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 1.1011 TODO: perl selection object creation/destruction
32 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
33     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
34     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
35 root 1.1004 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
36     broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
37 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
38     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
39     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
41     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
42     with gcc.
43 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
44 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
45 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
46 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
47 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
48     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
49 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
50     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
52 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
53 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
54 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
55 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
56 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
57 root 1.988
58 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
59 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
60 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
61     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
62 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
63     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
64 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
65 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
66     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
67 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
68 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
69     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
70     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
71     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
72 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
73 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
74     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
75 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
76     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
77 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
78 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
79 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
80 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
81     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
82     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
83 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
84     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
85     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
86     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
87 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
88     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89     - fix build on XFree86.
90 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
91 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
92 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
93     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
94 sf-exg 1.975

99 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
106     (Emanuele Giaquinta).

118     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
119     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
120     (found by Mikachu).
121 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
122     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
123 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
124 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
126 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
127 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
128 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).

143     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
144 sf-exg 1.959 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
145 root 1.948 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
146     backspacekey was given.
147 root 1.949 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
148 root 1.951 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
149     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).

183 root 1.923 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
184 root 1.921 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
185     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
186     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world

281 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
282     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would

285 root 1.840 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
286     - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
287 root 1.839 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).

306     when the command exited but only on the next X event.
307 root 1.827 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.

318 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
319     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
320     effects.
321 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
322 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also

339     seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
340 root 1.807 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
341     especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
342     urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
343 ayin 1.808 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.

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

421     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
422 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
423 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).

430 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!

432     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
433 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
434     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
435     Reported by Takano Akio.
436 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
437 root 1.722 reported by exg.
438 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
439 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.

442 root 1.722
443 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
444 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
445     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
446     circumstances (reported by exg).
447 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
448     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
449 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
450     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
451 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
452     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
453 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
454     - update to libptytty-1.0.
455 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of

457 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
458 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible

460     bug #143985).
461 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
462 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
463     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
464 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
465 root 1.698
466 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006

469 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
470     it does! :->
471 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
472 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
473 root 1.691
474 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
475 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
476     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
477     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
478     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
479     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
480 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
481 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
482 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
483     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
484 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
485 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
486     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
487     uppercase character.
488 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
489 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
490     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
491 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
492     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
493 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
494     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
495 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
496     generic osc_seq.
497 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
498     were invoked recursively.
499 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
500     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
501 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
502 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
503     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
504     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
505 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
506 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
507 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
508 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
509     follow C++ closely enough.
510 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
511 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
512 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
513     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
514 root 1.661
515 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
516 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
517 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
518     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
519 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
520 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
521 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
522 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
523     refresh bugs please.
524 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
525 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
526     improve size hint setting.
527 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
528     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
529     to correctly position their preedit window.
530 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
531     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
532 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
533 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
534     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
535 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
536     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
537 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
538 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
539 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
540     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
541     (reported by Paco-Paco).
542 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
543     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
544 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
545 root 1.645
546 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
547 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
548 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
549     resource value.
550 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
551 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
552 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
553     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
554     (initial patch by hednod).
555 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
556     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
557 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
558     the benefit of automove-background.
559 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
560 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
561 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
562 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
563     __linux__.
564 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
565     the colour components.
566 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
567     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
568 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
569     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
570 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
571 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
572 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
573 root 1.617
574 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
575 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
576 ayin 1.767 detection:
577 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
578     - overlap detection was improved.
579     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
580     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
581     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
582     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
583     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
584     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
585     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
586     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
587 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
588     broken.
589     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
590 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
591     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
592 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
593 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
594 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
595 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
596 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
597     an "[alpha]" prefix.
598 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
599     transparent. Long Live Xft!
600     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
601     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
602 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
603     on a pseudocolor screen.
604 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
605     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
606     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
607     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
608     - small configure updates.

