shift and control which (from a patch by Alexander V - Lukyanov). - -
modify terminfo entry for xterm-sun to match the - function-key definitions in ncurses. The pageup/pagedown and - related function keys correspond to the Sun keyboard, which does - not necessarily correspond with X's notion of those keys. - -
modify treatment of XK_Delete keysym so it transmits parameterized - VT220-style <esc>[3~ if modifiers (shift, control - alt) are given (request by Alexander V Lukyanov). - -
corrected misspelled resource name in command-line option for - HP function keys. -

Patch #120 - 1999/10/28 - XFree86 3.9.16c

refine the change to SGR_Background() in patch #119, - by not flushing the pending scrolling operation if the background - color is not actually changing. This combination occurs when using - color-ls to display a long listing, since each line ends with an SGR0 - which affects only the foreground color. The unnecessary flushing - made it noticeably slower (reported by D Roland Walker - <walker@pobox.com>). - -
remove obsolete documentation about modifiers which can be returned - in mouse tracking mode, and modify logic to ignore modifiers other - than the existing ones, e.g., NumLock (prompted by discussions with - Christian Weisgerber and Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>). - -
use free bit from obsolete shift-modifier coding of mouse tracking - button events to encode buttons 4 and 5, e.g., for a wheel mouse - (requests by Brad Pepers and Bram Moolenaar). - -
correct a place where the ptyInitialErase logic did not set the - backarrowKey state, and modify it further to use tgetstr() rather - than parse the termcap data returned from tgetent() so the - ptyInitialErase logic will work when xterm is linked with a terminfo - library (based on a patch by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>). - -
fix definition of HAVE_UTMP_UT_HOST for ISC configuration (patch by - <michael.rohleder@stadt-frankfurt.de>) - -
improve configure script's utmp tests (based on reports by Greg - Smith for os390, and David Ellement for HPUX). - -
modify sinstall.sh to use uid=0 rather than 'root' to determine if - the installer is privileged. This is needed on some systems since - more than one account may be privileged (report by Greg Smith). - -
add an application resource, messages (and a - corresponding -/+mesg option) which controls the initial permission - on the terminal: if messages is set to true (the default), behavior - is as without the patch; if it is set to false (as per -mesg), the - terminal is opened in mode 0600, thus producing the effect of the - mesg n command. This is useful for users who want to - redirect all their messages to one particular xterm: it is more - pleasant to do this with xterm resources than with explicit calls to - the mesg program (patch, description by David Madore - <david.madore@ens.fr>). -

- -

Patch #119 - 1999/10/16 - XFree86 3.9.16c

add responses (DA and DSR) for DEC locator mode - -
add coding for ANSI color to DA response - -
implement UTF-8 translation for Media Copy (print) operations. - -
implement vt320 control sequences for Print Composed Main Display - and for Print All Pages. The latter directs xterm to print the - current screen as well as the scrollback buffer. - -
correct error in _GNU_SOURCE configure test, which left it always - defined. - -
add more information, i.e., with strerror for some system calls in - the main program which may fail due to insufficient permissions - (prompted by a problem report for -C by Jeremie Petit - <Jeremie.Petit@digital.com>). - -
add workaround for conflict between <X11/XPoll.h> and - <sys/select.h> on AIX 4.3 (Richard Griswold - <griswold@acm.org>). - -
add configure script test to resolve conflict between between - <X11/XPoll.h> and <sys/select.h> - -
modify translation of UTF-8 sequences to reject "overly long" - variations (patch by Markus Kuhn). - -
remove utf8controls resource, since Markus' change - removes the corresponding logic. - -
correct a case where colors were not rendered properly. This - happened when an application inserted several lines, then changed - colors. If this was done all in one write, then there would be no - intervening refresh, and the new color was applied to the pending - scrolling operation which was awaiting the next refresh (reported - by Stephane Chazelas <Stephane_Chazelas@Raytheon.com>). - -

- -

Patch #118 - 1999/10/5 - XFree86 3.9.16b

refine configure test for utmp versus utmpx, to build on HP-UX 10.x - (reported by David Ellement). - -
move the configure check for const after the check - for ANSI C compiler options, since those may be required to make - it work properly on HP-UX. - -
add configure test for defining _GNU_SOURCE - -
correction to -hold option, ensure that if data is already - in the output buffer that it will be displayed before closing the - PTY. - -
move the configure checks for setuid install of xterm into a script - to avoid installing it setuid'd to a non-root user (reported by - Adam Sulmicki <adam@cfar.umd.edu>). - -
correct configure script's check for termcap.h to avoid using - ncurses' version of it on systems that have a working - tgetent() function. This is needed to make - resize work properly. - -
fix some typography in ctlseqs.ms description of DEC locator events - (reported by Steve Wall). -

- -

Patch #117 - 1999/9/29 - XFree86 3.9.16b

change order of tests in configure script for utmp and utmpx - to test utmpx first, to compile on Solaris (reported by - Leena Heino <liinu@uta.fi> - and Patrik Hagglund <patha@ida.liu.se>). - -
add a configure test for utmp.ut_xtime, needed for SCO Openserver, - and for lastlog, needed for Redhat 6.0, to refine the utmp/utmpx - auto-configure. - -
remove a spurious comma in an #undef (reported by - David Green <greendjf@cvhp152.marconicomms.com> and - David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com> both on HP-UX, whose - compiler does care about syntax). - -
change ifdef's using __CYGWIN32__ to __CYGWIN__ (reported by Suhaib - M. Siddiqi <Ssiddiqi@InspirePharm.Com>, who is told that the - next Cygnus release will drop that symbol in their next release). - -
minor cleanup of ifdef's for makeColorPair (patch by Steve Wall). - -
patch by Alexander V Lukyanov to work around problem observed - in XFree86 3.3.5, reported as bug #5419 to Mozilla. From the - problem report: -
- xterm consumes cpu when selecting text with mouse (holding - down left mouse button) and when a program working under the - xterm outputs something to stdout. -
- Easy way to reproduce:
- while :; do echo aaa; sleep 1; done
- (while this runs, select text and hold down left mouse button) - watch cpu load.
- release left mouse button - spinning stops. -
-

- -

Patch #116 - 1999/9/25 - XFree86 3.9.16a

modify warning if change-ownership of PTY fails; some - configurations may not happen to have old-style pty's (reported by - Bob Maynard). - -
improve check in configure script for group ownership of installed - xterm; some platforms use the -g option of ls to toggle group off - rather than on (reported by Greg Smith). - -
minor improvement to toolbar geometry, to make it not resizable. - This still is not satisfactory (but is usable) since the toolbar - overlaps the xterm widget if the window is resized to make it - smaller. It appears that some work is needed for the xterm widget's - geometry management to make it function properly. - -
implement configure script tests for utmp, tty group. - -
implement -hold option, allowing users to retain the - window after a shell has exited (this is recently an FAQ, but - prompted by a comment by Joachim Plaettner-Hochwarth - <plaettner@aem.umn.edu> in comp.unix.programmer, that the IRIX - winterm provides this option). - -
integrated change by Steve Wall to - add support for DEC Locator control sequences for xterm: -
```
-
-		DECEFR - Enable Filter Rectangle
-		DECELR - Enable Locator Reports
-		DECSLE - Select Locator Events
-		DECRQLP - Request Locator Position
-	  
```
- This allows the xterm mouse to be used with applications that use the - DEC Locator sequences, such as VAX Tpu, or SMG$ based applications. - -
patch from Matthias Baake <Matthias.Baake@gmx.de>, for print - action. From his notes: -
- Bug 1: - Underlined text is preceded by ESC [0;2m . This should be ESC [0;4m , ESC - [2m doesn't seem to have any effect. (print.c/send_SGR) - -
- Bug 2: - The check for the last non-empty column (while (last > 0) ... in - print.c/printLine) omits the rightmost column of the screen, the loop must - start with last = screen->max_col+1 instead of last = screen->max_col. - -
- Bug 3: - Any attributes of the first character (and of all immediately following - characters with the same attributes) are ignored. The variable attr - (print.c/printLine) should be initialized with 0, not with *a & SGR_MASK. -
-

- -

Patch #115 - 1999/9/18 - XFree86 3.9.16a

integrated changes by Steve Wall to implement an 88-color model - for systems where 256-colors cannot be allocated. - -
when 256-color configuration is compiled, colored bold and - underlining is not available; ifdef'd to avoid possible odd effects - in this case (reported by Steve Wall). - -
add resource cacheDoublesize, to limit the caching of font - information for double-sized characters. This addresses a problem - reported by Aryeh Koenigsberg for X terminals with limited font - memory. - -
modify treatment of line-drawing characters in UTF-8 mode so that - the Unicode values are used rather than the C0 codes for storing the - translated characters (request by Markus Kuhn). -

- -

Patch #114 - 1999/9/15 - XFree86 3.9.16

add configure script checks for Athena headers and libraries under - /usr/contrib to work on HPUX (reported by several people: - David Nixon <djn@csc.liv.ac.uk> - Aryeh Koenigsberg <aryeh.koenigsberg@telrad.co.il> - Johannes Mähner <johanm@camline.com> - Andrew Gaylard <andrew.gaylard@bsw.co.za>). - -
add check to configure script if xterm is installed setgid rather - than setuid, since wtmp and utmp may be installed with group-writable - permissions other than root (based on Debian bug report #7112 by Bo - Branten <bosse@ing.umu.se>). - -
rewrote logic that removes data from termcap entry, e.g., for - titeInhibit, to make it less likely to remove the wrong data. - -
correct logic which checks for missing characters used for line - drawing. The 0 character was tested unnecessarily, leading to - some inefficiency when rendering. - -
change termcap capability which is used as input or output of - ptyInitialErase logic from kD to kb. - Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> pointed out - in effect that kD (in terminfo kdch1) should - correspond to the control sequence for dch1, which deletes - from the current position toward the right. - -
check for failure to change ownership of the PTY device and warn - when xterm is running setuid'd to root. This was reported to happen - on the FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD systems as a result of the chflags() - call. - -
add xterm-noapp terminfo entry to illustate a nominally - bash-compatible terminal description. -

- -

Patch #113 - 1999/8/15 - XFree86 3.9.15b

-Several fixes. The main one is a first draft of pulldown menus. It's not -complete (I have some minor/annoying geometry problems to correct), but is -usable. Once it's complete I plan to add a menu to support additional -selections that won't fit on the current popup menus. Also, this fits into my -longterm plan to allow configuring with Motif libraries. - -

correct error in input conversion for NRC mode (reported by - Stefan Traby <stefan@sime.com>). - -
fix initialization of num_lock data in Misc struct (since those - fields of the reference widget aren't initialized), and add logic to - deal with XVision whose NumLock key does not transmit but does alter - keypad state. - -
correct a missing return-value in get_pty(), for SCO - -
add E2A fix for backspace (Greg Smith), i.e.,
- #define VAL_INITIAL_ERASE A2E(127) - -
correct foreground color within cursor outline when the - window is unfocused (reported by Stephane Chazelas). - -
corrected position of scrollbar set in ResizeScrollBar(), which - left it positioned incorrectly if the right scrollbar were enabled - from the popup menu but was not initially enabled. - -
- I have noticed some additional problems with right-scrollbar on - X11R5 which I will correct later. - -
integrate changes by Jean-Claude Michot for QNX from XFree86 3.3.4c - -
add resources menuBar/MenuBar, menuHeight/MenuHeight for later - use in toolbar geometry. - -
add configure option --enable-toolbar - -
add missing definition to make ziconbeep logic not compile-in when - configure script disables it. - -
add configure-check for input-method support in X libraries -

- -

Patch #112 - 1999/7/17 - XFree86 3.9Pw

add null-pointer check to FlushLog(), fixes a core dump when both - -l and -lf options are used when xterm is configured with wide-character - support. - -
remove "ISO" case for SD, which was due to a typographical error in - ECMA-48 (reported by Paul Williams <paul@celigne.co.uk> for - vttest). - -
add "FILES" section to manpage. - -
generate header file to initialize default resources for colors - 16-255. - -
patches by Greg Smith for os390: -
- add README.os390 - -
- use the pty_search() function to find an available pty/tty pair. - -
- move E2A() call out of getXtermCell() to SaveText() function - so it will be available in all configurations. -
- -
patches by Todd Larason: -
- enable SGR 48 5 in ISO color mode, not just 256 color mode - -
- change configure's --disable-256-color option to - --enable-256-color, to match its effect - -
- fix OSC 4 xx ? (report ansi color) to report a string which can - actually be used to set the color back - -
- fix OSC 4 xx yy (change ansi color) to not allow setting colors > - 15 in 16 color mode - -
- simplify the COLOR_ settings a bit in ptyx.h, along with setting - NUM_ANSI_COLORS needed for #1 and #4 above - -
- correct string-terminator code passed for reference to OSC - responses; when in 7-bit mode, only the final byte of ST was seen. - -
- Allow multiple color #;name pairs in OSC 4, - and document changes to match. -
-

- -

Patch #111 - 1999/7/10 - XFree86 3.9Pw

add control sequences for specifying the RGB value of the ANSI - colors, and for configuring with 256 colors (patch by Todd Larason - <jtl@molehill.org>). I made the default configuration to - 16-colors, because xterm uses the default color map (which has only - 256 colors). - -
correct an error in DCS $ q m reporting for colors 8-15 (Todd - Larason). - -
add test/demo script for double size characters. Used this to - test/correct display of double size characters that should wrap, - underlined double size characters. - -
increased cache size for double size fonts to 8, to allow for both - normal and bold fonts (from discussion with Aryeh Koenigsberg - <aryeh.koenigsberg@telrad.co.il>). - -
integrated patch from Greg Smith <rys@epaibm.rtpnc.epa.gov> - for port to OS390 (aka MVS). OS390 uses EBCDIC rather than ASCII. - -
correct an off-by-one in binary search limits in keysym2ucs.c (Markus - Kuhn). - -
implement logging for UTF-8 mode. The output is written in UTF-8 form. -

