1 root 1.462 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2    
3 root 1.933 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4     TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5     TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6     TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7     TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8     TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9     TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10     TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11     WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15     WISH: coloured pastebin
16     WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17     WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18     DUMB: support tex fonts

30 root 1.1007 TODO: "require" perl5.10+ and enable unicode in selection code
31 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
32     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
33     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
34 root 1.1004 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
35     broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
36 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
37     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
38     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
40     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
41     with gcc.
42 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
44 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
45 root 1.996 - try to detect byte order at compile time, seems to work around weird linking
46     errors on freebsd (seems to have trouble with static member variables) - also
47 sf-exg 1.997 saves a couple of hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
48 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
49     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
51 root 1.1000 - actually enabled solaris event ports backends (was disabled by accident).
52 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
53 root 1.988
54 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
55 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
56 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
57     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
58 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
59     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
60 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
61 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
62     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
63 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
64 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
65     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
66     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
67     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
68 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
69 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
70     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
71 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
72     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
73 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
74 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
75 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
76 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
77     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
78     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
80     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
81     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
82     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
83 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
84     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
85     - fix build on XFree86.
86 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
87 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
88 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
89     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
90 sf-exg 1.975
91 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
92     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
93     - the bestest release ever.
94 sf-exg 1.970 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
95 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
97 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
102     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).

108     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
109     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
110     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
111     characters other than first one in the selected cell
112     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
113     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
114     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
116     (found by Mikachu).
117 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
118     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
119 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
120 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
121 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
122 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
123 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
124 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room

132     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
133 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
134     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
135 root 1.966 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,

137 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
138     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
139     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
140 sf-exg 1.959 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
141 root 1.948 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
142     backspacekey was given.
143 root 1.949 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
144 root 1.951 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
145     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).

164 root 1.913 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
165     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
166     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
167     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,

179 root 1.923 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
180 root 1.921 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
181     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
182     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
183     in need of fixing. go figure.

218     the only known workaround.

252 root 1.871 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
253     broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should

256 root 1.869 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
257 root 1.857 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.

277 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
278     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
279 root 1.905 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
280 root 1.834 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
281 root 1.840 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
282     - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
283 root 1.839 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
284 root 1.844 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
285     work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
286     channels or background images are used.
287 root 1.833 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
288     till the first event arrives. or so.
289 root 1.840 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
290 root 1.831 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
291 root 1.837 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
292 root 1.832 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
293     - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
294     resets the terminal.
295 root 1.837 - scrollbar code cleanups.
296 root 1.845 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
297 root 1.843 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.

301 root 1.820 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
302     when the command exited but only on the next X event.
303 root 1.827 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
304 root 1.824 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
305     would not clear it visually in another.
306 root 1.826 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
307 root 1.827 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
308 root 1.823 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).

312 root 1.820
313 root 1.819 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
314 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
315     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
316     effects.
317 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
318 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
319     fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
320     - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
321     text was visible.
322 root 1.817 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
323     some minor improvements.

328 root 1.811 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
329     - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes

335     seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
336 root 1.807 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
337     especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
338     urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
339 ayin 1.808 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
340     - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

352     on (typical) 64 bit systems.

394     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
395 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
396 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
397     (found by Aiviru).
398 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
399     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
400     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
401     case to work around for :/
402 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
403 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
404     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
405     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
406 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
407 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
408     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
409 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
410     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei

428     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
429 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
430     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
431     Reported by Takano Akio.
432 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),

439 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
440 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
441     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
442     circumstances (reported by exg).
443 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the

454 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible

456     bug #143985).
457 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
458 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that

469 root 1.691
470 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
471 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
472     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
473     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
474     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
475     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
476 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
477 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
478 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
479     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
480 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
481 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
482     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
483     uppercase character.
484 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
485 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
486     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
487 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
488     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
489 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
490     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
491 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
492     generic osc_seq.
493 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
494     were invoked recursively.
495 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
496     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
497 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
498 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
499     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
500     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
501 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
502 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
503 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
504 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
505     follow C++ closely enough.
506 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
507 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
508 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
509     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
510 root 1.661
511 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
512 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
513 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
514     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
515 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
516 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
517 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
518 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
519     refresh bugs please.
520 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
521 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
522     improve size hint setting.
523 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
524     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
525     to correctly position their preedit window.
526 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
527     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
528 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
529 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
530     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
531 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
532     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
533 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
534 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
535 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
536     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
537     (reported by Paco-Paco).
538 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
539     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
540 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
541 root 1.645
542 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
543 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
544 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
545     resource value.
546 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
547 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
548 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
549     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
550     (initial patch by hednod).
551 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
552     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
553 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
554     the benefit of automove-background.
555 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
556 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
557 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
558 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
559     __linux__.
560 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
561     the colour components.
562 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
563     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
564 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
565     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
566 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
567 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
568 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
569 root 1.617
570 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
571 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
572 ayin 1.767 detection:
573 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
574     - overlap detection was improved.
575     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
576     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
577     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
578     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
579     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
580     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
581     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
582     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
583 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
584     broken.
585     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
586 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
587     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
588 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
589 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
590 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
591 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
592 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
593     an "[alpha]" prefix.
594 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
595     transparent. Long Live Xft!
596     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
597     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
598 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
599     on a pseudocolor screen.
600 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
601     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
602     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
603     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
604     - small configure updates.

