1 root 1.462 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2    
3 root 1.933 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4     TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5     TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6     TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7     TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8     TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9     TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10     TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11     WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15     WISH: coloured pastebin
16     WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17     WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18     DUMB: support tex fonts
19 root 1.985 TODO: decrqm http://ue.tst.eu/71d7dbd1fcfeaa7d2a4b96eb957d570c.txt
20 root 1.947 TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
21 root 1.973 TODO: command line editing when icanon?
22 root 1.933
23 sf-exg 1.1011 TODO: perl selection object creation/destruction
24 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
25     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
26     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
27 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
28     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
29 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
30     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
31 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
32     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
33 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
34 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
35     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
36     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
37 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
38 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
39 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
40     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
41 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
42     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
43     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
44 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
45     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
46     with gcc.
47 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
49 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
50 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
51 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
52     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
53 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
54     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
55 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
56 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
57 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
58 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
59 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
60 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
61 root 1.988
62 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
63 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
64 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
65     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
67     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
68 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
69 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
70     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
71 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
72 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
73     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
74     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
75     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
76 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
77 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
78     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
79 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
80     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
81 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
82 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
83 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
84 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
85     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
86     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
87 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
88     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
89     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
90     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
91 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
92     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93     - fix build on XFree86.
94 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
95 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
96 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
97     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
98 sf-exg 1.975
99 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010

103 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
109     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
110     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
112 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
113 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
114     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).

116     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
117     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
118     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
119     characters other than first one in the selected cell

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

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

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

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

226     the only known workaround.

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

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

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

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

403 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
404 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
405     (found by Aiviru).
406 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
407     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives

410 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
411 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
412     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.

414 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
415 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
416     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
417 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been

437 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
438     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.

447 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
448 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
449     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most

465 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
466 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that

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

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

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

505 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
506 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
507     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
508     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
509 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
510 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
511 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
512 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
513     follow C++ closely enough.
514 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
515 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
516 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
517     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
518 root 1.661
519 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
520 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
521 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
522     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
523 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
524 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
525 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
526 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
527     refresh bugs please.
528 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
529 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
530     improve size hint setting.
531 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
532     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
533     to correctly position their preedit window.
534 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
535     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
536 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
537 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
538     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
539 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
540     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
541 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
542 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
543 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
544     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
545     (reported by Paco-Paco).
546 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
547     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
548 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
549 root 1.645
550 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
551 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
552 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
553     resource value.
554 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
555 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
556 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
557     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
558     (initial patch by hednod).
559 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
560     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
561 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
562     the benefit of automove-background.
563 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
564 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
565 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
566 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
567     __linux__.
568 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
569     the colour components.
570 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
571     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
572 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
573     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
574 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
575 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
576 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
577 root 1.617
578 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
579 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
580 ayin 1.767 detection:
581 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
582     - overlap detection was improved.
583     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
584     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
585     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
586     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
587     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
588     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
589     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
590     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
591 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
592     broken.
593     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
594 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
595     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
596 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
597 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
598 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
599 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
600 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
601     an "[alpha]" prefix.
602 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
603     transparent. Long Live Xft!
604     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
605     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
606 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
607     on a pseudocolor screen.
608 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
609     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
610     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.

625 root 1.593
626 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
627 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
628     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
629 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
630 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
631 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the

636     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
637 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
638 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
639     needs the careful rendering mode.
640     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
641     too wide and needs careful mode.
642 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
643 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.

647 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
648     xterm.
649 root 1.570
650 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
651 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
652     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
653     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
654     ctrl-shift-672c).
655 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
656 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
657 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
658     the primary screen.
659 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
660     could lead to an assertion failure.
661 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
662 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
663     via mouse clicks.
664 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
665 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
666 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
667     in non-synthetic events.
668 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
669 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
670     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
671 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
672     whole urxvt[d] process.
673     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
674     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
675     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
676 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

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

979     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
980 root 1.360
981 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
982 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
983     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
984     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
985     -pixmap is active.
986     - new option/resource imFont.
987     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
988     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
989     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
990     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
991     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
992     (WU Fengguang).
993     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
994     examples (rxvt.1).
995     - removed src/test completely.
996     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
997 root 1.287
998 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
999 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1000     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1001     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1002     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1003     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1004     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1005     resulting in segfaults.
1006     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1007     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1008     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1009     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1010     (Mikael Magnusson).
1011     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1012     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1013     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1014     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1015     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1016     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1017     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1018     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1019     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1020     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1021     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1022     - initialize the locale much earlier.
1023     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.

1030 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1031 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as

1036 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1037 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1038 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1039     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1040     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1041     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1042     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1043     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1044     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1045     ignored.

1070     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1071     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1072     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1073     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1075     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1125     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1126     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1127     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1128     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1129     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1130     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1131     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1132     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1133     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1134     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1135     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1136     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1137     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1138     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1139     in tracking this down.

1154     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1155     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

1157     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1158     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1159     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1160     screen updates with curses.
1161     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1162     by spaces.
1163     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1164     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1165     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1166     is just too slow for this to work.
1167     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1168     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1169     implement. use --enable-styles.
1170     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1171     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1172     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1173     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1174     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1175     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.

1178     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1179     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1180     (only for non-bold right now).
1181     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1182     - better default font size and style.
1183     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1184     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1185     single character against the base font extents and will only
1186     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1187     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1188     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1189     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1190     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1191     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1192     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1193     screen height.
1194     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1195     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1196     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1197     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1198     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1199     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1200     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1201     - removed OSC 702.

1210 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough

1212     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1213     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1214     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1215     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1216     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1217     close).
1218     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1219     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1226     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1227     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1228     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1229     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1230     works.

1237     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1238     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1239     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1248     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1249     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1250     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1251     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1252     a little window or so) would be welcome.

1254     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1255     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1256     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1257     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

1265     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1266     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1267     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1268     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1269     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1270     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1271     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1272     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1273     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1274     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1275     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1276     needs testing anyways.
1277     - more complete compile options help output.
1278     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1279     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1280     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than

1410     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1411 pcg 1.91
1412 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1413     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1414     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1415 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1416     - removed old selection style completely.
1417     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1418     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1419     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1420     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1421     be used from within rxvt.
1422     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1423 pcg 1.83
1424 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1425     - code cleanup release.
1426     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1427 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1428     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1429     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1430     all files.
1431     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1432     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1433 pcg 1.74
1434 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1435 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1436     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1437     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1438     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1439     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1440 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1441 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1442     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1443     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1444     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1445     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1446     --disable-xgetdefault.
1447     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1448     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1449     unicode character.
1450 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1451 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1452 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1453 pcg 1.69
1454 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1455 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1456 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1457     settings.
1458     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1459     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1460     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1461     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1462     mbrtowc.
1463     - more robust encoding name matching.
1464     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1465     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1466     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1467     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1468     resources and docs.
1469     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

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

1553 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1554 pcg 1.1
1555 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