- -

Patch #110 - 1999/6/29 - XFree86 3.9Pu

If colorMode is enabled by default, compile-in default resources to - match the colors listed in XTerm-col.ad (this should fix a - longstanding FAQ). - -
added new OSC 3 ; PROPNAME=VALUE ST escape - sequence to set an arbitrary X property on the top level xterm X11 - window. Omit "=VALUE" to delete the X property (patch by Greg Badros - <gjb@cs.washington.edu>). - -
change internal flag used for utf8controls resource - so we allow 31-bit range of characters (suggested by Thomas Wolff). - -
add check for 16-bit characters in OSC strings, change them to '?' - (reported by Thomas Wolff). - -
modify logic of same_font_name() to avoid trying to interpret both - parameters as wildcard patterns. That does not (cannot) work, and in - some instances the font server will return unresolved wildcards for - the normal or bold fontnames, making them match inadvertently, - triggering the fallback overstrike logic (reported by Tim Adye). -

- -

Patch #109 - 1999/6/23 - XFree86 3.9Pt

correct range-check from patch #108, which resulted in not being - able to select from the scrollback buffer (reported by Tim Adye - <T.J.Adye@rl.ac.uk>) - -
correct "no available ptys" problem with Cygwin B20.1 (patch by Tim - Adye). - -
modified install-ti rule in Makefile.in to allow override of the - terminfo directory when doing a "make install", i.e., by assigning - to TERMINFO_DIR (request by Zdenek Sekera <zs@sgi.com>). - -
added install-full rule to Makefile.in - -
resync mkdirs.sh and install.sh scripts against current autoconf - -
implement $(DESTDIR) in Makefile.in, making it simple to install - xterm and associated files into a directory just for packaging a - binary release (suggested by CaT <cat@zip.com.au>). - -
change IChar type to unsigned, rather than unsigned short, making - room for a flag to keep with 16-bit characters to prevent them from - being interpreted as C0 or C1 controls (reported by Thomas Wolff). - -
correct a typo from patch #107, incorrect array name, in the - filterUTF8 function (patch by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>) - -
add utf8controls resource to specify whether xterm should - interpret 16-bit characters unpacked from UTF-8 form as control - characters if they happen to fall into that range. This behavior - is left unspecified by the Unicode standard (request by Thomas Wolff). - -
modify handling of OSC to recover if application sends 16-bit - characters with codes above 255. We cannot display them as is, but - translate out-of-range characters to a '?' (reported by Thomas - Wolff). -

- -

Patch #108 - 1999/6/19 - XFree86 3.9Ps

add a range-check to LastTextCol(), to guard against indexing - before the beginning of the scrollback buffer. This appears to - happen with certain fonts under X11R5 (reported by Stephane Chazelas - <Stephane_Chazelas@Raytheon.com>). - -
implement resource boldMode, to allow disabling the - simulation of bold fonts when the bold and normal fonts are not - different (requested by Will Day <willday@rom.oit.gatech.edu>). - -
change the atom "UTF-8" to "UTF8_STRING", and fixes a few bugs in - the UTF-8 selection (patch by Juliusz Chroboczek). - -
correct logic of binary-search in keysym2ucs.c (patch by Markus - Kuhn). - -
add special interpretation of keysym codes above 0x1000000 as - the corresponding UCS value plus 0x1000000 (patch by Markus Kuhn). -

- -

Patch #107 - 1999/6/12 - XFree86 3.9Pq

Two changes from Stephen P Wall. - From his description: -
- The first change is simple - I added ESC[3J to erase the stored lines - above the screen. That's what the changes to util.c and ctlseqs.ms - are. -
- The second change is to get the blinking cursor working. I took out - the cursorBlinkTime resource, and put in cursorBlink (Boolean), - cursorOnTime (time cursor is on in msecs) and cursorOffTime, and added - a cursorblink item to the vtMenu to enable/disable it. -
- -
Integrated a patch from Juliusz Chroboczek <jec@dcs.ed.ac.uk>. - From his description: -
- With this patch, selection conversion works properly: -
```
-	ISO 8859-1 xterm -> ISO 8859-1 xterm (transferred as STRING);
-	ISO 8859-1 xterm -> UTF-8 xterm (transferred as STRING);
-	UTF-8 xterm -> ISO 8859-1 xterm (transferred as STRING);
-	UTF-8 xterm -> UTF-8 xterm (transferred as UTF-8).
-
```
- It will not work properly if one xterm is in, say, ISO 8859-2. - Actually, for this case xterm breaks the ICCCM routinely (sending ISO - 8859-2 data as STRING), so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have - not changed the behaviour in eight-bit mode in any way. -
-

- -

Patch #106 - 1999/6/9 - XFree86 3.9Pq

remove duplicate fix for OpenBSD in resize.c - -
correct logic in ScreenWrite, which did not reset the high bytes - of 16-bit characters when overwriting them with a 8-bit character - string (reported by Thomas Wolff). - -
integrate patch by Markus Kuhn to provide limited support for - input of UTF-8 16-bit data by a lookup table. - -
correct check in non_blank_line to ensure we're in wide-character - mode before looking at the high bytes, for InsertChar. -

Patch #105 - 1999/6/5 - XFree86 3.9Pp

implement new resource trimSelection, which allows xterm - to trim trailing blanks from selected lines. This does not affect - the highlighting. (reported by several people using mutt, - including - Hans Morten Kind <edphk@uib.no>, - Jeremy <jeremy@exit109.com> - and (Michael Fuller <msf@mds.rmit.edu.au>). - -
add patch by Matthieu Herrb to include term.h in resize for OpenBSD. - -
correct logic for UTF-8 in functions that hide and show the cursor; - it was displaying a space whenever the low byte of the character at - the cursor position was zero (reported by Thomas Wolff - <Thomas.Wolff@icn.siemens.de>). -

- -

Patch #104 - 1999/5/30 - XFree86 3.9Pn

-This is a resync patch against XFree86 3.9Pn, reflecting changes which were -submitted by Branden Robinson, who worked with -Wichert Akkerman <wichert@cs.leidenuniv.nl> -to set up ifdef's to handle GNU libc 2.1, -and use getpt() which lets xterm avoid having to know the actual PTY name. -

-I have also added a few fixes for signed/unsigned mismatches, and corrected -a problem in the configure script (the UTF-8 code was always configured since -the Imakefile defines this). - -

Patch #103 - 1999/5/14 - XFree86 3.9Pm

correct selection logic: I omitted an offset that accounts for - the distance into the scrollback buffer when rewriting this for - patch #101. Also fixed a similar problem for selecting double - size characters from the scrollback buffer (first was reported - by D Roland Walker <walker@pobox.com>). - -
improved support for Unix98 PTY's, using patch in Debian bug report - #35650, by J.H.M. Dassen <jdassen@wi.leidenuniv.nl>. From - the patch description: -
-
- No longer links xterm against libutil on a glibc2.1 system. - libutil is a compatibility library and should only be used when - necessary. Rather than having get_pty() use openpty() from this - compatibility library, use the real UNIX98 pty support in get_pty() - (open()ing the master pty, through getpt() if available (glibc - extension)). Use openpty() only under glibc2.0. -
- GNU libc2 is not Linux-specific; already it runs on the Hurd. It - provides the UNIX98 pty functions (plus the getpt() extension), - regardless of the underlying OS. Changed two constructs to look for - GNU libc2 only, not GNU libc2 on Linux. -
-
- -
improve font configuration, by checking if the user's resource - settings for normal and bold fonts give the same font sizes - (fixes problem reported by Peter Waltenberg <peterw@dascom.com>). -

- -

Patch #102 - 1999/5/12 - XFree86 3.9Pm

revert change to openpty call in patch #101; this causes xterm to - fail on DEC-Alpha OSF/1 4.0B (reported by H Merijn Brand). - -
modify print.c to move include of stdio.h after the autoconf'd - xtermcfg.h since HP's ANSI C compiler otherwise sees inconsistent - prototype for getopt, probably due to problem with const (reported by - H Merijn Brand). -

- -

Patch #101 - 1999/5/10 - XFree86 3.9Pm

moved includes and definitions for 'select' from data.h to xterm.h - to fix problem introduced by prototype for getPtyData, part of UTF-8 - changes (reported by Jens Schleusener <Jens.Schleusener@dlr.de>) - -
added "Meta <Btn2Down>:clear-saved-lines()" default - translation (patch by H Merijn Brand) - -
fixes to configure script and ifdef's in main.c to build on a - HP9000/D390 (hppa-2.0w) running HP-UX 11.00 (64 bit) with egcs 1.1.2 - and HP's ANSI C compiler (patch by H Merijn Brand - <PROCURA_BV@CompuServe.com>) - -
add more parentheses in ifdef's (patch by Bob Maynard). - -
eliminate conflicting definitions for USE_TERMINFO in resize.c - (reported by Jeremy Buhler). - -
change openpty call to pass NULL rather than ttydev parameter, - since that was used only to estimate the length of the - corresponding data, and may not really be long enough - (reported by Andreas Jaeger) - -
update description in xterm manpage for character class table, - which said it handles only 7-bit codes. - -
correct a typo in ScrnDeleteChar() which made it not clear the - high byte of wide-character data. - -
add logic to convert selection to UTF-8 form when appropriate. - This makes select/paste "work", but further work is needed to - make UTF-8 recognized as a locale in Xlib. - -
correct right-limit check when selecting double-width characters. - -
change default answerback response to an empty string. -

- -

Patch #100 - 1999/5/3 - XFree86 3.9Pl

Correct a typo in the default resource value for - backarrowKeyIsErase: it was always true (reported by Bram - Moolenaar). - -
improve configure script's test if the installed xterm is setuid, - in case that is a symbolic link. - -
correct "install-ti" rule in Makefile.in, by not setting a blank - $TERMINFO value. That is interpreted as "." by ncurses' tic. -

- -

Patch #99 - 1999/5/2 - XFree86 3.9Pk

correct logic that computes num_ptrs count of the number of indices - into the screen buffer. This is the maximum of the colors and - character-set indices; was incorrect in patch #97. - -
correct argument type for sigsetjmp, incidental change in patch - #96's Unix88 PTY patch (reported by Bram Moolenaar). - -
correct description of secondary DA in ctlseqs.ms (reported by Bram - Moolenaar). - -
decouple the backarrowKey and ptyInitialErase resources by - adding a new resource backarrowKeyIsErase, to accommodate people - using applications which have hardcoded tests for characters 8 and - 127 rather than relying on the stty settings. - -
modify the UTF-8 decoder so that all possible illegal UTF-8 - sequences are properly represented by U+FFFD. This should be very - helpful for developers of code that output UTF-8 strings for - debugging. See the file utf-8-test.txt in - http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz for a - demonstration text that contains numerous illegal UTF-8 values. - (patch by Markus Kuhn). - -
correct a place in ScrnRefresh where I was filling the high byte of - a wide character with a space rather than a null (reported by Markus - Kuhn). -

- -

Patch #98 - 1999/4/26 - XFree86 3.9Pk

correct data manipulation in unparseputc(), broken for - little-endian machines by patch #97's UTF-8 changes. This meant that - keyboard input on SunOS did not work, though Linux i386 was fine. - -
modify initialization for backarrowKey and logic for initial-erase - to prevent the initial-erase from overriding an explicitly set - backarrowKey resource (reported by Vikas Agnihotri). - -
add a missing null-pointer check in ScrnRefresh, for the - wide-characters configuration. -

Patch #97 - 1999/4/25 - XFree86 3.9Pk

add configure script test for -lutil, needed for openpty call when - configuring xterm for Glibc-2.1 and Unix98 PTY's (first reported by - Martin Lorentz" <m.lorentz@w12.link-goe.de>). - -
completely parenthesize ifdef expressions for Glibc (suggested by - Bob Maynard). - -
add initial-erase options (-ie, +ie) to help message (reported by - Vikas Agnihotri). - -
remove duplicate definition of USE_USG_PTYS (reported by Jeremy - Buhler). - -
change termcap kD and terminfo kdch1 to a DEL - (\177). - I overlooked this when separating the styles of keyboard with - the sunKeyboard resources in patch #94, so that it normally - matches the value of the stty erase character: -
- Reported by Jae Gangemi <jgangemi@ccf.rutgers.edu>, - this caused emacs to not process the DEL properly, combining it - with succeeding characters. -
- This does not appear to be related to a problem which I have - found with screen, which translates the stty erase into - the termcap kD or terminfo kdch1 value - (depending on how it is linked) - if the $TERMCAP variable is set when screen is invoked. -
- -
add command-line options for enabling UTF-8 mode: -u8 and +u8. - The more obvious -utf8 and +utf8 would conflict with xterm's - -ut and +ut (utmp) options. - - The UTF-8 changes were requested by Markus Kuhn - <Markus.Kuhn@cl.cam.ac.uk>. This patch does not complete UTF-8 - implementation, but makes it usable, i.e., display and refresh work, - and I am able to display the test cases which Markus provides. - More work is needed to complete this feature: -
- the control sequences for switching in/out of UTF-8 mode are - partly implemented (don't use them). Similarly, the switching - between vt100 and tek4014 emulations when UTF-8 mode is enabled - will not work properly. -
  - You must use the -u8 command line option - to use this feature, as well as compile with the OPT_WIDE_CHARS - definition. -
- cut/paste only copies 8-bit characters. -
- logging is disabled in the wide-character configuration -
- printing only writes 8-bit characters. -
- input only does 8-bit characters. This is the area that I know - least about. -

