The following terminfo files have been added for this release:
-
ansi80x25 - this is based on the old
ansi file. A newer version of
ansi exists in this release that has no function key support, which is consistent with
ansi terminfo files on various other UNIX platforms. If you currently use
ansi and require function key support, you should instead set the TERM environment variable to
ansi80x25 to continue previous behavior.
- xterm-color and
kterm-color - these are now available on all UNIX platforms - previously, they were only available on Linux.
- aixterm-old (AIX systems only) - this has similar capabilities to the AIX OS terminfo file of the same name. It differs from the existing
aixterm file, because it has no line drawing capability. Line drawing is only possible with
aixterm if it is displayed on an appropriate display (X server).
- vt220-w - this is the wide (132-column) version of the vt220 file, and is based on the vt100-w file. For more information, see
Wide Terminal Mode in the documentation referenced at the bottom of this section.
There have been a number of additions and fixes to existing terminfo files; refer to the
Terminfo Database and Terminal Devices section of the documentation for full details.
There have also been a number of terminfo files that have been removed; refer to the
Backward Compatibility section for a complete list.
