Package: xterm
Version: 261-1
Severity: minor


When specifying colours not supported by the hardware, xterm does not
choose the nearest hardware colour.

For example:

   xterm -bg '#9c009c009c00'

On a standard 24 bit colour server, the nearest colour is #9b9b9b9b9b9b,
but xterm chooses #9c9c9c9c9c9c.

Likewise, for e.g. -bg '#ff00ff00ff00', xterm chooses #fffffffffff,
which is much farther then the nearest colour supported by the display
(#fefefefefefe) - xterm's chosen colour has a difference of 255 units per
component to the requested colour, while the nearest colour the display
supports only has a difference of only 2 units, which is a considerable
difference).

Description: 
 xterm      - X terminal emulator
Closes: 637001 650291 652907
Changes: 
 xterm (278-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release
     - move call to grantpt before asking utempter to add a record, to work
       with kFreeBSD which does not update the terminal's ownership until this
       point (closes: #652907)
     - document limitation of XIM interface in manpage (see #230787)
     - add four new actions for making the selection or data directly copied
       from the screen: exec-formatted, exec-selectable, insert-formatted,
       insert-selectable (closes: #637001)
     - add eightBitMeta resource to control the features which modify or
       interpret the eighth bit of a key when the meta modifier key is pressed
       (prompted by #326200)
     - improve discussion of eightBitInput in the manpage (prompted by #326200)
     - add a workaround for XAllocColor(), which does not actually allocate "a
       read-only colormap entry corresponding to the closest RGB value
       supported by the hardware", but rather a rough approximation (closes:
       #650291)
   * Update copy of XTerm FAQ to revision 1.180 (dated 2012/02/06).
