-<sect1>X Server and Extension Updates
+<sect1>IPv6 support
+<p>
+XFree86 4.4 supports IPv6, based on the code contributed by Sun
+Microsystems to X.Org. See
+<url name="X.org's document" url="http://www.x.org/IPV6_Specific_Changes.html"> for a detailled list of the changes.
+<sect2>Protocol names and aliases.
<p>
<itemize>
-<item> Support for the RandR extension has been partially integrated
- into the XFree86 server, providing support for resizing the root
- window at run-time.
+<item>tcp is an alias for both IPv6 and IPv4 transports.
+<item>inet specifies IPv4 only.
+<item>inet6 specifies IPv6 only.
+</itemize>
+<p>
+You can force the X server to only listen to IPv4 connections with
+the <tt>X -nolisten inet6 </tt> command.
+Or you can force a IPv6 connection by setting <bf>DISPLAY</bf> to
+<tt>inet6/host:0</tt>.
-<item> The Mesa version used for OpenGL&reg; 1.3 and DRI
- driver support has been updated to 4.0.4.
+<sect2>XDM
+<p>
+The IPv6 XDMCP code is not enabled by default on platforms that don't
+support binding a IPv6 socket to a IPv4 address.
+<p>
+The XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 authentification scheme does not support IPv6
+addresses. A new release of the protocol, XDM-AUTHORIZATION-2 has been
+designed, but is not implemented yet.
+Note that by default XFree86 builds do not enable the XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1
+code.
+
+
+<sect1>X Server and Extension Updates
+
+<p>
+<itemize>
-<item> The XFree86 server's hot keys (including those for switching
- modes and virtual terminals) can now be configured via XKB.
- Previously they were hard coded. An X server configuration
- option has been added to allow the VT switching hot keys to be
- disabled.
+<item>The Mesa version used for OpenGL&reg; 1.3 and DRI driver support
+ has been updated to 5.0.2.
</itemize>
<sect1>Client and Library Updates
<p>
-<itemize>
-<item> An Xcursor library providing support for alpha blended (ARGB)
- and animated cursors. Two Xcursor themes are provided (redglass
- and whiteglass), as well as the default "core" theme (the traditional
- cursors).
+<sect2>Xterm
+<p>
+
+The user-visible changes to xterm since XFree86 4.3 are:
-<item> Xterm updated to patch level 173, including the following bugfixes:
+ Bug Fixes:
<itemize>
- <item> Fix two infinite loops (special cases of mouse hilite tracking,
- DECUDK parsing).
- <item> Make repainting of the 256-color example work properly.
- <item> Modify parser tables to improve detection of malformed
- control sequences, making xterm behave more like a real
- DEC terminal.
- <item> Fix a problem with the blinking cursor which occasionally caused
- xterm to pause until a key was pressed.
- <item> Fix improper parsing of multiple items in the ttyModes resource.
+ <item>Make signalInhibit resource work, i.e., disable the menu
+ entries that would send signals to, or exit xterm.
+
+ <item>Make cursor definition in tek4014 emulation work as originally
+ implemented.
+
+ <item>Modify translations for scrollbar so that one can use
+ shifted pageup, wheel mouse, etc., while the mouse
+ pointer is over the scrollbar.
+
+ <item>Correct initialization of G1 character set mapping.
</itemize>
- and the following improvements:
+
+ New Features:
<itemize>
- <item> Modify xterm to invoke luit.
- <item> Add simple session management client capabilities.
- <item> Add a modifyCursorKeys resource to control how the shift- and
- similar modifiers are used to make a cursor escape sequence.
- <item> Check if the printerCommand resource string is empty,
- and use this to allow the user to disable printer function.
- <item> Sort the options list which is displayed in help- and
- syntax-messages at runtime to simplify maintenance.
+ <item>Modify the predictable version of the generated logfile
+ name to append the process-id rather than a random value.
+
+ <item>Modify scroll-back and scroll-forw actions to accept an
+ adjustment value, e.g.,
+
+ <tscreen><verb>
+scroll-back(1, page-2)
+ </verb></tscreen>
+
+ to scroll back by 2 lines less than a page.
