Patch #330 - 2017/06/20
• updates for ReGIS (Ross Combs):
□ remove redundant text command error check which broke T(B) and T(E).
□ retain the loading alphabet number across multiple “L” commands.
□ add S(T) delay handler.
□ fix some color handling error messages.
□ add stubbed-out macrograph handling.
□ use fragment_remaining() and fragment_consumed() instead of manually
checking position / length in various places.
□ rename some local variables in string / extent / option parsing
□ wrap some long lines.
□ move macrograph command handling out of the top-level.
• add a summary of the italic fonts loaded to -report-fonts option.
• modify the font-lookup for italics to allow for “-i-” if no match is found
with slant “-o-” (prompted by patch by Ben Wong).
• change default values for mkSamplePass and mkSampleSize to reflect
generally-improved locale support in various operating systems (FreeBSD #
219800).
• modify wcwidth.c to return -1 for non-Unicode values, and adjust a couple
of blocks to better match assumptions about ambiguous-width characters in
other implementations. Also modify wcwidth.c to support configurable
soft-hyphen, so there is no drawback to using this version rather than a
system wcwidth.
• amend change made in patch #328 for cursor-visibility to handle case where
an application is updating the reverse-video state (FreeBSD #219800).
• update tables of combining and ambiguous-width characters in wcwidth.c
based on Unicode 10.0.0.
• build-fix for --enable-sixel-graphics without --enable-regis-graphics
(reports by Sven Joachim, FreeBSD #219945).
Patch #329 - 2017/06/12
* add control sequences for reading the Sixel and ReGIS graphics
sizes (suggested by Ben Wong).
* add a workaround for wcwidth returning -1 for characters which
should have been printable (FreeBSD #219800).
* fix a bug in font initialization from patch #328 (FreeBSD #219800).
* fix a special case in HideCursor which assigned a bold font to the
slot used for normal font in changes for italics in patch #307
(Debian #858304).
* updates for ReGIS (Ross Combs):
+ Strings specified with no command are used as "comments".
Print these in the log when tracing.
+ Catch attempts to use "alternate display" mode (AKA "blink")
from the GIGI, but do not implement it.
+ The T(M) command should only multiply the height by 10, not
20.
+ Make the S(E) command reset more state than just the screen
contents.
+ Remove two rotation variables which were only being printed.
+ Numerous minor fixes and comment updates in the R command.
+ Unknown R command option names trigger an empty response.
+ Fix the output position after printing rotated text (it was
missing the the sign before).
+ Fix the position change with pixelvectors and rotated text
(the rotation transform was not being applied).
+ Update the TODO list and remove a verification FIXME (slanted
text positioning is correct as is).
+ Emulate the approximately 1.4x enlargement for text which
isn't rotated at right angles.
+ Only update the color planes specified in the plane mask (the
W command's F option).
* fix a bug introduced by the changes to font information in patch
#328. When processing the "checkfont" option of the locale
resource, the program referred to the request data, to an array
which was only allocated in the new/result widget (report by H
Merijn Brand).
* fix a missing assignment initialization to make the utf8 resource
control whether escape sequences to enable/disable UTF-8 mode are
allowed.
Patch #328 - 2017/06/01
* revise parser for charClass resource, making these improvements:
+ accept octal and hexadecimal values
+ allow embedded whitespace
+ allow the class after colon to be optional, e.g., to clear
class settings for a range of characters.
* add command-line option -report-charclass.
* fix most lintian warnings about test-package
* add eraseSavedLines resource.
* document DECSED 3 in ctlseqs.ms (report by Ben Longmans).
* improve integration between configure-events and updates for
reported screensize, in particular when switching between vt100 and
tek4014 modes.
* modify selection-highlighting of reverse-video text to keep that
distinct, e.g., by reversing the selection foreground and
background colors as one would expect. This fixes a "useless" case
in the description of highlightColorMode.
* improve fix for Debian #759734, addressing a case where non-colored
cursor would be invisible against reverse-video (see patch #311).
* updates for ReGIS (Ross Combs):
+ the "H" option of the "T" command should multiply by 10, not
20.
+ display unknown glyphs as a solid block.
+ given a succession of text-direction options, use the last.
+ fix the direction of ReGIS slanted text so that negative
values produce oblique output .
+ fix the ReGIS text direction option to only rotate characters
when no following size option is used.
* update terminfo to better match corresponding entries in ncurses,
e.g., u8 pattern to match the VT220, VT420, etc., primary
responses, as well as adding smxx and rmxx.
* fixes from Jörg Sommer:
+ corrected a trace-message regarding maximum graphics-size; it
used the similar ReGIS maximum size which might not be
configured.
+ in do_select_regex, clear selection if there is no match. If
the regex does not match anything around the cursor, the
selection returned must be empty, otherwise the whole line is
treated as a match. This way the command defined by
exec-selectable will not be executed if there is no match.
+ modify limit in do_select_regex to include the character at
the cursor in the match, making it easier to type something
and then hit the key to trigger exec-selectable.