Patch #96 - 1999/4/19 - XFree86 3.9Pj

modify Makefile.in to work with configure script's --srcdir option. - (patch by Jeremy Buhler <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>) - -
add checks for 'echo -n' equivalent for 8colors.sh and 16colors.sh - scripts (reported by Vikas Agnihotri). - -
improve logic that looks for bold fonts to allow for wildcards - in the specification for normal fonts, and to ensure that if - a bold font is specified as normal, that xterm will simulate a - bold version of that using a one-pixel offset overstrike - (reported by Henrik Harmsen <harmsen@erv.ericsson.se>). - -
correct horizontal spacing of double width line-drawing characters - that xterm simulates. - -
improve support for Unix98 PTY's, using patch in Debian bug report - #35650, by Topi Miettinen <Topi.Miettinen@medialab.sonera.fi>. - Andreas Jaeger says this also corrects a permissions problem - reported by cat@zip.net.au - -
modify initial-erase logic to ensure that ttyModes - resource overrides it. -

- -

Patch #95 - 1999/4/5 - XFree86 3.9Ph

modify primary DA response to allow a '1' parameter. - -
add printer and national replacement character sets to VT220 - primary DA response. - -
document primary and secondary DA responses in ctlseqs.ms - -
use the patch number (e.g., 95) in the secondary DA response, - providing user applications a means of determining the version - of xterm for feature comparison (request by Bram Moolenaar). - -
make xterm respond to secondary DA when the decTerminalID - is set for VT100. - -
limit user-defined keys (DECUDK) to VT220-style keyboard - when sunKeyBoard resource is true. - -
modify ifdef's for Linux-2.2.x with Glibc-2.1 to work with - Glibc-2.1 and no Unix98 PTY support (patch from From Andreas Jaeger - <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>) - -
add optional feature (resource and command-line options) to make - xterm use the PTY's sense of erase character on startup, rather than - requiring it to be \177, or set the PTY's erase character to match - xterm's configuration. Note that while $TERMCAP is modified to - reflect the actual configuration, the terminfo kdch1 string is not - (request by Dirk H Hohndel <hohndel@suse.de>) - -
improve scripts in vttests to work with newer shells that do not - use 'echo -n'. - -
add fonts.sh example script - -
correct inequality in handling of "#1" font specification. - -
correct call to XGetWMNormalHints() used for computing maximum - screen size; the size hints may not have been set. - -
begin implementation of support for wide-characters (configure - option --enable-wide-chars defines OPT_WIDE_CHARS, invoke xterm with - -wc option to activate this feature). This patch optionally widens - internal data structures, invokes the 16-bit text output rather than - the 8-bit version and adds some tables. - -

Patch #94 - 1999/3/27 - XFree86 3.9Pf

further fixes for terminfo: ka1, ka3, etc., differ between the - default xterm-xfree86 and xterm-vt220 entries. - -
change default (with sunKeyboard resource false) behavior of - the editing keypad "Delete" to send a 127, like xterm-r6. - The VT220-style <esc>[3~ is sent when - sunKeyboard is true (reported by Tomas Vanhala). - -
add parameters to function keys to indicate if shift, control - or alt are set. The codes are based on a description of - a DEC VT510 with a PC keyboard, from Jeffrey Altman - <jaltman@watsun.cc.columbia.edu>. - -
add control sequence 1035, set-num-lock action and num-lock - menu entry to control the use of the NumLock and Alt keys for - the Sun/PC and VT220 keyboard extensions. - -
implement DECSET/DECRST numeric keypad (DECNKM) mode. - -
modify terminfo and termcap to use recommended "X Window" or "X11" - names rather than "X Windows" (reported by Tomas Vanhala). - -
suppress translation of shifted keypad "+" when sunKeyboard - is true. - -
workaround unexpected behavior (perhaps bug) in XmbLookupString, - which returns trash in the string buffer for numlock and control-key - combined with keypad-keys. - -
modify ScrollBarReverseVideo() to keep scrollbar border visible - when reverse video is toggled. - -
correct missing case for parameter 17 (set highlight color) in - dynamic colors control sequences. - -
extend dynamic colors control sequences to allow users to - determine the colors and font which are currently active. - -
minor tweak to OSC responses, to use BEL if the application used - that to end the request, rather than ST. This works better with - shell scripts, which may not handle an - <esc>backslash very well. - -
separate menu settings for reverse video from that done under - program control. - -
corrected ifdef's for menus, which did not allow tek4014 to - be suppressed properly (reported by Clint Olsen). - -
integrated patch from Pavel Roskin - <pavel_roskin@geocities.com> - for Linux-2.2.x with GLibc-2.1 and - /dev/ptmx support: -
- main.c and resize.c were using different rules to determine - whether ATT should be defined (actually USE_USG_PTYS is more - apt). - -
- copy definitions from main.c to resize.c to prevent - sys/stream.h and sys/ptem.h from inclusion when SYSV is not - defined - -
- define CNUL if not already defined like other variables. - -
- /dev/tty does exist in Linux, but it doesn't mean, it - should be used. Therefore EACCES is now an acceptable - result. - -
- ifdef'd several calls such as ioctl (ptyfd, I_PUSH, - "ptem") to build on Linux (I_PUSH is not defined when - sys/stropts.h is not included). -
- -
initialize second "ltc" variable in main.c (reported by David - Dawes). - -
provide definition for USE_USG_PTYS in screen.c - -
add resource-files to install rule in standalone Makefile.in - -
add sample scripts to illustrate titlebar controls, resizing - and colors. -

- -

Patch #93 - 1999/3/14 - XFree86 3.9Pd

-Here are several fixes and minor enhancements. The chief ones -are the fixes for NumLock mode and reverse video, since we had become -used to working around the problems. -

remove kfnd/kll/kslt strings from terminfo, because curses - applications do not necessarily return khome/kend pairs - (reported by Vikas Agnihotri). - -
implement NumLock resource which overrides the keyboard tables for the - special case of keypad keys. This is a problem introduced in xterm - by X11R6 changes, i.e., an ambiguity which in effect discarded vt100 - keypad support. - -
modify Sun/PC keyboard mode to extend this (emulation of DEC vt100 - keypad) to the remainder of the numeric keypad. Now, the default - operating mode of xterm uses the keyboard tables as-is (except if - the NumLock mode overrides), but provides good vt100 keypad compatibility - if the Sun/PC keyboard menu item is checked. - -
separate command-line settings for reverse video from that done - under program control. This is a problem which was introduced by - X11R6. Though correct, most users are confused by allowing - the reset command to undo the effect of the command-line -rv - option. - -
add description of function keys, keypad and cursor keys to ctlseqs.ms - -
add terminfo entries for xterm-vt52, xterm-sun and xterm-hp - -
correct typo (missing case value) for DECSET 35, enable/disable - shifted keypad action and a few compiler warnings (reported by Zdenek - Sekera <zs@sgi.com>). - -
correct reporting of color values 8-15 in DECRQSS (reported by - Vikas Agnihotri). - -
modify parsing of ttyModes resource to recognize "^-" as "undef" - (requested by Tomas Vanhala). - -
integrate/extend changes to add iconify/maximize actions - (from Edward S. Arthur <eda@ultranet.com>). - -
add control sequences for maximizing/restoring window, and - for reporting maximum screen size. - -
add 'interpret' action, to support local function-key interpretation. - Used properly, this makes most of the specialized actions of xterm - redundant. - -
add control sequence private modes 1051, 1052 and 1052, for - setting the Sun and HP function key modes, and for setting the - Sun/PC keyboard mode. - -
add configure option --disable-maximize - -
add configure option --disable-num-lcok - -
extend descriptions of configure script options in INSTALL. -

- -

Patch #92 - 1999/2/5 - XFree86 3.9Nz

increase buffer size for tgetent (i.e., termcap) to 1500. This - fixes a problem where screen is built using ncurses or - GNU termcap and xterm is built using the standard termcap - interface. The former does not limit the termcap size, while the - latter is assumed to be no longer than 1023 characters. The - screen program's termcap entry is about 1200 characters - long. - -
change update_menu_item() to a function, to simplify debugging. - This also reduces the executable by 4Kb. - -
add control sequences for DECSET 30, 1010, 1011 like rxvt (enable - or disable some features that were only settable via resources or - command line arguments). - -
add control sequence for DECSET 35, which enables/disables the - shifted keypad functions. - -
add support for switching font sizes, by stepping through the - font menu using shifted keypad plus and minus. - -
correct missing initialization of tekInhibit and tekSmall resources. - -
correct ifdef's in charproc.c for XtNgeometry and XtCGeometry - (reported by Bram Moolenaar). -

- -

Patch #91 - 1999/1/21 - XFree86 3.9Nw

Implement logic to translate input characters which are mapped - when in vt220 National Replacement Character mode (requested by - Tomas Vanhala). - -
Resync configure scripts with my patches to autoconf 2.13 - -
Change order of -lXmu and -lXext to accommodate cygwin32 - (reported by Vikas Agnihotri). - -
Add "-ti" option to set terminal emulation level from command - line rather than via resource. - -
Simplify some of the preprocessor logic using #elif. -

- -

Patch #90 - 1998/12/13 - XFree86 3.9Nq

-This implements several small fixes and enhancements. The chief one implements -fallback support for line drawing characters with fonts that do not include -those characters. But I implemented that last. - -

If any of the glyphs in positions 0-31 (used by xterm to implement - the VT100 alternate character set) are zero-sized (i.e., missing), - xterm will reserve a normal space for the glyph when drawing. I - implemented a simple stroke-drawing function to draw the line-drawing - characters and a couple of the other (simpler) characters such as - diamond. (This was suggested by Vikas Agnihotri). - -
Modify the computation of doublesize characters to work around font - servers which shift the scaled characters up/down or do not give the - correct width. - -
Add popup menu item and corresponding resource settings to disable - the font-scaling logic for doublesize characters to work around - (older) font servers which simply do not draw the fonts scaled to the - size that they said they would. I see this problem on a SunOS system - running X11R5; the X11R6 servers seem well behaved. - -
Implement new escape sequence, private mode 1049, which combines - the switch to/from alternate screen mode with screen clearing and - cursor save/restore. Unlike the existing escape sequence, this - clears the alternate screen when switching to it rather than when - switching to the normal screen, thus retaining the alternate screen - contents for select/paste operations. - -
When I implemented the popup menu entry to toggle between the normal - and alternate screens, I considered only pasting from the normal - screen to the alternate; this improvement allows either direction. - -
Changed the termcap and terminfo for xterm-xfree86 and xterm-8bit - to use the new 1049 private mode. - -
Modify the logic which switches between normal and alternate - screens so that the save/restore cursor operations apply only to the - current screen. That means that applications which use the terminfo - smcur/rmcur or termcap ti/te capabilities will restore the cursor to - the original position on the normal screen rather than to the most - recent place where a save-cursor operation was performed. - -
I note that a real VT100 terminal would not behave in this way, - but it is a moot point since the VT100 does not implement alternate - screen, and therefore the save/restore cursor sequence would not be - used in this context. I reviewed the logic which switches between - normal and alternate screens based on some recent newsgroup postings - as well as a proposed patch in the Debian group which attempts to - do this (the patch has a bug, however, so I did not use it). - -
Add popup menu entry for toggling the titeInhibit resource. - -
Add new resource answerbackString, which overrides the default - "xterm" returned by xterm when responding to an ENQ (control/E) - character (request by Rajesh Vaidheeswarran <rv@fore.com>). - -
Add new resource keyboardDialect for setting the NRC display - character set (request by Tomas Vanhala, who notes that I should - add logic to translate the keyboard as well). - -
Add new command-line option and corresponding resources for making - xterm generate escape sequences compatible with HP terminals. Like - the existing Sun escape sequences, this is available as a popup menu - item. It is enabled by the configure script with the option - --enable-hp-fkeys (requested by Toni Mueller <sales@oeko.net>). - -
Add configure script option --disable-boxchars to disable the - fallback support for line drawing characters. - -
Fix ifdef's for configure script --disable-ansi-color, and reviewed - all configure options to ensure that all can be enabled/disabled - appropriately. - -
Update config.guess and config.sub, from Lynx. -

- -

Patch #89 - 1998/11/20 - XFree86 3.9Nm

-This patch completes the implementation of double-sized character support -for the VT100 emulation, and fixes a few minor bugs: - -

corrected the cursor position in HideCursor, which did not multiply -the column by two when in doublesize mode. -This bug, which did not appear in normal use, -dates back to my original changes to partly implement -double-sized characters. -I noticed it when cat'ing a typescript from vttest's double-sized character -test. -
ensure that the current line is repainted when switching between -single and double width characters. -
reduce the number of bits used for double-sized character coding -from 3 to 2, to make more room for soft-font codes. -
copy newer ifdef's from the XFree86 3.3.3 release's main.c, -which address details of glibc and powerpc. -
moved definition of DECL_ERRNO in xterm.h to match XFree86 3.3.3 -
modify resize to remove the ifdef on SVr4 that suppressed -printing the script for $LINES and $COLUMNS. -Solaris' resize utility does this; suppressing the behavior is unnecessary. -

-I tested the double-sized characters using vttest and the xfsft patch. -These fonts worked reasonably well: -

-	-bitstream-courier-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
-	9x15
-

-The iso8859 font does not include box characters, of course, but looks good. - -

