6.2 |
17 |
- SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably |
18 |
most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty, |
19 |
resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal. |
20 |
Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley. |
21 |
- replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly |
22 |
returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc |
23 |
on a few architectures). Reported by darix. |
24 |
|
25 |
6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005 |
26 |
- update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.). |
27 |
- fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback |
28 |
while the user still drags. |
29 |
- selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were |
30 |
not drawn correctly. |
31 |
- lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading |
32 |
to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults. |
33 |
- iso14755 overlay position was wrong. |
34 |
- iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too. |
35 |
- use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for |
36 |
stripping whitespace. |
37 |
- do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections. |
38 |
- slight cleanups in src/features.h. |
39 |
|
40 |
6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005 |
41 |
- make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again. |
42 |
- enable slow link support by default. |
43 |
- fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions |
44 |
(also a bug in original rxvt). |
45 |
- initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails |
46 |
(see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a |
47 |
partial patch). |
48 |
- bump max columns/rows to 10000 each. |
49 |
- bump max savelines to 10000000. |
50 |
- -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process. |
51 |
- avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary. |
52 |
- major code cleanup (still not complete, though). |
53 |
- implement -hold option. |
54 |
- _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling: |
55 |
- re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged. |
56 |
- circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling). |
57 |
- slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal. |
58 |
- slight overall speed improvements. |
59 |
- considerably improved code clarity. |
60 |
- partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback |
61 |
buffer. |
62 |
|
63 |
5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005 |
64 |
- fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix. |
65 |
- clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal |
66 |
(matters only for rxvtd). |
67 |
- fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian). |
68 |
- don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return |
69 |
bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse). |
70 |
|
71 |
5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005 |
72 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default. |
73 |
If you want the old behaviour, try: |
74 |
configure --disable-everything <your enable options> |
75 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with |
76 |
the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your |
77 |
percentage by 100-percentage. |
78 |
- integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm. |
79 |
- slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update |
80 |
the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is |
81 |
synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other |
82 |
windows. |
83 |
- text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default |
84 |
bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting. |
85 |
- allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov). |
86 |
- removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option. |
87 |
- replaced INSTALL file. |
88 |
|
89 |
5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 |
90 |
- implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. |
91 |
- separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. |
92 |
- fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do |
93 |
not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't |
94 |
even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes). |
95 |
- large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines |
96 |
could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra |
97 |
refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt). |
98 |
|
99 |
5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005 |
100 |
- R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised |
101 |
every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected). |
102 |
Reported by Jasmin Buchert. |
103 |
- font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently |
104 |
uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare). |
105 |
Affects display in iso14755 box. |
106 |
- rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the |
107 |
hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional |
108 |
chars mixed with fixed-width ones. |
109 |
- rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially |
110 |
overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws |
111 |
more than required, but that's better than undershooting and |
112 |
cutting pieces off of characters. |
113 |
- rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for |
114 |
fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines. |
115 |
- fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character |
116 |
at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu). |
117 |
- wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be |
118 |
output in the next line (reported by Mikachu). |
119 |
- added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin. |
120 |
|
121 |
5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005 |
122 |
- re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement |
123 |
a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in |
124 |
meaning of the given key. |
125 |
- use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite |
126 |
(patch by Martin Edlman). |
127 |
|
128 |
5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005 |
129 |
- match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code. |
130 |
this is necessary because it has no knowledge about |
131 |
built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code |
132 |
will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out. |
133 |
- cursor blinking now depends on frills. |
134 |
- underline cursor mode (frills, -uc). |
135 |
- implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay |
136 |
to disable it. |
137 |
|
138 |
5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005 |
139 |
- fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long |
140 |
escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by |
141 |
Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team). |
142 |
- Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons |
143 |
with modifiers. |
144 |
- use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties. |
145 |
- properly update WM_LOCALE. |
146 |
- implement _NET_WM_PING protocol. |
147 |
- implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view |
148 |
and clear the scrollback buffer. |
149 |
|
150 |
5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005 |
151 |
- new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave |
152 |
that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting |
153 |
a command. |
154 |
- implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus. |
155 |
- added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk, |
156 |
and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented |
157 |
in Perl/Gtk2. |
158 |
- fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling |
159 |
when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert. |
160 |
(reported by Mikael Magnusson). |
161 |
- SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt |
162 |
(sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for |
163 |
pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd, |
164 |
and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary. |
165 |
- change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using |
166 |
line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess |
167 |
