"Root" preedit 7439 type is easy to implement but not useful; "OnTheSpot" 7440 preedit type is the best in the point of view of user 7441 interface but very complex. And more, "OverTheSpot" is the 7442 preedit type which the most XIM servers support. Thus, to 7443 achieve reasonable usability, support of "OverTheSpot" 7444 preedit type is needed.</li> 7445 7446 <li>In "OverTheSpot" preedit type, the preedit 7447 (preconversion) string is displayed at the position of the 7448 cursor. On the other hand, it is XIM server's 7449 responsibility to display the preedit string. Thus, it is 7450 needed for XIM client (here XTerm) to inform the XIM server 7451 of the cursor position. And more, to achieve good visual 7452 proportion, preedit string must be written using proper 7453 font. Thus, it is XIM client's responsibility to inform the 7454 XIM server of the proper font. The font must be supplied by 7455 "fontset". Fontset is a set of fonts with charsets which 7456 are specified by the current locale. Since XTerm uses 7457 ISO10646 fonts regardless of the current locale, the fonts 7458 for XIM must be prepared separately. It is difficult to 7459 prepare fonts which are similar to XTerm font. Thus, my 7460 patch uses a simple way - the default font is "*" which 7461 matches every fonts and X library will automatically choose 7462 fonts with proper charsets. I added "-fx" command option 7463 and "ximFont" resource to override this default font 7464 setting.</li> 7465 7466 <li>changed the definition of "OverTheSpot" preedit type 7467 from XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusArea to 7468 XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusNothing.

By calling 7472 XSetLocaleModifiers() with parameter of "", it can consier 7473 XMODIFIERS environmental variable which is a standard way 7474 for users to specify XIM server to be used.</li> 7475 </ul> 7476 </li> 7477 7478 <li>adjust configure script to accommodate repackaging of 7479 keysym2ucs.c as include-file for xutf8.c (patch by Tomohiro 7480 Kubota).</li> 7481 7482 <li>add the <code>UXTerm</code> app-defaults file to makefile 7483 install rules (request by Juliusz Chroboczek).</li> 7484 7485 <li>correct logic in <code>get_termcap()</code>, which returned 7486 false if the <code>tgetent()</code> call indicated that xterm 7487 was linked with terminfo. Although the <code>$TERMCAP</code> 7488 variable cannot be adjusted in this case, xterm still needs 7489 information from this call to extract data to initialize the 7490 erase-mode when the <code>ptyInitialErase</code> resource is 7491 false.</li> 7492 7493 <li>modify <code>ScrollbarReverseVideo()</code> function to 7494 cache the original border color, so it can restore that when an 7495 application flashes the screen (Bugzilla #38872).</li> 7496 7497 <li>resync with XFree86 CVS 7498 7499 <ul> 7500 <li>remove ifdef's for X_NOT_STDC_ENV (patch by David 7501 Dawes).</li> 7502 7503 <li>add Cygwin to special errno handling case in ptydata.c 7504 (Alan Hourihane)</li> 7505 7506 <li>set screen size earlier in initialization, to address a 7507 race with window manager resizing its clients (Keith 7508 Packard).</li> 7509 </ul> 7510 </li> 7511 </ul> 7512 7513 <h1><a name="xterm_157" id="xterm_157">Patch #157 - 2001/6/18 - 7514 XFree86 4.1.0</a></h1> 7515 7516 <ul> 7517 <li>clean up button.c and input.c (patch by Juliusz 7518 Chroboczek). The basic idea is to use a single set of APIs in 7519 the XTerm core, and put a set of workarounds in a separate 7520 file. As you will notice, this drastically simplifies parts of 7521 the code; in particular, the only remaining ifdefs related to 7522 the differences between Xutf8 and legacy systems are related to 7523 the selection provider logic. This defines two new files, 7524 xutf8.h and xutf8.c, provide some half-hearted but fully 7525 portable emulation for the three Xutf8* functions that XTerm 7526 uses. Putting these in a separate file will allow people to 7527 experiment with more complex versions without making the core 7528 of XTerm more difficult to maintain. The functionality of the 7529 emulation is as follows. 7530 7531 <ul> 7532 <li>Xutf8TextListToTextProperty fully handles XStringstyle 7533 and XUTF8StringStyle. It will only generate STRING for 7534 XStdICCTextStyle, and wil only generate Latin-1 in 7535 XCompoundTextStyle (but label it as COMPOUND_TEXT, as the 7536 spec requires). (I have hesitated to make this function 7537 fail for XStdICCTextStyle and XCompoundTextStyle; this 7538 might be a smart thing to do, in the hope that the 7539 selection requestor will try UTF8_STRING afterwards; 7540 opinions?)</li> 7541 7542 <li>Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList fully handles STRING and 7543 UTF8_STRING. It systematically fails for 7544 COMPOUND_TEXT.</li> 7545 7546 <li>Xutf8LookupString will properly handle single-keystroke 7547 input for the keysyms covered by Markus' keysym2ucs 7548 function.