+ If exec-selectable or insert-selection is triggered by a mouse
button click, the position of the mouse pointer should be
used. This makes it easier to address any position on the
window and it makes it possible to use the mouse, e.g., for
applications such as mutt where you cannot move the cursor.
* modify DECRC to save/restore xterm's last-column flag used to
control wrapping behavior rather than manipulating DECAWM
(report/analysis by Mattias Engdegård).
* add configure option --enable-terminfo-env to use the value set by
--with-own-terminfo for the $TERMINFO environment variable. That
variable was set automatically for HPUX, but would be useful in
other systems, e.g., for Solaris (request by Jeff Wieland).
* fix a race condition when setting up a signal handler to timeout if
opening /dev/tty hangs (patch by Tobias Stoeckmann).
* review/cleanup resources which were not in the manual page (report
by Maxwell Anselm):
+ add manual page description as needed.
+ drop resource name for menuBar, as unnecessary.
+ modify fallback numeric value for regisScreenSize resource to
match that for maxGraphicSize.
* updated configure macros CF_ADD_CFLAGS, CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS,
CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_MATH_LIB, and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from other
program-changes.
* update config.guess, config.sub
* change “maximum screensize” assumed by resize to 9999x9999, to
accommodate people using the Unreadable font.
* drop Utility from default value of --with-desktop-category (Debian
#780176).
* widen the configure script pattern used for finding related
".desktop" files, including “Terminal”
* several minor improvements to font utility functions:
+ provide for later modification to implement font-sets by
parsing the font resources as comma-separated lists.
+ parse -fn and -fa similarly, using “x:” and “xft:” prefixes
for font name/family strings to distinguish between XLFD and
Xft font specifications.
+ use loops to iterate over font classes
+ use getters/setters for font data to allow for on-demand
lookups.
+ make the debugging trace for missing glyph less verbose since
that interferes with the -report-fonts option.
+ refactor xtermLoadFont to make it clearer how some fonts are
derived from others, e.g., bold, wide.
+ make the triggering and suppressing of font-warnings more
consistent by storing the last state in the widget.
+ reduce font-warnings by checking for repeated warnings.
* add vttests/query-status.pl
* add vttests/closest-rgb
* add special case for displaying soft-hyphen if it happens to fall
at the right margin, and omitting similar case such as the BIDI
markers, where a zero-width character is neither a control
character nor a combining character (Debian #844325).
* modify logic for OSC 52, manipulate selection data, to update the
selection-time to include the latest X events. This fixes some
cases where the selection was invalid, e.g., after an event due to
focus-follows-mouse (report/testcase by Stephane Chauveau).
* revise macro CastMallocN as new macro TextAlloc to make explicit
use of sizeof(char) (prompted by patch by Cade Foster).
* add “Mouse Ops” menu entry and related resources to allow runtime
disabling/enabling of the mouse protocol escape sequences
(discussion with Bob Proulx).
* improve discussion of mouse actions versus protocol in the manual
(discussion with Bob Proulx).
* improve discussion of environment variables in the manual, pointing
out where some features (such as termcap and the System5 COLUMNS
and LINES variables) are used rarely, mainly to support legacy
applications.
* add examples of translations resource for select/paste, and for
font-size changes to the manual.
* minor reordering of some entries in ctlseqs.ms for consistency
(report by Arran Ubels).
* add -s option to 256colors2.pl and 88colors2.pl, to demonstrate
modifying the “system” colors 0–15.
* omit XFT_SPACING property from call to XftPatternBuild, to work
around a bug in fontconfig for handling Google Go fonts, whose
names sort in an order not expected by fontconfig, causing the
request for a monospaced font to return italics, e.g.,
$ fc-match 'Go Mono:spacing=monospace'
Go-Mono-Italic.ttf: "Go Mono" "Italic"
(report by Giacomo Boffi on Stackoverflow).
* modify minstall.in to improve a workaround added to the manual page
in patch #182 to avoid having the C preprocessor used in the imake
configuration strip out the comments in the character classes
section (reports by Ted Unangst, Anthony J Bentley).
Patch #327 - 2016/10/07
* add a check in the function which handles end-of-line wrapping to
ensure that C1 controls are allocated one column when
allowC1Printable is set (Debian #738794).
* use consistent error-checking after strtol calls, fixes a case
where a query with OSC 6 did not ensure there was a valid color
number (report by Alex Smith).
* add -baudrate option, for testing ncurses.
* always generate the CASE_xxx symbols in VTparse.h and Tekparse.h,
as part of a change to improve debug-logging. This makes the build
always depend upon awk.
* modify allowC1Printable to disallow codes 160-254 as being
equivalent to codes 32-126 when parsing escape sequences (Debian
#839220).
* amend fix from patch #326 for TrueType fonts to exclude the hidden
character used for double-width cells (report by Grady Martin).
* fix a typo in ctlseqs.ms
Patch #326 - 2016/09/25
updated appdata file (report by Richard Hughes).
improve discussion of the different terminal emulations provided by xterm in the manual page.
add examples of setting the icon title with/without the window title in the manual (Debian #833984).