with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically |
168 |
needs to be US-ASCII all the time). |
169 |
- toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help |
170 |
some apps who fail to set the correct mode. |
171 |
- check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to |
172 |
not destroy the window for other types of messages. |
173 |
- remove shared library (or any library) support - it is |
174 |
of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed |
175 |
rxvt-unicode). |
176 |
- get rid of the intpro files. |
177 |
|
178 |
5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005 |
179 |
- fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one |
180 |
for empty keymaps which could result in crashes |
181 |
(Kuang-che Wu). |
182 |
- new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple |
183 |
tk script to make a tab'able terminal now... |
184 |
- only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills). |
185 |
- add COPYING back, which got lost somehow. |
186 |
- after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it, |
187 |
along with other, similar, cleanups. |
188 |
- _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes. |
189 |
- don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco). |
190 |
- tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more |
191 |
compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts |
192 |
match (reported by Paco-Paco). |
193 |
- urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible. |
194 |
|
195 |
5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005 |
196 |
- document a race-free hack to start urxvtd. |
197 |
- document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt. |
198 |
- bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with |
199 |
Xt, and document it in rxvt(1). |
200 |
- correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault, |
201 |
and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for |
202 |
his patience and time in tracking this down). |
203 |
- bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing, |
204 |
most notably, don't remove double quotes. |
205 |
- compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas). |
206 |
- clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea |
207 |
by Joël Riou). |
208 |
- "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only |
209 |
available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary |
210 |
and is surprisingly hard to implement. |
211 |
- shaved off some code segment size. |
212 |
- various code cleanups. |
213 |
- more keysym-mapping fixes. |
214 |
|
215 |
4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005 |
216 |
- nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in |
217 |
original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz). |
218 |
- resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when |
219 |
-pixmap is active. |
220 |
- new option/resource imFont. |
221 |
- document --tripleclickwords/-tcw. |
222 |
- select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click. |
223 |
- reordered help listing to group similar options together. |
224 |
- handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou). |
225 |
- fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch |
226 |
(WU Fengguang). |
227 |
- document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym |
228 |
examples (rxvt.1). |
229 |
- removed src/test completely. |
230 |
- renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'. |
231 |
|
232 |
4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005 |
233 |
- added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard |
234 |
highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape |
235 |
sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1). |
236 |
- remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this |
237 |
can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now. |
238 |
- fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display, |
239 |
resulting in segfaults. |
240 |
- don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the |
241 |
screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro). |
242 |
- fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions. |
243 |
- reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom |
244 |
(Mikael Magnusson). |
245 |
- for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded, |
246 |
and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a |
247 |
font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and |
248 |
tested by Olivier Wittenberg). |
249 |
- set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+). |
250 |
- only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris. |
251 |
- autogenerate src/* dependency list. |
252 |
- fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent |
253 |
on frills, not on it's own configure option). |
254 |
- include pty.h, if available (cygwin). |
255 |
- removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway. |
256 |
- initialize the locale much earlier. |
257 |
- fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks. |
258 |
|
259 |
4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004 |
260 |
- fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be |
261 |
black on initial startup. |
262 |
- do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to |
263 |
races in the protocol and within Xlib. |
264 |
- map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab. |
265 |
- generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as |
266 |
additional multimedia keys. |
267 |
- mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with |
268 |
implementations that store tag info in the high bits. |
269 |
|
270 |
4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004 |
271 |
- try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even |
272 |
if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. |
273 |
- streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup |
274 |
time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3 |
275 |
turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). |
276 |
- implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. |
277 |
- iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child |
278 |
process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets |
279 |
ignored. |
280 |
- do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID |
281 |
instead. |
282 |
- fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed |
283 |
(reported by hednod). |
284 |
- fix an unlikely memory leak. |
285 |
- fix atom name enumeration. |
286 |
|
287 |
4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 |
288 |
- fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. |
289 |
- completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled |
290 |
incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR |
291 |
selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably |
292 |
for large selections, but that seems unavoidable. |
293 |
|
294 |
4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 |
295 |
- rewrote handling of default-char width. |
296 |
- implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING |
297 |
for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window |
298 |
titles etc. |
299 |
- SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. |
300 |
- added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). |
301 |
- fixed a bug in the transparency code. |
302 |
- upgraded iom.[Ch]. |
303 |
- force slower (but more responsive) transparency update. |
304 |
- fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line, |
305 |
which got partially overwritten by spaces. |
306 |
- as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling |
307 |
and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented. |
308 |
should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding |
309 |
and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker |
310 |
for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS. |
311 |
- darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton. |
312 |
- fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before. |
313 |
|
314 |
4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004 |
315 |
- unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch. |
316 |
obviously in locales not having these characters they should |
317 |
still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth. |
318 |
Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them |
319 |
thoroughly. |
320 |
- updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball |
321 |
now, too. |
322 |
|
323 |
4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004 |
324 |
- make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu). |
325 |
- remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns |
326 |
on high-latency networks. |
327 |
- wide characters shift the correct number of characters |
328 |
in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter. |
329 |
- doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva. |
330 |
- make storage of tab movements as characters optional |
331 |
on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request |
332 |
by Gunnar Ritter. |
333 |
- fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored |
334 |
or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva. |
335 |
|
336 |
4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004 |
337 |
- save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of |
338 |
-ssc/-ssr settings. |
339 |
- fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other |
340 |
programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected). |
341 |
- added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball. |
342 |
- add compile fix for darwin. |
343 |
- configure fix for transparency without tinting. |
344 |
- changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere. |
345 |
- upgraded iom.[Ch]. |
346 |
|
347 |
4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004 |
348 |
- turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts. |
349 |
- mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam. |
350 |
- implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental. |
351 |
- implement race-free signal handling in iom.C. |
352 |
- use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling. |
353 |
- use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating. |
354 |
- "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug". |
355 |
... terminated by a fix. |
356 |
- new supported preeeditType "None". |
357 |
- added FAQ about possible compose key problems. |
358 |
- changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion). |
359 |
- move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events |
360 |
for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change |
361 |
causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking) |
362 |
(patch by Kuang-che Wu). |
363 |
- send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just |
364 |
when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...). |
365 |
- fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly, |
366 |
though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways). |
367 |
- moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ. |
368 |
- fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback. |
369 |
- be more conservative when trying to register new input methods, |
370 |
as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more |
371 |
input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt |
372 |
due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help |
373 |
in tracking this down. |
374 |
- manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during |
375 |
make install) with the correct program name and other info. |
376 |
|
377 |
3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004 |
378 |
- the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke |
379 |
many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions. |
380 |
|
381 |
3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004 |
382 |
- WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled |
383 |
differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and |
384 |
installed if tic is available. |
385 |
- fixed some --disable switches that didn't work. |
386 |
- tweaked src/features.h a bit. |
387 |
- removed README.unicode. |
388 |
- support select&paste of tab characters. |
389 |
- fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported |
390 |
by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson). |
391 |
- fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save |
392 |
and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen. |
393 |
- reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering |
394 |
screen updates with curses. |
395 |
- wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced |
396 |
by spaces. |
397 |
- urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore |
398 |
(likewise for other names chosen at configure time). |
399 |
- disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft |
400 |
is just too slow for this to work. |
401 |
- changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support, |
402 |
where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can |
403 |
implement. use --enable-styles. |
404 |
- removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes |
405 |
(88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely |
406 |
supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable |
407 |
for terminals with "odd" number of colours). |
408 |
- added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul |
409 |
compared to the old rxvt terminfo. |
410 |
- sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is |
411 |
monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width. |
412 |
- implement positive and negative character-font caching, which |
413 |
speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found |
414 |
(only for non-bold right now). |
415 |
- fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences. |
416 |
- better default font size and style. |
417 |
- rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting |
418 |
into the base font, but to offset this it will check each |
419 |
single character against the base font extents and will only |
420 |
use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge). |
421 |
- characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often |
422 |
be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn |
423 |
more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original |
424 |
rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster. |
425 |
- scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson). |
426 |
- fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the |
427 |
screen height. |
428 |
- cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay. |
429 |
- 7-bit ST marker detection was broken. |
430 |
- scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it |
431 |
off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson). |
432 |
- fix lots of colour problems with focus fading. |
433 |
- $COLORFGBG was not set as documented. |
434 |
- fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755. |
435 |
- removed OSC 702. |
436 |
- disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be |
437 |
confused by it rather than using it. |
438 |
|
439 |
3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004 |
440 |
- new configure option --enable-iso14755. |
441 |
- full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :). |
442 |
- extended the FAQ section in the manpage. |
443 |
- fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages, |
444 |
due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough |
445 |
approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the |
446 |
"cannot create input context" in most cases. |
447 |
- fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly |
448 |
at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off). |
449 |
- reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were |
450 |
previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe |
451 |
close). |
452 |
- implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or |
453 |
not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals. |
454 |
- fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson). |
455 |
- clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson). |
456 |
- fix crash on window close when the input method or context |
457 |
could not be created. |
458 |
- add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug |
459 |
#202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race |
460 |
condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully |
461 |
sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the |
462 |
