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

22 root 1.933
23 sf-exg 1.1026 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances,
24     more likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors
25     support. Fixes gentoo bug #358151 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
26    
27 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
28 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
29 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
30     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
31 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
32     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
33     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
34 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
35     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
36 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
37     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
38 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
39     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
40 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
41 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
42     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
43     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
44 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
45 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
46 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
47     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
48 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
49     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
50     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
52     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
53     with gcc.
54 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
55 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
56 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
57 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
58 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
59     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
60 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
61     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
62 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
63 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
64 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
65 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
66 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
67 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
68 root 1.988
69 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
70 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
71 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
72     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
73 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
74     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
75 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
76 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
77     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
78 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
79 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
80     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
81     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
82     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
83 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
84 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
85     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
86 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
87     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
88 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
89 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
90 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
91 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
92     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
93     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
95     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
96     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
97     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
99     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100     - fix build on XFree86.
101 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
102 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
103 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
104     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.

108     - the bestest release ever.
109 sf-exg 1.970 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
110 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
113 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
117     (Emanuele Giaquinta).

123     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
124     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
125     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
126     characters other than first one in the selected cell
127     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
129     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
131     (found by Mikachu).
132 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
133     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
134 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
135 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
137 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
139 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
140 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
141     for 256 colours.
142 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).

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

165 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
166 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
167     in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.

172 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
173     systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).

182     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
183 root 1.914 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
184 root 1.913 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).

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

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

271 root 1.869 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
272 root 1.857 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.

274     from the toplevel window to the children.
275 root 1.859 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
276 root 1.871 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.

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

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

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

329 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
330     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
331     effects.
332 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
333 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
334     fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.

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

362 root 1.793 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
363     the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
364 root 1.802 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).

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

399 tpope 1.766 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
400 ayin 1.767 extension (tpope).
401 ayin 1.771 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
402 root 1.772 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
403 root 1.777 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor

405 root 1.751
406 root 1.750 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
407 root 1.730 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
408 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
409     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
410 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
411 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
412     (found by Aiviru).
413 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
414     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
415     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
416     case to work around for :/
417 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
418 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
419     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
420     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
421 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
422 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
423     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
424 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
425     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
426     Paskevich).
427 root 1.744 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.

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

441 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
442 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
443     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
444 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
445     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
446     Reported by Takano Akio.
447 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
448 root 1.722 reported by exg.
449 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
450 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
451 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).

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

479 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
480 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
481     it does! :->
482 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
483 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
484 root 1.691
485 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
486 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
487     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
488     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
489     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
490     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
491 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
492 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
493 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
494     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
495 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
496 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
497     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
498     uppercase character.
499 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
500 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
501     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
502 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
503     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
504 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
505     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
506 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
507     generic osc_seq.
508 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
509     were invoked recursively.
510 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
511     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
512 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
513 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
514     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
515     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
516 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
517 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
518 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
519 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
520     follow C++ closely enough.
521 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
522 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
523 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
524     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
525 root 1.661
526 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
527 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
528 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
529     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
530 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
531 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
532 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
533 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
534     refresh bugs please.
535 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
536 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
537     improve size hint setting.
538 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
539     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
540     to correctly position their preedit window.
541 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
542     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
543 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
544 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
545     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
546 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
547     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
548 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
549 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
550 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
551     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
552     (reported by Paco-Paco).
553 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
554     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
555 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
556 root 1.645
557 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
558 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
559 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
560     resource value.
561 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
562 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
563 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
564     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
565     (initial patch by hednod).
566 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
567     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
568 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
569     the benefit of automove-background.
570 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
571 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
572 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
573 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
574     __linux__.
575 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
576     the colour components.
577 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
578     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
579 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
580     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
581 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
582 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
583 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
584 root 1.617
585 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
586 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
587 ayin 1.767 detection:
588 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
589     - overlap detection was improved.
590     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
591     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
592     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
593     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
594     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
595     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
596     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
597     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
598 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
599     broken.
600     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
601 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
602     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
603 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
604 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
605 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
606 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
607 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
608     an "[alpha]" prefix.
609 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
610     transparent. Long Live Xft!
611     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
612     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
613 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
614     on a pseudocolor screen.
615 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
616     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
617     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
618     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
619     - small configure updates.

621 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
622     the debian package.
623 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,

632 root 1.593
633 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
634 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
635     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
636 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
637 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
638 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
639     selection extension.
640 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
641 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
642 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
643     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
644 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
645 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
646     needs the careful rendering mode.
647     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
648     too wide and needs careful mode.
649 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
650 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
651 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
652     atoms only once per display.
653 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
654 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
655     xterm.
656 root 1.570
657 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
658 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
659     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
660     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
661     ctrl-shift-672c).
662 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
663 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
664 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
665     the primary screen.
666 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
667     could lead to an assertion failure.
668 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
669 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
670     via mouse clicks.
671 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
672 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
673 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
674     in non-synthetic events.
675 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
676 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
677     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
678 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
679     whole urxvt[d] process.
680     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
681     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
682     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
683 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

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

730 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
731     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
732 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
733     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
734 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
735     and much much more.
736 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
737 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
738 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
739 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
740     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
741 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
742 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
743 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
744 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
745 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
746 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
747 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
748 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
749 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
750     compatible, and not really small either.
751     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
752     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
753 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
754     to crashes.
755 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
756     colours.
757 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.

