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

23 sf-exg 1.1011 TODO: perl selection object creation/destruction
24 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
25     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
26 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
27     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
28 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
29     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
30 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
31 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
32     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
33     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
34 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
35 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
36 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
37     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
38 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
39     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
40     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
41 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
42     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
43     with gcc.
44 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
46 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
47 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
48 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
49     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
50 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
51     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
52 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
53 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
54 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
55 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
56 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
57 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
58 root 1.988
59 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
60 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
61 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
62     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
64     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
65 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
66 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
67     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
68 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
69 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
70     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
71     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
72     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
73 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
74 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
75     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
76 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
77     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
78 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
79 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
80 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
81 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
82     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
83     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
84 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
85     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
86     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
87     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
89     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
90     - fix build on XFree86.
91 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
92 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
93 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
94     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
95 sf-exg 1.975
96 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
97     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.

100 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
107     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
109 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
110 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
111     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
112 root 1.947 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
113     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
114     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
115     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
116     characters other than first one in the selected cell
117     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
119     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
121     (found by Mikachu).
122 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
123     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
125 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
127 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
129 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
131     for 256 colours.
132 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).

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

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

157     in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.

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

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

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

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

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

352 root 1.793 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
353     the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).

357     on (typical) 64 bit systems.

389 tpope 1.766 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
390 ayin 1.767 extension (tpope).

392 root 1.772 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).

398 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
399     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
400 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
401 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
402     (found by Aiviru).
403 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
404     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
405     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
406     case to work around for :/
407 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
408 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
409     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
410     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
411 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
412 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
413     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
414 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
415     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei

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

431 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
432 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
433     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
434 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
435     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
436     Reported by Takano Akio.
437 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
438 root 1.722 reported by exg.

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

443 root 1.722
444 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
445 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
446     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
447     circumstances (reported by exg).
448 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
449     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
450 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
451     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
452 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
453     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
454 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
455     - update to libptytty-1.0.
456 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
457     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
458 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
459 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
460 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
461     bug #143985).
462 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
463 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
464     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
465 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
466 root 1.698
467 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006

