22 aterm, version %{version}, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator based on
23 rxvt 2.4.8 with Alfredo Kojima's additions of fast transparency,
24 intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not require
25 features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style
26 configurability. As a result, aterm uses much less swap space -- a
27 significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
29 It was created with AfterStep Window Manger users in mind, but is not
30 tied to any libraries, and can be used anywhere.

76 - main.c: (SetBackgroundType()) - now correctly checks for shading being 100
77 and allows for fast transparency/tinting in that case. That brings fast
78 transparency back in bussiness.
79 - main.c: (resize_windows()) - now checks if root background has changed, and
80 updates window even if it was not moved in this case.
81 - main.c: (resize_windows()) - removed strange event checking loop so to get
82 rid of unresized window problem, when resizing very fast.
83 - screen.c: (CLEAR_CHARS(),CLEAR_ROWS()) - hopefully fixed random occuring bug
84 when parts of the window close to the border were not cleared sometimes.
85 - main.c: (resize_windows()) - fixed bug when window contents gets flushed on
86 window move, if compiled without transparency and background image.
87 - command.c: (process_x_event()) ReparentNotify message handler fixed to
88 set parent windows backgrounds to ParentRelative in any transparency mode -
89 that should fix problems that KDE users were having with it.
90 Also XErrorHandler is set here to prevent crashes on Window Manager restarts.
91 - ximage_utils.c: (ShadeXImage()) moved here from pixmap.c
92 - ximage_utils.c: added some ifdefs to enable easy porting to/from AfterStep
93 - ximage_utils.c: (ShadeXImage()) - uses correct data types for pointers - as
94 the result shading should work fine now on 64-bit CPUs
95 - pixmap.c: (GetMyPosition()) split in two - GetWinPosition() - more generic
97 - pixmap.c: (GetMyPosition()) now sets error handler to prevent crashes - when
98 restarting window manager.
99 - pixmap.c: (ValidateSrcPixmap()) split in two ValidatePixmap() - is more
100 generic version. ValidateSrcPixmap() is resetting root background ID if it
102 - pixmap.c: (CutPixmap()) chaged to more generic CutWinPixmap().
103 - pixmap.c: changed to reflect all this changes above.
104 - configure.in: minor changes to improve libasimage detection.
105 - rxvt.h: SB_WIDTH and other scrollbar parameters has been moved to feature.h
106 so ppl don't have to edit rxvt.h every time they upgrade.
108 * Mon Feb 22 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
110 - Added -sh %, -bgtype <type>, -txttype <type>, -tinttype <type> options.
111 - Changed -tint to -tint <color> to make possible different background and
113 - Changed -pixmap <file[;geom]> meaning of geom now is the area of original
114 image, to be cut out, and used as the background.
115 - src/pixmap.c: complete rewrite of everything that was in there, to enable
116 all those cool transformations. Includes Shading functions, stretching/
117 scaling/etc function, capturing of the root background, if root pixmap ID is
118 not available.X errors handling to prevent crashing.
119 - Added ximage_utils.c from AfterStep's libasimage, to be used when libasimage
120 cannot be found, or linked with.
121 - rxvt.h: Added ShadingInfo and BackgroundInfo structures to hold all
122 background image information. Respectively TermWin.background member was
124 - rxvt.h: added one more color definition : tintColor
125 - rxvt.h: added variables to hold all those new options.
126 - main.c: added Background information initialization functions, and textType,
127 tintType, and bgType parsing functions.
128 - main.c: (CreateWindows())tintGC only created if we do fast transparency.
129 - main.c: (CreateWindows())text GC is created using txttype option's function.
130 - main.c: (resize_window())completely reworked to accomodate all new
131 capabilities. It now checks for visibility, changed absolute position and
132 size of the window prior to do any tinting/shading/rendering. That sometimes
133 causing aterm not to perform shading on startup - will fix later.
134 - main.c: (resize_window1())does not do scr_clear() anymore - it's done
135 outside of it if needed.
136 - command.c: PropertyChanged event handler modifyed to check for visibility
137 prior to do tinting/shading/rendering.
138 - screen.c: fast tinting is performed only if tintGC is available, instead
139 of checking for Opt_tint.
140 - command.c: added Rafal Wierzbicki changes to support for Unix98 ptys with
141 linux-2.2.x and glibc-2.1
142 - added tools dir, and tools/makeatermversion script to automate new aterm
143 version creating/tar-balling.
144 - man pages hopefully updated.
146 * Sat Jan 16 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
148 - src/rxvt.h ParentWin1, ParentWin2 changed to array, first elem of which
149 should always be main window of aterm (TermWin.parent)
150 - src/main.c (resize_window()) added check for event code, not only event
151 type, when checking for queued resizing events.
152 That allows filtering of events that has nothing to do with resizing,
153 and fixes screen refresh problems when aterm is mapped/unmapped.
