- Patch #353 - 2020/02/01
- amend change in patch #352 for button-events to fix a case where some followup events were not processed soon enough (report/patch by Jimmy Aguilar Mena).
- handle MappingNotify X event, to improve recovery when switching keyboard configurations using xkbcomp (prompted by discussion with Frank Mosch, Debian #661295). There is more work needed here, possibly in the X libraries.
- improve discussion of mouse-mode in ctlseqs.ms (suggested by Igor van den Hoven).
- further improve checks for Xft max-advance-width to take into account fonts which use two cells for ambiguous width characters. Also improve the time used for these checks (reports by Yuri Pankov, Frank Mosch).
- fix a few spelling errors reported by codespell (report by Jens Schleusener).
- modify run-tic.sh to prefer development version of ncurses since changes to terminfo file in patch #345 rely upon bug-fixes in ncurses (prompted by discussion with Will Senn).
- Patch #352 - 2020/01/16
- adjust fontsize data to handle a minor inconsistency from recent Xft versions (Debian #880407, adapted from patch by Vincent Lefevre).
- add a table to the manual page description of forceBoxChars to alert the reader to the special characters aside from “line-drawing” which are drawn directly when this resource is set (Debian #931305).
- improve checkXft logic which attempts to detect fonts whose max-advance-width is inconsistent with the actual glyph widths. For some fonts, it is necessary to check additional characters (report/analysis by Jan Engelhardt).
- improve configure-checks for X headers and libraries on recent MacOS, which has moved those files under /usr/X11.
- improve portability of iconify/deiconify feature by taking into account some window managers which manipulate the EWMH _NET_WM_STATE property, adding/removing _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN rather than actually minimizing the window (prompted by discussion with Jörg Breitbart).
- improve workaround from patch #287 for the -iconic option when configured with toolbar by postponing the extra request for minimizing the window to the end of menu-initialization.
- modify xevents special-case for mouse-events to include button-events so that the meta key by itself can generate button-events (report/analysis by Mattias Engdegård).
- amend SGR-stack change from patch #348 to not associate bold attribute with background color (report by Nicholas Marriott).
- fix copy/paste error in manual page (patch by Larry Hynes).
- add definitions in xterm_io.h so that GNU/Hurd will use posix_openpty (patch by Samuel Thibault).
- build-fix in debug-tracing, for esctest.
- updated autoconf macros
- update config.guess
- Patch #351 - 2019/11/17
- correct logic in property_to_string for deciding when to fallback from UTF-8 decoding to ISO-8859-1 decoding, broken in xterm #350 (FreeBSD #241961).
- add -report-icons to help-message.
- improved autoconf macros:
- CF_ADD_LIBS: the change to filter out duplicates caused this to append rather than prepend. revise to fix that.
- CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS: move checks to distinguish icc/clang from gcc from the macro which handles the --enable-warnings option, to make this work without-warnings for the inline-checks.
- update config.guess, config.sub
- correct status in XTGETXRES replies when the resource was not found.
- fix some gcc, cppcheck, clang and coverity warnings.

- 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
* improve a special case where a non-Unicode font's line-drawing
characters were not used, when specifying it via the utf8Fonts
resource.
* 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

to the beginning or end of the saved-lines
* add building blocks for alternate screen and/or title-stack
features in the terminfo file.

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
* 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.

* improve workaround for Debian #542434 by using the font's
maximum width when no ISO-8859-1 glyphs are provided
* work around a special case of Xft's mismanagement of its
cached data by adding a check before the -report-fonts option

freed during a call to XftFontOpenPattern.
* improve manual page description of regex option for onXClicks
resources
* add directColor resource.
* additional manpage macro cleanup
* add optional support for direct-colors
* improve legacy/NRC character set mapping:
+ 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

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
* correct error response for DECRQSS broken in cleanup of
Coverity reports in patch #288

modes which may not be settable due to the selected
decTerminalID resource
* correct logic for print-immediate action, and enable
corresponding menu entry
* add configure option --with-pcre2
* 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
* fix typography in xterm.man
* fix typo in INSTALL
* 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.

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
