Colour and 8-bit support by Dennis Flaherty <dennisf@denix.elk.miles.com>
and Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu> based on original patches by Greg Lee
<lee@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu>.
This file logs the changes that we have made against the original GNU
sources.
REVISION HISTORY:
Mar 1992: Greg Lee <lee@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu>
Original color-ls patch. Displayed the ansi color escape
sequences unless '-f' option was used, or if long format was
specified. Posted to comp.os.linux.
Apr 1992: Dennis Flaherty <dennisf@denix.elk.miles.com>
Expanded color-ls patch to display color anytime a filename was
displayed, including long format and targets of links in long
format. Changed color scheme, added colors for block and
character devices. Posted to c.o.l. and sent to H.J. Lu.
Dec 1992: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu>
Implemented flexible macros that could be #defined to set color
scheme, used Flaherty's color scheme as default. Macro for
setting default behavior of color display, '-f' toggles. Added
option for 8-bit ISO filenames. Added long-name options.
May 1993: Dennis Flaherty <dennisf@denix.elk.miles.com>
Incorporated Anvin's and Flaherty's changes into new
fileutils-3.5. Fixed "target of link in long format" coloring
again. Due to conflict with new '-f' or '--full-time' option,
color-ls option changed to '-o'. Always defaults to no color,
always supports 8-bit ISO filenames. Added LS_COLOR environment
variable to customize colour settings.
May 1993: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu>
Restored command line option '-7' or '-8' to select 7-bit or
8-bit mode. Added compile-time option to make 7 bits the
default. Made the format of LS_COLOR more general. Added
'-e' short option for '--full-time' since GNU decided to go
with UNIX compatibility for the '-f' option. Updated man pages.
Jun 1993: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu> 3.8.0.1
Patch against new fileutils-3.8. Posted to comp.os.linux.announce.
Oct 1993: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu> 3.8.3.1
Patch against fileutils-3.8.3. Merged `ls', `dir' and `vdir' into
one binary while I was at it. Disabled use of tabs with color codes.
Posted it to comp.os.linux.announce just in time for fileutils-3.8.3 to
be withdrawn.
Oct 1993: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu> 3.8.4f.1
Patch against fileutils-3.8.4f. Worked without a change for
fileutils-3.9.
Oct 1993: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu> 3.9.0.1
Added --color-if-tty option, for people whose pagers convert
escapes to ^[.
Nov 1993: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu> 3.9.0.2
Fixed some annoying mistakes on the ls help screen. Changed the
format of LS_COLORS to provide a pretty much system-independent
format (although it might still require some hacking). Replaced
the --color-if-tty option with an optional argument to --color.
Fixed -T 0 (disable tabs).
Nov 1994: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu> 3.12.0.1
Changed -o (but not --color) into a toggle switch. Added
colorization by file name and cleaned up the code a bit. Made the
-f (fast) option inhibit colorization. Added new color options
for missing files and orphanned symlinks. Added dircolors program,
compatible with the Slackware version but hopefully with less
overhead than reading the config file every time. Patch against
new fileutils-3.12.
Dec 1994: Peter Anvin <hpa@nwu.edu> 3.12.0.2
Fixed a problem with the dircolors program and zsh (ksh mode
didn't work for zsh as I thought it would have). Added OPTIONS
keyword to dircolors file.
