Patchlevel 8 (Dez 2020)
USER INTERFACE CHANGES:
o Shift + Wheel Up pans left, Shift + Wheel Down pans right.
Alt or Meta + Wheel Up pops up the edit panel, Alt or Meta + Wheel
Down pops up the drawing panel. Previously, Shift + Wheel Up or Down
popped up the edit or drawing panel, respectively, and panning
sideways could only be achieved by moving the wheel sideways.
NEW FEATURES:
o To display gif image files, either giftopnm and ppmtopcx from the
netpbm package, imagemagick, or graphicsmagick must be installed.
o Obey the resolution given in embedded png, tiff and jpeg image files.
o Embedded image files are displayed in full color, not reduced to
a maximum of 256 colors.
o Display embedded pdf files.
BUGS FIXED:
o Read version 1.3 fig files.
o The default resolution of embedded raster images is changed
from 80 dpi to 72 dpi.

o Get correct bounding box (/MediaBox) of embedded pdf files.
Pkgsrc changes:
* Remove patches integrated upstream.
* No longer need the "-full" dance.
* Add license setting, it's similar to mit

of mouse wheel, or horizontal movement on touchpad).
CHANGES:
o Rename the text flag "Special Flag" to "TeX Flag".
o Interpolated splines are now created with the recommended value of the
shape factor of -0.5, not with -1.0. A description of the shape factor
as used in xfig has been added in the file doc/FORMAT3.2

o When entering the "Save as..." dialog, moving to a new directory and
pressing "Cancel", a subsequent "Save" wrote to the new directory.
This happened analogously for the "Export" dialog. Fixed, ticket #9.
These packages are susceptible to bugs when confronted with non-ASCII
characters.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94182.
It takes some time to analyze and fix these individually, therefore they
are only marked as "needs work".
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.

o Should compile on Mac (Darwin) after installing dependencies using
Macports, Fink or Homebrew.
o Add two rudimentary tests. Run with make check.
UI CHANGES:
From Brian V. Smith. These changes were made because the original

On OS X 10.9, the find command to repair directory modes fails,
apparently because the directory is 600, without even the owner x bit.
Add an extra chmod to fix that before the find. (No PKGREVISION++,
because the binary package will be unchanged if it built before.)
alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and
follows the current standard model for alternatives (fam, motif, fuse etc).
The mechanical edits were applied via the following script:
#!/bin/sh
for d in */*; do
[ -d "$d" ] || continue
for i in "$d/"Makefile* "$d/"*.mk; do
case "$i" in *.orig|*"*"*) continue;; esac
out="$d/x"

done
While here, fixes permissions for documents in post-extract stage to allow
access by unprivilaged users, and it should resolve PR 42366.
Bump PKGREVISION.
This is a security update.
changes:
-fix some unsecure tmpfile writing (CVE-2009-1962)
-more bugfixes
-symbol library extensions
-changed default browser to firefox and default pdf viewer to xpdf
-HTML MAP export (fig2dev) produces reference to .png file instead
of .gif now
-minor UI improvements
packages with the modular Xorg equivalent. Those are falling back
to the old location by default, so this commmit doesn't change
dependencies.
graphics/xpm ==> x11/libXpm
fonts/Xft2 ==> x11/libXft
x11/Xfixes ==> x11/libXfixes

RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
Summary of changes from CHANGES.xfig:
Patchlevel 5-alpha5 (April, 26, 2004):
NEW FEATURES:
o Added note to README and FAQ html file:
If the Xaw or Xaw3d Athena widget sets are compiled with the
ARROW_SCROLLBAR style of scrollbars, there is no StartScroll action
and you won't be able to scroll using the wheel on the mouse.
If you want to be able to scroll using the wheel, you must recompile
the Xaw library from sources, disabling the ARROW_SCROLLBAR option.
o Astrological symbols for planets in Miscellaneous/Astrology by Andrew Collier
o Added key bindings to text dialogs to be more like modern systems (the
Athena Widget Set that xfig uses is very old):
Home: beginning-of-line
End: end-of-line
Del: delete-character-right
o Added *.jpeg* to picture browse options
o New libraries for electronics from Fabio González in
Libraries/Electronics/Schematic/More
BUGS FIXED:
o typo in latex_and_xfig.html and LATEX_AND_XFIG files. Text should be:
\convertMPtoPDF{foo.0}{1}{1}
It was missing parameters {1}{1}
o -correct_font_size missing from -help option list and man pages
o -help and -version didn't work unless they were first in the options
o -O option wasn't passed to fig2dev for overlapping pages in multiple
page mode for PostScript export
-----------------------------------
Patchlevel 5-alpha4 (Feb, 19, 2004):
Note: There is a minor change to the copyright/permission notice for xfig.
Basically, I have restored the part that allows one to sell xfig
regardless of whether it is bundled as part of a package or not.
This is identical to the original copyright/permission notice for
xfig, which was based on the MIT (then later, the X Consortium)
copyright notice.
Here is the new notice (different files have different author
copyrights at the top):

> Copyright (c) 1985-1988 by Supoj Sutanthavibul
> Parts Copyright (c) 1989-2002 by Brian V. Smith

o Can adjust width and height directly in popup editor for picture
objects
o Support for David Hawkey's Xaw3D version 1.5E
(http://www.visi.com/~hawkeyd/xaw3d.html)
BUGS FIXED:
o When loading a library object, if it contained only a compound and
nothing else, when xfig promoted that compound to the toplevel the
main comment was lost
o Incorrect header files used for SmeBSB resulted in either segfault or
none of the command panel entries being underlined
o Drawing very large splines (e.g. at zoom = 0.01) caused integer
roundoff errors, making xfig loop indefinitely
o Bug where a line that had a zero width or length arrowhead was not
redrawn after being moved, copied, canvas redraw, etc.
o The page border and axis lines would obscure Fig objects when moving,
copying etc. other objects on the canvas.
o In the popup picture editor, if the relative position of the corners
of the picture were changed, the rotation field was not updated
(this bug was in 3.2.5-alpha3 only)
o line, arc, ellipse length tool was reporting 0 length
-----------------------------------
Patchlevel 5-alpha3 (Dec, 9, 2003):
NOTE:
o URL for information about the color optimization code (written by
Anthony Dekker) has changed to:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~dekker/NEUQUANT.HTML
NEW FEATURES:
o -autorefresh command-line option (resource: Fig.autorefresh) which
will make xfig look at the timestamp on the .fig file and
automatically load it and display it everytime it changes.

focuses on the entry as long as the pointer is anywhere in the dialog
o When using the "Open compound, keep rest visible", the other objects
are drawn in shades of gray similar to the inactive layers feature.
o New library objects: adder, multiplier, sine-source and voltage-source
in Electronic/Schematic by Hubert Lam
o Zooming in or out with the Z or z key respectively will keep the canvas
centered on the mouse pointer
o Full version and patchlevel is included in Fig file header for
diagnostics