606 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
607     the debian package.
608 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
609     but much newer than the old one.
610 root 1.598
611 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
612 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,

617 root 1.593
618 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
619 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
620     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
621 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
622 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
623 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
624     selection extension.
625 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
626 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
627 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
628     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
629 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
630 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
631     needs the careful rendering mode.
632     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
633     too wide and needs careful mode.
634 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
635 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
636 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
637     atoms only once per display.
638 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
639 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
640     xterm.
641 root 1.570
642 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
643 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
644     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
645     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
646     ctrl-shift-672c).
647 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
648 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
649 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
650     the primary screen.
651 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
652     could lead to an assertion failure.
653 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
654 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
655     via mouse clicks.
656 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
657 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
658 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
659     in non-synthetic events.
660 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
661 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
662     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
663 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
664     whole urxvt[d] process.
665     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
666     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
667     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
668 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
669 root 1.552
670 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
671 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
672     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
673     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
674     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
675     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
676     special privileges.
677     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
678     itself.
679 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
680     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
681     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
682 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
683     similar stuff.
684 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
685 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
686     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
687 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
688     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
689     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
690     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
691     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
692     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
693 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
694     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
695 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
696 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
697 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
698 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
699     to set the window title.
700     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
701     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
702     at the wrong time.
703 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
704     anymore.
705 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
706 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
707 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
708 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
709     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
710 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
711 root 1.518
712 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
713 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
714 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
715 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
716     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
717 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
718     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
719 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
720     and much much more.
721 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
722 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
723 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
724 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
725     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
726 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
727 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
728 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
729 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
730 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
731 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
732 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
733 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
734 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
735     compatible, and not really small either.
736     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
737     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
738 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
739     to crashes.
740 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
741     colours.
742 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
743 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
744 root 1.493
745 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
746 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
747     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
748     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
749 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
750     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
751     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
752 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
753     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
754 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
755 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
756     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
757 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
758 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
759 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
760 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
761 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
762 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
763 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
764 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
765     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
766     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
767 root 1.474
768 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
769 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
770     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
771     Chuck Blake.
772 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
773     obscure the mouse cursor position.
774 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
775 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
776     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
777 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
778     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
779 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
780     transfer efficiency.
781 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
782 root 1.463
783 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
784 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
785 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
786     while the user still drags.
787 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
788     not drawn correctly.
789 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
790     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
791 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
792     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
793 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
794     stripping whitespace.
795 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
796 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
797 root 1.452
798 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
799 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
800 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
801 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
802     (also a bug in original rxvt).
803 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
804     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
805     partial patch).
806     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
807     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
808 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
809 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
810 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
811 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
812 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
813 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
814 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
815     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
816     - slight overall speed improvements.
817     - considerably improved code clarity.
818 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
819     buffer.
820 root 1.437
821 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
822 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
823     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
824     (matters only for rxvtd).
825 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
826 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
827 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
828 root 1.431
829 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
830 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
831 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
832     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
833     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
834     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
835     percentage by 100-percentage.
836     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
837     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
838     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
839     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
840     windows.
841     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
842     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
843     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
844     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
845     - replaced INSTALL file.
846    
847 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
848 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
849 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
850     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
851     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
852     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
853     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
854     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
855 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
856 root 1.411
857 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
858 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
859     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
860     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
861     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
862     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
863     Affects display in iso14755 box.
864     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
865     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
866     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
867     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
868     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
869     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
870     cutting pieces off of characters.
871     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
872     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
873     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
874     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
875     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
876     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
877     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
878 root 1.399
879 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
880 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
881 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
882     meaning of the given key.
883     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
884     (patch by Martin Edlman).
885 root 1.394
886 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
887     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
888 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
889     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
890     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
891 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
892 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
893 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
894 root 1.433 to disable it.
895 root 1.393
896 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
897     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
898 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
899     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
900     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
901     with modifiers.
902 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
903     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
904 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
905     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
906     and clear the scrollback buffer.
907 root 1.389
908 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
909 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
910 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
911     a command.
912     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
913     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
914     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
915     in Perl/Gtk2.
916     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
917     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
918 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
919 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
920     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
921     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
922     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
923     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
924     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
925     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
926     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
927     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
928     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
929     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
930     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
931 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
932 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
933     rxvt-unicode).
934     - get rid of the intpro files.
935 root 1.373
936 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
937 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
938 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
939     (Kuang-che Wu).
940     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
941     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
942     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
943     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
944     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
945     along with other, similar, cleanups.
946     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
947     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
948     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
949     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
950     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
951     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
952 root 1.361
953 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
954     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
955 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
956     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
957     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
958     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
959     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
960     his patience and time in tracking this down).
961     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
962     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
963 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
964 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
965     by Joël Riou).
966     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
967     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
968     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
969     - shaved off some code segment size.
970     - various code cleanups.
971     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
972 root 1.360
973 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
974 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
975     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
976     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
977     -pixmap is active.
978     - new option/resource imFont.
979     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
980     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
981     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
982     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
983     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
984     (WU Fengguang).
985     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
986     examples (rxvt.1).
987     - removed src/test completely.
988     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
989 root 1.287
990 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
991 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
992     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
993     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
994     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
995     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
996     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
997     resulting in segfaults.
998     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
999     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1000     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1001     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1002     (Mikael Magnusson).
1003     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1004     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1005     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1006     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1007     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1008     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1009     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1010     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1011     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1012     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1013     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1014     - initialize the locale much earlier.
1015     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.

