xterm patch 373 - 2022/09/25

  • improve rendering of TrueType fonts:
    • add resource xftTrackMemUsage to enable/disable a new feature of Xft which improves performance.
    • add resources xftMaxGlyphMemory and xftMaxUnrefFonts to customize memory-usage of Xft and fontconfig.
    • provide for display of colored fonts in libXft 2.3.5
    • allow for an extra TrueType font to be specified using the -fa option, as an override to the fontconfig scheme of fallback fonts
    • improve caching of TrueType missing-glyph tests.
    • allow no more than 255 fonts to be scanned for a fontset.
    • eliminate a table-lookup in findXftGlyph
  • improvements status-line feature:
    • save/restore wraparound flag when updating the status-line
    • avoid clearing the status-line when switching between normal and alternate screens
    • remove adjustment from update_winsize leftover from initial work
  • modify wcwidth tables to separate Unicode Cf category as formatting control-characters, to better match the guideline for unsupported characters
  • add configure option --disable-exec-selection.
  • use mkstemp where mkdtemp is unavailable, when initializing colored cursor.
  • adapt fixes from OpenBSD xenocara:
    • improve ifdef's for a few optional features.
    • correct #ifdef to #if in a few uses of OPT_PRINT_ON_EXIT.
  • set StartupWMClass in “.desktop” files, e.g., to help cinnamon-session notice that xterm sets WM_CLASS and use its icon
  • disable pixel computation when rgb width is greater than 8, to work with depth 30
  • improve color-computation for SGR 2 faint/dim. Add resource faintIsRelative to specify if the modified computation should be used
  • correct comparison-length for environment variable cleanup
  • correct dsl capability for dec-sl block in terminfo
  • improve output formatting by vttests/utf8.pl
  • repair test/demo scripts still using "vxt-" prefix, some cleanup with shellcheck.
  • enable page-number for DECXCPR response in VT330.
  • amend change for combining characters in patch 371 to limit it to the currently-defined codes
  • add directory-template parameter to mktemp in shell-scripts to improve portability to older systems
  • mention webpage XTerm – bracketed-paste in ctlseqs.ms
  • update manual-page descriptions for allowPasteControls and disallowedPasteControls (patch 363).
  • further extended list of environment variables to purge on startup
  • update config.guess, config.sub