610 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
611     the debian package.
612 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,

621 root 1.593
622 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
623 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
624     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
625 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
626 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
627 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
628     selection extension.
629 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
630 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
631 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
632     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
633 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
634 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
635     needs the careful rendering mode.
636     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
637     too wide and needs careful mode.
638 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
639 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
640 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
641     atoms only once per display.
642 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
643 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
644     xterm.
645 root 1.570
646 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
647 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
648     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
649     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
650     ctrl-shift-672c).
651 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
652 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
653 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
654     the primary screen.
655 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
656     could lead to an assertion failure.
657 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
658 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
659     via mouse clicks.
660 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
661 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
662 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
663     in non-synthetic events.
664 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
665 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
666     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
667 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
668     whole urxvt[d] process.
669     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
670     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
671     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
672 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
673 root 1.552
674 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
675 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
676     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
677     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
678     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
679     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
680     special privileges.
681     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
682     itself.
683 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
684     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
685     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
686 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
687     similar stuff.
688 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
689 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
690     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
691 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
692     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
693     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
694     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
695     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
696     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
697 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
698     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
699 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
700 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
701 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
702 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
703     to set the window title.
704     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
705     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
706     at the wrong time.
707 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
708     anymore.
709 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
710 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
711 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
712 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
713     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
714 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
715 root 1.518
716 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
717 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
718 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
719 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
720     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
721 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
722     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
723 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
724     and much much more.
725 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
726 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
727 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
728 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
729     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
730 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
731 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
732 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
733 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
734 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
735 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
736 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
737 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
738 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
739     compatible, and not really small either.
740     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
741     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
742 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
743     to crashes.
744 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
745     colours.
746 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
747 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
748 root 1.493
749 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
750 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
751     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
752     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
753 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
754     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
755     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
756 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
757     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
758 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
759 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
760     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
761 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
762 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
763 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
764 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
765 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
766 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
767 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
768 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
769     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
770     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
771 root 1.474
772 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
773 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
774     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
775     Chuck Blake.
776 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
777     obscure the mouse cursor position.
778 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
779 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
780     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
781 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
782     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
783 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
784     transfer efficiency.
785 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
786 root 1.463
787 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
788 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
789 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
790     while the user still drags.
791 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
792     not drawn correctly.
793 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
794     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
795 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
796     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
797 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
798     stripping whitespace.
799 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
800 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
801 root 1.452
802 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
803 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
804 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
805 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
806     (also a bug in original rxvt).
807 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
808     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
809     partial patch).
810     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
811     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
812 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
813 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
814 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
815 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
816 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
817 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
818 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
819     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
820     - slight overall speed improvements.
821     - considerably improved code clarity.
822 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
823     buffer.
824 root 1.437
825 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
826 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
827     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
828     (matters only for rxvtd).
829 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
830 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
831 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
832 root 1.431
833 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
834 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
835 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
836     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
837     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
838     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
839     percentage by 100-percentage.
840     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
841     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
842     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
843     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
844     windows.
845     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
846     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
847     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
848     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
849     - replaced INSTALL file.
850    
851 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
852 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
853 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
854     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
855     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
856     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
857     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
858     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
859 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
860 root 1.411
861 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
862 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
863     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
864     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
865     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
866     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
867     Affects display in iso14755 box.
868     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
869     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
870     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
871     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
872     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
873     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
874     cutting pieces off of characters.
875     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
876     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
877     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
878     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
879     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
880     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
881     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
882 root 1.399
883 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
884 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
885 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
886     meaning of the given key.
887     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
888     (patch by Martin Edlman).
889 root 1.394
890 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
891     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
892 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
893     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
894     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
895 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
896 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
897 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
898 root 1.433 to disable it.
899 root 1.393
900 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
901     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
902 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
903     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
904     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
905     with modifiers.
906 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
907     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
908 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
909     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
910     and clear the scrollback buffer.
911 root 1.389
912 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
913 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
914 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
915     a command.
916     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
917     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
918     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
919     in Perl/Gtk2.
920     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
921     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
922 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
923 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
924     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
925     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
926     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
927     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
928     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
929     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
930     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
931     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
932     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
933     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
934     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
935 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
936 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
937     rxvt-unicode).
938     - get rid of the intpro files.
939 root 1.373
940 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
941 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
942 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
943     (Kuang-che Wu).
944     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
945     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
946     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
947     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
948     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
949     along with other, similar, cleanups.
950     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
951     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
952     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
953     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
954     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
955     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
956 root 1.361
957 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
958     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
959 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
960     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
961     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
962     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
963     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
964     his patience and time in tracking this down).
965     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
966     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
967 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
968 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
969     by Joël Riou).
970     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
971     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
972     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
973     - shaved off some code segment size.
974     - various code cleanups.
975     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
976 root 1.360
977 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
978 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
979     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
980     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
981     -pixmap is active.
982     - new option/resource imFont.
983     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
984     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
985     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
986     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
987     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
988     (WU Fengguang).
989     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
990     examples (rxvt.1).
991     - removed src/test completely.
992     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
993 root 1.287
994 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
995 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
996     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
997     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
998     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
999     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1000     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1001     resulting in segfaults.
1002     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1003     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1004     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1005     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1006     (Mikael Magnusson).
1007     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1008     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1009     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1010     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1011     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1012     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1013     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1014     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1015     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1016     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1017     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1018     - initialize the locale much earlier.
1019     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.

