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 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
25 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
26     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
27 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
28     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
29     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
31     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
32 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
33     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
34 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
35     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
36 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
37 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
38     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
39     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
40 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
41 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
42 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
43     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
44 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
45     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
46     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
48     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
49     with gcc.
50 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
52 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
53 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
54 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
55     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
56 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
57     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
58 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
59 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
60 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
61 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
62 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
63 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
64 root 1.988
65 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
66 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
67 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
68     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
69 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
70     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
71 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
72 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
73     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
74 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
75 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
76     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
77     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
78     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
79 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
80 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
81     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
82 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
83     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
84 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
85 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
86 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
87 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
88     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
89     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
91     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
92     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
93     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
95     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96     - fix build on XFree86.
97 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
98 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
99 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
100     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
101 sf-exg 1.975

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

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

124     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
125     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
127     (found by Mikachu).
128 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
129     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
131 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
133 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
134 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
135 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room

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

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

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

259 root 1.861 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one

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

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

303 root 1.832 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
304     - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
305     resets the terminal.
306 root 1.837 - scrollbar code cleanups.
307 root 1.845 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.

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

324 root 1.819 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
325 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
326     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
327     effects.
328 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
329 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also

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

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

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

428     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
429 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
430 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).

437 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!

439     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
440 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
441     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
442     Reported by Takano Akio.
443 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
444 root 1.722 reported by exg.
445 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
446 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
447 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).

449 root 1.722
450 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
451 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
452     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
453     circumstances (reported by exg).
454 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
455     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
456 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
457     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
458 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
459     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
460 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
461     - update to libptytty-1.0.
462 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of

464 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
465 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
466 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
467     bug #143985).
468 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
469 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that

471 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
472 root 1.698
473 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006

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

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

637 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
638 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
639     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
640 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
641 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
642     needs the careful rendering mode.
643     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
644     too wide and needs careful mode.
645 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
646 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.

648     atoms only once per display.
649 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
650 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
651     xterm.
652 root 1.570
653 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
654 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
655     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
656     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
657     ctrl-shift-672c).
658 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
659 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
660 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
661     the primary screen.
662 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
663     could lead to an assertion failure.
664 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
665 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
666     via mouse clicks.
667 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
668 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
669 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
670     in non-synthetic events.
671 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
672 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
673     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
674 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
675     whole urxvt[d] process.
676     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
677     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
678     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.

681 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
682 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
683     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
684     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
685     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
686     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
687     special privileges.
688     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
689     itself.
690 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
691     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
692     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
693 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
694     similar stuff.
695 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
696 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
697     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
698 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
699     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
700     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
701     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
702     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
703     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
704 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
705     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
706 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
707 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
708 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
709 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
710     to set the window title.
711     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
712     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
713     at the wrong time.
714 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
715     anymore.
716 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
717 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
718 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
719 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.

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

966 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
967     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
968     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
969     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
970     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
971     his patience and time in tracking this down).
972     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
973     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
974 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
975 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
976     by Joël Riou).
977     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
978     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
979     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
980     - shaved off some code segment size.

983 root 1.360
984 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
985 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
986     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
987     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
988     -pixmap is active.
989     - new option/resource imFont.
990     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
991     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
992     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
993     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
994     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
995     (WU Fengguang).
996     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
997     examples (rxvt.1).
998     - removed src/test completely.

1001 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1002 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1003     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1004     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1005     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1006     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1007     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1008     resulting in segfaults.
1009     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1010     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1011     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1012     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1013     (Mikael Magnusson).
1014     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1015     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1016     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1017     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1018     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1019     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1020     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1021     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1022     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1023     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1024     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1025     - initialize the locale much earlier.

1042     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1043     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1044     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).

1073     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1074     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1075     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1076     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1078     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1128     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1129     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1130     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1131     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1132     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1133     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1134     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1135     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1136     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1137     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1138     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1139     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1140     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1141     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1142     in tracking this down.

1157     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1158     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

1160     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1161     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1162     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1163     screen updates with curses.
1164     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1165     by spaces.
1166     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1167     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1168     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1169     is just too slow for this to work.
1170     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1171     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1172     implement. use --enable-styles.
1173     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1174     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1175     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1176     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1177     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1178     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.

1181     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1182     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1183     (only for non-bold right now).
1184     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1185     - better default font size and style.
1186     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1187     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1188     single character against the base font extents and will only
1189     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1190     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1191     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1192     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1193     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1194     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1195     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1196     screen height.
1197     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1198     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1199     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1200     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1201     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1202     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1203     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.

1213 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough

1215     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1216     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1217     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1218     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1219     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1220     close).
1221     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1222     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1229     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1230     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1231     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1232     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1233     works.

1241     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1242     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1268     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1269     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1270     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1271     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1272     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1273     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1274     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1275     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1276     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1277     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1278     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which

1280     - more complete compile options help output.
1281     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1282     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1410     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1411     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1412     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1413     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1414 pcg 1.91
1415 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1416     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1417     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1418 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1419     - removed old selection style completely.
1420     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1421     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1422     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1423     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1424     be used from within rxvt.
1425     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1426 pcg 1.83
1427 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1428     - code cleanup release.
1429     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1430 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1431     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1432     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1433     all files.
1434     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1435     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1436 pcg 1.74
1437 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1438 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1439     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1440     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1441     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1442     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1443 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1444 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1445     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1446     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1447     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1448     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1449     --disable-xgetdefault.
1450     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1451     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1452     unicode character.
1453 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1454 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1455 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1456 pcg 1.69
1457 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1458 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1459 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1460     settings.
1461     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1462     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1463     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1464     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1465     mbrtowc.
1466     - more robust encoding name matching.
1467     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1468     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1469     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1470     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1471     resources and docs.
1472     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1473 pcg 1.58
1474 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004

1478     - viscii enabled by default
1479     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1480 pcg 1.50
1481     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1482     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1483    
1484 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1485 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1486 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1487     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1488     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1489     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1490     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1491     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1492     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1493     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1494     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1495     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1496     reported by joel reed.
1497     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1498     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1499     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1500     being selected.
1501     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1502     - removed greek support.
1503     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1504     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1505     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1506 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1507 root 1.430 contributed.
1508     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1509     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1510     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1511     - many other minor bugfixes.
1512 pcg 1.26
1513 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1514 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1515 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1516 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1517     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1518     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1519 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1520     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1521     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1522     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1523 pcg 1.19
1524 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1525     - further cleanups.
1526 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1527     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1528     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1529     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1530     please drop me a note.
1531 pcg 1.16
1532 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1533 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1534 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1535     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1536     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1537     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1538     was never implemented
1539 pcg 1.13
1540 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1541 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1542 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1543     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1544     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1545     reported by fefe
1546     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1547     Markus Demleitner
1548     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1549     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1550     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1551 pcg 1.7
1552 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1553 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1556 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1557 pcg 1.1
1558 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
