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 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
24 sf-exg 1.1026 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances,
25     more likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors
26     support. Fixes gentoo bug #358151 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
27    
28 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
29 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
30 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
31     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
32 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
33     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
34     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
35 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
36     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
37 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
38     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
39 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
40     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
41 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
42 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
43     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
44     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
45 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
46 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
47 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
48     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
49 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
50     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
51     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
52 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
53     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
54     with gcc.
55 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
56 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
57 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
58 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
59 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
60     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
61 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
62     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
64 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
65 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
66 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
67 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
68 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
69 root 1.988
70 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
71 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
72 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
73     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
74 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
75     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
76 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
77 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
78     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
79 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
80 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
81     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
82     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
83     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
84 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
85 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
86     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
87 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
88     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
89 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
90 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
91 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
92 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
93     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
94     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
96     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
97     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
98     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
100     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101     - fix build on XFree86.
102 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
103 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
104 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
105     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.

111 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).

114 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).

125     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
126     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the

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

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

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

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

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

328 root 1.820
329 root 1.819 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
330 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
331     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
332     effects.
333 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
334 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
335     fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.

337     text was visible.
338 root 1.817 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
339     some minor improvements.

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

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

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

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

403 root 1.772 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
404 root 1.777 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor

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

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

439 ayin 1.767 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).

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

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

469 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
470 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
471 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
472     bug #143985).
473 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
474 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
475     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
476 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
477 root 1.698
478 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006

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

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

644     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
645 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
646 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
647     needs the careful rendering mode.
648     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
649     too wide and needs careful mode.
650 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
651 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.

653     atoms only once per display.
654 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
655 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
656     xterm.
657 root 1.570
658 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
659 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
660     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
661     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
662     ctrl-shift-672c).
663 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
664 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
665 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
666     the primary screen.
667 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
668     could lead to an assertion failure.
669 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
670 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
671     via mouse clicks.
672 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
673 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
674 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
675     in non-synthetic events.
676 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
677 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
678     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
679 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
680     whole urxvt[d] process.
681     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
682     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
683     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
684 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
685 root 1.552
686 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
687 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
688     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
689     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
690     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
691     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
692     special privileges.
693     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
694     itself.
695 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
696     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
697     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
698 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
699     similar stuff.
700 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
701 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
702     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
703 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
704     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
705     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
706     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
707     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
708     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
709 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
710     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
711 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
712 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
713 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
714 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
715     to set the window title.
716     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
717     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
718     at the wrong time.
719 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
720     anymore.
721 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
722 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
723 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
724 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
725     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.

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

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

992     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
993     -pixmap is active.
994     - new option/resource imFont.
995     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
996     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
997     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
998     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
999     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1000     (WU Fengguang).
1001     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1002     examples (rxvt.1).

1006 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1007 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1008     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1009     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1010     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1011     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1012     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1013     resulting in segfaults.
1014     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1015     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1016     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1017     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1018     (Mikael Magnusson).
1019     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1020     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1021     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1022     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1023     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1024     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1025     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1026     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1027     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1028     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1029     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1030     - initialize the locale much earlier.

1048     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1049     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1050     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1051     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1052     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1053     ignored.

1076     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1077     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1078     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1079     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1080     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1081     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1082     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1083     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1133     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1134     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1135     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1136     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1137     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1138     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1139     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1140     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1141     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1142     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1143     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1144     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1145     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1146     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1147     in tracking this down.

1163     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

1165     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1166     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1167     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1168     screen updates with curses.
1169     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1170     by spaces.
1171     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1172     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1173     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1174     is just too slow for this to work.
1175     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1176     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1177     implement. use --enable-styles.
1178     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1179     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1180     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1181     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1182     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1183     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1184 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is

1186     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1187     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1188     (only for non-bold right now).
1189     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1190     - better default font size and style.
1191     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1192     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1193     single character against the base font extents and will only
1194     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1195     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1196     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1197     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1198     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1199     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1200     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1201     screen height.
1202     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1203     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1204     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1205     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1206     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1207     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1208     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1209     - removed OSC 702.

1218 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1219     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1220     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1221     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1222     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1223     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1224     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1225     close).
1226     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1227     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1230 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context

1232     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1233     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1234     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1235     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1236     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1237     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1238     works.
1239 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

1244     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1245     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1246     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1247     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1248     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1256     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1257     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1258     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1259     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1260     a little window or so) would be welcome.

1263     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1264     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1265     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

1273     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1274     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1275     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1276     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1277     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1278     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1279     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1280     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1281     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1282     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1283     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1284     needs testing anyways.
1285     - more complete compile options help output.
1286     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1287     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1288     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than

1406     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1407     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1408     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1409 pcg 1.108
1410 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004

1412 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1413     - more informative error messages.
1414     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1415     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1416     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1417     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1418     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1419 pcg 1.91
1420 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1421     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1422     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1423 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1424     - removed old selection style completely.
1425     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1426     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1427     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1428     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1429     be used from within rxvt.
1430     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1431 pcg 1.83
1432 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1433     - code cleanup release.
1434     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1435 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1436     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1437     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1438     all files.
1439     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without

1441 pcg 1.74
1442 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1443 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1444     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1445     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1446     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1447     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1448 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1449 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1450     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1451     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1452     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1453     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1454     --disable-xgetdefault.
1455     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1456     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1457     unicode character.
1458 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1459 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1460 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1461 pcg 1.69
1462 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1463 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1464 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1465     settings.
1466     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1467     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1468     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1469     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1470     mbrtowc.
1471     - more robust encoding name matching.
1472     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1473     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1474     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1475     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1476     resources and docs.
1477     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

1484     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1485 pcg 1.50
1486     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1487     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.

1489 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1490 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1491 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1492     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1493     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1494     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1495     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1496     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1497     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1498     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1499     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1500     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1501     reported by joel reed.
1502     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1503     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1504     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1505     being selected.
1506     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1507     - removed greek support.
1508     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1509     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1510     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1511 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1512 root 1.430 contributed.
1513     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1514     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1515     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1516     - many other minor bugfixes.
1517 pcg 1.26
1518 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1519 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1520 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1521 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1522     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1523     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1524 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1525     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1526     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1527     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1528 pcg 1.19
1529 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1530     - further cleanups.
1531 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1532     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1533     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1534     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1535     please drop me a note.
1536 pcg 1.16
1537 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1538 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1539 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1540     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1541     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1542     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1543     was never implemented
1544 pcg 1.13
1545 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1546 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1547 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1548     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1549     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1550     reported by fefe
1551     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1552     Markus Demleitner
1553     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1554     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1555     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1556 pcg 1.7
1557 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1558 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1561 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1562 pcg 1.1
1563 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