1031     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1032     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1033     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1034     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1035     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1036     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1037     ignored.
1038     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1039     instead.

1048     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR

1061     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1062     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1063     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1064     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1065     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1067     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1117     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1118     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1119     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1120     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1121     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1122     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1123     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1124     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1125     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1126     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1127     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1128     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1129     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1130     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1131     in tracking this down.

1146     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1147     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1148     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1149     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1150     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1151     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1152     screen updates with curses.
1153     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1154     by spaces.
1155     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1156     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1157     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1158     is just too slow for this to work.
1159     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1160     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1161     implement. use --enable-styles.
1162     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1163     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1164     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1165     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1166     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1167     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1168 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1169 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1170     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1171     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1172     (only for non-bold right now).
1173     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1174     - better default font size and style.
1175     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1176     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1177     single character against the base font extents and will only
1178     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1179     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1180     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1181     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1182     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1183     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1184     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1185     screen height.
1186     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1187     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1188     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1189     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1190     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1191     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1192     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1193     - removed OSC 702.

1202 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1203     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1204     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1205     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1206     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1207     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1208     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1209     close).
1210     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1211     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1217     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1218     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1219     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1220     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1221     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1222     works.

1228     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1229     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1230     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1231     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1232     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1239     needs access to a local shell window).
1240     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1241     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1242     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1243     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1244     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1245     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1246     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1247     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1248     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1249     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

1256     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1257     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1258     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1259     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1260     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1261     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1262     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1263     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1264     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1265     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1266     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1267     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1268     needs testing anyways.
1269     - more complete compile options help output.
1270     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1271     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1272     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than

1407 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1408     - removed old selection style completely.
1409     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1410     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1411     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1412     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1413     be used from within rxvt.
1414     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1415 pcg 1.83
1416 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1417     - code cleanup release.
1418     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1419 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1420     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1421     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1422     all files.

1425 pcg 1.74
1426 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1427 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1428     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1429     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1430     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1431     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1432 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1433 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1434     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1435     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1436     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1437     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1438     --disable-xgetdefault.
1439     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1440     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1441     unicode character.
1442 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1443 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1444 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1445 pcg 1.69
1446 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1447 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1448 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1449     settings.
1450     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1451     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1452     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1453     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1454     mbrtowc.
1455     - more robust encoding name matching.
1456     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1457     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1458     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1459     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1460     resources and docs.

1469 pcg 1.50
1470     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1471     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1472    
1473 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1474 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1475 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1476     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1477     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1478     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1479     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1480     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1481     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1482     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1483     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1484     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1485     reported by joel reed.
1486     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1487     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1488     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1489     being selected.
1490     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1491     - removed greek support.
1492     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1493     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1494     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1495 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1496 root 1.430 contributed.
1497     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1498     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1499     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1500     - many other minor bugfixes.
1501 pcg 1.26
1502 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1503 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1504 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1505 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1506     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1507     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1508 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1509     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1510     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1511     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1512 pcg 1.19
1513 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1514     - further cleanups.
1515 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1516     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1517     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1518     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1519     please drop me a note.
1520 pcg 1.16
1521 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1522 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1523 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1524     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1525     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1526     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1527     was never implemented
1528 pcg 1.13
1529 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1530 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1531 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1532     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1533     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1534     reported by fefe
1535     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1536     Markus Demleitner
1537     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1538     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1539     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1540 pcg 1.7
1541 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1542 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1543 root 1.430 - small font tunings
1544 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1545 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1546 pcg 1.1
1547 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1548 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