command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to |
463 |
wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually |
464 |
works. |
465 |
- set correct pixel size in struct winsize. |
466 |
- document more escape sequences. |
467 |
- fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1). |
468 |
- work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a |
469 |
character is a sensible operation. |
470 |
- fix some corner cases in autowrap handling. |
471 |
- remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better |
472 |
reflect on their function, renamed many variables. |
473 |
- fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi. |
474 |
- fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes |
475 |
made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible |
476 |
with selections). |
477 |
|
478 |
3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004 |
479 |
- SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal |
480 |
windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker |
481 |
needs access to a local shell window). |
482 |
- implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down |
483 |
Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode |
484 |
character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a |
485 |
function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with |
486 |
a little window or so) would be welcome. |
487 |
- fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456). |
488 |
- fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when |
489 |
a message was logged after startup (a rare case). |
490 |
- got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod. |
491 |
- integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be |
492 |
added there. |
493 |
- reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7). |
494 |
- rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated. |
495 |
- fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos. |
496 |
- report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode |
497 |
instead of being ignored. |
498 |
- enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour |
499 |
queries, as they are harmless(tm). |
500 |
- rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't |
501 |
find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly, |
502 |
but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it. |
503 |
- moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some |
504 |
people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though. |
505 |
- fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm: |
506 |
"crash on -sl 0 on super small windows". |
507 |
- decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency. |
508 |
- SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg, |
509 |
which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which |
510 |
needs testing anyways. |
511 |
- more complete compile options help output. |
512 |
- Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode. |
513 |
Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can |
514 |
provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than |
515 |
providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from |
516 |
Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com> |
517 |
- minor doc fix. |
518 |
|
519 |
3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004 |
520 |
- UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not |
521 |
show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I |
522 |
released it with that bug. :( Fixed. |
523 |
- use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies. |
524 |
speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable |
525 |
memmove :) |
526 |
- minor cleanups. |
527 |
- removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage |
528 |
(debian bug #169415). |
529 |
- fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265). |
530 |
- change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386). |
531 |
- updated configure script to current autoconf standards. |
532 |
- updated config.guess. |
533 |
|
534 |
3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004 |
535 |
- fix inheritpixmap transparency border code. |
536 |
- fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally |
537 |
make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :). |
538 |
- imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable). |
539 |
- changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh). |
540 |
- fixed blinking underlined and negative text. |
541 |
- disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets, |
542 |
speeding up scrolling immensely. |
543 |
- various other optimizations. |
544 |
- new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson. |
545 |
|
546 |
3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004 |
547 |
- some doc updates (Eduard Bloch). |
548 |
- use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set. |
549 |
- fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch). |
550 |
- new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson. |
551 |
- off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by |
552 |
Mikael Magnusson). |
553 |
- cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by |
554 |
Mikael Magnusson). |
555 |
- better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson). |
556 |
- solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt). |
557 |
- disable-xim now really disables xim code. |
558 |
|
559 |
3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004 |
560 |
- support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>), |
561 |
if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb). |
562 |
- fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which |
563 |
was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>. |
564 |
- fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above. |
565 |
- sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it |
566 |
with ^V (SYN). |
567 |
- 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option). |
568 |
|
569 |
3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004 |
570 |
- set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177) |
571 |
as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :). |
572 |
- updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt |
573 |
in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as |
574 |
well as with other terminal emulators. |
575 |
- fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale |
576 |
(reported by elmex). |
577 |
- find more fonts by default for japanese. |
578 |
- the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving |
579 |
the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too. |
580 |
- fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard |
581 |
Bloch. |
582 |
|
583 |
3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004 |
584 |
- experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even |
585 |
less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work, |
586 |
sorry). |
587 |
- c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should |
588 |
make it a little bit more correct c++). |
589 |
|
590 |
2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004 |
591 |
- fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now |
592 |
getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035). |
593 |
- minor i18n issue fixes. |
594 |
|
595 |
2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004 |
596 |
- replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability). |
597 |
- try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability). |
598 |
- fix some minor bugs. |
599 |
|
600 |
2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004 |
601 |
- this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except |
602 |
for the keymappings. |
603 |
- don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes. |
604 |
(inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt). |
605 |
- xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is |
606 |
an extension and is slightly ugly. |
607 |
- removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and |
608 |
replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and |
609 |
secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673). |
610 |
- close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267). |
611 |
- xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting. |
612 |