There was 7587 little use for Foreground as a class other than to create 7588 occasional confusion and bug reports, most recently by Nelson 7589 Beebe who reports that it disables colors in xterm but not on 7590 Linux, which is probably due to a difference in resource 7591 evaluation order. A configure script option 7592 (--disable-color-class) is provided for anyone who did use the 7593 older behavior.</li> 7594 7595 <li>fix a signal-handling bug. When running xterm with 7596 <code>ksh</code> or similar shell such as bash 2.05, xterm will 7597 hang and not respond to keystrokes after the user types 7598 <code>suspend</code>. Additionally the popup menus do not 7599 respond, so it is not possible to send SIGCONT to the shell. 7600 What is happening is that the shell is sending itself SIGSTOP, 7601 and it is being stopped. Per specification it also means that 7602 the operating system is sending SIGCHLD to parent to the bash 7603 (XTERM). Now the issue is that xterm assumes it cannot happen 7604 and it expects to receive SIGCHLD only upon 7605 <em>termination</em> of its children. This causes a deadlock 7606 with xterm waiting for the child to die, and the child waiting 7607 for SIGCONT.

It is believed to follow the ICCCM + 7790 UTF8_STRING to the letter, both in UTF-8 and in eight-bit mode. 7791 From his description: 7792 7793 <ul> 7794 <li>When compiled against XFree86 4.0.2, the patched XTerm 7795 will make the selection available as COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING 7796 or UTF8_STRING in both modes.

However, due to an unexpected 7814 combination of ICCCM extensions by various bits and pieces 7815 of the libraries, interacting with previous versions of 7816 XTerm will work in many locales even without this flag. 7817 (Please do not set this resource to true by default, as 7818 this would violate the ICCCM.)</li> 7819 </ul> 7820 </li> 7821 7822 <li>improved error checking/reporting in VTInitI18N(), ensuring 7823 that lack of input method styles is treated distinctly from a 7824 mismatch.</li> 7825 7826 <li>remove an incorrect ifdef from patch #141 which suppressed 7827 overstriking to simulate bold font when xterm was compiled to 7828 support wide characters (report/analysis by Adam M Costello 7829 <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #76404, Debian 7830 #77575).</li> 7831 7832 <li>modify <code>RequestResize()</code> function to 7833 save/restore window manager hints. Its call to 7834 <code>XtMakeResizeRequest()</code> had the undesirable 7835 side-effect of clearing window manager hints, e.g., when 7836 switching to 132-columns via DECCOLM escape sequence. Window 7837 manager hints make it simple to resize xterm in terms of 7838 character cells rather than pixels (reports by Christian 7839 Weisgerber, Debian #79939). 7840 7841 <p>This applies to the normal configuration.

I see this 10096 problem on a SunOS system running X11R5; the X11R6 servers seem 10097 well behaved.</li> 10098 10099 <li>Implement new escape sequence, private mode 1049, which 10100 combines the switch to/from alternate screen mode with screen 10101 clearing and cursor save/restore. Unlike the existing escape 10102 sequence, this clears the alternate screen when switching to it 10103 rather than when switching to the normal screen, thus retaining 10104 the alternate screen contents for select/paste operations. 10105 10106 <p>When I implemented the popup menu entry to toggle between 10107 the normal and alternate screens, I considered only pasting 10108 from the normal screen to the alternate; this improvement 10109 allows either direction.</p> 10110 </li> 10111 10112 <li>Changed the termcap and terminfo for xterm-xfree86 and 10113 xterm-8bit to use the new 1049 private mode.</li> 10114 10115 <li>Modify the logic which switches between normal and 10116 alternate screens so that the save/restore cursor operations 10117 apply only to the current screen. That means that applications 10118 which use the terminfo smcur/rmcur or termcap ti/te 10119 capabilities will restore the cursor to the original position 10120 on the normal screen rather than to the most recent place where 10121 a save-cursor operation was performed. 10122 10123 <p>I note that a real VT100 terminal would not behave in this 10124 way, but it is a moot point since the VT100 does not 10125 implement alternate screen, and therefore the save/restore 10126 cursor sequence would not be used in this context. I reviewed 10127 the logic which switches between normal and alternate screens 10128 based on some recent newsgroup postings as well as a proposed 10129 patch in the Debian group which attempts to do this (the 10130 patch has a bug, however, so I did not use it).</p> 10131 </li> 10132 10133 <li>Add popup menu entry for toggling the titeInhibit 10134 resource.</li> 10135 10136 <li>Add new resource answerbackString, which overrides the 10137 default "xterm" returned by xterm when responding to an ENQ 10138 (control/E) character (request by Rajesh Vaidheeswarran 10139 <rv@fore.com>).</li> 10140 10141 <li>Add new resource keyboardDialect for setting the NRC 10142 display character set (request by Tomas Vanhala, who notes that 10143 I should add logic to translate the keyboard as well).</li> 10144 10145 <li>Add new command-line option and corresponding resources for 10146 making xterm generate escape sequences compatible with HP 10147 terminals. Like the existing Sun escape sequences, this is 10148 available as a popup menu item. It is enabled by the configure 10149 script with the option --enable-hp-fkeys (requested by Toni 10150 Mueller <sales@oeko.net>).</li> 10151 10152 <li>Add configure script option --disable-boxchars to disable 10153 the fallback support for line drawing characters.</li> 10154 10155 <li>Fix ifdef's for configure script --disable-ansi-color, and 10156 reviewed all configure options to ensure that all can be 10157 enabled/disabled appropriately.</li> 10158 10159 <li>Update config.guess and config.sub, from Lynx.</li> 10160 </ul> 10161 10162 <h1><a name="xterm_89" id="xterm_89">Patch #89 - 1998/11/20 - 10163 XFree86 3.9Nm</a></h1> 10164 10165 <p>This patch completes the implementation of double-sized 10166 character support for the VT100 emulation, and fixes a few minor 10167 bugs:</p> 10168 10169 <ul> 10170 <li>corrected the cursor position in HideCursor, which did not 10171 multiply the column by two when in doublesize mode.

