# User Rev Content
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 root 1.1028 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
24     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
25     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
26     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
27 sf-exg 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
28 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
29     core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
30 sf-exg 1.1026
31 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
32 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
33 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
34     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
35 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
36     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
37     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
38 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
39     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
40 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
41     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
42 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
43     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
44 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
45 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
46     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
47     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
48 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
49 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
50 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
51     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
52 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
53     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
54     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
55 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
56     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
57     with gcc.
58 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
59 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
60 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
61 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
62 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
63     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
64 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
65     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
67 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
68 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
69 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
70 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
71 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
72 root 1.988
73 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
74 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
75 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
76     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
77 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
78     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
79 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
80 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
81     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
82 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
83 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
84     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
85     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
86     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
87 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
88 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
89     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
90 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
91     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
92 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
93 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
94 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
95 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
96     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
97     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
99     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
100     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
101     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
103     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104     - fix build on XFree86.
105 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
106 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
107 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
108     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
109 sf-exg 1.975

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

117 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
119 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line

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

132     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
133     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
134     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
135     (found by Mikachu).
136 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
137     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
139 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
140 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
141 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
142 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
143 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
144 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
145     for 256 colours.

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

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

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

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

304     work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
305     channels or background images are used.
306 root 1.833 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
307     till the first event arrives. or so.

321     when the command exited but only on the next X event.
322 root 1.827 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
323 root 1.824 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
324     would not clear it visually in another.
325 root 1.826 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
326 root 1.827 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
327 root 1.823 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
328 root 1.822 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).

334     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
335     effects.

337 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
338     fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.

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

437 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
438 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).

448 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
449     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
450     Reported by Takano Akio.
451 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
452 root 1.722 reported by exg.

454 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.

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

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

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

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

646 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
647     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
648 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
649 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
650     needs the careful rendering mode.
651     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
652     too wide and needs careful mode.

658 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
659     xterm.
660 root 1.570
661 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
662 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
663     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
664     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
665     ctrl-shift-672c).
666 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
667 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
668 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
669     the primary screen.
670 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
671     could lead to an assertion failure.
672 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
673 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
674     via mouse clicks.
675 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
676 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
677 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
678     in non-synthetic events.
679 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
680 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
681     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
682 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
683     whole urxvt[d] process.
684     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
685     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
686     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
687 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
688 root 1.552
689 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
690 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
691     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
692     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
693     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
694     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
695     special privileges.
696     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
697     itself.
698 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
699     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
700     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
701 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
702     similar stuff.
703 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
704 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
705     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
706 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
707     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
708     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
709     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
710     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
711     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
712 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
713     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
714 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
715 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
716 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
717 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
718     to set the window title.
719     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
720     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
721     at the wrong time.
722 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
723     anymore.
724 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
725 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
726 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
727 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
728     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
729 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
730 root 1.518
731 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
732 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
733 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
734 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
735     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
736 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
737     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
738 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
739     and much much more.
740 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
741 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
742 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
743 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
744     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
745 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
746 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
747 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
748 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
749 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
750 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
751 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
752 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
753 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
754     compatible, and not really small either.
755     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
756     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
757 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
758     to crashes.
759 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
760     colours.
761 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
762 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
763 root 1.493
764 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
765 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
766     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
767     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
768 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
769     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
770     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
771 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
772     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
773 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
774 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
775     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
776 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
777 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
778 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
779 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
780 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
781 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
782 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
783 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
784     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
785     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
786 root 1.474
787 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
788 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
789     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
790     Chuck Blake.
791 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
792     obscure the mouse cursor position.
793 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
794 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
795     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
796 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
797     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
798 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
799     transfer efficiency.
800 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
801 root 1.463
802 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
803 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
804 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
805     while the user still drags.
806 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
807     not drawn correctly.
808 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
809     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
810 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
811     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
812 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
813     stripping whitespace.
814 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
815 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
816 root 1.452
817 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
818 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
819 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
820 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
821     (also a bug in original rxvt).
822 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
823     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
824     partial patch).
825     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
826     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
827 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
828 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
829 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
830 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
831 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
832 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
833 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
834     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
835     - slight overall speed improvements.
836     - considerably improved code clarity.
837 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
838     buffer.
839 root 1.437
840 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
841 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
842     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
843     (matters only for rxvtd).
844 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
845 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
846 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
847 root 1.431
848 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
849 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
850 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
851     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
852     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
853     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
854     percentage by 100-percentage.
855     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
856     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
857     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
858     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
859     windows.
860     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
861     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
862     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
863     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
864     - replaced INSTALL file.
865    
866 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
867 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
868 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
869     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
870     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
871     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
872     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
873     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
874 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
875 root 1.411
876 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
877 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
878     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
879     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
880     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
881     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
882     Affects display in iso14755 box.
883     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
884     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
885     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
886     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
887     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
888     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
889     cutting pieces off of characters.
890     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
891     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
892     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
893     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
894     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
895     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
896     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
897 root 1.399
898 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
899 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
900 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
901     meaning of the given key.
902     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
903     (patch by Martin Edlman).
904 root 1.394
905 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
906     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
907 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
908     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
909     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
910 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
911 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
912 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
913 root 1.433 to disable it.
914 root 1.393
915 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
916     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
917 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
918     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
919     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
920     with modifiers.
921 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
922     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
923 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
924     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
925     and clear the scrollback buffer.
926 root 1.389
927 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
928 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
929 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
930     a command.
931     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
932     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
933     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
934     in Perl/Gtk2.
935     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
936     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
937 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
938 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
939     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
940     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
941     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
942     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
943     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
944     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
945     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
946     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
947     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
948     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
949     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
950 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
951 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
952     rxvt-unicode).
953     - get rid of the intpro files.
954 root 1.373
955 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
956 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
957 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
958     (Kuang-che Wu).
959     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
960     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
961     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
962     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
963     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
964     along with other, similar, cleanups.
965     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
966     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
967     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
968     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
969     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
970     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
971 root 1.361
972 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
973     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
974 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
975     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
976     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
977     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
978     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
979     his patience and time in tracking this down).
980     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
981     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
982 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
983 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
984     by Joël Riou).
985     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
986     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
987     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
988     - shaved off some code segment size.

