New version. Patch 331 - 2017/12/30
* add workaround for improper grayscale adjustments made in FreeType
library, exposed by changes to rounding in 2.8.1, which shows up as
a gap in line-drawing characters (Debian #880407).
* improve a special case where a non-Unicode font's line-drawing
characters were not used, when specifying it via the utf8Fonts
resource, e.g.,
-fs 15 \
-xrm '*VT100.font:12x24' \
-xrm '*VT100.boldFont:12x24' \
-xrm '*VT100.utf8Fonts.font: 12x24' \
-xrm '*VT100.utf8Fonts.boldFont: 12x24' \
* replace constant 10msec delay for next X event with new resource
nextEventDelay, and reduce that to 1msec to accommodate faster
machines than used when -hold was implemented in 1999 (Debian
#877628).
* add scroll-to action, which simplifies binding a key to scroll to
the beginning or end of the saved-lines (Debian #880120).
* add building blocks for alternate screen and/or title-stack
features in the terminfo file.
* improve calculations for cell-data size.
* change configure script to enable XHTML/SVG screen dumps by
default.
* change configure script to enable 256-colors by default.
* update config.guess, config.sub
* change configure script option for --with-man2html to use improved
script by default.
* add case for private mode 1044 in DECRQM, to report the
keepClipboard resource setting and corresponding menu entry.
* fix an inconsistency between private mode 12 (the AT&T 610 cursor
blink) and DECSCUSR: the former relied on having the cursorBlink
resource set initially to enable the escape sequence, while the
latter does not.
* add private modes 13 and 14, as well as resource cursorBlinkXOR to
allow better control over the cursor-blinking state (discussion
with Bram Moolenaar).
* modify the html and svg screen dumps to support direct color
* modify media copy (screen-printing) to support the same SGR codes
as DECRQSS, including 88/256 indexed color as well as direct color.
* improve options-parsing for query-status.pl script.
* modify parsing of SGR direct-color control making color space
identitier optional. The corresponding DECRQSS reply always returns
an empty (default) field for the identifier.
* add wide-attributes to DECRQSS reply for SGR.
* add private mode 1046 to help with scripting applications.
* correct expression used for readline-flags in DECRQM; to test the
current flag rather than information stacked within the same
variable.
* correct typo in ctlseqs.ms reference to ISO-8613-6 (patch by Mike
Frysinger).
* fix lintian warning for test-package.
* fix typo in DECRQSS for SGR 48, which printed the foreground value
for colors past 15. Also use colon delimiter for codes 38/48 in
response (report by Paul LeoNerd Evans).
* improve workaround for Debian #542434 by using the font's maximum
width when no ISO-8859-1 glyphs are provided (Debian #879936).
* work around a special case of Xft's mismanagement of its cached
data by adding a check before the -report-fonts option to ensure
that it does not use an XftPattern which may have been freed during
a call to XftFontOpenPattern.
* improve manual page description of regex option for onXClicks
resources (report by Lukas Mai).
* add directColor resource.
* additional manpage macro cleanup (Brandon Robinson, Debian
#880551).
* add optional support for direct-colors (adapted from patch by
anonymous “Nibby Nebbulous”).
* improve legacy/NRC character set mapping (patch by Thomas Wolff):
+ enable alternate NRC set designators for French and French
Canadian, ‘9’ and ‘f’ respectively, as documented in ctlseqs.
(‘9’ is documented for VT510, ‘f’ is a Kermit feature).
+ correct the Unicode value in the DEC Technical table to show
capital delta.
+ referring to
http://vt100.net/docs/vt220-rm/table2-3b.html
http://vt100.net/docs/vt320-uu/appendixe.html
add entries for the DEC Supplemental Graphics table to display
0x28/0xa8 as ¤ and 0x5d/0xdd as Ÿ.
+ referring to
http://www.vt100.net/charsets/technical.html
alter the Unicode values used for 0x2b through 0x2c to use
curly braces to work with the “middle” parts displayed with
0x2f and 0x30.
+ modify the VT220 “Supplemental” table, giving a hint that it
was probably meant to be “Supplemental Graphics” and is the
same as VT320's table.
* quiet a few font-warnings when a derived fontname cannot be opened,
overlooked in refactoring of font resources in patch #328
(initially reported on Cygwin mailing list, with followup).
* correct error response for DECRQSS broken in cleanup of Coverity
reports in patch #288 (reports by Bram Moolenaar and IWAMOTO
Kouichi).
* improve DECRPM responses by returning mode not recognized for modes
which may not be settable due to the selected decTerminalID
resource (report by IWAMOTO Kouichi).
* correct logic for print-immediate action, and enable corresponding
menu entry (patch by Lauri Tirkkonen).
* add configure option --with-pcre2 (patch by David Michael).
* fix a misspelled subsection title in ctlseqs.ms and add a note
regarding blink which was rendered as bold in X11R6. Blinking text
was implemented in Patch #60.
* fix typos in xterm.man (patches by Sven Joachim, Larry Hynes).
* fix typography in xterm.man (patch by Bjarni Ingi Gislason, Debian
#869248).
* fix typo in INSTALL (Larry Hynes).
* add xterm-direct terminal description based on changes introduced
in patch #277, and relying upon ncurses RGB extension.
* modify xterm-new terminal description to use ECMA-48 REP,
reflecting its use in xterm since patch #32 (1996).
* clarify comment in ctlseqs.ms regarding blink: it has been part of
xterm since patch #60 (1998).
* update ftp URLs in documentation.