Patch #88 - 1998/10/31 - XFree86 3.9Nk and 3.3.2h

-This refines my #85 patch by checking for a case where the font server -returns a bold font that does not quite correspond to the normal font. -When I asked for a bold version of the 6x12 font, the font server -returned a near equivalent where the ascent and descent values did not -match, causing xterm to leave lines across the display. -This patch makes xterm reject that type of mismatch, falling back to the -old font behavior. - -

Patch #87 - 1998/10/21 - XFree86 3.9Nj and 3.3.2f

-This corrects a problem reported by Stefan Dalibor. My table entries for the -printerExtent and printerFormFeed resources used the wrong -types for sizeof, causing the printer to not work properly on some platforms -because the printAttributes resource was overwritten (e.g., Digital Unix with DEC Alpha). -

-I reviewed all of the resource table entries and fixed a potential problem with -resizeGravity, which was typed as int rather than -XtGravity. - -

Patch #86 - 1998/10/14 - XFree86 3.9Nj and 3.3.2e

-A small fix: when switching to/from the continuous mouse reporting mode, -the event mask was incorrect if xterm was built under X11R5 because the -original data was saved under an ifdef for active-icon. - -

Patch #85 - 1998/10/12 - XFree86 3.9Nj and 3.3.2e

-Some cleanup (I noticed the pixel droppings a few months ago after getting a -new 17" monitor): -

split-out the functions that load/reload fonts for xterm as new - file fontutils.c to extend them to support automatic loading of - bold font corresponding to the normal font. Adapted logic from - EMU 1.3 for this purpose. This fixes most occurrences of pixel - droppings from bold characters. - -
modified by renaming variables and adding casts to permit compile - with g++. - -
modify headers so they can all be compiled without order - dependencies, and use bracketed rather than quoting includes to allow - compile from separate directory. - -
renamed xtermm terminfo entry to xterm-mono, to avoid conflict with - Solaris entry now in ncurses. -

- -

Patch #84 - 1998/10/9 - XFree86 3.9Ni and 3.3.2e

-Several small fixes and enhancements, including a patch from -Bjorn Helgaas: -

correct initialization of TERMCAP environment variable, which - was frequently set to garbage on non-Linux systems because - "termcap" and "newtc" contained random data from the stack. - -
remove the LINEWRAPPED attribute from lines as they are cleared. - Previously, the attribute was set but never cleared. - -
make word and line selections work even when lines are wrapped - by xterm. Previously, selections were limited to one screen line. -

-as well as -

modify logic for line-wrapping to reset the associated flag if - the application deletes a character. This fixes a problem reported - by Bjorn Helgaas where word/line selection would still wrap even - after deleting characters from the first line. -
add kll/kH capabilities to xterm-xfree86 entries in termcap and - terminfo (request by Michael Schroeder). -
shorten descriptions in termcap to make resolved entries all - shorter than 1023 character limit. -
use DECSTR control sequence to shorten initialization and reset - strings in xterm-xfree86 termcap and terminfo. -
use rmul/smul and rmir/smir in xterm-r5 terminfo to match termcap. -
correct typos in initialization and reset strings in xterm-r5 - termcap and terminfo. -
disable special translations of key symbols (the backarrow key, - the editing keypad and the keypad "+") when a modifier other than - shift, control or numlock is used. This makes xterm handle the meta - key as expected by people using emacs (reported by Pete Harlan - <harlan@pointofchoice.com> in linux.debian.user newsgroup). -

- -

Resync #83 - 1998/10/7 - XFree86 3.3.2e

- -Merge changes through patch #83 with the 3.3.2e version. This follows a -patch by Matthieu Herrb <matthieu@laas.fr> to add checks for non-null -return from malloc. - -

Patch #83 - 1998/8/25 - XFree86 3.9Nb

-Several small fixes and enhancements: -

add configure test to infer if xterm should be installed setuid - based on previously installed xterm (reported by Stephen Marley - and Stefan Dalibor). - -
integrate/extend patch by Jason Bacon to implement quasi-continuous - mouse reporting. - -
correct control sequences transmitted by function keys F1 to F4 - when sunFunctionKeys resource is true (it was still using the - VT100 control sequences). - -
modify handling of backarrow key so that the control modifier - toggles the backspace/delete interpretation set by the - backarrowKey resource. - -
limit the row and column values used to report mouse position. -

- -From resync with XFree86 3.9Nb: -

add support for the VSTATUS control character (patch by - Robert Earl <rearl@teleport.com>). -

- -

Patch #82 - 1998/7/15 - XFree86 3.9Aj

-Bug fix for patch #81: -

remove an #undef for NBBY, which caused compile problem on FreeBSD - (reported by David Dawes). -

- -

Patch #81 - 1998/7/14 - XFree86 3.9Aj

-More bug fixes: -

fix conflicting ifdef's for TIOCSLTC when building with Linux on - AXP aka DEC Alpha (reported by Robin Cutshaw). - -
correction to patch #79, move assignment for *utptr->ut_user = 0; - back into non-SVR4 ifdef in main.c, since this clobbers username on - Solaris 2.5.1 (analysis by Will Day - <willday@rom.oit.gatech.edu>). - -
corrected khome/kend in xterm-8bit terminfo description. - -
improve cursor color by making it always the reverse of fg/bg - unless the cursorColor resource is set, i.e., to something other than - the default foreground (reported by Vikas Agnihotri and Bram - Moolenaar). - -
minor fixes for compiler warnings, including a syntax error in - the AMOEBA ifdef's. -

-From resync with XFree86 3.9Aj: -

correction to patch #73, supply missing #else for fallback definitions - of size_t, time_t (Robin Cutshaw <robin@intercore.com>). -

- -

Patch #80 - 1998/6/29 - XFree86 3.9Ai

-This fixes a couple of items leftover or introduced by patch 79: -

take out the logic that suppresses editing-keypad in vt100 mode - (those keys are too valuable to give up for a fine point of - emulation). - -
corrected a couple of places in terminfo where I missed using the - vt220-style editing-keypad codes for Find/Select (mapped to Home/End). - -
checked termcap file against terminfo, fix several places where it - was inconsistent. -

- -

Patch #79 - 1998/6/28 - XFree86 3.9Ai

- -This patch fixes several small bugs: -

use X_EXTRA_LIBS in standalone Makefile.in (patch by Tomas Vanhala). - -
add new resource 'oldXtermFKeys' which provides backward compatibility - for F1-F4 control sequences with TOG's xterm. - -
determine the server's default foreground/background Pixel values, - needed if the -flipPixels X server option is used (reported by - David Dawes). - -
correct logic for F1-F4 function keys so that they generate VT100 - compatible escape sequences in VT220 mode, since that is what the - numeric keypad is supposed to do (reported by Ron Johnson, Jr. - <ronjohn@communique.net>). - -
modify logic for editing keypad to work more like VT220: don't - pass those codes in VT100-mode unless oldXtermFKeys mode is set. - -
correct an interaction with the editing-keypad logic that prevented - backarrow key from sending a 127 for the delete key (the 'remove' - escape sequence was being sent instead). - -
use return-value from getuid() rather than the parameter, to work on - systems which do not update the latter (patch by Kevin Buhr - <buhr@mozart.stat.wisc.edu>) - -
correct scrollbar border color when toggling to/from secure keyboard - mode (patch by Jeff Uphoff <juphoff@tarsier.cv.nrao.edu>) - -
modifications to terminfo file: -
- rename description to xterm-xfree86, adding an entry 'xterm' - which is derived from xterm-xfree86 to simplify customization. - -
- change string for kdch1 from \177 to \E[3~, to address complaints - from Debian developers. (This applies to the key labeled "Delete", - and does not affect the backarrow key). - -
- add user-strings u6, u7, u8, u9 to entries to make them work with - Daniel Weaver's "tack" program. - -
- modify xterm-24, xterm-bold, xterm-boldso entries to disentangle them from - explicit dependency upon xterm-xfree86. - -
- add generic 'xterm-color' entry. - -
- minor corrections to xterm-xfree86, xterm-8bit, xterm-r5 and - xterm-r6 entries. -
-

- -

Patch #78 - 1998/6/3 - XFree86 3.9Ah and 3.3.2

- -Again, most of the bulk of this patch is for ANSI conversion. I used the -IRIX compiler's -wlint option to find the remaining functions that use -K&R syntax (since gcc does not do this properly). - -Also, I changed the logic in the print code slightly to close unwanted files -before opening a pipe to the printer. This may help in some configurations -where the line printer hangs until xterm closes the pipe. - -

Patch #77 - 1998/5/26 - XFree86 3.9Ah and 3.3.2

- -Most of the bulk of this patch is to convert the extended C (K&R functions -with prototypes) to ANSI. I verified that on Linux by comparing object -files, to ensure that I did not, for example, interchange parameters in -the function declarations. -

-The rest of the patch fixes several minor bugs, and adds a few features: -

back-out my use of ncurses "captoinfo -f" option (if/then/else/endif) - formatting, since ncurses did not correctly filter embedded newlines - in terminfo capability strings until _after_ ncurses 4.1, thus - corrupting setf/setb/sgr strings (reported by Darren Hiebert and - others). - -
document SGR 8, 28 (invisible/visible), add corresponding - capabilities to terminfo description. -
- I would also add the 'prot protected capability, but the control - sequences for that would not be recognized or properly ignored by the - older xterm programs. - -
modify ChangeGroup to not suppress a null-resource, but treat it as an - empty string (recommended by Stefan Dalibor). - -
add printerAutoClose resource to control whether printer is closed - when going offline. More than one person reports problems (on - Solaris 2.6 and Digital Unix 4.0) getting the printer to proceed - unless xterm exits; I think that it is a problem flushing the pipe. - Closing it ought to flush it. - -
adapt TOG fix-3 to in HandleKeymapChange and VTInitI18N (but adapt - XtStackAlloc/XtStackFree for clarity, as well as fixing memory leak). - -
change calls on FillCurBackground to ClearCurBackground, in effect - using XClearArea rather than XFillRectangle when clearing as a - side-effect of scrolling and insertion (patch by Alexander V - Lukyanov) - -
correct some places where insert/delete did not _move_ the color - attributes, using memmove (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov - <lav@long.yar.ru>) - -
add ifdef's for __CYGWIN32__, for port to cygnus version B19.1 - (patch by Andrew Sumner <andrew_sumner@hotmail.com>). - -
remove #define for hpux that turned on USE_SYSV_ENVVARS, since this - causes some applications (such as 'less') to get incorrect $LINES and - $COLUMNS values (reported by Clint Olsen). - -
modify behavior for HP-UX, to set the "reserved" process group - controls to _POSIX_VDISABLE so the TIOCSLTC ioctl does not produce an - error (patch by Ben Yoshino <ben@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu>). - -
correct length of underlining, reducing it by one pixel to avoid - leaving a dot when the application does not clear the whole screen - (patch by (Sergei Laskavy <Laskavy@cs.msu.su>). -
- I noticed this only recently myself (and other people as well); it - depends on the font chosen. A 6x10 font shows it, but the other - fonts (from XTerm.ad) do not. I also see a similar problem with the - emulation of bold fonts. - -
add include for Xos.h to xterm.h, to ensure proper definitions - (reported by Holger Veit). - -
update config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by - Mike Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>). -

- -

Patch #76 - 1998/5/8 - XFree86 3.9Ah and 3.3.2

- -A fix for the print-window function, and some minor cleanup: -

modify logic that closes pipe in the print-window function to not use - pclose, which does not work on all systems, since I did not open the - pipe with popen (reported by Stefan Dalibor). - -
correct name of $(EXTRA_LOAD_FLAGS) imake variable (reported - by Stefan Dalibor). - -
guard logic in ChangeGroup() function against null pointer - (reported by Stefan Dalibor). - -
ensure that menu entry for toggling sunKeyboard resource is - initialized (reported by Branden Robinson <branden@purdue.edu>). - -
gcc unused-variable warnings (reported by Bernd Ernesti - <bernd@arresum.inka.de>) - -
rename global variable 'buffer' to 'VTbuffer' -

- -

Patch #75 - 1998/5/7 - XFree86 3.9Ah and 3.3.2

- -This incorporates fixes from several people, as well as some improvements -that I made based on feedback from users: -

add option to standalone configure script, "--with-own-terminfo-dir", - which causes xterm to pass a predefined value of $TERMINFO to the - application. Also use this value in install rule "make install-ti", - for the standalone configure script. - - (patch & feedback from Tor Lillqvist <tml@hemuli.tte.vtt.fi>) - -
change ifdef's for "hpux" to "__hpux" (patch by Tor Lillqvist). The - imake configuration uses the former, but the latter is predefined by - HP's compilers. - -
define USE_SYSV_ENVVARS for HP-UX, curses does not use $TERMCAP (patch - by Tor Lillqvist). - -
on HP-UX, use the /dev/ptym/clone device to allocate PTY's. Works - both on HP-UX 9 and 10. (patch by Tor Lillqvist). - -
modify configure script to obtain the $(EXTRA_LOADFLAGS) value from - imake, needed for compiling under DEC OSF/1 (reported by - Stefan Dalibor) - -
modify print-window action so that the printer is closed after - printing a window, unless the printer was already opened (i.e., - by an application running in the window). This makes the printing - complete without having to exit xterm, since not all systems treat - fflush through a pipe very well (reported by Stefan Dalibor) - -
modify printing code so that the ^M's are not printed if the - printAttribute resource is set to zero (request by Stefan Dalibor). - -
correct typo in xterm.man, for the default value of printAttribute - (reported by Stefan Dalibor). - -
correct printing code so that the alternate character set is - printed, like other attributes, with escape sequences. - -
correct termcap description, removing spurious 'm' character from - the 'op' capability (reported by Greg Woods <woods@weird.com>). - -
correct trace code so that the initial timestamp is set. - -
correct/modify utmp data for the Linux glibc 2 configuration, - so that the ut_line member is set before using it to update wtmp - (patch by Bill Nottingham <wen1@cec.wustl.edu>). -

