It is currently pretty annoying to use multiple wlterm windows stacked on
top on each other when the terminal-background is black. The border
doesn't use multiple colors so it is hard to distinguish from the
main-frame.
This patch changes the border color to white (as most terminal-backgrounds
are black by default) and additionally draws a black 1px frame around it.
This guarantees that the frame is even visible with white terminal
backgrounds.

The ld.gold linker doesn't provide --format=default but needs --format=elf
instead. However, this doesn't work with ld.bfd. To avoid any linker
detection, we now link any binary file via partial-linking into a proper
object file itself and then link this object file in the final linking
step.
This also produces a fake libtool *.lo file so the libtool linking command
doesn't complain about PIC/non-PIC problems.

We now keep a link to our parent seat and set it to NULL when our session
is unregistered. In this case, any further request that depends on the
session being registered and probably a valid seat pointer, we will stop
with ENODEV.

These ioctls are used to retrieve and set the VT-mode. That is, the
signals and PID information that correspond to the VT controlling process.
It is notified whenever the VT gets active/inactive so it can react to it
or prevent/acknowledge it.
This doesn't implement the signal-sending logic, yet. It only implements
state-tracking.

Session IDs provide a unique ID for each registered session. They are used
to sort the sessions so next/prev return the correct neighbour-sessions.
Furthermore, they can be used by outside users to refer to a session
directly without knowing the session implementation.
Sessions with ID=0 are always linked at the end and considered to be
"unnamed".
The algorithm to switch to a session with a given ID is:
Try to find the first session with the exact same ID. If there is none,
return the session with the next higher ID. If there is none, return the
ID'th session in the list. If there is none, return the last session.
This provides a fairly predictable way of switching between session. It is
modeled after the classic VT F1-F12 keys that switch between sessions. If
a session is not given, these keys will switch to the next higher session
instead.
All "unnamed" sessions are put at the end. So if you have only F1-F4, then
F5-F12 will map to unnamed sessions.
Please note that new sessions are always linked at the end of their group.
So new unnamed sessions are at the far end, new named sessions are linked
in the sorted list but behind all sessions with the same ID.
Hence, the caller should avoid multiple sessions with the same ID,
otherwise, some sessions might not be reachable even though they're named
(unless you use next/prev of course).

We should let the user move or resize the window while it is fullscreen or
maximized. This depends on the compositor to stop pending move/resize
requests when maximizing or setting a window fullscreen.
We can implement some "snap away from edges" behavior that allows to move
or resize while maximized. This will "unmaximize" the window if you move
it more than a given threshold. However, that's not needed now so lets do
that later when the wl_shell system is fully figured out.

A terminal's GL and GR sets can be mapped to 4 different registers g0 to
g3. The g0-g3 registers can be freely set by the application to predefined
or uploaded character-sets.
We implemented GL and GR as separate registers that are set to the current
g0-g3 states when the applications requests a remapping. So subsequent
changes to g0-g3 don't affect GL and GR. Unfortunately, it turns out this
is wrong. GL and GR should point to the g0-g3 registers instead of copying
them.
This commit fixes the GL and GR pointers to point to g0-g3 instead of
pointing to the underlying character sets. This fixes line-drawing
applications like alsamixer, make-menuconfig and other ncurses based
software.

We now create a VT for each legacy node and assign all clients to it. For
control nodes, we create a different VT for each open-file/client.
Note that we do not recreate VTs or CDEVs directly on HUP instead of
during the next open() or reconfiguration. This avoids trapping into the
same error again and gives control to the user to recreate the nodes at
the right time.

The VT subsystem manages the virtual VTs and registers them with the
seat/session-scheduler. They manage control and legacy nodes as they are
mostly the same.
The different contexts create these VTs and assign them to cdev clients.
This allows us to split the VT and cdev logic apart so they can be
assigned freely to different clients.

This is kmscon-7. See ./NEWS for a list of new features.
Unfortunately, github disabled the "Downloads" section so there is no way
to upload new pre-generated tarballs. I have a pending application to move
kmscon to freedesktop.org, but it didn't get processed in time for this
release. Therefore, you need to build the GNU-autotools files yourself.
That is, before calling ./configure you need to call:
NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
You can extend your build-scripts with:
test -f ./configure || NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
Which will call ./autogen.sh if needed. Everything else can be left
unchanged.
I will not upload the tarballs at another location. Feel free to do that
yourself, but I personally think this will introduce more confusion than
help. I hope the freedesktop.org move will be soon approved. This will
also provide a mailing-list where I can properly announce new releases.
Raw tarballs will be available as (without pre-generated autotools):
https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/archive/kmscon-7.tar.gzhttps://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/archive/kmscon-7.zip
The git-tag is: kmscon-7
You can use my public GPG key to verify the tarballs.
As usual, please report bugs to: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon

UVT is based heavily on the old cdev-sessions. It uses CUSE/FUSE to
implement virtual terminals in user-space.
This move into a library allows to use it in other projects, too. There is
no reason to limit it to kmscon sessions. In fact, we will remove the
cdev-sessions, soon and make kmscon a stand-alone terminal emulator
without any session capability.
Instead, the uvtd program will provide the VT emulation.
This library is not finished, nor ready for use. However, feel free to
contribute patches so we can eventually release a stable API.