1025     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1026 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1027 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as

1033 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1034 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1035     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1036     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1037     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1038     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1039     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1040     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1041     ignored.
1042     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1043     instead.

1065     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1066     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1067     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1068     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1069     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1070     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1071     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1121     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1122     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1123     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1124     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1125     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1126     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1127     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1128     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1129     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1130     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1131     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1132     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1133     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1134     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1135     in tracking this down.

1151     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

1153     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1154     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1155     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1156     screen updates with curses.
1157     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1158     by spaces.
1159     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1160     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1161     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1162     is just too slow for this to work.
1163     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1164     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1165     implement. use --enable-styles.
1166     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1167     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1168     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1169     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1170     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1171     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.

1174     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1175     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1176     (only for non-bold right now).
1177     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1178     - better default font size and style.
1179     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1180     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1181     single character against the base font extents and will only
1182     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1183     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1184     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1185     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1186     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1187     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1188     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1189     screen height.
1190     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1191     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1192     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1193     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1194     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1195     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1196     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.

1208     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1209     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1210     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1211     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1212     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1213     close).
1214     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or

1222     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1223     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1224     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1225     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1226     works.

1234     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1235     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1262     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1263     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1264     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1265     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1266     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1267     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1268     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1269     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1270     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1271     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which

1273     - more complete compile options help output.
1274     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1275     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1402     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1403     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1404     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1405     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1406     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1407 pcg 1.91
1408 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1409     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1410     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1411 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1412     - removed old selection style completely.
1413     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1414     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1415     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1416     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1417     be used from within rxvt.
1418     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1419 pcg 1.83
1420 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1421     - code cleanup release.
1422     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1423 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1424     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1425     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1426     all files.
1427     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1428     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1429 pcg 1.74
1430 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1431 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1432     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1433     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1434     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1435     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1436 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1437 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1438     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1439     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1440     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1441     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1442     --disable-xgetdefault.
1443     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1444     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1445     unicode character.
1446 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1447 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1448 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1449 pcg 1.69
1450 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1451 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1452 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1453     settings.
1454     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1455     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1456     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1457     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1458     mbrtowc.
1459     - more robust encoding name matching.
1460     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1461     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1462     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1463     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1464     resources and docs.
1465     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1466 pcg 1.58
1467 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004

1471     - viscii enabled by default
1472     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1473 pcg 1.50
1474     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1475     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1476    
1477 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1478 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1479 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1480     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1481     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1482     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1483     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1484     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1485     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1486     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1487     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1488     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1489     reported by joel reed.
1490     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1491     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1492     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1493     being selected.
1494     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1495     - removed greek support.
1496     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1497     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1498     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1499 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1500 root 1.430 contributed.
1501     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1502     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1503     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1504     - many other minor bugfixes.
1505 pcg 1.26
1506 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1507 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1508 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1509 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1510     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1511     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1512 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1513     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1514     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1515     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1516 pcg 1.19
1517 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1518     - further cleanups.
1519 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1520     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1521     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1522     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1523     please drop me a note.
1524 pcg 1.16
1525 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1526 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1527 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1528     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1529     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1530     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1531     was never implemented
1532 pcg 1.13
1533 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1534 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1535 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1536     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1537     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1538     reported by fefe
1539     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1540     Markus Demleitner
1541     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1542     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1543     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