add action allow-bold-fonts
improved formatting fixes for manual page, using script to find mismatches in spelling of resources, actions and menu entries.
improve documentation of logging resources.
fix a special case of flickering cursor by adding GraphicsExpose to the list of event types that should not trigger making the mouse cursor visible (patch by Joe Peterson).
correct initialization of line-drawing in VT52-mode, overlooked in changes for patch #297 (report/patch by Ben Wiley Sittler).
minor clarification of form-feed versus line-feed in ctlseqs.ms (suggested by David Kemper).
amend fix for Debian #738794 to restore a check for missing characters which are not combining characters. Also fill in a corresponding special case for TrueType fonts (Debian #827905).
Patch #325 - 2016/06/05
improve manual page discussion of function keys (discussion with Ross Combs).
further improve fix for Debian #545220 in patch #248, to avoid conflict with combining characters (Debian #738794).

review #ifdef statements, listed those which do not have a configure option in xtermcfg.hin.
fixed one case where the menu sensistivity for Print-All Immediately and Print-All on Error was not properly ifdef'd.
modify terminfo entries for 16-, 88- and 256-color to reset palette with rs1 capability.
accept legacy value of -kt as synonym for the oldXtermFKeys resource, and extend the full-reset logic to use the keyboard type set via -kt.
modify ioctl calls for I_PUSH to first check if the module has been added, using I_FIND. This is needed for newer Solaris libraries with c11 support (adapted from patch by Alan Coopersmith).
add check in getXtermCombining to ensure that combining characters were allocated (report by Tor Andersson).
add configure option --without-xinerama to allow suppressing the extension (Gentoo #580936).
update keysym2ucs.c based on Unicode 9.0
fixed most cppcheck --enable=all warnings, including for style (prompted by report by David Binderman). There was one bug-fix:
RGB least-squares computation in allocateClosestRGB used only one ordinate
add cppcheck to lint-like programs in configure script and makefile.
updates for SIXEL and ReGIS (Ross Combs):
Fixes some const correctness issues and points out an array lifetime issue
Sixel drawing should still happen after an error if some commands have been processed
Tiny steps toward reporting ReGIS input