+
+ <item>Add visualBellDelay resource to modify the length of
+ time used for visual bell, for very slow displays or
+ very fast computers.
+
</itemize>
-</itemize>
+ Improved Locale Support:
+ <itemize>
+ <item>modify uxterm script to strip modifiers such as "@euro" from the
+ locale setting before adding ".UTF-8".
+
+ <item>Add logic to wide-character support which attempts to
+ load fonts specified by utf8Fonts subresources at startup.
+ The subresources have the same names as the fonts which
+ they replace, e.g., font, font1, etc., so that the
+ ISO-10646-1 fonts can be specified in the XTerm
+ app-defaults file.
+
+ <item>Improved performance with chinput application.
+
+ </itemize>
+
+ Improved Font Handling:
+ <itemize>
+ <item>Document in xterm's manpage how to use XFree86 ":unscaled"
+ keyword to suppress scaling of bold fonts.
+
+ <item>Improved logic for deriving bold fontname from normal
+ fontname.
+
+ <item>Make double-width characters work with -u8 option.
+
+ <item>Updated table of Unicode line-drawing characters.
+
+ <item>Several fixes for rendering using Xft (option -fa):
+ <itemize>
+ <item>Make height of TrueType fonts match ascent+descent.
+
+ <item>Translate Unicode values (from UTF-8 output to
+ xterm) for line-drawing to xterm's internal
+ code, etc., since TrueType fonts generally do
+ not have either set of line-drawing glyphs.
+ xterm can draw these directly.
+
+ <item>Pass 16-bit values rather than 8-bit values to
+ xtermXftDrawString() to allow for wide-characters.
+
+ <item>Use built-in line-drawing characters for Xft fonts.
+
+ <item>Implement underlining.
+ </itemize>
+
+ <item>Implement boldMode for wide-characters.
+
+ <item>Modified to work with CJK double-width (bi-width/monospace)
+ fonts.
+
+ </itemize>
+
+ Workarounds for Special Applications:
+ <itemize>
+ <item>Add option -k8 and resource allowC1Printable to allow
+ users of non-VTxxx character sets such as KOI-8 to treat
+ the C1 control area (character codes 128-159) as printable
+ rather than control characters.
+
+ <item>Add configure option --enable-broken-st and resource
+ brokenStringTerm to allow user to revert one part of
+ the parsing table corrections.
+
+ <item>Add configure option --enable-broken-osc and resource
+ brokenLinuxOSC to accommodate scripts which do not
+ distinguish between running in the Linux console and
+ running in X. Linux console recognizes malformed control
+ strings which start with an OSC, but are fixed-length,
+ with no terminator.
+
+ <item>Add configure option --enable-pty-handshake to allow
+ one to compile-in support for the pty handshaking logic,
+ and resource ptyHandshake to enable or disable it. This
+ feature is normally enabled.
+
+ </itemize>
+
+ Modified Resources:
+ <itemize>
+ <item>Change color4 to "dodger blue", since this provides
+ better contrast.
+
+ <item>Remove color resources from XTerm.ad, leaving them only
+ in XTerm-col.ad
+
+ <item>Modify UXTerm.ad resource file to include "XTerm-color"
+ rather than "XTerm", in case the latter file contains
+ no color resource definitions.
+
+ <item>Changed class of veryBoldColors to VeryBoldColors, since
+ ColorMode is associated with boolean resources.
+
+ <item>Changed classes of colorBDMode and similar resources
+ that override colors when a video attribute is set to
+ ColorAttrMode, to make them distinct from ColorMode.
+ This avoids an unexpected rendering of reverse video,
+ for example.
+
+ </itemize>
+
+ Modified terminfo/termcap entries:
+ <itemize>
+ <item>Add indp and rin to terminfo entry.
+
+ <item>Add le to termcap xterm-basic entry. Though missing
+ from older termcaps for xterm, some applications check
+ for it.
+
+ <item>Correct AF/AB strings in termcap for xterm-256color and
+ xterm-88color entries.
+
+ </itemize>