- -

Patch #74 - 1998/4/27 - XFree86 3.9Ag and 3.3.2

- -This corrects a couple of recent bugs and adds a new resource: -

modify definition of TRACE_CHILD so that it does not conflict with - ifdef's for USE_USG_PTYS in main.c (reported by Vikas Agnihotri - <VikasA@att.com> and Stefan Dalibor). - -
correct ownership of file (actually pipe) written by the print - controls. When undoing the setuid changes in patch #69, I overlooked - this. Now xterm forks a process which resets setuid and routes the - printer data as the real user. - -
add a new resource, "printAttributes", which controls whether - color attributes (or any attributes) are sent to the printer. -

- -

Patch #73 - 1998/4/25 - XFree86 3.9Ag and 3.3.2

- -This patch does the following: -

implements a print-window facility for xterm. Though useful in - itself, I added it as part of some debugging which I am doing. - (Occasionally during an exposure event xterm fails to restore the - proper colors for highlighted text, and printing the screen will - show the internal states nicely). -
- The print facility now also displays the color information. - (I will probably make this a resource). - -
modified the xterm-16color terminfo description to use the setaf and - setab strings, which is a little more efficient (requested by Stephen - Marley). - -
reduced some clutter of the ifdef/includes (e.g., stdlib.h, unistd.h, - errno) making the configure script test for these. -
- I removed the symbols Size_t and Time_t, since they no longer serve - a useful purpose. - -
added some debugging traces to show the initial screen size, - and the success/failure of the ioctl calls pass handle window - resizing events to the application (for Clint Olsen). -
- I also modified the trace code to produce two files since some - of the information is produced by the child process. So now - they are Trace-parent.out and Trace-child.out - -
updated configure test for ANSI compiler options to handle a - special case for HP-UX 10.x (reported by Clint Olsen). -

- -

Patch #72 - 1998/4/17 - XFree86 3.9Ag and 3.3.2

- -This is a patch from Chris Siebenmann <cks@hawkwind.utcs.toronto.edu>, -which I have cleaned up a little, and integrated into the configure script. -

-From his description: -

- This set of patches is the latest incarnation of patches originally -written by Ian! D Allen, then of the University of Waterloo and now of -who knows where; I have been carrying them forward from xterm to xterm -ever since about X11R4. What they do is add an option so that when an -iconified xterm receives output it prepends '*** ' to its icon title -and (optionally) beeps the bell; deiconifying the xterm removes the -'*** '. Over the years I've found this to be incredibly convenient for -monitoring all sorts of low-activity things. -

- -

Patch #71 - 1998/4/12 - XFree86 3.9Ag and 3.3.2

- -This patch is a slightly modified version of one by Richard Braakman, which -prevents buffer overflow in the input-method and preedit-type parsing in xterm. -I changed a couple of details to make the code more maintainable, and looked -for similar things - copying into a fixed-size buffer (found none, though I did -spot an unused variable). - -

Patch #70 - 1998/3/29 - XFree86 3.9Af and 3.3.2

- -This patch corrects some minor bugs in xterm, and fills in some more details -in the VT220 emulation: -

modify Imakefile to use SpecialCObjectRule for menu and data modules, - making xterm build properly if logging is enabled - (patch by Scott Sewall <scott@iprg.nokia.com>). - -
restore "ich" capability to terminfo entries, since - Michael Schroeder points out that "ich1" - is the one which is the problem in Solaris vi. - -
correct color of cursor, which would disappear on inverse-video - since the initialization did not compare the cursor color against - both foreground and background (reported by Olivier Calle). - -
correct abbreviation-test for -version and -help options, making - command-line option -vb work (reported by Stefan Dalibor). - -
correct a dependency between ifdef's for OPT_I18N_SUPPORT and - OPT_INPUT_METHOD (reported by Stefan Dalibor). - -
split-out character-set translations as new module charsets.c, to - implement VT220 national replacement character sets (a mode where - some of the characters are displayed as specific European glyphs). - This relies on xterm using an ISO 8859-1 font (approach suggested by - Kenneth R. Robinette <zkrr01@mailbox.neosoft.com>). - -
correct a missing increment, which made SS2 and SS3 controls - repeat the shifted character. - -
add xterm-nrc to terminfo to illustrate the VT220 national - replacement character sets. - -
reformat terminfo using new ncurses tic option "-f", which makes - if/then/else/endif expressions easier to read. -

- -

Patch #69 - 1998/3/16 - XFree86 3.9Ad and 3.3.2

- -This corrects the problem in xterm with utmp, reported by Olivier Calle -<olivier@tc.fluke.com> -as well as some other people after the XFree86 3.3.2 release. -

-The error was introduced by my patch #53 in XFree86 3.9r (October 1997). -

-The correction removes the reset of setuid/setgid before the main event loop, -and solves the problem which I had worked around in a different manner: for -some reason, the particular waitpid() call in creat_as() hangs, does not -return when the child process exits. I changed the ifdef's to force the Linux -configuration to use wait() instead. This call appears to work properly on -other platforms such as SunOS and Solaris. -

-I also added tests in the standalone configure script to check for the -existence of waitpid(). - -

Patch #68 - 1998/3/4 - XFree86 3.9Ad and 3.3.1z

- -This corrects another problem with the logic for highlightColor resource. -As reported by David Dawes: -

- I've just noticed a problem with with the "inverse" control sequence - (ESC[7m) with the 3.3.2 xterm. What it does is sets the background - black, and the text the usual foreground colour rather than simply - swapping the foreground/background. - -

-This appears to be because when I added logic to check that the highlightColor -was distinct from foreground and background colors, I did not add a further -check to see that it was not black (I would make an explicit check for the -resource not being set, but see nothing definite in the headers that would let -me reference an explicitly-undefined Pixel value, though there are some -implications in xpm.h). But this should work. - -

Patch #67 - 1998/2/23 - XFree86 3.9Ad and 3.3.1e

- -This patch does the following: -

improve test for highlightColor so that xterm does not attempt to - use that unless it is different from the foreground and background - colors (reported by Stefan Dalibor - <Stefan.Dalibor@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>. -
- I could not reproduce this until I noticed that the -rev option - exposed it nicely. - -
remove ich and ich1 from xterm and xterm-8bit terminfo descriptions. - SVr4 terminfo documents that you must not combine these with - smir/rmir, but ncurses allows it, opening a hole. Solaris 2.6 vi - does not work properly if it is using a terminfo description when - these are combined, since it was written to accommodate old terminals - that required it (reported by Stephen Marley). - -
restore 1-pixel overlap of scrollbar border with left edge of window - (reported by Jim Burmeister <jimb@metrolink.com>). - -
add a configure option, --enable-logfile-exec, which allows the - user to specify a pipe for logfile. This defines ALLOWLOGFILEEXEC. - -
makes the ALLOWLOGFILEEXEC code compile & run, if configured. - -
minor documentation nits. -

- -

Patch #66 - 1998/2/16 - XFree86 3.9Ad and 3.3.1d

- -This fixes the problem reported with failure to build the resize -program (BSDI, OSF/1) due to not having <termcap.h>, by changing the -ifdef to one that would be set only if the file exists (not currently -specified, except by the standalone configure script). We do not really need -to include <termcap.h> to build, but only for a clean compile, since it -may declare the tgetent() prototype. - -I also updated the man-page for resize, since I had recently noticed -that it can be used to resize xterm using the "Sun" control sequences -option. - -

Patch #65 - 1998/2/14 - XFree86 3.9Ad and 3.3.1c

- -This is a small patch to xterm's 8-bit terminal description. I noticed -while testing ncurses that I had specified the wrong (VT100-style) codes -for the F1-F4. Xterm only uses VT220-style function keys in 8-bit mode. - -

Patch #64 - 1998/2/8 - XFree86 3.9Ad

- -This fixes the following problems with xterm: -

save/restore the ANSI foreground and background colors with the other - visible attributes in the save-cursor and restore-cursor operations. - This works around a problem with vim, which apparently assumed that - switching between the normal and alternate screens resets the colors - (reported by Jim Battle <jb@chromatic.com>). -
- It would be nice to implement save/restore cursor as a stack (and - solve this type of problem completely), but that would lead to - incompatibility with applications which assume they are running with a - VT100 or VT220. - -
corrects behavior of a restore-cursor operation which does not - follow a save-cursor (it is supposed to set the character sets - to a known initial state). - -
extends the sunKeyboard resource (and menu toggle) to modify the - home, end and delete keys on a Sun or PC editing keypad, making them - generate codes compatible with DEC VT220's Find, Select and Remove - keys. - -
corrects a length in checking command-line options, which caused the - "-help" message to not work when X was not running. - -
adds some detail to the man-page (requested by Jason Bacon - <acadix@execpc.com>) - -
modify the standalone configure script to ignore the broken nsl and - socket libraries on IRIX 6.2 (the ones on 5.2 also are broken, so - this change just widens the check for the system version number). -

- -

Patch #63 - 1998/2/5 - XFree86 3.9Ad

- -This is another patch from Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@rsn.hp.com>, which I've -reviewed (and learned some). Following are his notes: -

-I poked around some more and finally got xterm-62 to build and run -cleanly on HP-UX 10.20. Here are the patches. They look sort of -ugly, so here's a little explanation: -

aclocal.m4: Removed side effects from the AC_CACHE_VAL - commands in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, LIBS was set inside - AC_CACHE_VAL, which worked fine the first time configure was - run, but failed if there were cached values. - -
aclocal.m4: Added temporary setting of LIBS before - AC_TRY_LINK in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, the last value set - by the AC_TRY_RUN loop was used, so only -lcurses was checked. - -
configure.in: Added temporary setting of CPPFLAGS before - AC_CHECK_HEADERS for X11 files. Previously <X11/DECkeysym.h> - and <X11/Xpoll.h> were found only if they were in the compiler's - default include directories, even if `--x-includes=DIR' had been - used or AC_PATH_XTRA had found them elsewhere. -

-The problem on HP-UX was that we were linking with -lcurses rather than --ltermcap due to the second bullet above, and apparently something in -HP-UX curses is broken. This seems very strange, because the only thing -used is tgetent, which should affect any tty/pty configuration, but I -lost interest in tracking down the exact problem. - -

Patch #62 - 1998/1/23 - XFree86 3.9Ac

- -This is a patch mostly by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net> (I added the -os2main.c change, and a little of the documentation). From Bjorn's -description: -

If you use the "-hc <color>" option or set the "highlightColor" - resource, text is highlighted by changing only the background color, - rather than using reverse video. I find this easier to read, - especially when selecting multi-colored text, and it is similar to - the way Netscape shows selections. - -
Most of the code changes are under "#if OPT_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR". The - principal exception is in screen.c, where I added a couple calls to - resetXtermGC(). This seems like it could be a bug even without - the color highlighting changes (though I don't pretend to understand - all the logic). -

- -

Patch #61 - 1998/1/17 - XFree86 3.9Ac

- -This patch modifies the reset behavior of xterm slightly: -

change the terminfo entry so that rs1 (one of the strings used by - the 'reset' program) does a hard reset rather than switching - character sets. This is more in accord with other terminal - descriptions. - -
modifies the treatment of hard reset by the xterm program to - reset the saved lines. - -
corrects hard reset by also resetting user-defined keys (DECUDK). -

- -

Patch #60 - 1998/1/10 - XFree86 3.9Ab

- -This fixes some minor bugs and adds new functionality: -

add support for blinking text. -
- This does not actually cause the - text to flash, but text with the blink attribute can be displayed - in color, using new resources colorBL and colorBLMode. - -
- If colors are not used, the blinking text will be displayed as - before (just like bold). The main purpose of this is to make - applications work properly when they assume the emulator supports - blinking text. - -
- I did this by moving the per-cell LINEWRAPPED flag to a per-line - flag, to make room for the new BLINK flag. There were no per-line - flags, so this changes a lot of logic. -
- -
corrected missing save-cursor logic in the handling of SGR 1048 - (the new control sequence I added in patch #54, 1997/10/17). - Reported by Darren Hiebert. - -
flush the output of the transparent printing after each line - Reported by Tomas Vanhala <vanhala@ling.helsinki.fi>. - -
correct the modes that are affected by save/restore cursor by adding - WRAPAROUND and PROTECTED. - -
corrected placement of one of the XSync calls that I added in patch - #51, 1997/9/15, which had the side-effect of writing on the window - border when the xterm was resizing from 132 to 80 columns. - -
work around an incompatibility of the XKB definition used in xterm - versus that symbol from IRIX 6.2's imake definitions (by adjusting - the standalone configure script). -

- -

Patch #59 - 1998/1/5 - XFree86 3.9Ab

- -My last patch has an off-by-one error in the comparison for argc. Douglas -Kosovic <douglask@dstc.edu.au> showed me where (he got a core dump). -Also, I think this explains Clint Olsen's problem, but the symptoms were more -subtle (EINVAL for a system call if the -display option is omitted). - -

