2002

xvt (2.1-14) unstable; urgency=low

   * Transition xvt out of /usr/X11R6/.
   * x-terminal-emulator.1.gz's alternative is now accessed from

   * Fix alternatives to point to real locations.  Closes:Bug#102762.
   * Rebuilt against new X development packages.  Closes:Bug#121958.

2001

xvt (2.1-13) stable unstable; urgency=HIGH

   * Fix a yada bug which prevented the package building in some
     situations.  Closes:Bug#102744.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org>  Fri, 29 Jun 2001 11:15:16 +0100

xvt (2.1-12) unstable; urgency=HIGH

   * Fix a couple of buffer overflows which could result in a local
     root compromise.  Thanks to Christophe Bailleux <cb@t-online.fr>
     for finding them.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org>  Thu, 28 Jun 2001 02:01:56 +0100

2000

xvt (2.1-11) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

   * Change terminal type to "xterm-r6".  This should make terminfo-using
     programs work in xvt, but the delete and backspace keys won't be
     mapped quite properly (this'll have to wait for a "xterm-r6-debian"
     terminfo).  (Downgrades bug 59045 from important to normal.)

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org>  Sun, 26 Mar 2000 17:32:31 +0100

1999

xvt (2.1-10) unstable; urgency=low

   * Provide "x-terminal-emulator".  Install xvt as alternative.
     (Closes: bug#45959.)
   * Update to standards-version 3.0.1; use new yada.
   * Hack command.c to return Keyboard Policy-compliant strings for
     XK_Delete and XK_BackSpace.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org>  Tue, 7 Dec 1999 22:46:02 +0000

xvt (2.1-9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to yada packaging.
   * Updated standards-version to 2.5.0; no changes needed.
   * Added a new openpty()-based PTY-opening method to ttyinit.c, and
     arrange for it to be used when LINUX is defined.  xvt can now make
     use of Unix98-style ptys where these are available.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org>  Fri, 9 Jul 1999 22:46:45 +0100

1998

xvt (2.1-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * Reverted xvt's default terminal type from "xterm-old" to "xterm",
     as Debian's "xterm" entry is now the same as the original X11R6.3
     xterm entry.
   * Don't recommend ncurses-term any more.
   * Updated Standards-version to 2.4.1 (no changes required).
   * Updated debian/rules.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org>  Tue, 6 Oct 1998 02:14:17 +0100

xvt (2.1-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Remove dpkg-geninfo from debian directory and remove call to it
     from debian/rules following debian-policy discussion on `md5sums'
     and `du' files.
   * Install man page under /usr/X11R6 (as pointed out by lintian).

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org>  Fri, 20 Feb 1998 02:52:05 +0000

xvt (2.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added a -rv option, making it work as the man page describes, which
     fixes: bug#17492.  Also, fixed a couple of spellos in the man page.
   * Made /bin/sh the default shell to run if SHELL is not specified.
     All Debian systems should posess a /bin/sh, but many don't have a
     /bin/csh.
 
   * .../bin/xvt no longer suid in the .deb filesystem archive.  This
     means that, on systems with suidmanager where the sysadmin made xvt
     non-suid, there will no longer be a window between unpacking and
     configuration where the file -is- suid.  Instead, there will be a
     window on other systems where it -isn't-.  Far better.
 
   * xvt now recommends ncurses-term, because it uses the xterm-old
     terminal type.
   * New version of my generic debian/rules.  Include dpkg-geninfo.
 
   * Updated to standards-version 2.4.0.0.  No changes necessary.
   * Update maintainer email address.

1997

xvt (2.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Changed the default terminal type in xvt.h to "xterm-old", so that
     it works with newer terminfos.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>  Mon, 17 Nov 1997 22:36:31 +0000

xvt (2.1-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Include <sys/ioctl.h> so that xvt can set the width and height of
     the pty.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>  Tue, 11 Nov 1997 21:12:51 +0000

xvt (2.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated for libc6.  (Actually, nothing in the source changed, but
     utmp updating magically works with libc6.)
   * Register xvt with suidmanager.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>  Tue, 11 Nov 1997 01:17:16 +0000

xvt (2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix bug 13673: previously, xvt tried to allocate read/write colormap
     cells for a coloured cursor if a cursor colour was specified and
     the display was not of depth 1.  Now we check that a cursor colour
     was specified and the default visual is not StaticGray, StaticColor
     or TrueColor.

 -- Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>  Tue, 28 Oct 1997 02:02:54 +0000

xvt (2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * First Debian release.