991 root 1.360
992 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
993 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
994     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
995     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
996     -pixmap is active.
997     - new option/resource imFont.
998     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
999     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1000     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1001     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1002     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1003     (WU Fengguang).
1004     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1005     examples (rxvt.1).
1006     - removed src/test completely.

1009 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1010 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1011     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1012     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1013     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1014     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1015     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1016     resulting in segfaults.
1017     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1018     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1019     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1020     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1021     (Mikael Magnusson).
1022     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1023     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1024     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1025     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1026     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1027     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1028     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1029     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1030     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1031     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1032     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1033     - initialize the locale much earlier.

1051     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3

1080     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1081     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1082     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1083     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1084     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1136     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1137     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1138     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1139     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1140     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1141     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1142     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1143     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1144     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1145     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1146     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1147     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1148     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1149     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1165     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1166     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

1168     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1169     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1170     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1171     screen updates with curses.
1172     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1173     by spaces.
1174     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1175     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1176     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1177     is just too slow for this to work.
1178     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1179     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1180     implement. use --enable-styles.
1181     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1182     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1183     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1184     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1185     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1186     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1187 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1188 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1189     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1190     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1191     (only for non-bold right now).
1192     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1193     - better default font size and style.
1194     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1195     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1196     single character against the base font extents and will only
1197     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1198     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1199     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1200     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1201     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1202     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1203     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1204     screen height.
1205     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1206     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1207     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1208     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1209     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1210     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1211     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1212     - removed OSC 702.

1220 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1221 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1222     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1223     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1224     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1225     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1226     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1227     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1228     close).
1229     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1230     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1233 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context

1235     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1236     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1237     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1238     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1239     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1240     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1241     works.
1242 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1243 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
1244     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).

1247     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1248     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1249     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1250     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1251     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1259     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1260     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1261     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1262     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1263     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1264     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).

1266     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1267     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1268     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

1275     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1276     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1277     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1278     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1279     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1280     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1281     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1282     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1283     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1284     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1285     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1286     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1287     needs testing anyways.
1288     - more complete compile options help output.
1289     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1290     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1409     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1410     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1411     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1412 pcg 1.108
1413 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004

1415 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1416     - more informative error messages.
1417     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1418     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1419     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1420     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1421     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1422 pcg 1.91
1423 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1424     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1425     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1426 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1427     - removed old selection style completely.
1428     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1429     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1430     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1431     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1432     be used from within rxvt.
1433     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1434 pcg 1.83
1435 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1436     - code cleanup release.
1437     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1438 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1439     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1440     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1441     all files.
1442     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without

1444 pcg 1.74
1445 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1446 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1447     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1448     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1449     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1450     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1451 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1452 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1453     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1454     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1455     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1456     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1457     --disable-xgetdefault.
1458     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1459     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1460     unicode character.
1461 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1462 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1463 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1464 pcg 1.69
1465 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1466 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1467 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1468     settings.
1469     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1470     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1471     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1472     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1473     mbrtowc.
1474     - more robust encoding name matching.
1475     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1476     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1477     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1478     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1479     resources and docs.
1480     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

1487     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1488 pcg 1.50
1489     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1490     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.

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

1564 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1565 pcg 1.1
1566 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