759 root 1.493
760 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
761 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
762     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
763     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
764 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
765     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
766     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
767 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
768     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
769 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
770 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
771     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
772 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
773 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
774 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
775 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
776 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
777 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
778 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
779 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
780     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
781     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
782 root 1.474
783 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
784 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink

786     Chuck Blake.
787 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
788     obscure the mouse cursor position.
789 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
790 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
791     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
792 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
793     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
794 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
795     transfer efficiency.

800 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
801     while the user still drags.
802 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
803     not drawn correctly.
804 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
805     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
806 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
807     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
808 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
809     stripping whitespace.
810 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
811 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
812 root 1.452
813 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
814 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
815 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
816 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
817     (also a bug in original rxvt).
818 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
819     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
820     partial patch).
821     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
822     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
823 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
824 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
825 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
826 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
827 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
828 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
829 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
830     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
831     - slight overall speed improvements.
832     - considerably improved code clarity.
833 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
834     buffer.

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

953 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
954     (Kuang-che Wu).
955     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
956     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
957     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
958     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
959     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
960     along with other, similar, cleanups.
961     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
962     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
963     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
964     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
965     match (reported by Paco-Paco).

970 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
971     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
972     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
973     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
974     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
975     his patience and time in tracking this down).
976     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
977     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
978 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
979 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea

981     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
982     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
983     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
984     - shaved off some code segment size.

991     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
992     -pixmap is active.
993     - new option/resource imFont.
994     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
995     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
996     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
997     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
998     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
999     (WU Fengguang).
1000     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1001     examples (rxvt.1).

1006 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1007     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1008     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1009     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1010     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1011     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1012     resulting in segfaults.
1013     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1014     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1015     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1016     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1017     (Mikael Magnusson).
1018     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1019     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1020     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1021     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1022     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1023     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1024     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1025     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1026     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1027     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1028     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1029     - initialize the locale much earlier.

1047     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1048     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).

1077     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1078     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1079     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1080     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1133     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1134     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1135     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1136     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1137     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1138     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1139     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1140     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1141     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1142     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1143     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1144     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1145     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1166     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1167     screen updates with curses.
1168     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1169     by spaces.
1170     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1171     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1172     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1173     is just too slow for this to work.
1174     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1175     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1176     implement. use --enable-styles.
1177     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1178     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1179     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1180     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1181     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

1186     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1187     (only for non-bold right now).
1188     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1189     - better default font size and style.
1190     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1191     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1192     single character against the base font extents and will only
1193     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1194     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1195     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1196     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1197     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1198     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1199     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1200     screen height.
1201     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1202     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.

1204     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1205     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1206     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

1219     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1220     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1221     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1222     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1223     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1224     close).

1233     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1234     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1235     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1236     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually

1245     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1246     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1273     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1274     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1275     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1276     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some

1278     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:

1284     - more complete compile options help output.
1285     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.

1409 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1410     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1411 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1412     - more informative error messages.
1413     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1414     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1415     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1416     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1417     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1418 pcg 1.91
1419 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1420     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.

1422 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1423     - removed old selection style completely.
1424     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1425     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1426     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1427     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1428     be used from within rxvt.
1429     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1430 pcg 1.83
1431 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1432     - code cleanup release.

1434 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1435     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1436     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1437     all files.
1438     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1439     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1440 pcg 1.74
1441 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1442 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1443     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1444     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1445     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1446     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1447 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1448 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1449     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1450     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1451     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1452     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1453     --disable-xgetdefault.
1454     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1455     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1456     unicode character.
1457 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1458 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1459 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1460 pcg 1.69
1461 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1462 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1463 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1464     settings.
1465     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1466     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1467     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1468     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1469     mbrtowc.
1470     - more robust encoding name matching.
1471     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1472     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1473     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1474     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1475     resources and docs.
1476     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

1483     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1484 pcg 1.50
1485     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1486     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1487    
1488 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1489 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1490 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1491     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1492     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1493     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1494     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1495     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1496     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1497     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1498     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1499     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1500     reported by joel reed.
1501     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1502     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1503     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1504     being selected.
1505     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1506     - removed greek support.
1507     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1508     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1509     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1510 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1511 root 1.430 contributed.
1512     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1513     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1514     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1515     - many other minor bugfixes.
1516 pcg 1.26
1517 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1518 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1519 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1520 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1521     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1522     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1523 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1524     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1525     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1526     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1527 pcg 1.19
1528 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1529     - further cleanups.
1530 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1531     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1532     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1533     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1534     please drop me a note.
1535 pcg 1.16
1536 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1537 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1538 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1539     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1540     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1541     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1542     was never implemented
1543 pcg 1.13
1544 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1545 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1546 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1547     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1548     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1549     reported by fefe
1550     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1551     Markus Demleitner
1552     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1553     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1554     - completely removed non-working graphics mode

1560 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1561 pcg 1.1
1562 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
