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 sf-exg 1.1011 TODO: perl selection object creation/destruction
31 sf-exg 1.1015 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection extension.
32     perl 5.8.9 or higher is suggested for speed reasons. Fixes debian
33     bug #616463.
34 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
35     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
36     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
37 root 1.1004 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
38     broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
39 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
40     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
41     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
43     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
44     with gcc.
45 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
46 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
47 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
48 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
49 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
50     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
51 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
52     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
54 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
55 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
56 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
57 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
58 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
59 root 1.988
60 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
61 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
62 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
63     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
64 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
65     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
66 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
67 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
68     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
69 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
70 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
71     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
72     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
73     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
74 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
75 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
76     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
77 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
78     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
79 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
80 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
81 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
82 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
83     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
84     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
85 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
86     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
87     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
88     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
90     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
91     - fix build on XFree86.
92 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
93 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
94 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
95     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.

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

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

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

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

283 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
284     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
285 root 1.905 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers

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

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

319 root 1.819 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
320 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
321     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
322     effects.
323 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the

402 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg

404 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
405     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives

408 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
409 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).

476 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
477 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
478     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
479     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
480     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
481     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
482 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
483 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
484 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and

486 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
487 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search

491 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on

493 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
494     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
495 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
496     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
497 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
498     generic osc_seq.
499 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks

503 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
504 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg

506     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
507 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).

510 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
511     follow C++ closely enough.
512 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
513 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
514 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the

516 root 1.661
517 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
518 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
519 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
520     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
521 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
522 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
523 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
524 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
525     refresh bugs please.
526 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
527 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
528     improve size hint setting.
529 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
530     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
531     to correctly position their preedit window.
532 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
533     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
534 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
535 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
536     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
537 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
538     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
539 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
540 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
541 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
542     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
543     (reported by Paco-Paco).
544 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
545     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
546 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
547 root 1.645
548 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
549 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
550 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
551     resource value.
552 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
553 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
554 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
555     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
556     (initial patch by hednod).
557 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
558     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
559 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
560     the benefit of automove-background.
561 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
562 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
563 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
564 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
565     __linux__.
566 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
567     the colour components.
568 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
569     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
570 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
571     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
572 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
573 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
574 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
575 root 1.617
576 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
577 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
578 ayin 1.767 detection:
579 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
580     - overlap detection was improved.
581     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
582     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
583     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
584     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
585     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
586     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
587     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
588     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
589 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
590     broken.
591     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
592 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
593     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
594 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
595 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
596 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
597 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
598 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
599     an "[alpha]" prefix.
600 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
601     transparent. Long Live Xft!
602     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
603     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
604 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
605     on a pseudocolor screen.
606 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
607     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
608     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.

623 root 1.593
624 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
625 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl

629 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the

634     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
635 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
636 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and

638     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
639     too wide and needs careful mode.
640 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
641 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.

647 root 1.570
648 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
649 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
650     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
651     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
652     ctrl-shift-672c).
653 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
654 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
655 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
656     the primary screen.
657 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
658     could lead to an assertion failure.
659 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
660 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
661     via mouse clicks.
662 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
663 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
664 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
665     in non-synthetic events.
666 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
667 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
668     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
669 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
670     whole urxvt[d] process.
671     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
672     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
673     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
674 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
675 root 1.552
676 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
677 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
678     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
679     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
680     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
681     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
682     special privileges.
683     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
684     itself.
685 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
686     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
687     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
688 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
689     similar stuff.
690 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
691 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
692     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
693 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
694     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
695     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
696     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
697     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
698     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
699 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
700     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
701 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
702 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
703 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
704 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
705     to set the window title.
706     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
707     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
708     at the wrong time.
709 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
710     anymore.
711 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
712 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
713 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
714 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
715     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
716 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
717 root 1.518
718 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
719 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
720 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
721 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
722     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
723 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
724     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
725 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
726     and much much more.
727 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
728 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
729 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
730 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
731     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
732 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
733 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
734 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
735 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
736 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
737 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
738 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
739 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
740 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
741     compatible, and not really small either.
742     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
743     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
744 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
745     to crashes.
746 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
747     colours.
748 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
749 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
750 root 1.493
751 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
752 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
753     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
754     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
755 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
756     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
757     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
758 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
759     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
760 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
761 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
762     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
763 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
764 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
765 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
766 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
767 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
768 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
769 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
770 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
771     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
772     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
773 root 1.474
774 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
775 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
776     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
777     Chuck Blake.
778 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
779     obscure the mouse cursor position.
780 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
781 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
782     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
783 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
784     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
785 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
786     transfer efficiency.
787 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
788 root 1.463
789 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
790 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
791 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
792     while the user still drags.
793 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
794     not drawn correctly.
795 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
796     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
797 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
798     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
799 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
800     stripping whitespace.
801 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
802 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
803 root 1.452
804 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
805 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
806 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
807 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
808     (also a bug in original rxvt).
809 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
810     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
811     partial patch).
812     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
813     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
814 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
815 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
816 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
817 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
818 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
819 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
820 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
821     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
822     - slight overall speed improvements.
823     - considerably improved code clarity.
824 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
825     buffer.
826 root 1.437
827 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
828 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
829     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
830     (matters only for rxvtd).
831 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
832 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
833 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
834 root 1.431
835 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
836 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
837 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
838     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
839     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
840     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
841     percentage by 100-percentage.
842     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
843     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
844     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
845     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
846     windows.
847     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
848     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
849     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
850     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
851     - replaced INSTALL file.
852    
853 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
854 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
855 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
856     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
857     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
858     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
859     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
860     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
861 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
862 root 1.411
863 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
864 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
865     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
866     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
867     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
868     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
869     Affects display in iso14755 box.
870     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
871     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
872     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
873     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
874     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
875     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
876     cutting pieces off of characters.
877     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
878     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
879     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
880     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
881     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
882     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
883     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
884 root 1.399
885 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
886 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
887 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
888     meaning of the given key.
889     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
890     (patch by Martin Edlman).
891 root 1.394
892 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
893     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
894 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
895     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
896     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
897 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
898 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
899 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
900 root 1.433 to disable it.
901 root 1.393
902 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
903     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
904 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
905     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
906     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
907     with modifiers.
908 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
909     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
910 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
911     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
912     and clear the scrollback buffer.
913 root 1.389
914 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
915 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
916 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
917     a command.
918     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
919     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
920     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
921     in Perl/Gtk2.
922     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
923     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
924 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
925 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
926     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
927     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
928     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
929     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
930     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
931     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
932     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
933     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
934     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
935     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
936     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
937 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
938 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
939     rxvt-unicode).
940     - get rid of the intpro files.
941 root 1.373
942 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
943 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
944 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
945     (Kuang-che Wu).
946     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
947     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
948     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
949     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
950     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
951     along with other, similar, cleanups.
952     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
953     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
954     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
955     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
956     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
957     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
958 root 1.361
959 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
960     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
961 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
962     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
963     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
964     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
965     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
966     his patience and time in tracking this down).
967     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
968     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
969 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
970 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
971     by Joël Riou).
972     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
973     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
974     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
975     - shaved off some code segment size.
976     - various code cleanups.
977     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
978 root 1.360
979 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
980 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
981     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
982     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
983     -pixmap is active.
984     - new option/resource imFont.
985     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
986     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
987     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
988     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
989     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
990     (WU Fengguang).
991     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
992     examples (rxvt.1).
993     - removed src/test completely.
994     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
995 root 1.287
996 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
997 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
998     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
999     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1000     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1001     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1002     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1003     resulting in segfaults.
1004     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1005     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1006     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1007     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1008     (Mikael Magnusson).
1009     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1010     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1011     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1012     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1013     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1014     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1015     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1016     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1017     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1018     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1019     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1020     - initialize the locale much earlier.
1021     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.

