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 1.1030 9.12
24 sf-exg 1.1029 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
25     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
26     support the UTF8_STRING target.
27 root 1.1028 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
28     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
29     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
30     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
31 sf-exg 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
32 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
33     core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
34 sf-exg 1.1026
35 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
36 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
37 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
38     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
39 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
40     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
41     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
43     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
44 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
45     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
46 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
47     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
48 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
49 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
50     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
51     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
52 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
53 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
54 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
55     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
56 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
57     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
58     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
59 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
60     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
61     with gcc.
62 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
64 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
65 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
66 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
67     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
68 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
69     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
70 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
71 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
72 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
73 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
74 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
75 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
76 root 1.988
77 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
78 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
79 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
80     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
81 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
82     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
83 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
84 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
85     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
86 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
87 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
88     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
89     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
90     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
91 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
92 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
93     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
94 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
95     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
96 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
97 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
98 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
99 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
100     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
101     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
103     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
104     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
105     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
107     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108     - fix build on XFree86.
109 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
110 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
111 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
112     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
113 sf-exg 1.975

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

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

155     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
156 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
157     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
158 root 1.966 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

429 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
430 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
431     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
432 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been

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

462 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
463 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
464     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most

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

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

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

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

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

657 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
658 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.

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

999     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1000     -pixmap is active.
1001     - new option/resource imFont.
1002     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1003     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1004     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1005     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1006     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1007     (WU Fengguang).
1008     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1009     examples (rxvt.1).

1013 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1014 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1015     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1016     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1017     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1018     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1019     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1020     resulting in segfaults.
1021     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1022     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1023     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1024     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1025     (Mikael Magnusson).
1026     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1027     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1028     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1029     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1030     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1031     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1032     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1033     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1034     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1035     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1036     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1037     - initialize the locale much earlier.

1085     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1086     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1087     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1088     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1140     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1141     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1142     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1143     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1144     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1145     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1146     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1147     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1148     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1149     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1150     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1151     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1152     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1153     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1154     in tracking this down.

1169     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1170     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1171     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1172     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1173     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1174     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1175     screen updates with curses.
1176     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1177     by spaces.
1178     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1179     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1180     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1181     is just too slow for this to work.
1182     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1183     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1184     implement. use --enable-styles.
1185     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1186     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1187     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1188     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1189     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1190     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1191 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1192 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1193     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1194     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1195     (only for non-bold right now).
1196     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1197     - better default font size and style.
1198     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1199     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1200     single character against the base font extents and will only
1201     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1202     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1203     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1204     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1205     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1206     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1207     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1208     screen height.
1209     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1210     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1211     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1212     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1213     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1214     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1215     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1216     - removed OSC 702.

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

1237 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context

1239     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1240     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1241     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1242     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1243     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1244     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1245     works.
1246 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1247 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
1248     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).

1251     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1252     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1253     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1254     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1255     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1262     needs access to a local shell window).
1263     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1264     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1265     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1266     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1267     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1268     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1269     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1270     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1271     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1272     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

1279     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1280     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1281     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1282     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1283     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1284     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1285     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1286     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1287     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1288     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1289     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1290     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1291     needs testing anyways.
1292     - more complete compile options help output.
1293     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1294     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1295     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than

1407     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1408     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1409     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1410     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1411     (FRILLS).
1412     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1413     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1414     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1415     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1416 pcg 1.108
1417 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1418     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1419 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1420     - more informative error messages.
1421     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1422     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1423     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1424     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1425     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1426 pcg 1.91
1427 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1428     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1429     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1430 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1431     - removed old selection style completely.
1432     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1433     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1434     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1435     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1436     be used from within rxvt.
1437     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1438 pcg 1.83
1439 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1440     - code cleanup release.
1441     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1442 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1443     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1444     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1445     all files.
1446     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1447     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1448 pcg 1.74
1449 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1450 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1451     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1452     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1453     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1454     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1455 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1456 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1457     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1458     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1459     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1460     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1461     --disable-xgetdefault.
1462     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1463     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1464     unicode character.
1465 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1466 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1467 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1468 pcg 1.69
1469 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1470 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1471 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1472     settings.
1473     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1474     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1475     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1476     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1477     mbrtowc.
1478     - more robust encoding name matching.
1479     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1480     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1481     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1482     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1483     resources and docs.
1484     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1485 pcg 1.58
1486 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1487     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1488 root 1.430 - some doc cleanup
1489     - configure cleanup
1490     - viscii enabled by default
1491     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1492 pcg 1.50
1493     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1494     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1495    
1496 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1497 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1498 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1499     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1500     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1501     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1502     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1503     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1504     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1505     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1506     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1507     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1508     reported by joel reed.
1509     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1510     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1511     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1512     being selected.
1513     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1514     - removed greek support.
1515     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1516     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1517     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1518 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1519 root 1.430 contributed.
1520     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1521     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1522     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1523     - many other minor bugfixes.
1524 pcg 1.26
1525 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1526 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1527 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1528 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1529     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1530     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1531 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1532     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1533     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1534     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1535 pcg 1.19
1536 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1537     - further cleanups.
1538 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1539     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1540     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1541     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1542     please drop me a note.
1543 pcg 1.16
1544 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1545 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1546 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1547     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1548     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1549     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1550     was never implemented
1551 pcg 1.13
1552 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1553 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1554 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1555     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1556     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1557     reported by fefe
1558     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1559     Markus Demleitner
1560     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1561     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1562     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1563 pcg 1.7
1564 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1565 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1566 root 1.430 - small font tunings
1567 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1568 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1569 pcg 1.1
1570 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1571 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