154 - src/screen.c (scr_clear_tint()) removed ClearWindow for parent windows.
155 That seems to be unneccessary and that was causing aterm death on
156 window manager restart.
157 - src/main.c (resize_window()) changed to not query size of toppest parent
158 window as far as it can become invalid on window manager's restart.
159 That was also causing aterm's death on Window Manager restarts.
161 * Thu Jan 14 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
163 - src/command.c (process_x_event()) added check for _XROOTPMAP_ID value -
164 so not to refresh screen when it's None - that fixes problem with aterm
165 dieing on AfterStep restart.
168 * Thu Jan 14 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
170 - started new development version. USE IT WITH CAUTION !!!
171 - Changed --enable-background-xpm to --enable-background-image. Due to wider
172 image format support it makes better sense.
173 - Added optional integration with AfterStep libraries for wider image format
174 support. JPEG and PNG images can now be used as background,
175 if shared AfterStep libraries are installed on system.
176 libJPEG v.6.0a and/or libPNG v.1.0.2 or greater required.
177 Imaging library detection macros has been taken from AfterStep distribution.
178 AfterStep libs will only be used if configured with --enable-background-image
180 - --enable-aftersteplibs configure flag added to enable/disable AfterStep
181 integration. Enabled by default.
182 - the following configure options added to enable/disable image library usage :
183 --with-xpm-includes=DIR use XPM includes in DIR
184 --with-xpm-library=DIR use XPM library in DIR
186 --with-jpeg-includes=DIR use JPEG includes in DIR
187 --with-jpeg-library=DIR use JPEG library in DIR
188 --with-jpeg support JPEG image format [yes]
189 --with-png-includes=DIR use PNG includes in DIR
190 --with-png-library=DIR use PNG library in DIR
191 --with-png support PNG image format [yes]
192 - src/feature.h removed obsolete code for XPM_BUFFERING support.
193 - src/main.c (resize_window()) fixed bug when transparent background gets
194 garbled, when Shading/Unshading aterm in AfterStep.
195 - src/screen.c scr_clear() changed into scr_clear_tint(int bWithTinting)
196 to enable/disable tinting while clearing window. scr_clear() is now
197 a macro calling scr_clear_tint(1).
198 - src/screen.c (scr_clear_tint()) fixed minor bug in tinting code
199 to use TermWin_internalBorder instead of BORDERWIDTH
200 - src/screen.c (CLEAR_CHARS(),CLEAR_ROWS()) fixed bug when clearing
201 screen will keep tine border around window untinted.
202 ( based on contribution from Michael Bruun Petersen" <mbp@image.dk>)
203 - src/main.c added (SetBackgroundPixmap(char* PixmapSpec)) to parse pixmap
204 specification load/scale pixmap.
205 - src/main.c (change_font()) added sanity check for font width, that will
206 hopefully prevent aterm from crashing, when using some fonts.
207 ( thanks to <suchness> for suggestion ).
208 - src/xpm.c moved to src/pixmap.c due to wider image format support that
210 - src/pixmap.c removed obsolete code for XPM_BUFFERING
211 - src/pixmap.c (set_bgPixmap()) modifyed for optional utilization of
213 - src/pixmap.c (resize_pixmap()) added support to prevent pixmap from
214 tiling vertical, horizontal or in both directions. See src/feature.h
215 to enable/disable this.
216 ( contributed by Eric Tremblay <deltax@dsuper.net> )
218 #include <sys/int_types.h>
219 to fix compilation problems on some Solaris boxes.
220 ( suggested by Albert Dorofeev <tigr@tigr.net> )
221 - src/scrollbar2.c rewrote NeXT scrollbar code for better portability
222 and configurability. Now scrollbar width and look can be changed at
223 compile time, using options in rxvt.h.
224 - src/rxvt.h added bunch of defines to enable NeXT scrollbar tweaking at
226 /* could be anything from 13 to 19 but the true NeXT is 17 */
228 /* this will define somemore parameters for shaping NeXTish scrollbars */
229 /* NEXT_SCROLL_CLEAN if defined removes shades of gray from buttons */
230 # undef NEXT_SCROLL_CLEAN
231 # define NEXT_SCROLL_SQUARE_ARROWS
232 # define SB_BORDER_WIDTH 1
233 /* this makes buttons thinner then scrollbar's base ( if more then 0 ) */
234 # define SIDE_STEP_WIDTH 0
235 /* end NeXT scrollbar specific fetures */
237 * Thu Dec 31 1998 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
240 - *Converted documentation to aterm vs. rxvt
241 - *src/features.h [ATERM_PATH_ENV]: Added ATERMPATH env. variable to
242 define PATH where to search for files. Aterm is now looking in ATERMPATH,
243 then RXVTPATH, and only then in PATH.
244 - * --enable-transparency and --enable-next-scroll are now set by default.