From Andrew B. Collier
BUGS FIXED:
o Missing #ifdef XAW3D in SimpleMenu.c
o Bug when breaking a compound object - depths were added twice to the
counts
o When implicitly cancelling the placement of a library object by
choosing another mode, xfig would tell user to cancel or finish the
current operation, but there was no way to do that
o Picture Reread button was active before file was read the first time
o Rereading picture in edit popup produced bad colors
o When using multiple copies of an imported picture, h/w ratio was not
computed for copies
o Importing PCX images were incorrect when bytes per line different from
width*bpp
o When passed a filename containing a directory name for a Fig object
library using -library_dir, and that directory only contains Fig files
and no subdirectories with Fig files, xfig segfaulted
o Several checks for memory allocation failure added to the library
loading procs
o Forgot to free allocated memory when return abnormally from loading
libraries
o Path length check in loading libraries fixed
o Missing include for put_msg prototype in e_measeure.c
o Needed #ifdef for XtVersion in SmeBSB.c (X11R5 doesn't have
international fontset)
o Added SIGPIPE signal to ignore in case an external program dies when we're
using pipes
o Screen capture on an MSBFirst X server with 24/32 bits per pixel was
incorrect.
o Importing any image file on such a server was incorrect (bytes/bits
reversed).
o Reading GIF or PCX files on 24-bit server *and* on big-endian machine
(e.g. Sparcstation) resulted in bytes being swapped and funny colors
o Could popup unit dialog when drawing/editing objects
o Embedded whitespace in filenames in recently loaded files weren't
parsed properly (.xfigrc)
o When pasting an object on the canvas, point positioning grid wasn't used
o Bug when reading a compressed eps file (file handle was passed to open
proc instead of name)
o Minor grid spec used twice instead of minor/major when passed to fig2dev
o Fixed conversions of export/print grid values when switching to/from
metric, decimal or fraction
o When loading or merging a file, xfig appended ".fig" to the name if
there wasn't ".fig" in the name. Now it only appends ".fig" if there
is no suffix (no ".").
o When appending the ".fig" before the previous change, xfig would segfault
o Libraries/Electronic/Schematic/transformer and transformer_ironcore
aligned to 1/16" grid
o Bugs in indicator panel display of text flags, dimension line params
and arrow size params when cycling through settings with middle or
right mouse button
o Bug in callbacks for dimension line checkboxes that select actual
length or user text
o When exporting to Combined PDF/LaTeX it uses ".pdf" and ".pdf_t"
suffixes because LaTeX doesn't recognize ".pdftex" as a PDF file
o Better clipping around arrowheads on thick lines (lines that are
thicker than the arrowhead is wide)
o Checks for open splines of < 2 points when reading figure file and
removes them
o Clicking middle mouse button after creating first point of closed
spline switched to freehand mode
o Export panel sections would get messed up when changing export
languages
o Now checks whether scrollbars support StartScroll before trying to use
it for the wheel scrolling. When the Xaw widgets are compiled with
ARROW_SCROLLBAR, there is no such action.
o pstex_t export lacked border option (-b) to align LaTeX text when
pstex figure specified border (also fixed in fig2dev)
o Create one picture object with no filename, then create another and
xfig crashed
o Some bugs when freeing dimension line components
o Bad choices for grid dot spacing in metric mode in the 5mm grid, and
decimal inch mode in the 0.5 and 1.0 inch grids
o -international flag missing from xfig.html and xfig.man docs
o Added call to XsetLocaleModifiers() when initializing input method
(-international mode only)
o xfig was limiting arrowhead lengths to 50 pixels instead of 50 inches,
and the width to 10 pixels instead of 10 inches.
o edit panel for circles shouldn't have "angle" entry
o edit panel wasn't allowing typing in of negative angles for text and
ellipses
o Objects were sometimes drawn with a wild point when zooming
o Full path was being added to default export filename and wasn't
changing when user changed directories
o When drawing a box or rounded box with the "show line lengths" on, the
sizes were in Fig units (1200ppi) instead of user units.
o Spacing cedilla (ISO 0xB8 / octal 270) was missing from CompKeyDB file
o Changing the units in the popup edit panel for a text object caused a
segfault.
o Rulers and grid didn't change scale when user scale was != 1.0. Even
though the message window showed the correct user scale when drawing
objects, the rulers and grid still showed the unscaled values.
o Axis lines through 0,0 now drawn after page border so it remains
visible when there is a grid
o Segfault if current directory was deleted after starting xfig
o Positioning grid was set to "ANY" when editing a compound object,
causing the original bounding box to be lost
o Bug in arc drawing caused arcs to be drawn as circles at high zoom
o Computing the area of a polygon larger than 38x38 inches overflowed
calculation
o Bug in bounds calculation for ellipses and circles that increased
bounding box even with line width = 1
o Limit on number of styles in a family wasn't checked
o If all depths were turned off and any edit operation was attempted on
the canvas such as move object, delete object, xfig would hang,
searching for objects indefinitely.