Patch #58 - 1998/1/3 - XFree86 3.9Ab

- -This patch does the following: -

implement logic to permit xterm to work with proportional fonts. -
- Thomas Wolff - <Thomas.Wolff@sietec.de> - requested this (but it isn't exactly what he's asking - for - that's a more involved task). - -
- I chose to do this by rendering the characters on a fixed pitch, - because it would not be useful for existing applications to display - varying numbers of characters on each line. - -
- Except that this forces the display to be wider, it works reasonably - well. A couple of special cases (reverse + colorBD, for example) - do not display with proper colors, since the inter-character gaps - are painted with the background. -
- -
added a version number to the program (several people have requested - this). - -
make the -version and -help options interpreted before the program - attempts to open the display. - -
minor reorganization of the man-page (ordered the options, resources - and translations alphabetically - and eliminated some duplication). - -
corrected a misspelled filename in Makefile.in, and added a lint - rule. - -
updated the configure script to correct behavior when it cannot - find imake, as well as to fix the IRIX+gcc build (conflict with - /usr/include). - -
regenerated the configure script with a newer patch to autoconf - that fixes a problem with environment space vs the configure --help - message. -

Patch #57 - 1997/12/26 - XFree86 3.9Aa

- -This patch is mostly concerned with the standalone configure script; a few -minor corrections are added: -

add configure option --disable-tek4014, to allow xterm to be built - without the tek4014 emulation. - -
add configure option --with-terminal-type, to allow xterm to be - compiled with default $TERM value other than "xterm" (e.g., - "xterm-16color") -- requested by Stephen Marley <stephen@memex.com>. - -
fix a typo in the configure --help message -- reported by Darren - Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>. - -
review diffs between main.c and os2main.c, to make them more alike. - (applies some minor bug-fixes to OS/2's version). - -
add missing quotes in memmove/bcopy configure test -

- - -

Patch #56 - 1997/11/28 - XFree86 3.9x

- -This patch is based on analysis by Arfst Ludwig <arfst@luxor.IN-Berlin.DE>, -who reported: -

- Setting the following resources xterm (all current versions) receives a - segmentation fault on <Btn2Up> after scrolling: -
-
-	  *XTerm*VT100*translations:    #override \
-	      ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0)\n\
-	      Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:  insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1)\n\
-	      ~Shift<BtnUp>:       select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0)\n\
-	      Shift<BtnUp>:        select-end(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1)
-
- (The above resources intention is to be able to paste the latest - selection even if the xterm was cleared.) -
- And here is how it works (and a fix!): The widget given to the action - handler as first argument is not guaranteed to be a XtermWidget (it can - be the ScrollbarWidget). Instead of accessing the widget's member - directly XtDisplay gives the required pointer in a safe way. -

-I noticed that this was not the only instance (by reading the code, and testing -with his example), and extended the solution to check the widget-class to -ensure that it is indeed xterm's widget class before attempting to use it in -the context of translations. - -

Patch #55 - 1997/11/25 - XFree86 3.9x

- -This fixes the segmentation violation noted by Rogier Wolff about a month -ago. He'd set xterm to 400 (rows) by 150 columns, which broke because there -were limited buffers (200 rows) used for juggling data when adding or deleting -lines and for switching between alternate and normal screens. I replaced this -by an allocated buffer. -

-The bug is simple to test if you set titeInhibit false. - -

Patch #54 - 1997/10/17 - XFree86 3.9s

- -This patch does the following: -

correct a minor placement problem with the right scrollbar. - -
implement a new set of control sequences for switching between the - normal and alternate VT100 screens. These work around the older - sequences limitation that required modification of the runtime - $TERMCAP to cooperate with the titeInhibit resource (that can't work - with terminfo). I do this by moving all of the functionality of the - rmcur terminfo capability into the control sequences. - -
implement the alternate-screen menu entry -

- -

Patch #53 - 1997/10/12 - XFree86 3.9r

- -This patch adds a fix and implements a new feature (as well as some minor -typos): -

JCHANDRA@Inf.COM (JCHANDRA) noted that there was still a problem - with the wait call with the logging option. It hung when the logfile - was opened as a command-line option. I fixed this by moving the - StartLogging() call down past the place where I'd reset the setuid - mode. So the logfile is opened as the real user, without having - to fork. - -
Michael Rohleder <michael.rohleder@stadt-frankfurt.de> sent - me a patch which implements right-scrollbars for xterm. I used that - as a starting point, renamed the command-line options and reduced - the number of ifdef's. -

- -

Patch #52 - 1997/9/29 - XFree86 3.9q

- -This patch addresses bugs and requests reported by -

Bob Maynard <rmaynard@montana.com>, -
Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>, -
JCHANDRA@Inf.COM (JCHANDRA), -
Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>, -
Pablo Ariel Kohan <pablo@memco.co.il> -

- -Some of the changes are interrelated (it was an unusually busy week). -

change the default resource value for colorMode to true, matching - the Xterm.ad file. - -
correct behavior of 'ech' control, making the default and 0 - parameters erase one character rather than to the end of line - (reported by Michael Schroeder). - -
add resource boldColors, command-line options +pc and -pc and - configure-script option to specify behavior of xterm's mapping bold - colors 0 through 7 to colors 8 through 15. - (request by Pablo Ariel Kohan). - -
add resource colorAttrMode to specify whether colorULMode and - colorBDMode can override the ANSI colors - (from a problem report by Clint Olsen). - -
correct a conflict between colorULMode/colorBDMode versus ANSI - colors, where exposure events would occasionally pick up the - former (e.g., colorBD) rather than ANSI colors. Testing the - colorAttrMode made this apparent, though it has been in the - code since 3.2A (patch #35 in Jan 1997). - -
correct two problems with the optional logging support. On Linux - at least, the waitpid call in creat_as hangs when the logging is - toggled from the popup menu. Also, the mktemp template has the wrong - number of X's (since X11R5!). Fixed the waitpid problem by - exploiting the fact that the setuid behavior is reset before the - popup menus are available. - (reported by Jayachandran C.). - -
add configure script options for building with the Xaw3d and neXtaw - libraries. - -
correct CF_IMAKE_CFLAGS standalone configure script macro, so that it - will pick up $(ALLDEFINES) rather than $(STD_DEFINES). This is - needed to make scrollbars work on Linux, since that uses narrow - prototypes. - (reported by Bob Maynard). - -
various minor updates to configure-script macros. -

- -

Patch #51 - 1997/9/15 - XFree86 3.9p

- -Most of this patch is related to the standalone configure script, though -there are fixes/enhancements as well: -

add a new resource sunKeyboard, with associated command-line - option and menu-toggle that allows using a normal Sun or PC - keyboard to generated the complete DEC-style function keys - and keypad. - -
correct a reversed foreground/background test in the control - sequence that replies with the current SGR settings. - -
correct, by invoking XSync, a display problem that caused the - program to not properly update newly exposed areas when a font - change or 80/132 resize request was not completely accepted. - -
restructured autoconf macros (I made a library of all of the - macros across the complicated configure scripts I'm working on). - -
use the autoconf config.guess and config.sub scripts to better - identify the host-os. - -
improve the configure script that uses 'imake' as a fallback for - definitions. - -
correct several instances of unsigned/signed mixed expressions. -

- -I've tested the configure script on Linux, SunOS 4.1.3, Solaris 2.5.1, -IRIX 5.2 and 6.2, AIX 3.2.5 and CLIX 3.1 (all but the last run properly -as well). - -

Patch #50 - 1997/8/22 - XFree86 3.9m

- -This is a collection of small fixes, and a couple of minor enhancements: -

plug a security hole in the implementation of Media Copy (print) - by invoking setuid just before the main loop. - -
add an ifdef'd include for <sys/termio.h> for HP-UX, which allows - the program to process SIGWINCH events (this is a bug in X11R6.3) - -
add state-table entries for VT52 emulation to enter/exit keypad - application mode. - -
disable the popup-menu entry for 8-bit controls when the terminal-id - is less than 200 (e.g., VT52 or VT100). - -
ensure that the popup-menu entry for 8-bit controls is updated when - the application enables/disables this mode, including the response - to a full-reset. - -
implement VT300 DECBKM feature: set interpretation of the backarrow - key to either backspace or delete. The initial setting is via - resource; it can also be modified in the main popup menu. - -
implement VTxxx KAM (ISO AM), which allows a keyboard to be locked - (i.e., the terminal discards input). - -
implement VTxxx SRM, which is used to control local echoing of - input on the terminal. - -
add terminfo and termcap entries for xterm-8bit, a variation of - the xterm description that uses 8-bit control characters. - -
add fallback definitions for Imakefile to allow it to work on some - X11R5 systems that have no SpecialCObjectRule or ProgramTargetName - macros. - -
add .c.o and .c.i rules to standalone Makefile.in - -
correct order of -lXmu and -lXext in standalone configure script. - -
add configure script options to allow selective disabling of - active-icon, input-method and i18n code (mainly for users with X11R5 - or an incomplete X11R6 configuration). - -
change menu-indices from #define's to enum values, thereby making - it work better with the ifdef's for logging and active-icon (the - X11R6.3 active-icon code is incorrectly ifdef'd; this corrects an - error introduced by incorporating that code). - -
correct minor compile errors in the configuration where active-icon - is not used. - -
add configure option to suppress echoing of long compiler commands - -
correct spelling of decTerminalID in configure script help message - -
use gcc __attribute__((unused)) to quiet warnings about unused - parameters when compiling with -W (to make it simpler to find the - real problems). -

- -

Patch #49 - 1997/8/10 - XFree86 3.9k

- -This patch implements the VT100/VT220 Media Copy (i.e., print-screen) control -sequences. - -

Patch #48 - 1997/7/26 - XFree86 3.9j

- -This patch does the following (all but the first affect only the standalone -configure script): -

minor correction to positioning of underlines for small (e.g., 5x8) - font size. -
- The existing behavior allowed underlines to be drawn outside the - character-cell, so they weren't cleared properly under some - circumstances. - -
adds more special-case tokens to the standalone configure script's - imake-option filter (e.g., "&&", since a "make -n main.o" on my IRIX - system uses that shell construct). - -
adds a '--enable-logging' option for the standalone configure script. - -
adds check and ifdef's for the standalone configure script to allow - for building on platforms with X11R6, which lacks Xpoll.h (introduced - in X11R6.1). -

- -

Patch #47 - 1997/7/13 - XFree86 3.9i

- -This patch does the following -

corrects an indexing error in the doublesize character logic - (button.c) that caused core dump (this was reported by J. Wunsch). -
corrects the logic of ShowCursor when it is painting in a doublesize - cell (charproc.c). -
corrects, according to vttest, the behavior when switching to - doublesize characters and back again (doublechr.c). -
adds cbt (back_tab) to the terminfo description (this was something - that I'd overlooked as applicable to curses optimization last - summer). -
corrects, for the standalone xmc test, the logic for disabling xmc. -

- -

Patch #46 - 1997/7/4 - XFree86 3.9h

- -This is a patch to provide test-support for some work I'm doing on ncurses. It -does not modify the normal configuration of xterm; the code is compiled if the -standalone configure option "--enable-xmc-glitch" is specified. - -

Patch #45 - 1997/7/2 - XFree86 3.9h

- -This fixes the problem reported with xterm's cursor color versus the background -(the second chunk in this patch) and also removes some duplicate initialization -of the cursor GC's. If the cursor color at startup is the same as the -background, then xterm will use the reverse GC, ignoring the setting of the -colorMode resource. - -

Patch #44 - 1997/6/22 - XFree86 3.9g

- -This implements the first part of the VT100 doublesize characters for xterm, -as well as fixing a handful of bugs: -

the doublesize character support uses the normal font (using scaled - fonts will be another patch) with blanks to simulate doublesize - characters. This patch does most of the global changes that'll be - required. I've hidden most of the details in macros and ifdef's so - it's easy to configure out (part of the patch is a configure option - for that purpose). - -
corrected limits in DeleteChar() function -- it's always ignored the - size of the left border and scrollbar. I noticed this when working - on the doublesize characters since the glitch was doubled in size - (i.e., it wrapped some garbage around the right margin). - -
corrected 'memmove()' logic, for standalone builds (it referenced a - malloc wrapper from my development library). - -
add a check for HideCursor() to prevent repeated screen updates - (which can cause a spurious cursor glitch to appear, e.g., during - scrolling). I noticed this with the 3.2A version (but only a few - weeks ago, when I started working on this patch). -

- -

Patch #43 - 1997/6/10 - XFree86 3.9d

- -Here's a fix for two problems: -

modify handling of tgetent results in xterm and resize programs to - make them tolerant of missing termcap file, or unknown terminal name. - In this scheme, an explicit "-tn" option will succeed, overriding - the fallback list. - -
a nit in the configure script (log extra information to help diagnose - which case of the test-compile of tgetent was used). -

- -

Patch #42 - 1997/6/8 - XFree86 3.2Xl

- -Bram Moolenaar reported that the cursor color changed unexpectedly while -scrolling. The cause was that it used the same GC's as the logic that draws -the ANSI colors. The bug only appears if the cursorColor resource isn't set, -and has been present since the initial implementation early last year. (The -same bug also appears in rxvt ;-). Here's a fix. - -

Patch #41 - 1997/5/28 - XFree86 3.2Xl

- -Some nits found by Darren Hiebert (missing part of install-rule, incorrect -assignment for --enable-color-mode option). - -

Patch #40 - 1997/5/26 - XFree86 3.2Xl

- -Patch for the configure script's logic for obtaining imake predefined -symbols. - -

Patch #39 - 1997/5/24 - XFree86 3.2Xl

- -This patch does the following: -

integrate the 16-color change for 'xterm' - -
minor fixes/clarification of tgetent in terminfo vs termcap to - 'resize' -

