2021-04-05	support delete wm events	Quentin Carbonneaux
	Thanks to shepard47@protonmail.com for the patch.
2018-02-28	fix unlikely race	Quentin Carbonneaux
	XFlush() can in fact fetch events and add them to Xlib's internal queue. It happens very rarely with the current implementation, but when it does, we are missing a UI update.
2018-02-28	fix long-standing UI bug	Quentin Carbonneaux
	This has been annoying me on and off for YEARS! (Literally.) In some (quite rare) settings, there was an annoying UI bug where it would look like some updates were not propagated to the UI when they had to. After spending a couple of days investigating this, it turns out that it is not a bug in the editor, but in xserver (maybe). Experiments and frustration revealed that the bug seems to be in some backing store-related logic. So, here, I remove our request to get a backing store. This backing store option was here to help performance, but X implementations really should be smart enough to use one even when clients don't ask for it. Even if X servers are dumb, removing the option should not cause a noticeable performance degradation.
2015-07-14	fix bug with focus events	Quentin Carbonneaux

2015-06-23	change default font to Monaco	Quentin Carbonneaux

2015-06-23	fix mouse execution of Get and Look	Quentin Carbonneaux

2015-02-13	fix bug in popalarm	Quentin Carbonneaux
	This never caused a program failure because of the low stress on the event module.
2015-01-20	add keyboard command ^L to switch windows	Quentin Carbonneaux

2014-12-26	ignore SIGPIPE	Quentin Carbonneaux
	Otherwise, the editor crashes when using the redirection sigils with a command that closes the pipe.
2014-11-24	simplify cursor logic	Quentin Carbonneaux
	The cursor is now allowed out of screen, because it costs nothing and it is convenient during resizes. The new code also allows scrolling during selection, this is handy when the selection exceeds a screenful.

2014-09-25	add documentation	Quentin Carbonneaux

2014-09-25	this shortcut was undefined behavior	Quentin Carbonneaux

2014-09-19	fix testing code	Quentin Carbonneaux
	The api changes for buffer creation invalidated the testing code. Note that it is unclear if the window testing code is still relevant. I had to change the number of windows from 3 to 2 to avoid a crash, probably because the initial window size is too small.
2014-09-19	superior resource management for async tasks	Quentin Carbonneaux
	The previous implementation with reference counting on EBuf was clunky. First, use of negative reference counts made the logic unclear. Second, when an async task was started and a file was reloaded in the window (eb_clr), some garbage could be output to the new buffer at random positions. Third, killing a buffer could leak file descriptors tied to long running tasks. The problems are solved by eagerly destructing all the resources of tasks that output in a given buffer right before its destruction.

2014-09-05	double click to select a word	Quentin Carbonneaux

2014-09-04	add proper buffer deletion	Quentin Carbonneaux
	Because some background processes might run concurrently with the execution of the Del command I added a refcount to edit buffers. Details about the refcount: + When this count c is >=0 it means that the buffer is alive and has c+1 concurrent users (+1 for the window displaying it). + If c<0, the buffer has -c users but is a "zombie". Its parent window was deleted. So the buffer is still in memory but cannot be used, users must drop their pointer after having incremented c. If c reaches 0, the buffer must be freed.
2014-09-03	add window deletion code	Quentin Carbonneaux
	The bug in exec.c can now be triggered, if a command outputs after its window was deleted an invalid buffer pointer is used.
