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
19 root 1.985 TODO: decrqm http://ue.tst.eu/71d7dbd1fcfeaa7d2a4b96eb957d570c.txt
20 root 1.947 TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
21 root 1.973 TODO: command line editing when icanon?
22 root 1.933
23 sf-exg 1.1011 TODO: perl selection object creation/destruction
24 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
25     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
26 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
27 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
28     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
29     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
30 root 1.1004 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
31     broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
32 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
33     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
34     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
35 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
36     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
37     with gcc.
38 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
40 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
41 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
42 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
43     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
44 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
45     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
46 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
47 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
48 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
49 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
50 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
51 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
52 root 1.988
53 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
54 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
55 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
56     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
57 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
58     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
59 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
60 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
61     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
62 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
63 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
64     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
65     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
66     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
67 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
68 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
69     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
70 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
71     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
72 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
73 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
74 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
75 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
76     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
77     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
79     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
80     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
81     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
83     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
84     - fix build on XFree86.
85 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
86 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
87 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
88     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
89 sf-exg 1.975
90 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
91     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.

93 sf-exg 1.970 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
94 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
97 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
101     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).

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

131     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
132 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
133     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).

135 root 1.962 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
136 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
137     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
138     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
139 sf-exg 1.959 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
140 root 1.948 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
141     backspacekey was given.
142 root 1.949 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
143 root 1.951 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
144     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).

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

215     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
216 root 1.882 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
217     the only known workaround.

276 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
277     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
278 root 1.905 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
279 root 1.834 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
280 root 1.840 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
281     - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
282 root 1.839 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).

284     work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
285     channels or background images are used.
286 root 1.833 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank

290 root 1.837 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
291 root 1.832 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
292     - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
293     resets the terminal.
294 root 1.837 - scrollbar code cleanups.
295 root 1.845 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
296 root 1.843 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.

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

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

331    
332 root 1.809 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
333 root 1.806 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it

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

400     case to work around for :/
401 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
402 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
403     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.

405 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
406 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept

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

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

483 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
484 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
485     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
486 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
487     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
488 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
489     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
490 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
491     generic osc_seq.
492 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
493     were invoked recursively.
494 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the

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

499     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
500 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
501 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported

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

509 root 1.661
510 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
511 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
512 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
513     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
514 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
515 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
516 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
517 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
518     refresh bugs please.
519 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
520 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
521     improve size hint setting.
522 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
523     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
524     to correctly position their preedit window.
525 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
526     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
527 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
528 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
529     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
530 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
531     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
532 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
533 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
534 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
535     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
536     (reported by Paco-Paco).
537 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
538     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
539 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
540 root 1.645
541 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
542 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
543 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
544     resource value.
545 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
546 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
547 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
548     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
549     (initial patch by hednod).
550 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
551     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
552 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
553     the benefit of automove-background.
554 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
555 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
556 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
557 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
558     __linux__.
559 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
560     the colour components.
561 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
562     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
563 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
564     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
565 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
566 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
567 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
568 root 1.617
569 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
570 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
571 ayin 1.767 detection:
572 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
573     - overlap detection was improved.
574     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
575     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
576     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
577     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
578     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
579     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
580     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
581     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
582 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
583     broken.
584     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
585 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
586     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
587 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
588 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
589 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
590 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
591 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
592     an "[alpha]" prefix.
593 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
594     transparent. Long Live Xft!
595     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
596     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
597 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
598     on a pseudocolor screen.
599 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
600     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
601     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
602     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
603     - small configure updates.

605 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from

616 root 1.593
617 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
618 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
619     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
620 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
621 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
622 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
623     selection extension.
624 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
625 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
626 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
627     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
628 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
629 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
630     needs the careful rendering mode.
631     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
632     too wide and needs careful mode.
633 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
634 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
635 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
636     atoms only once per display.
637 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
638 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
639     xterm.
640 root 1.570
641 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
642 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
643     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
644     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
645     ctrl-shift-672c).
646 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
647 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
648 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
649     the primary screen.
650 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
651     could lead to an assertion failure.
652 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
653 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
654     via mouse clicks.
655 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
656 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
657 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
658     in non-synthetic events.
659 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
660 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
661     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
662 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
663     whole urxvt[d] process.
664     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
665     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
666     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
667 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
668 root 1.552
669 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
670 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
671     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
672     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
673     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
674     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
675     special privileges.
676     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
677     itself.
678 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
679     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
680     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to

686 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
687     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection

691     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
692 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,

835     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
836     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
837     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
838     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
839     windows.
840     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
841     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
842     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).