- -(both changes also modify the configure script) - -

Patch #38 - 1997/5/22 - XFree86 3.2Xh

- -This implements a simple configuration script with autoconf (to which I'll -add more options later). It does the following: -

configures xterm to build with X11R5 (at least on SunOS 4.1, Solaris - 2.4, possibly IRIX - sorry network was down today, but I did test - an earlier version yesterday). - -
enables/disables the configuration ifdef's for ANSI color and VT52 - emulation. -

-It does not make tests for the things that imake does (that's another project), -instead it uses a hybrid of the autoconf tests for libraries and adds imake's -compiler options (which are necessary in some cases to get main.c to compile). - -

Patch #37 - 1997/5/7 - XFree86 3.9a

- -This corrects a minor, but annoying error in the vt220 emulation: the DECUDK -is only supposed to be interpreted for _shifted_ function keys. - -

Patch #36 - 1997/1/16 - XFree86 3.2r

- -This corrects something that I overlooked in patch #27 (21-aug-1996), which is -that when trimming the region to be repainted for the highlightSelection -resource of xterm, I still have to paint the background past the highlighted -region. This only happens when I first do a selection in a window that's -partly off-screen, then move the window on-screen. - -

Patch #35 - 1997/1/7 - XFree86 3.2o

- -This patch does the following: -

combines the coding for foreground and background colors into a - single byte, reducing the memory required to store saved-lines in - color. (I'll take back that byte in a following patch to use to - ensure the character-set, so there's no long-term decrease in memory - use). - -
modifies the PF1-PF4 coding in termcap/terminfo. Because xterm is - still by default emulating vt100, the function key codes are - vt100-compatible (I overlooked this in patch #31). - - I also reformatted the whole terminfo file into a single-column, - for consistency. - -
adds an interim xterm-vt220 description to accommodate the old and new - styles of function-keys (though probably it'd be better to drop the - old-style altogether). -

- -

Patch #34 - 1997/1/5 - XFree86 3.2o

- -This patch does the following: -

implement DECSTR (soft terminal reset). The biggest diff is due to - adding another state table (note that there's only one useful state - here, but it's only 256 bytes rather than 1k as it would have been - before I reduced the size of state entries). - -
some minor tidying up (e.g., signed/unsigned use bitcpy, MODE_DECCKM, - resetColor, resetCharsets). More is done in patch #35. -

- -I got the description of DECSTR from a vt420 user's manual. I'll do some -testing with vttest to ensure that there's nothing else to do than what was -documented. - -

Patch #33 - 1996/11/24 - XFree86 3.2

- -This adds to the reset-fix by Matthieu Herrb <Mathieu.Herrb@mipnet.fr> a -small change to make xterm able to output 8-bit characters in VT100 mode. - -Applications that run on real VT100's don't do that anyway, and this feature -should be removed sometime after finishing off the VT220 emulation (VT220's can -do 8-bit characters). That would be a good time to change the default -terminal-id to 220. - -

Patch #32 - 1996/11/21 - XFree86 3.2

- -This implements the REP (repeat) control for xterm. That isn't part of the DEC -VTxxx series, but is defined in ISO 6429. (Note that the base xterm terminal -description is not changed -- I added a variant, "xterm-rep"). - -

Patch #31 - 1996/11/16 - XFree86 3.2

- -This implements vt52 emulation in xterm (ifdef'd so it can be removed). -I've been using it for testing for the past month or so. - -

Patch #30 - 1996/11/16 - XFree86 3.2

- -From bug-report by <auroux@clipper.ens.fr> (Denis Auroux), missing reset to -ground state. I checked through the rest of that table and found another, -in the unimplemented MC (screen print). - -

Patch #29 - 1996/9/15 - XFree86 3.1.2Gb

- -This patch does the following: -

corrects the restoration of color for bold/underline color mode - -
adds a resource 'decTerminalID' to control the reporting level of - xterm (e.g., VT100, VT220). - -
uses the new resource to implement/correct the DA1, DA2 and - DECRPTUI reports. - -
change valid-response code in DECRQSS from 0 to 1 (the manual says 0, - but the VT420 terminal I've been testing on says 1). -

- -All of these changes are based on vttest 2.6 -

-(Most of the volume in the patch is to add 2 more state tables for parsing -the 2nd/3rd device-attribute controls). - -

Patch #28 - 1996/8/31 - XFree86 3.1.2F

- -This patch corrects the following reported by Roland Rosenfeld -<roland@spinnaker.rhein.de>: -

handle SGR 22, 24 and 25 in combination with colorUL and colorBD - resources. Also noted & fixed reset of colored underline/bold - with SGR 0. - -
a typo in the termcap (missing '['), from 3.1.2Dj (my error) -

- -Roland also complained that he couldn't use box characters with -

-	-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
-

-but that's a known xterm limitation (the box characters must be part of the -font, in the first 32 locations). - -

Patch #27 - 1996/8/21 - XFree86 3.1.2Ek

- -This patch fixes one of my long-term gripes: xterm's selection doesn't clearly -show what's being selected (as per David's request, it's controlled by a -resource, which defaults to the older behavior). - -

Patch #26 - 1996/8/20 - XFree86 3.1.2Ei

- -Here's a patch to fix a problem with xterm's cut/paste and another to modify -the appearance of the highlighting while selecting. (The changes are -independent, so you can see if the change to screen.c is desirable). - -

Patch #25 - 1996/8/18 - XFree86 3.1.2Ei

- -Here's a correction for two minor bugs that I picked up in testing, plus -some lint (from Solaris 2.5) where NULL was used incorrectly: -

make the second alternate font the same as the first (that's what - vt420 and dtterm do) - -
corrected DECSCL report when DECSCL hasn't been set (i.e., don't - return a '60'). -

- -

Patch #24 - 1996/8/11 - XFree86 3.1.2Ee

- -This patch does several things. In effect, xterm can (I think) do a reasonably -good job of emulating vt220 and vt320 terminals (as well as it was doing -vt100, at any rate ;-). -

-It does NOT do: -

soft fonts - -
rigel or sixel graphics -

-Anyway, I: -

added ECH, CPL, CNL, SU, SD, CBT, CHT controls - -
added popup-menu for switching between DEC and Sun function keys. - (corrected alignment err wrt logging entry at that point). - -
make xterm recognize both 8-bit and 7-bit controls (including - popup menu for switching modes). - -
add user-definable function keys (aka DECUDK) - -
support concealed text - -
support protected text (both ISO compatible and DEC compatible - - that's not the same thing, btw), with SPA, EPA, DECSCA, DECSED, - DECSEL controls. - -
implement DECSCL. -

-I'll be continuing to test this patch for a while, but don't expect to add any -new functionality (it passes all of the current tests I've built in vttest, but -I need to make more tests).. - -

Patch #23 - 1996/7/31 - XFree86 3.1.2Ec

- -This removes the blinking cursor I added last week (for performance reasons). -Time-permitting, I'll revisit this after 3.2 is released (there will be more -work after XFree86 3.2, I assume). - -

Patch #22 - 1996/7/26 - XFree86 3.1.2Ec

- -I looked more closely at my "double-negative" and realized that I had been -confused by the default color scheme (black on white) in combination with -reverse video. However, I did see that the original_fg and original_bg data -weren't really used - so I removed that logic. -

-Also: -

during initialization, check if ANSI colors are set with non fg/bg - values, disable color mode if not. This makes xterm tolerant of - applications that allocate the whole color map. - -
implemented blinking cursor (default is off) -

- -

Patch #21 - 1996/7/24 - XFree86 3.1.2Ec

- -This patch does the following: -

fixes some minor typography in the control-sequences documentation - (it didn't occur to me til I'd sent the last patch that I could use - ghostview for previewing the troff output ;-) - -
adjusts the shell's background color in ReverseVideo so that flicker - in resizing is reduced - -
adds an ifdef OPT_ISO_COLORS to allow configuring xterm without - the ISO color support (saves a lot of memory) - -
used that ifdef to isolate/modify logic so that if the user doesn't - have the colorMode enabled, then ISO color support is disabled (saving - memory). -
- (If anyone needs numbers, I had savedLines set to 2000, and found - a reduction from ~700k to ~400k of allocated memory, according to - Purify). -

- -

Patch #20 - 1996/7/24 - XFree86 3.1.2Ec

- -This documents the changes in control sequences for window operations that -I added in my previous patch. I'm testing another patch that allows the -user to use less memory if colors aren't needed. - -

Patch #19 - 1996/7/21 - XFree86 3.1.2Ec

- -This patch does the following: -

fixes the core dump that I reported on IRIX 5.2 (in main.c) -
- (it's worth noting that this bug exists in X11R6.1, so I'd like - to assume that someone's already submitted a fix to X Consortium...) - -
change the interpretation of zero rows or columns in a resize-window - request to use the root window's size (looking more carefully at - dtterm, that seems to be what it does). - -
change some memmove calls to memcpy for slightly better performance. - (also, a couple of memset calls to bzero - Quantify says bzero runs - 20% faster, I assume because there's one less argument). - -
interpret character sets 1 and 2 (so that vttest gives a reasonable - result) Both rxvt and dtterm do something equivalent. - -
fix a minor memory leak in the logic that retrieves the window or - icon names (Purify found this for me while I ran vttest). -

- -

Patch #18 - 1996/7/18 - XFree86 3.1.2Ec

- -This implements the following: -

escape sequences that act like the CDE dtterm's window operations - (though I have implemented the default width and height -- I've seen - a rather buggy dtterm running that seems to treat width=0 or height=0 - literally -- maybe that's a feature, not a bug?) - -
minor tweak to the screen-repainting when resizing (I still cannot - entirely get rid of flicker). - -
still more fixes to terminfo & termcap (I corrected my error for - the hpa code and added some other stuff by comparing to ncurses' - description and rxvt's). - -
a tweak to the patch by Michael Rohleder for the color translation - -
re-order attribute codes to allow later implementation of protected - fields (dtterm supposedly does this; it's probably more useful than - blinking or invisible text -- that uses up all of the available bits - without changing the attribute scheme radically). -

- -

Patch #17 - 1996/7/2 - XFree86 3.1.2Eb

- -This patch implements for xterm several minor features from ISO 6429 which are -useful for terminfo applications. The HPA and VPA control sequences allow -cursor movement along a row or column, cutting down a little on the characters -transmitted. The other codes allow resetting specific graphic rendition -attributes without modifying the other attributes. - -(now if someone just had time to implement blinking cursors...) - -

Patch #16 - 1996/6/25 - XFree86 3.1.2Ea

- -Adam Tla/lka <atlka@pg.gda.pl> told me a couple of weeks ago that I'd missed -some of the background coloring in xterm. I investigated, and found that while -I'd picked up on the clear-to-bottom and clear-to-end-of-line operations, I'd -overlooked the insert/delete lines. Just so I wouldn't overlook any more of -these, I updated a copy of vttest to test ISO colors and bce (background color -erase). This patch introduces a new function, ClearCurBackground, whose calls -replace the direct XClearArea calls that I'd overlooked. - -(There's also a few compiler warnings fixed, etc ;-) - -

Patch #15 - 1996/5/29 - XFree86 3.1.2E

- -This fixes the problem reported by David Dawes, by making the 50msec select -timeout for the Xaw3d arrow scrollbar a resource. (I made it a boolean for a -variety of reasons -- to make it a number, you'd need an additional resource, -to avoid breaking the logic). - -

Patch #14 - 1996/5/12 - XFree86 3.1.2Dj

- -This patch brings the termcap and terminfo descriptions for xterm up to date. -I made the following changes: -

reformatted the terminfo description in a single-column (this is ok - for terminfo, and will simplify future patches -- can't do that for - termcap, since it would impact buffer requirements on some systems). - -
omitted obsolete features in termcap to save a little space (bs, pt) - -
added color capabilities to termcap (ut, Co, NC, op, AB, AF) - -
corrected some capabilities (vi, ve) - -
added 'st' (set tab) - -
reduced function keys in termcap for 'xterm' to 12 because color - capabilities makes that description larger than 1023 characters. - -
created new termcap name 'xtermm' (monochrome) to match the terminfo - list, and make that description have 20 function keys. - -
added corresponding color capabilities to terminfo (bce, colors, - pairs, op, ncv, setab, setaf) - -
corrected corresponding capabilities in terminfo (civis, cnorm, - rmcup, smcup) - -
added capabilities (el1, hts) - -
in both, corrected home/end keys to match the code correction made - by Thomas Mueller in 3.1.2Bk - -
=> (I'm still considering modifying the code & description to match - the rxvt program). -

- -

Patch #13 - 1996/4/23 - XFree86 3.1.2Df

- -This corrects my earlier changes for colors - the inner border of the xterm was -getting painted with the wrong color, since I'd moved the call to set the -background into the logic that tracks SGR information. - -

Patch #12 - 1996/3/16 - XFree86 3.1.2Dc

- -This corrects a memory leak in xterm that happens whenever one switches fonts. - -

Patch #11 - 1996/3/5 - XFree86 3.1.2Db

- -This patch corrects the behavior of the ANSI colors in xterm when reverse -video is used, as well as some other lesser sins: -

button.c -
- (compiler warnings: shadowing of 'time', redundant cast) -
- -
charproc.c -
- renamed screen.colors[] array to screen.Acolors[] to more - easily distinguish the non-ANSI colors from the ANSI colors. - -
- moved logic of SGR_Save() into VTInitialize, getting rid of - local private variables original_fg and original_bg. - -
- moved some logic into getXtermForeground and getXtermBackground - from SGR_Foreground, SGR_Background, etc. - -
- corrected misleading 'row' to 'col' in case for CUF, CUB - sequences. -
- -
ctlseqs.ms -
xterm.man -
- (correct a misconception which I'd added that the color0 - through color6 resource values apply to non-ANSI colors) -
- -
ptyx.h -
- added original_fg, original_bg to TScreen structure. -
- -
scrollbar.c -
- (compiler warnings: redundant cast) -
- -
util.c -
- new functions getXtermForeground and getXtermBackground replace - the macros GET_FG and GET_BG, with the added functionality of - checking for the reverse-video status of xterm. - -
- in ReverseVideo, swap the SGR foreground and background colors - also. -
-