ECMA-48, to explain why C1 controls do not occur in the decoded
characters from UTF-8 byte streams (prompted by discussion with
Poul-Henning Kamp).
modify check for cursor-theme from patch #301 to also check if
the resource Xcursor.theme is set to a nonempty value before

discussion).
provide OSC 106 as an alternative to OSC 6, avoiding conflict
with one of Terminal.app's undocumented escape sequences (report
by Egmont Koblinger).
fix an off-by-one in comparison when autowrap and left/right
margins are combined (report by George Nachman).
modify DECBI and DECFI to work outside the left/right margins,
since the vague VT520 reference manual could support that

to groff's man/html conversion.
review and modify resource-settings which can be set via control
sequences, etc.
change passedPty from fixed-length to allocated to ensure that
it is long enough to hold the -S option value (report by Ben
Longbons).
improve ReGIS graphics initialization (Ross Combs):
Patch #311 - 2014/09/18
* mention xclip in manpage as an alternative workaround for copying
clipboard data, noting that selectToClipboard (from patch #209) is
the recommended approach (Debian #639094).
* correct comparison in do_select_regex() of working position against
starting column.
* correct initialization for regular-expression feature of
exec-selectable and insert-selectable actions (Debian #758633).

* account for state of reverse-video in special case of cursor
coloring (Debian #759734).
* fix a sign-extension problem in ReGIS support, as well as
correcting a case where ignored-characters were not really ignored
(patch by Ross Combs).
* Enable the "Escape Sequence" menu entry when an OSC 50 is received.
Also disable it if the escape sequence specifies no font (Debian
#760208).

recovery used the "current font", it would fail if one first
selected a valid font, then an invalid font (Debian #760207).
* correct an off-by-one in limit-check for ScrnLimitChar function
(report by Egmont Koblinger).

* amend reset for cursor-shape to take into account cursorUnderline
resource (report by Christian Weisgerber).
* update config.guess, config.sub
This release reviewed/improved features reset on "hard reset" and
implemented four SGRs, for completeness. There were several other
minor fixes/improvements.
303:
This release fixes a regression in validation against /etc/shells
and adds a check for paths which match /etc/shells via a symbolic
link.
302:
This release fixes several minor bugs and adds a new command-line
option to show colors as they are allocated.
300: This release fixed a problem when running in XFCE4.
299: This release fixed an error in line drawing.
298: This release fixes several minor bugs and adds a new option
"-report-fonts" to show which fonts are actually loaded.
This release revises and extends the DEC NRCS (national replacement
character set) feature, adding several character sets and making
it usable in a UTF-8 environment. There are other fixes for a few
control sequences, improvements in font handling, and improvements
to configurability.
Thomas E. Dickey says it has hard-to-fix layout issues and slows
the startup, so turn the option default off.
Bump PKGREVISION for the default change from on to off.
modify delimiter in configure macro used to add a library
after a given library to avoid confusion with -Wl
pass-through options to linker (NetBSD #48031).
fix quoting in expression used to trim extra libraries from
patch #295 changes (report by Thomas Klausner).
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
Improves configurability of openpty versus posix_openpt functions.
Adds a new feature PasteControls to enable control characters (other
than formatting) to be pasted. Several minor bugfixes.
