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 1.1029 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
24     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
25     support the UTF8_STRING target.
26 root 1.1028 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
27     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
28     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
29     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 sf-exg 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
31 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
32     core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
33 sf-exg 1.1026
34 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
35 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
36 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
37     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
38 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
39     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
40     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
41 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
42     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
43 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
44     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
45 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
46     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
47 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
48 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
49     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
50     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
51 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
52 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
53 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
54     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
55 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
56     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
57     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
58 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
59     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
60     with gcc.
61 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
62 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
63 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
64 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
65 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
66     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
67 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
68     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
69 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
70 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
71 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
72 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
73 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
74 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
75 root 1.988
76 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
77 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
78 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
79     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
81     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
82 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
83 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
84     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
85 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
86 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
87     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
88     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
89     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
90 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
91 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
92     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
93 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
94     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
95 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
96 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
97 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
98 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
99     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
100     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
102     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
103     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
104     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
106     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107     - fix build on XFree86.
108 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
109 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
110 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
111     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.

117 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
119 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
121 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
123     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

323 root 1.820 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
324     when the command exited but only on the next X event.
325 root 1.827 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
326 root 1.824 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
327     would not clear it visually in another.
328 root 1.826 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
329 root 1.827 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
330 root 1.823 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).

417 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
418 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
419     (found by Aiviru).
420 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
421     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives

423     case to work around for :/
424 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
425 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
426     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.

429 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
430     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
431 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been

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

463     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most

465 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
466     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).

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

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

645 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the

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

655     too wide and needs careful mode.
656 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
657 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.

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

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

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

1000     - new option/resource imFont.
1001     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1002     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1003     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.

1013 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1014     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1015     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1016     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1017     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1018     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1019     resulting in segfaults.
1020     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1021     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1022     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1023     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1024     (Mikael Magnusson).
1025     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1026     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1027     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1028     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1029     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1030     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1031     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1032     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1033     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1034     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1035     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

1084     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1085     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1086     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1087     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1139     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1140     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1141     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1142     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1143     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1144     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1145     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1146     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1147     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1148     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1149     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1150     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1151     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1152     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1153     in tracking this down.

1168     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1169     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1170     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1171     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1172     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1173     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1174     screen updates with curses.
1175     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1176     by spaces.
1177     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1178     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1179     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1180     is just too slow for this to work.
1181     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1182     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1183     implement. use --enable-styles.
1184     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1185     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1186     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1187     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1188     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1189     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1190 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1191 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1192     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1193     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1194     (only for non-bold right now).
1195     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1196     - better default font size and style.
1197     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1198     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1199     single character against the base font extents and will only
1200     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1201     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1202     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1203     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1204     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1205     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1206     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1207     screen height.
1208     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1209     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1210     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1211     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1212     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1213     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1214     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1215     - removed OSC 702.

1223 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1224 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1225     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1226     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1227     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1228     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1229     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1230     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1231     close).
1232     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1233     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1234     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).

1236 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1237 root 1.430 could not be created.
1238     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1239     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1240     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1241     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1242     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1243     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1244     works.
1245 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1246 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
1247     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).

1249     character is a sensible operation.
1250     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1251     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1252     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1253     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1254     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1261     needs access to a local shell window).
1262     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1263     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1264     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1265     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1266     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1267     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1268     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1269     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1270     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1271     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

1278     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1279     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1280     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1281     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1282     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1283     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1284     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1285     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1286     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1287     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1288     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1289     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1290     needs testing anyways.
1291     - more complete compile options help output.
1292     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1293     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1294     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than

1406     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1407     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1408     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1409     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1410     (FRILLS).
1411     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1412     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1413     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1414     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1415 pcg 1.108
1416 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1417     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1418 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1419     - more informative error messages.
1420     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1421     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1422     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1423     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1424     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1425 pcg 1.91
1426 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1427     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1428     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1429 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1430     - removed old selection style completely.
1431     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1432     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1433     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1434     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1435     be used from within rxvt.
1436     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1437 pcg 1.83
1438 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1439     - code cleanup release.
1440     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1441 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1442     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1443     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1444     all files.
1445     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1446     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1447 pcg 1.74
1448 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1449 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1450     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1451     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1452     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1453     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1454 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1455 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1456     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1457     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1458     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1459     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1460     --disable-xgetdefault.
1461     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1462     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1463     unicode character.
1464 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1465 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1466 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1467 pcg 1.69
1468 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1469 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1470 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1471     settings.
1472     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1473     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1474     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1475     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1476     mbrtowc.
1477     - more robust encoding name matching.
1478     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1479     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1480     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1481     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1482     resources and docs.
1483     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1484 pcg 1.58
1485 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1486     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1487 root 1.430 - some doc cleanup
1488     - configure cleanup
1489     - viscii enabled by default
1490     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1491 pcg 1.50
1492     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1493     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1494    
1495 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1496 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1497 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1498     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1499     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1500     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1501     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1502     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1503     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1504     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1505     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1506     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1507     reported by joel reed.
1508     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1509     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1510     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1511     being selected.
1512     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1513     - removed greek support.
1514     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1515     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1516     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1517 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1518 root 1.430 contributed.
1519     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1520     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1521     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1522     - many other minor bugfixes.
1523 pcg 1.26
1524 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1525 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1526 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1527 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1528     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1529     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1530 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1531     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1532     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1533     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1534 pcg 1.19
1535 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1536     - further cleanups.
1537 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1538     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1539     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1540     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1541     please drop me a note.
1542 pcg 1.16
1543 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1544 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1545 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1546     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1547     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1548     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1549     was never implemented
1550 pcg 1.13
1551 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1552 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1553 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1554     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1555     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1556     reported by fefe
1557     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1558     Markus Demleitner
1559     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1560     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1561     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1562 pcg 1.7
1563 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1564 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1565 root 1.430 - small font tunings
1566 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1567 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1568 pcg 1.1
1569 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1570 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
