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?

22 root 1.933
23 sf-exg 1.1011 TODO: perl selection object creation/destruction
24 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
25     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
26 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
27     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
28 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
29 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
30     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
31     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
32 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
33 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
34 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
35     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
36 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
37     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
38     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
40     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
41     with gcc.
42 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
44 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
45 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
46 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
47     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
48 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
49     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
51 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
52 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
53 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
54 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
55 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
56 root 1.988
57 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
58 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
59 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
60     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
61 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
62     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
63 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
64 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
65     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
66 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
67 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
68     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
69     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
70     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
71 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
72 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
73     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
74 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
75     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
76 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
77 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
78 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
79 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
80     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
81     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
83     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
84     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
85     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
86 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
87     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88     - fix build on XFree86.
89 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
90 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
91 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
92     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
93 sf-exg 1.975
94 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
95     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
96     - the bestest release ever.
97 sf-exg 1.970 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
98 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
105     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
107 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
108 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
109     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
110 root 1.947 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
111     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
112     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
113     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
114     characters other than first one in the selected cell
115     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
117     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
119     (found by Mikachu).
120 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
121     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
123 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
125 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
127 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
129     for 256 colours.
130 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).

135     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
136 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
137     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 root 1.966 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
139 root 1.962 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
140 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
141     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
142     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
143 sf-exg 1.959 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
144 root 1.948 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
145     backspacekey was given.
146 root 1.949 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
147 root 1.951 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
148     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).

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

221     the only known workaround.

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

289     channels or background images are used.
290 root 1.833 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank

297     resets the terminal.
298 root 1.837 - scrollbar code cleanups.
299 root 1.845 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.

305     when the command exited but only on the next X event.
306 root 1.827 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
307 root 1.824 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
308     would not clear it visually in another.

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

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

354     - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
355     on (typical) 64 bit systems.

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

419 root 1.747 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
420     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
421 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
422 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).

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

438 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.

441 root 1.722
442 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
443 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
444     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
445     circumstances (reported by exg).
446 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
447     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
448 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
449     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
450 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.

452 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
453     - update to libptytty-1.0.
454 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of

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

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

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

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

617 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
618     - fixed version options: line output.
619     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
620 root 1.593
621 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
622 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
623     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
624 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
625 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
626 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
627     selection extension.
628 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
629 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
630 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
631     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
632 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
633 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
634     needs the careful rendering mode.
635     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
636     too wide and needs careful mode.
637 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
638 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
639 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
640     atoms only once per display.
641 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
642 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
643     xterm.
644 root 1.570
645 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
646 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
647     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
648     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
649     ctrl-shift-672c).
650 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
651 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
652 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
653     the primary screen.
654 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
655     could lead to an assertion failure.
656 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
657 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
658     via mouse clicks.
659 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
660 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
661 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
662     in non-synthetic events.
663 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
664 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
665     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
666 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
667     whole urxvt[d] process.
668     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
669     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
670     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
671 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
672 root 1.552
673 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
674 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
675     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
676     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
677     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
678     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
679     special privileges.
680     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
681     itself.
682 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
683     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
684     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
685 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
686     similar stuff.
687 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
688 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
689     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
690 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
691     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
692     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
693     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
694     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
695     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
696 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
697     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
698 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
699 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
700 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
701 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
702     to set the window title.

704     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables

718 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
719     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
720 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
721     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
722 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
723     and much much more.

729 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
730 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
731 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
732 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
733 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
734 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.

736 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.

747 root 1.493
748 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
749 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
750     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
751     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
752 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
753     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
754     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
755 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
756     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
757 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
758 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more

760 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
761 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.

763 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
764 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
765 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
766 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
767 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
768     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
769     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
770 root 1.474
771 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
772 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
773     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
774     Chuck Blake.
775 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
776     obscure the mouse cursor position.
777 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
778 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
779     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
780 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
781     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
782 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
783     transfer efficiency.
784 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
785 root 1.463
786 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005

788 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
789     while the user still drags.
790 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
791     not drawn correctly.
792 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
793     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
794 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
795     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
796 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
797     stripping whitespace.
798 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
799 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.

803 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
804 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
805     (also a bug in original rxvt).
806 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
807     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
808     partial patch).
809     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
810     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
811 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
812 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
813 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
814 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
815 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
816 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
817 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
818     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
819     - slight overall speed improvements.
820     - considerably improved code clarity.
821 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
822     buffer.

