[Eli Zaretskii]

branch: master
commit 50f489b5dc59ba8eacd6dc5bdee98da690a61f2f
Author: Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org>
Commit: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>

    Add fallback for 24-bit terminal color via COLORTERM=truecolor
    
    * src/term.c (init_tty): When COLORTERM=truecolor is defined,
    override setaf/setab/colors terminfo capabilities with 24-bit
    color support.
    
    * doc/misc/efaq.texi (Colors on a TTY): Mention the possibility to
    enable 24-bit color via the COLORTERM environment variable.

 Terminals with @samp{RGB} capability treat pixels #000001 - #000007 as
 indexed colors to maintain backward compatibility with applications
 that are unaware of direct color mode.  Therefore the seven darkest