851     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
852     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines

858     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
859     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
860     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
861     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
862     Affects display in iso14755 box.
863     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
864     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
865     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
866     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
867     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
868     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
869     cutting pieces off of characters.
870     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
871     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
872     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
873     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
874     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
875     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).

890 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
891 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).

897 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
898     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
899     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
900     with modifiers.
901 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
902     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
903 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
904     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view

911     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
912     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
913     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
914     in Perl/Gtk2.
915     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling

920     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
921     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
922     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
923     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
924     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
925     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
926     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
927     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
928     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
929     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
930 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is

945     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
946     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
947     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more

991     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
992     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
993     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
994     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
995     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
996     resulting in segfaults.
997     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
998     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
999     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1000     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1001     (Mikael Magnusson).
1002     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1003     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1004     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1005     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1006     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1007     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1008     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1009     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1010     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1011     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1012     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

1058     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1059     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1060     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1061     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1062     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1063     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1064     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1065     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1066     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1067     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.

1113     - new supported preeeditType "None".
1114     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1115     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1116     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1117     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1118     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1119     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1120     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1121     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1122     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1123     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1124     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1125     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1126     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1127     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1128     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1129     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1130     in tracking this down.

1143     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.

1145     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1146     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1147     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1148     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1149     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1150     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1151     screen updates with curses.
1152     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1153     by spaces.
1154     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1155     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1156     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1157     is just too slow for this to work.
1158     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1159     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1160     implement. use --enable-styles.
1161     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1162     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1163     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1164     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1165     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1166     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1167 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1168 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1169     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1170     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1171     (only for non-bold right now).
1172     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1173     - better default font size and style.
1174     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1175     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1176     single character against the base font extents and will only
1177     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1178     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1179     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1180     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1181     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1182     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1183     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1184     screen height.
1185     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1186     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1187     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1188     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1189     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1190     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1191     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1192     - removed OSC 702.

1201 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1202     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1203     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1204     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1205     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1206     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1207     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1208     close).
1209     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1210     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1213 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1214 root 1.430 could not be created.
1215     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1216     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1217     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1218     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1219     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1220     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1221     works.
1222 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1223 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.

1227     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1228     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1229     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1230     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1231     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1238     needs access to a local shell window).
1239     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1240     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1241     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1242     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1243     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1244     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1245     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1246     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1247     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1248     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1249     added there.
1250     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).

1252 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1253 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode

1255     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1256     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1257     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1258     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1259     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1260     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1261     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1262     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1263     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1264     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1265     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1266     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1267     needs testing anyways.
1268     - more complete compile options help output.
1269     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1270     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1271     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1272     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from

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

1466     - viscii enabled by default
1467     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1468 pcg 1.50
1469     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1470     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1471    
1472 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1473 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1474 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1475     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1476     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1477     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1478     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1479     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1480     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1481     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1482     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1483     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1484     reported by joel reed.
1485     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1486     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1487     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1488     being selected.
1489     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1490     - removed greek support.
1491     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1492     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1493     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1494 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1495 root 1.430 contributed.
1496     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1497     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1498     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1499     - many other minor bugfixes.
1500 pcg 1.26
1501 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1502 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1503 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1504 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1505     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1506     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1507 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1508     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1509     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1510     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1511 pcg 1.19
1512 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1513     - further cleanups.
1514 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1515     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1516     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1517     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1518     please drop me a note.
1519 pcg 1.16
1520 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1521 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1522 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1523     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1524     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1525     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1526     was never implemented
1527 pcg 1.13

1529 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1530 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1531     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1532     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1533     reported by fefe
1534     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1535     Markus Demleitner
1536     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1537     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1538     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1539 pcg 1.7
1540 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004

1543 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1544 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1545 pcg 1.1
1546 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