Following are his notes:</p> 10943 10944 <p>I poked around some more and finally got xterm-62 to build and 10945 run cleanly on HP-UX 10.20. Here are the patches. They look sort 10946 of ugly, so here's a little explanation:</p> 10947 10948 <ul> 10949 <li>aclocal.m4: Removed side effects from the AC_CACHE_VAL 10950 commands in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, LIBS was set inside 10951 AC_CACHE_VAL, which worked fine the first time configure was 10952 run, but failed if there were cached values.</li> 10953 10954 <li>aclocal.m4: Added temporary setting of LIBS before 10955 AC_TRY_LINK in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, the last value set 10956 by the AC_TRY_RUN loop was used, so only -lcurses was 10957 checked.</li> 10958 10959 <li>configure.in: Added temporary setting of CPPFLAGS before 10960 AC_CHECK_HEADERS for X11 files. Previously 10961 <X11/DECkeysym.h> and <X11/Xpoll.h> were found only 10962 if they were in the compiler's default include directories, 10963 even if `--x-includes=DIR' had been used or AC_PATH_XTRA had 10964 found them elsewhere.</li> 10965 </ul> 10966 10967 <p>The problem on HP-UX was that we were linking with -lcurses 10968 rather than -ltermcap due to the second bullet above, and 10969 apparently something in HP-UX curses is broken. This seems very 10970 strange, because the only thing used is tgetent, which should 10971 affect any tty/pty configuration, but I lost interest in tracking 10972 down the exact problem.</p> 10973 10974 <h1><a name="xterm_62" id="xterm_62">Patch #62 - 1998/1/23 - 10975 XFree86 3.9Ac</a></h1> 10976 10977 <p>This is a patch mostly by Bjorn Helgaas 10978 <helgaas@dhc.net> (I added the os2main.c change, and a 10979 little of the documentation). From Bjorn's description:</p> 10980 10981 <ul> 10982 <li>If you use the "-hc <color>" option or set the 10983 "highlightColor" resource, text is highlighted by changing only 10984 the background color, rather than using reverse video. I find 10985 this easier to read, especially when selecting multi-colored 10986 text, and it is similar to the way Netscape shows 10987 selections.</li> 10988 10989 <li>Most of the code changes are under "#if 10990 OPT_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR".

It addresses all of 12663 the gcc warnings for -Wall, -Wmissing-prototypes and 12664 -Wstrict-prototypes that I can change without modifying the 12665 object code. (I'm compiling this with gcc 2.7.0 for an aout 12666 target, which makes it simple to compare objects. When I do 12667 ELF-only, I've got a tool that compares that sort of thing as 12668 well).</p> 12669 12670 <p>Briefly, this patch adds (and uses) two header files in the 12671 xterm directory:</p> 12672 <pre> 12673 proto.h 12674 xterm.h 12675</pre> 12676 12677 <p>I expect this to be the biggest patch by far. However (barring 12678 a misplaced prototype), it shouldn't break anything, since the 12679 intent of the patch is to provide missing declarations.</p> 12680</body> 12681</html> 12682
