Changelog:
Patch #209 - 2006/2/12 - XFree86 4.5.99.22

     * remove setf and setb from xterm-256color terminfo entry to avoid 
issues with applications that ignore the ANSI strings (report by 
Emanuele Giaquinta).
     * remove obsolete references to "Xorg" to avoid confusion with 
"X.org" (prompted by David Dawes commit message for XFree86).
     * improve initial layout performance for the toolbar configuration 
by precalculating the height of the toolbar.
     * remove menu entry for "Enable Curses Emulation" (to make room for 
"Select To Clipboard).
     * add resource selectToClipboard, action set-select and a menu 
entry to allow users to switch between PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD for 
select/paste.
     * allow cursor to have the same color as foreground (text), since 
it is rendered as reverse (Debian #350664).
     * amend change for loading utf8Fonts resource from patch #204 to 
allow an ISO-8859-1 "normal" font to be combined with an ISO-10646 font 
if the latter is given via the -fw option or its corresponding resource 
value.
     * add TIOCSCTTY ioctl() ifdef'd for __GNU__ to set the controlling 
terminal (Debian #348457).
     * add configure option --disable-leaks.
     * add a check in Bell to ensure that the VT100 widget is realized, 
since it may be called by xtermLoadFont given an incorrect font resource 
(Redhat #180450).
     * improve initialization of wide-bold font by not using the derived 
value when it happens to have few glyphs (report by Mboso Sampson).
     * improve dynamic colors by not repainting the screen if only the 
cursor color changes (request by Bram Moolenaar).
     * fix menu initialization for tek4014 window broken in patch #206.
     * typo in manpage (Debian #351425).
     * correct loop logic in dotext to prevent an infinite loop if a 
wide character was just at the right margin when wrapping was disabled 
(report by Serge van den Boom).
     * initialize the saved-cursor data so a restore-cursor operation 
without a preceding save-cursor operation will not modify the foreground 
color.
     * add a new selection feature: regular expressions, and new 
resources which specify what happens on multiple mouse clicks: 
on2Clicks, on3Clicks, on4Clicks and on5Clicks.
     * revert the XTerm.ad change from patch #208 (Debian #348384).
     * fixes for the print-window to make it handle combining characters 
in UTF-8 mode.
     * add check to ensure that double-clicking to extend selection will 
not extend it into the scrollback area. This still allows users to 
scroll back and select text (Debian #347415).
     * add configure option --with-tty-group to help work around 
deficiencies in packager's build environment (Debian #349142).
     * fix typo in configure script option --disable-narrowproto (report 
by David Martínez Moreno).
     * amend CF_X_FREETYPE changes for pkg-config check to ensure that 
Xft is known to that tool (report and patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
     * add an ifdef to allow ./configure --disable-active-icon to work, 
broken by new code for testing memory leaks in patch #208 (report by 
Brian Lindholm).

Patch #208 - 2006/1/3 - XFree86 4.5.99.19

     * add charClass resource to XTerm.ad and UXTerm.ad which simplifies 
selecting URLs (prompted by Kirill Ponomarew).
     * modify install rule for uxterm to account for the 
--program-prefix, etc., options by invoking the transformed name of 
xterm rather than simply "xterm".
     * modify configure --with-app-defaults option to allow 
--without-app-defaults.
     * add configure --with-symlink option to make it simpler to install 
successive versions of xterm renamed using the --program-prefix, etc., 
options with a symbolic link pointing to the most recent.
     * make -iconic option work with toolbar configuration (GenToo #113604).
     * suppress lastlog feature for 64-bit Solaris configuration since 
that platform provides only a 32-bit interface (report by Peter Bray).
     * fix memory reallocation for the "UTF-8" menu entry when xterm is 
started using the +u8 option (reported by Jan Willem Stumpel).
     * add a configure check for the actual path of luit, to work around 
broken imake configurations.
     * add a configure check for pkg-config (Redhat Bugzilla #173541).
     * modify install-rule for uxterm to omit executable suffix, e.g., 
for Cygwin.
     * modify sinstall.sh to work around quirks in Cygwin configuration.
