Changes:
xwpe (1.6.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release 1.6.3.
- X11: a covered window's scrollbar no longer bleeds through the window
stacked over it, even with three windows in a triple overlap.
- Debugger: event-driven interactive debugging (type into a program
blocked on fgets/scanf directly in the Messages window); Perl (perl -c)
and COBOL (cobc) support; gdb/jdb/pdb backends.
- The long-standing "debugging leaks memory" bug is fixed; verified with
a valgrind sweep over gdb, pdb and jdb (0 bytes definitely lost).
- Console: Borland "User Screen" (Alt-F5) restored; full GPM mouse
(pointer, click, window move/resize) on the bare Linux console.
- Dead-key compose and UTF-8 in the editor, debug console and dialogs.
- X11 no longer exits when the legacy "8x13" core font is missing: with
Xft built in it falls back cleanly, so xwpe starts on a minimal X
server with no core fonts (no xfonts-base needed).
- Per-menu regression coverage in both front-ends (pyte for wpe, headless
Xft for xwpe), plus a headless X11 GUI test harness.
* Upstream build portability (helps non-Debian rebuilds and strict linkers):
libfreetype is now linked explicitly and the icon-data header ships in
the dist tarball.
* Build with the Cairo/Pango renderer enabled: add libcairo2-dev,
libpango1.0-dev and libfreetype-dev to Build-Depends so the X11 binary
gets the fluid scrollbars and the overlapping-window scrollbar-clip fix
(previously the Debian build fell back to the Xft-only path).
* Add libxext-dev to Build-Depends (X11/extensions/sync.h, used by the
resize sync counter); fixes a clean-room FTBFS.
* Suggests: fonts-terminus -- a Unicode-capable console font for the
box/scrollbar glyphs on a bare Linux text console (terminal emulators
use their own font). See the new manual section.
* Add an autopkgtest (debian/tests/control) that runs the upstream test
suite against the installed wpe (pyte) and xwpe (headless X11) binaries.
Depend on libc6-dev in both stanzas: the Run tests compile and link a
tiny C program, and gcc alone cannot link an executable without the C
runtime startup objects (Scrt1.o et al.). The X11 stanza listed only gcc,
so on a minimal testbed the link failed, the executable was never
produced, and the two Run tests failed; the console stanza linked only
because g++/gfortran pulled libc6-dev in transitively.
* Add patch x11-tests-poll-for-built-executable.patch: the X11 Run tests
poll for the built executable with a timeout instead of a fixed sleep
(robustness on loaded runners). Test-only; forwarded upstream, to be
dropped at the next upstream release.