1068     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1069     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1070     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1071     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1124     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1125     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)

1127     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1128     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1129     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1130     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1131     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1132     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1133     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1134     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1135     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1136     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1157     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1158     screen updates with curses.
1159     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1160     by spaces.
1161     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1162     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1163     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1164     is just too slow for this to work.
1165     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1166     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1167     implement. use --enable-styles.
1168     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1169     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1170     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1171     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1172     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

1177     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1178     (only for non-bold right now).
1179     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1180     - better default font size and style.
1181     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1182     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1183     single character against the base font extents and will only
1184     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1185     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1186     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1187     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1188     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1189     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1190     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1191     screen height.
1192     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1193     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.

1195     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1196     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1197     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

1210     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1211     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1212     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1213     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1214     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1215     close).

1224     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1225     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1226     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1227     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually

1264     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1265     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1266     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1267     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some

1269     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:

1276     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.

1400 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1401     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1402 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1403     - more informative error messages.
1404     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1405     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1406     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1407     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1408     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1409 pcg 1.91
1410 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1411     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1412     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1413 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1414     - removed old selection style completely.
1415     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1416     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1417     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1418     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1419     be used from within rxvt.
1420     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1421 pcg 1.83
1422 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1423     - code cleanup release.

1425 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1426     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1427     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1428     all files.
1429     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1430     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1431 pcg 1.74
1432 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1433 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1434     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1435     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1436     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1437     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1438 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1439 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1440     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1441     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1442     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1443     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1444     --disable-xgetdefault.
1445     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1446     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1447     unicode character.
1448 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1449 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1450 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1451 pcg 1.69
1452 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1453 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1454 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1455     settings.
1456     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1457     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1458     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1459     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1460     mbrtowc.
1461     - more robust encoding name matching.
1462     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1463     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1464     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1465     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1466     resources and docs.
1467     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

1474     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1475 pcg 1.50
1476     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1477     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1478    
1479 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1480 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1481 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1482     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1483     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1484     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1485     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1486     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1487     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1488     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1489     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1490     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1491     reported by joel reed.
1492     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1493     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1494     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1495     being selected.
1496     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1497     - removed greek support.
1498     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1499     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1500     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1501 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1502 root 1.430 contributed.
1503     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1504     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1505     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1506     - many other minor bugfixes.
1507 pcg 1.26
1508 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1509 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1510 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1511 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1512     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1513     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1514 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1515     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1516     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1517     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1518 pcg 1.19
1519 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1520     - further cleanups.
1521 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1522     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1523     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1524     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1525     please drop me a note.
1526 pcg 1.16
1527 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1528 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1529 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1530     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1531     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1532     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1533     was never implemented
1534 pcg 1.13
1535 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1536 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1537 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1538     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1539     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1540     reported by fefe
1541     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1542     Markus Demleitner
1543     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1544     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1545     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1546 pcg 1.7
1547 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1548 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1551 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1552 pcg 1.1
1553 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
