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

24 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
25     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
26 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
27     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
28     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
29 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
30     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
31 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
32     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
33 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
34     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
35 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
36 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
37     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
38     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
39 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
40 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
41 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
42     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
43 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
44     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
45     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
46 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
47     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
48     with gcc.
49 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
51 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
52 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
53 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
54     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
55 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
56     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
57 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
58 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
59 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
60 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
61 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
62 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
63 root 1.988
64 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
65 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
66 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
67     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
68 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
69     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
70 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
71 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
72     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
73 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
74 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
75     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
76     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
77     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
78 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
79 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
80     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
81 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
82     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
83 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
84 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
85 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
86 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
87     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
88     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
90     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
91     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
92     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
94     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95     - fix build on XFree86.
96 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
97 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
98 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
99     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.

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

118     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
119     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
120     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the

124     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
126     (found by Mikachu).
127 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
128     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
130 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
131 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
132 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
133 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
134 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
135 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
136     for 256 colours.
137 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).

142     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
143 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
144     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145 root 1.966 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,

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

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

228     the only known workaround.

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

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

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

405 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
406 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
407     (found by Aiviru).
408 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
409     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
410     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
411     case to work around for :/
412 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
413 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
414     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.

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

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

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

480 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
481 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
482     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
483     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
484     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
485     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
486 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
487 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
488 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
489     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
490 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
491 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search

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

507 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
508 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
509     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
510     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
511 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
512 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
513 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
514 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
515     follow C++ closely enough.
516 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
517 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
518 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the

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

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

632 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
633 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the

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

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

649 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with

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

681 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
682     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
683     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
684     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
685     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
686     special privileges.
687     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
688     itself.
689 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
690     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
691     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
692 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
693     similar stuff.
694 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
695 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
696     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
697 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
698     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
699     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
700     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
701     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
702     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
703 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
704     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
705 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
706 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
707 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
708 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
709     to set the window title.
710     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
711     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
712     at the wrong time.
713 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
714     anymore.
715 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
716 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
717 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
718 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
719     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
720 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
721 root 1.518
722 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
723 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
724 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
725 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
726     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
727 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
728     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
729 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
730     and much much more.
731 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
732 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
733 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
734 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
735     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
736 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
737 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
738 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
739 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
740 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
741 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
742 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
743 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
744 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
745     compatible, and not really small either.
746     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
747     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
748 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
749     to crashes.
750 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
751     colours.
752 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
753 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
754 root 1.493
755 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
756 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
757     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
758     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
759 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
760     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
761     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
762 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
763     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
764 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
765 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
766     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
767 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
768 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
769 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
770 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
771 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
772 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
773 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
774 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
775     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
776     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
777 root 1.474
778 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
779 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
780     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
781     Chuck Blake.
782 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
783     obscure the mouse cursor position.
784 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
785 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
786     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
787 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
788     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
789 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
790     transfer efficiency.
791 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
792 root 1.463
793 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
794 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
795 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
796     while the user still drags.
797 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
798     not drawn correctly.
799 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
800     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
801 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
802     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
803 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
804     stripping whitespace.
805 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
806 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
807 root 1.452
808 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
809 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
810 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
811 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
812     (also a bug in original rxvt).
813 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
814     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
815     partial patch).
816     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
817     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
818 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
819 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
820 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
821 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
822 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
823 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
824 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
825     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
826     - slight overall speed improvements.
827     - considerably improved code clarity.
828 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
829     buffer.
830 root 1.437
831 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
832 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
833     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
834     (matters only for rxvtd).
835 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
836 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
837 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
838 root 1.431
839 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
840 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
841 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
842     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
843     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
844     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
845     percentage by 100-percentage.
846     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
847     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
848     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
849     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
850     windows.
851     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
852     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
853     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
854     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
855     - replaced INSTALL file.
856    
857 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
858 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
859 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
860     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
861     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
862     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
863     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
864     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
865 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
866 root 1.411
867 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
868 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
869     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
870     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
871     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
872     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
873     Affects display in iso14755 box.
874     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
875     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
876     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
877     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
878     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
879     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
880     cutting pieces off of characters.
881     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
882     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
883     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
884     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
885     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
886     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
887     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
888 root 1.399
889 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
890 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
891 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
892     meaning of the given key.
893     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
894     (patch by Martin Edlman).
895 root 1.394
896 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
897     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
898 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
899     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
900     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
901 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
902 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
903 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
904 root 1.433 to disable it.
905 root 1.393
906 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
907     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
908 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
909     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
910     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
911     with modifiers.
912 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
913     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
914 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
915     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
916     and clear the scrollback buffer.
917 root 1.389
918 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
919 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
920 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
921     a command.
922     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
923     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
924     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
925     in Perl/Gtk2.
926     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
927     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
928 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
929 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
930     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
931     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
932     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
933     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
934     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
935     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
936     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
937     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
938     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
939     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
940     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
941 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
942 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
943     rxvt-unicode).
944     - get rid of the intpro files.
945 root 1.373
946 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
947 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
948 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
949     (Kuang-che Wu).
950     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
951     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
952     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
953     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
954     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
955     along with other, similar, cleanups.
956     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
957     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
958     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
959     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
960     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
961     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
962 root 1.361
963 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
964     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
965 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
966     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
967     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
968     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
969     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
970     his patience and time in tracking this down).
971     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
972     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
973 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
974 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
975     by Joël Riou).
976     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
977     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
978     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
979     - shaved off some code segment size.
980     - various code cleanups.
981     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
982 root 1.360
983 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
984 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
985     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
986     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
987     -pixmap is active.
988     - new option/resource imFont.
989     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
990     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
991     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
992     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
993     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
994     (WU Fengguang).
995     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
996     examples (rxvt.1).
997     - removed src/test completely.
998     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
999 root 1.287
1000 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1001 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1002     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1003     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1004     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1005     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1006     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1007     resulting in segfaults.
1008     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1009     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1010     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1011     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1012     (Mikael Magnusson).
1013     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1014     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1015     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1016     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1017     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1018     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1019     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1020     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1021     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1022     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1023     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1024     - initialize the locale much earlier.
1025     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1026 root 1.331
1027 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1028 root 1.430 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
1029     black on initial startup.
1030     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1031     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1032 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1033 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1034     additional multimedia keys.
1035     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1036     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1037 root 1.312
1038 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1039 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1040 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1041     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1042     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1043     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1044     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1045     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1046     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets

1049     instead.

1071     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1072     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1073     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1074     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1075     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1077     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1127     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1128     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1129     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1130     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1131     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1132     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1133     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1134     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1135     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1136     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1137     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1138     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1139     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1140     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1141     in tracking this down.

1156     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1157     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

1159     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1160     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1161     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1162     screen updates with curses.
1163     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1164     by spaces.
1165     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1166     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1167     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1168     is just too slow for this to work.
1169     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1170     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1171     implement. use --enable-styles.
1172     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1173     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1174     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1175     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1176     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1177     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.

1180     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1181     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1182     (only for non-bold right now).
1183     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1184     - better default font size and style.
1185     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1186     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1187     single character against the base font extents and will only
1188     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1189     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1190     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1191     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1192     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1193     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1194     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1195     screen height.
1196     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1197     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1198     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1199     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1200     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1201     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1202     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.

1212 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough

1214     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1215     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1216     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1217     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1218     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1219     close).
1220     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1221     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1228     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1229     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1230     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1231     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1232     works.

1239     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1240     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1241     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1267     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1268     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1269     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1270     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1271     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1272     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1273     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1274     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1275     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1276     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1277     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1278     needs testing anyways.
1279     - more complete compile options help output.
1280     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1281     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1410     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1411     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1412     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1413 pcg 1.91
1414 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1415     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1416     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1417 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1418     - removed old selection style completely.
1419     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1420     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1421     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1422     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1423     be used from within rxvt.
1424     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1425 pcg 1.83
1426 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1427     - code cleanup release.
1428     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1429 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1430     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1431     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1432     all files.
1433     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1434     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1435 pcg 1.74
1436 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1437 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1438     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1439     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1440     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1441     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1442 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1443 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1444     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1445     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1446     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1447     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1448     --disable-xgetdefault.
1449     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1450     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1451     unicode character.
1452 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1453 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1454 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1455 pcg 1.69
1456 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1457 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1458 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1459     settings.
1460     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1461     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1462     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1463     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1464     mbrtowc.
1465     - more robust encoding name matching.
1466     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1467     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1468     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1469     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1470     resources and docs.
1471     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1472 pcg 1.58
1473 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1474     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1475 root 1.430 - some doc cleanup
1476     - configure cleanup
1477     - viscii enabled by default
1478     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1479 pcg 1.50
1480     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1481     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1482    
1483 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1484 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1485 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1486     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1487     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1488     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1489     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1490     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1491     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1492     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1493     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1494     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1495     reported by joel reed.
1496     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1497     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1498     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1499     being selected.
1500     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1501     - removed greek support.
1502     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1503     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1504     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1505 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1506 root 1.430 contributed.
1507     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1508     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1509     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1510     - many other minor bugfixes.
1511 pcg 1.26
1512 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1513 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1514 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1515 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1516     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1517     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1518 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1519     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1520     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1521     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1522 pcg 1.19
1523 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1524     - further cleanups.
1525 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1526     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1527     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1528     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1529     please drop me a note.
1530 pcg 1.16
1531 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1532 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1533 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1534     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1535     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1536     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1537     was never implemented
1538 pcg 1.13
1539 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1540 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1541 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1542     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1543     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1544     reported by fefe
1545     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1546     Markus Demleitner
1547     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1548     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1549     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1550 pcg 1.7
1551 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1552 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1555 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1556 pcg 1.1
1557 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1558 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