- -

Patch #10 - 1996/2/14 - XFree86 3.1.2Cd

- -I observed an occasional glitch in the xterm's color behavior; a clear to end -of line would get a color that had been used in a program that supposedly reset -colors. I traced this down to the way xterm was modifying colors of GC's on -the fly; it didn't restore the original color of the GC, even though it would -later be used in functions (such as ClearRight) that assumed (my error) that -the GC would have the current foreground or background color. -

-I fixed this by resetting the GC's colors with a new function 'resetXtermGC()', -and direct calls on SGR_Foreground/SGR_Background, as appropriate and using a -new function 'updatedXtermGC()' to encapsulate the logic that modifies the GC's -color. (I also removed some commented-out code that was trying to do this -- -the problem was a little more obscure). - -

Patch #9 - 1996/2/10 - XFree86 3.1.2Cb

- -This patch fixes the remaining problems that I had making xterm run with x11r5, -as well as a couple of other bugs. It follows my patch from yesterday, that -added ifdef's for some of the input-method resources. -

corrected ifdef's that suppress the input-method code (doesn't - exist in my x11r5, and xterm works adequately without it). - -
corrected fallback definition for 'Select()' macro (oops: I'd - copied the wrong text...) - -
moved the declarations for the fd_set variables to data.[ch] - -
corrected an ifdef in resize.c (sunos 4.x doesn't have termcap.h) - -
corrected (in main.c) some unused/orphaned variables. -

- -

Patch #8 - 1996/2/9 - XFree86 3.1.2Cb

- -This is mostly a documentation patch for xterm. It describes the color control -sequences in more detail, and documents some other features of xterm that -aren't described elsewhere. -

-I've also added a couple of ifdef's to fix (part of) the problem that I'm -working on (making the program work properly on x11r5, where I'm doing memory -testing -- I have a "good" version from mid-January, but my resync version -doesn't work properly on x11r5). I'm not done with that yet. - -

Patch #7 - 1996/1/28 - XFree86 3.1.2n

- -I did a (clean) build of 3.1.2n on Linux 1.2.13 (ELF). I've got an S3 card. -

-This fixes the following in the 3.1.2n xterm: -

initialize cur_foreground, cur_background in charproc.c (Purify - told me they weren't initialized). - -
add interpretation of codes 39, 49, to reset background and - foreground to default value (I'm told that ISO 6429 does this; but I - don't have a written reference -- yet -- can anyone help here?). - Anyway, rxvt does it, and it'll solve my remaining color management - problems. - -
shadowing of 'time' in menu.c - -
'Cardinal' vs 'int' in scrollbar.c - -
several changes to permit compile with X11R5 (the system that I've - got Purify on won't be upgraded to X11R6 for a long time). -

-I built this version (with a minor nit that I'll patch soon) on SunOS 4.1.3 so -that I can test it some more with Purify. -

-btw: -the changes made in Xpoll.h won't work on some older systems, because - fd_set isn't a defined type (I've got one machine at least that this - applies to). - -

Patch #6 - 1996/1/8

- -This patch does all of the SGR foreground/background fixes (i.e., clearing the -screen after an SGR color is set causes that color to be used in the foreground -and/or background). If the FG_COLOR and/or BG_COLOR flags aren't set, then the -xterm foreground and background default to the window's values. This usage is -consistent with various types of hardware (especially the IBM PC), and is also -used in rxvt. -

charproc.c: -
- add/use new macros GET_FG, GET_BG - n/c. - -
- add/use new functions SGR_Foreground() and SGR_Background() - to set corresponding colors in GC's, and to retain sense of - "original" colors. - -
  - => This makes redundant some of the corresponding logic - in HideCursor to set the foreground and background, - but I left it in since it may be fixing an unrelated - requirement. - -
- set GC's in LoadNewFont() according to whether the SGR fg/bg - colors are active. - -
  - => This fixes some glitches in the accompanying resize, - that leaves parts of the window in the original - background color. -
- -
screen.c: -
- modified ClearBufRows() to use the SGR fg/bg colors if - they're set. - -
- added function ScrnClearLines(), used this to replace - portions of ScrnInsertLine() and ScrnDeleteLine(). - The new function uses the SGR fg/bg colors if they're - set. - -
  - => Otherwise, selection after an index or reverse index will - paint the wrong colors. - -
- modified ScrnDeleteChar() and ScrnInsertChar() - to use SGR fg/bg colors. -
- -
util.c: -
- modified ClearRight() so that if either of the SGR fg/bg - colors is set, we don't bzero the attributes and color - arrays, but instead fill them with the appropriate codes. - -
- modified ClearLeft to use SGR fg/bg colors. -
-

- -

Patch #5 - 1996/1/7

- -This patch modifies the object code, by replacing indexing expressions with -temporary variables with the full indexing expression. At first glance, this -seems inefficient (it did to me ;-), until remembering comments made in the -compilers newsgroups that trying to "help" the compiler doesn't really work -that well. A good optimizing compiler can do a better job than the programmer -can. (There's a moral in the use of 'register' variables also, but I won't fix -those...). -

-Anyway, the revised code generates a smaller object... -

charproc.c: -
- recode index expressions in ShowCursor() and HideCursor() - using SCRN_BUF_xxxxS macros - changes object. - -
- replace constant '4' by MAX_PTRS - n/c. -
- -
ptyx.h: -
- defined the SCRN_BUF_xxxxS macros in terms of BUF_xxxxS - macros, to pick up references to ScrnBuf data directly, and - added MAX_PTRS symbol to pick up those '4' constants strewn - about the code - n/c. -
- -
screen.c: -
- recode index expressions in ScreenWrite() using - SCRN_BUF_xxxxS macros - changes object. - -
- replace constant '4' by MAX_PTRS - n/c. - -
- use macros BUF_CHARS, BUF_ATTRS - n/c. - -
- cast calloc to 'Char *' to fix compiler warning on IRIX - n/c -
- -
scrollbar.c: -
- replace constant '4' by MAX_PTRS - n/c. - -
- cast calloc to 'Char *' to fix compiler warning on IRIX - n/c -
-

- -

Patch #4 - 1996/1/7

-When setting up for this phase, I saw that you'd corrected the bug that I found -in ClearLeft. I decided to make this series of patches anyway, since -readability never hurt (and there's the potential for finding another bug while -reviewing this set). -

button.c: -
- use SCRN_BUF_xxxxS macros - n/c -
-
charproc.c: -
- use SCRN_BUF_xxxxS macros - n/c -
-
ptyx.h: -
- added four macros: SCRN_BUF_CHARS, SCRN_BUF_ATTRS, - SCRN_BUF_FORES, SCRN_BUF_BACKS to represent the four - arrays that are derived from screen->buf. -
-
screen.c: -
- use SCRN_BUF_xxxxS macros - n/c -
-
util.c: -
- use SCRN_BUF_xxxxS macros - n/c -
-

Patch #3 - 1996/1/7

- -This is my third (and final cleanup) patch for xterm. It gets rid of the -unused stuff, and converts several functions to static (thereby reducing their -scope). -

-At this point, the only compile warnings I've got (on Linux) are those about -the select arguments (int vs fd_set type), and a missing declaration for -waitpid. Those both are hard to get right without autoconfigure. -

-The next patches will address the functional changes... -

Tekproc.c: -
- changed several functions to 'static' that aren't used -outside this module -- changes object -
-
charproc.c: -
- changed several functions to 'static' that aren't used -outside this module -- changes object -
- deleted unused function unparsefputs -- changes object. -
-
main.c: -
- changed several functions to 'static' that aren't used -outside this module -- changes object -
- ifdef'd out unused function 'consolepr()' -- changes object -
- removed unused variable 'dummy_tio' -- changes object -
- moved variable 'discipline' to quiet unused-warning -- changes object -
-
main.h: -
- deleted unused definition of DEFBORDERWIDTH - n/c -
-
misc.c: -
- changed several functions to 'static' that aren't used -outside this module -- changes object -
- provide dummy return statements for xerror and xioerror to -quiet compiler warnings -- changes object -
-
ptyx.h: -
- change sbuf_address and abuf_address to 'Char *' - n/c -
-
resize.c: -
- changed several functions to 'static' that aren't used outside this module --- changes object -
-
screen.c: -
- remove unnecessary 'Char **' casts - n/c -
-
util.c: -
- changed several functions to 'static' that aren't used outside this module --- changes object -

Patch #2 - 1996/1/7

-This is my second patch to xterm. It corrects most of the gcc warnings (except -for some that are due to X header files ;-). I compared objects to keep track -of the changes that don't affect the object code (n/c) versus those that do. -

-At this point, I'm compiling (fairly) clean with gcc options -

-	-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wshadow -Wnested-externs
-

-(I also compiled with -Wshadow, but while that found some things that I wanted -to find, there's far too many warnings from the X headers to be usable in this -context). -

-The changes: -

Tekproc.c: -
- parenthesized expression to avoid gcc warning -- n/c. - -
- corrected nested-extern declaration for Bool - waiting_for_initial_map; ourTopLevelShellArgs, and - number_ourTopLevelShellArgs - n/c - -
-
charproc.c: -
- corrected potentially-unintialized variables 'scstype', 'xim', - and 'input_style' -- changes object. - -
- adjusted logic of VTparse so that gcc won't warn about setjmp - clobbering parsestate -- changes object. - -
- corrected initialization of 'scstype', which could have been - clobbered by setjmp/longjmp - changes object. - -
- corrected nested-extern declaration of 'term', 'ProgramName' - - n/c -
- -
cursor.c: -
- corrected nested-extern declaration of 'term' -- n/c - -
- renamed 'term' parameters to avoid gcc -Wshadow warning - n/c -
- -
input.c: -
- change interface of StringInput to assume size_t (i.e., - unsigned) nbytes -- changes object. - -
- change interface of funcvalue, and sunfuncvalue to use - 'KeySym' type instead of 'int' - changes object. -
- -
main.c: -
- moved definitions of SIGNAL_T, SIGNAL_RETURN to proto.h - n/c - -
- corrected missing params of 'do_hangup()' -- changes object - (note: the missing params were not used). - -
- corrected missing param of 'Error()' -- changes object - -
- corrected nested-extern 'environ' - n/c - -
- adjusted assignments to 'tty_got_hung' and 'no_dev_tty' so - that gcc can see they won't be clobbered by the longjmp - - changes object. - -
- use Size_t type - n/c. -
- -
menu.c: -
- removed redundant prototype for 'do_hangup()' -- n/c. - -
- renamed 'time' parameters to avoid gcc -Wshadow warning - n/c -
- -
menu.h: -
- renamed 'time' parameters to avoid gcc -Wshadow warning - n/c -
- -
misc.c: -
- corrected definition of 'HandleFocusChange()' -- changes - object - -
- cast parameters in call to 'TekExpose()' -- n/c - -
- corrected nested-extern declarations of 'term', 'toplevel', - ProgramName, and 'environ' -- n/c. - -
- use Size_t type - n/c. -
- -
proto.h: -
- moved definition of SIGNAL_T (and SIGNAL_RETURN) here from - main.c, resize.c to allow use of this symbol in prototypes - (mostly in xterm.h). - -
- added definition 'Size_t' to use as corrected type for - strncpy, malloc sizes - n/c. -
- -
resize.c: -
- moved SIGNAL_T definition to proto.h -- n/c. - -
- use Size_t type - n/c. -
- -
screen.c: -
- use Size_t type - n/c. -
- -
tabs.c: -
- corrected nested-extern declaration of 'term' -- n/c -
- -
util.c: -
- corrected/supplied parameters to 'TekExpose()' -- changes - object (note: 'TekExpose()' doesn't use its parameters). - -
- corrected nested-extern declaration of - 'waiting_for_initial_map' -- n/c. - -
- renamed 'term' parameters to avoid gcc -Wshadow warning - n/c -
- -
xterm.h: -
- prototype 'do_hangup()', 'HandleFocusChange()', - 'TekExpose()', 'Error()', 'Exit()' - forces changes in - various places. - -
- adjusted prototypes that pass 'Boolean' arguments to use - 'int' (this is the "correct" ANSI approach to extended - compiles; it's worth mentioning that gcc doesn't meet the - ANSI spec here). I used gcc -Wconversion to find these, but - there's a lot of unrelated warnings that are due to setting - NARROWPROTO in the config - n/c. - -
- renamed 'term' parameters to avoid gcc -Wshadow warning - n/c -

Patch #1 - 1996/1/6

-This is my first cleanup patch for xterm. It addresses all of the gcc warnings -for -Wall, -Wmissing-prototypes and -Wstrict-prototypes that I can change -without modifying the object code. (I'm compiling this with gcc 2.7.0 for an -aout target, which makes it simple to compare objects. When I do ELF-only, -I've got a tool that compares that sort of thing as well). -

-Briefly, this patch adds (and uses) two header files in the xterm directory: -

-	proto.h
-	xterm.h
-

-I expect this to be the biggest patch by far. However (barring a misplaced -prototype), it shouldn't break anything, since the intent of the patch is to -provide missing declarations. - - -- cgit v1.2.3