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

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

619 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
620     - fixed version options: line output.
621     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
622 root 1.593
623 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
624 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
625     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
626 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
627 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
628 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
629     selection extension.
630 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
631 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
632 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
633     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
634 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
635 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
636     needs the careful rendering mode.
637     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
638     too wide and needs careful mode.
639 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
640 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
641 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
642     atoms only once per display.
643 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
644 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
645     xterm.
646 root 1.570
647 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
648 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
649     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
650     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
651     ctrl-shift-672c).
652 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
653 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
654 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
655     the primary screen.
656 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
657     could lead to an assertion failure.
658 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
659 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
660     via mouse clicks.
661 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
662 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
663 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
664     in non-synthetic events.
665 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
666 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
667     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
668 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
669     whole urxvt[d] process.
670     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
671     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
672     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
673 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
674 root 1.552
675 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
676 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
677     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
678     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
679     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
680     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
681     special privileges.
682     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
683     itself.
684 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
685     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
686     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
687 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
688     similar stuff.
689 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
690 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
691     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
692 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
693     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
694     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
695     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
696     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
697     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
698 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
699     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
700 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
701 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
702 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
703 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
704     to set the window title.
705     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
706     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
707     at the wrong time.
708 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
709     anymore.
710 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
711 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
712 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
713 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
714     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
715 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
716 root 1.518
717 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
718 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
719 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
720 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
721     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
722 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
723     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
724 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
725     and much much more.
726 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
727 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
728 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
729 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
730     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
731 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
732 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
733 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
734 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
735 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
736 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
737 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
738 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
739 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
740     compatible, and not really small either.
741     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
742     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
743 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
744     to crashes.
745 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
746     colours.
747 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
748 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
749 root 1.493
750 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
751 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
752     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
753     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
754 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
755     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
756     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
757 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
758     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
759 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
760 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
761     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
762 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
763 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
764 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
765 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
766 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
767 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
768 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
769 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
770     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
771     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
772 root 1.474
773 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
774 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
775     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
776     Chuck Blake.
777 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
778     obscure the mouse cursor position.
779 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
780 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
781     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
782 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
783     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
784 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
785     transfer efficiency.
786 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
787 root 1.463
788 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
789 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
790 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
791     while the user still drags.
792 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
793     not drawn correctly.
794 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
795     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
796 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
797     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
798 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
799     stripping whitespace.
800 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
801 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
802 root 1.452
803 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
804 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
805 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
806 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
807     (also a bug in original rxvt).
808 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
809     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
810     partial patch).
811     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
812     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
813 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
814 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
815 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
816 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
817 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
818 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
819 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
820     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
821     - slight overall speed improvements.
822     - considerably improved code clarity.
823 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
824     buffer.
825 root 1.437
826 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
827 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
828     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
829     (matters only for rxvtd).
830 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
831 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
832 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
833 root 1.431
834 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
835 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
836 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
837     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
838     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
839     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
840     percentage by 100-percentage.
841     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
842     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
843     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
844     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
845     windows.
846     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
847     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
848     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
849     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
850     - replaced INSTALL file.
851    
852 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
853 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
854 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
855     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
856     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
857     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
858     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
859     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
860 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
861 root 1.411
862 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
863 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
864     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
865     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
866     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
867     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
868     Affects display in iso14755 box.
869     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
870     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
871     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
872     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
873     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
874     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
875     cutting pieces off of characters.
876     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
877     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
878     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
879     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
880     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
881     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
882     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
883 root 1.399
884 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
885 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
886 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
887     meaning of the given key.
888     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
889     (patch by Martin Edlman).
890 root 1.394
891 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
892     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
893 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
894     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
895     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
896 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
897 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
898 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
899 root 1.433 to disable it.
900 root 1.393
901 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
902     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
903 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
904     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
905     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
906     with modifiers.
907 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
908     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
909 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
910     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
911     and clear the scrollback buffer.
912 root 1.389
913 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
914 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
915 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
916     a command.
917     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
918     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
919     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
920     in Perl/Gtk2.
921     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
922     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
923 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
924 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
925     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
926     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
927     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
928     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
929     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
930     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
931     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
932     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
933     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
934     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
935     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
936 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
937 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
938     rxvt-unicode).
939     - get rid of the intpro files.
940 root 1.373
941 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
942 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
943 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
944     (Kuang-che Wu).
945     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
946     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
947     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
948     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
949     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
950     along with other, similar, cleanups.
951     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
952     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
953     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
954     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
955     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
956     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
957 root 1.361
958 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
959     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
960 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
961     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
962     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
963     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
964     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
965     his patience and time in tracking this down).
966     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
967     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
968 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
969 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
970     by Joël Riou).
971     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
972     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
973     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
974     - shaved off some code segment size.
975     - various code cleanups.
976     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
977 root 1.360
978 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
979 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
980     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
981     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
982     -pixmap is active.
983     - new option/resource imFont.
984     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
985     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
986     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
987     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
988     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
989     (WU Fengguang).
990     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
991     examples (rxvt.1).
992     - removed src/test completely.
993     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
994 root 1.287
995 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
996 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
997     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
998     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
999     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1000     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1001     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1002     resulting in segfaults.
1003     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1004     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1005     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1006     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1007     (Mikael Magnusson).
1008     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1009     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1010     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1011     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1012     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1013     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1014     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1015     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1016     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1017     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1018     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1019     - initialize the locale much earlier.
1020     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.

1022 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1023 root 1.430 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be

1025     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1026     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1027 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1028 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1029     additional multimedia keys.
1030     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1031     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1032 root 1.312
1033 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1034 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1035 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1036     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1037     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1038     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1039     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1040     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1041     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1042     ignored.
1043     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1044     instead.

1053     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR

1066     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1067     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1068     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1069     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1070     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1072     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1121     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1122     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1123     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1124     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1125     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1126     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1127     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1128     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1129     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1130     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1131     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1132     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1133     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1134     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1135     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1136     in tracking this down.

1151     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1152     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

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

1207 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough

1209     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1210     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1211     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1212     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1213     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1214     close).
1215     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1216     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1222     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1223     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1224     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1225     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1226     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1227     works.

1234     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1235     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1236     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1237     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1244     needs access to a local shell window).
1245     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1246     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1247     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1248     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1249     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1250     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1251     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1252     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1253     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1254     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

1262     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1263     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1264     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1265     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1266     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1267     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1268     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1269     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1270     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1271     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1272     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1273     needs testing anyways.
1274     - more complete compile options help output.
1275     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1276     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1277     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than

1410     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1411     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1412 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1413     - removed old selection style completely.
1414     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1415     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1416     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1417     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1418     be used from within rxvt.
1419     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1420 pcg 1.83
1421 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1422     - code cleanup release.
1423     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1424 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1425     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1426     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1427     all files.

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

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

1546 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1547 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1550 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1551 pcg 1.1
1552 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