825 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
826     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
827     (matters only for rxvtd).
828 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
829 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
830 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
831 root 1.431
832 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
833 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
834 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
835     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
836     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
837     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
838     percentage by 100-percentage.
839     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
840     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
841     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
842     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
843     windows.
844     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
845     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
846     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
847     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
848     - replaced INSTALL file.
849    
850 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
851 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
852 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
853     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
854     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
855     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
856     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
857     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
858 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
859 root 1.411
860 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
861 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
862     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
863     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
864     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
865     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
866     Affects display in iso14755 box.
867     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
868     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
869     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
870     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
871     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
872     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
873     cutting pieces off of characters.
874     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
875     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
876     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
877     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
878     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
879     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
880     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
881 root 1.399
882 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
883 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
884 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
885     meaning of the given key.
886     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
887     (patch by Martin Edlman).
888 root 1.394
889 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
890     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
891 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
892     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
893     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
894 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
895 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
896 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
897 root 1.433 to disable it.
898 root 1.393
899 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
900     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
901 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
902     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
903     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
904     with modifiers.
905 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
906     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
907 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
908     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
909     and clear the scrollback buffer.
910 root 1.389
911 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
912 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
913 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
914     a command.
915     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
916     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
917     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
918     in Perl/Gtk2.
919     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
920     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
921 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
922 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
923     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
924     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
925     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
926     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
927     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
928     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
929     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
930     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
931     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
932     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
933     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
934 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
935 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
936     rxvt-unicode).
937     - get rid of the intpro files.
938 root 1.373
939 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
940 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
941 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
942     (Kuang-che Wu).
943     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
944     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
945     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
946     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
947     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
948     along with other, similar, cleanups.
949     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
950     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
951     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
952     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
953     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
954     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
955 root 1.361
956 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005

958 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
959     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
960     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
961     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
962     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
963     his patience and time in tracking this down).
964     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
965     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
966 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
967 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
968     by Joël Riou).
969     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
970     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
971     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
972     - shaved off some code segment size.
973     - various code cleanups.
974     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
975 root 1.360
976 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
977 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
978     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
979     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
980     -pixmap is active.
981     - new option/resource imFont.
982     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
983     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
984     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
985     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
986     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
987     (WU Fengguang).
988     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
989     examples (rxvt.1).
990     - removed src/test completely.

992 root 1.287
993 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
994 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
995     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
996     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
997     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
998     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
999     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1000     resulting in segfaults.
1001     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1002     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1003     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1004     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1005     (Mikael Magnusson).
1006     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1007     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1008     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1009     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1010     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1011     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1012     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1013     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1014     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1015     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1016     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1017     - initialize the locale much earlier.
1018     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.

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

1049     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1050 root 1.430 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1051     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1052     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1053     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.

1056 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1057 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1058     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1059     titles etc.
1060     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1061     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1062     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1063     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1064     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1065     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1066     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1067     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1068     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1069     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1070     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1071     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1072     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1073     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.

1079     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them

1090     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1091     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional

1114     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1115     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1116     ... terminated by a fix.
1117     - new supported preeeditType "None".
1118     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1119     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1120     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1121     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1122     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1123     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1124     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1125     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1126     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1127     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1128     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1129     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1130     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1131     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1132     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1133     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1134     in tracking this down.

1146     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1147     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1148     - removed README.unicode.
1149     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1150     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1151     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1152     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1153     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1154     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1155     screen updates with curses.
1156     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1157     by spaces.
1158     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1159     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1160     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1161     is just too slow for this to work.
1162     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1163     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1164     implement. use --enable-styles.
1165     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1166     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1167     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1168     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1169     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1170     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1171 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1172 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1173     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1174     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1175     (only for non-bold right now).
1176     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1177     - better default font size and style.
1178     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1179     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1180     single character against the base font extents and will only
1181     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1182     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1183     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1184     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1185     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1186     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1187     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1188     screen height.
1189     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1190     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1191     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1192     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1193     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1194     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1195     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1196     - removed OSC 702.
1197     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1198     confused by it rather than using it.

1204 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1205 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1206     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1207     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1208     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1209     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1210     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1211     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1212     close).
1213     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1214     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1215     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1216     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1217 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1218 root 1.430 could not be created.
1219     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1220     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1221     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1222     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1223     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1224     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1225     works.
1226 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1227 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
1228     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).

1230     character is a sensible operation.
1231     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1232     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1233     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1234     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1235     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1236     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1237     with selections).

1240 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1241     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1242     needs access to a local shell window).
1243     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1244     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1245     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1246     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1247     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1248     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1249     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1250     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1251     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1252     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1253     added there.
1254     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1255     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1256 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1257 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1258     instead of being ignored.
1259     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1260     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1261     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1262     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1263     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1264     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1265     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1266     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1267     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1268     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1269     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1270     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1271     needs testing anyways.
1272     - more complete compile options help output.
1273     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1274     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1275     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1276     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from

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

1471     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1472 pcg 1.50
1473     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1474     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1475    
1476 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1477 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1478 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1479     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1480     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1481     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1482     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1483     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1484     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1485     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1486     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1487     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1488     reported by joel reed.
1489     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1490     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1491     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1492     being selected.
1493     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1494     - removed greek support.
1495     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1496     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1497     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1498 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1499 root 1.430 contributed.
1500     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1501     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1502     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1503     - many other minor bugfixes.
1504 pcg 1.26
1505 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1506 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1507 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1508 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1509     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1510     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1511 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1512     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1513     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1514     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1515 pcg 1.19
1516 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1517     - further cleanups.
1518 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1519     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1520     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1521     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1522     please drop me a note.
1523 pcg 1.16
1524 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1525 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1526 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1527     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1528     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1529     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1530     was never implemented
1531 pcg 1.13
1532 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1533 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1534 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1535     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1536     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1537     reported by fefe
1538     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1539     Markus Demleitner
1540     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1541     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1542     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1543 pcg 1.7
1544 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1545 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1547 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1548 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1549 pcg 1.1
1550 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