- re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are |
613 |
overwritten (as is common). |
614 |
- xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049. |
615 |
- ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de. |
616 |
|
617 |
2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004 |
618 |
- minor doc corrections. |
619 |
- WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to |
620 |
avoid clashes with xterm. |
621 |
- changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports. |
622 |
- xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report |
623 |
window colour when arg is "?". |
624 |
- enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds. |
625 |
- stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus |
626 |
cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in |
627 |
fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc. |
628 |
- re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only |
629 |
when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference). |
630 |
(FRILLS). |
631 |
- disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default. |
632 |
- fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least). |
633 |
asprintf replacement is still missing(!). |
634 |
- set _NET_WM_PID. |
635 |
|
636 |
2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004 |
637 |
- the usual sprinkled little code cleanups. |
638 |
- support more 8-bit controls. |
639 |
- more informative error messages. |
640 |
- fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions. |
641 |
- the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements: |
642 |
- no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences |
643 |
(e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block). |
644 |
- rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510). |
645 |
|
646 |
2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004 |
647 |
- fix stupid double-free() bug on exit. |
648 |
- implement xterm private mode 1049. |
649 |
- fix manpages (debian bug #236824). |
650 |
- removed old selection style completely. |
651 |
- selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars. |
652 |
- remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore. |
653 |
reduces binary and distro size a bit. |
654 |
- add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can |
655 |
be used from within rxvt. |
656 |
- less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f). |
657 |
|
658 |
2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004 |
659 |
- code cleanup release. |
660 |
- fix compile problems without --enable-combining. |
661 |
- fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened. |
662 |
- removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX, |
663 |
MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from |
664 |
all files. |
665 |
- default config now reads an app-defaults file even without |
666 |
--enable-xgetdefaults. |
667 |
|
668 |
2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004 |
669 |
- implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing |
670 |
precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is |
671 |
also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3. |
672 |
- selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8 |
673 |
selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode. |
674 |
- tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese... |
675 |
- a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly. |
676 |
- wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux. |
677 |
working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode. |
678 |
- improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters. |
679 |
- implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when |
680 |
--disable-xgetdefault. |
681 |
- changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701. |
682 |
also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific |
683 |
unicode character. |
684 |
- no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL |
685 |
get it wrong. |
686 |
- don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle. |
687 |
|
688 |
2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004 |
689 |
- NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in |
690 |
this version, see README.configure if you want the old |
691 |
settings. |
692 |
- added plain "big5" encoding into CN. |
693 |
- make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt. |
694 |
- fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary, |
695 |
causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to |
696 |
mbrtowc. |
697 |
- more robust encoding name matching. |
698 |
- fix cursor placement on multibyte characters. |
699 |
- when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces. |
700 |
- fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars. |
701 |
- remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated |
702 |
resources and docs. |
703 |
- fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing. |
704 |
|
705 |
2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004 |
706 |
- do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly. |
707 |
- some doc cleanup |
708 |
- configure cleanup |
709 |
- viscii enabled by default |
710 |
- better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95). |
711 |
|
712 |
1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004 |
713 |
- build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people. |
714 |
|
715 |
1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004 |
716 |
- fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC. |
717 |
- implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed |
718 |
up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory. |
719 |
- implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens |
720 |
startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is |
721 |
rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect |
722 |
crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash). |
723 |
- fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup. |
724 |
- fix various memleaks in rxvtd. |
725 |
- fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some |
726 |
keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim. |
727 |
reported by joel reed. |
728 |
- re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007). |
729 |
- re-enabled menubar (experimental!). |
730 |
- fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from |
731 |
being selected. |
732 |
- implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007). |
733 |
- removed greek support. |
734 |
- allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled. |
735 |
- correct cursor width if !focus. |
736 |
- fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch. |
737 |
- added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch |
738 |
contributed. |
739 |
- use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set. |
740 |
- fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty. |
741 |
- changed default terminal name to "rxvt". |
742 |
- many other minor bugfixes. |
743 |

1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004 |
745 |
- almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing |
746 |
new bugs, this should not change much. |
747 |
- fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support. |
748 |
- re-enabled multiple scrollbar support. |
749 |
- added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar. |
750 |
- blinking and selections work slightly better now. |
751 |
- fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful |
752 |
of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely. |
753 |
(I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...) |

1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004 |
756 |
- further cleanups. |
757 |
- never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have |
758 |
color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection |
759 |
use reverse video, not _blink_. |
760 |
- remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back, |
761 |
please drop me a note. |

766 |
- normal text color + bold gets white text instead of |
767 |
normal text when colorBD is not set. |
768 |
(- support double-wide characters (by blocking).) |
769 |
was never implemented |

776 |
reported by fefe |
777 |
- make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by |
778 |
Markus Demleitner |
