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 1.1036 TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
24 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
25     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
26     to disable both scaling and tiling.
27 sf-exg 1.1039 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
28     been removed in favour of simple composable operations and
29     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
30     settings. Old operations are still parsed for backward
31     compatibility (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
33     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
34     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
35 root 1.1036 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
36 sf-exg 1.1037 - Fix compilation on systems with bsd style utmp and no utmpx,
37     such as openbsd.
38 sf-exg 1.1034
39 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
40 sf-exg 1.1029 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
41     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
42     support the UTF8_STRING target.
43 root 1.1028 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
44     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
45     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
46     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 sf-exg 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
48 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
49     core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
50 root 1.1031 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
51 root 1.1032 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
52     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
53 sf-exg 1.1026
54 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
55 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
56 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
57     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
58 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
59     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
60     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
61 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
62     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
63 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
64     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
65 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
66     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
67 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
68 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
69     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
70     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
71 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
72 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
73 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
74     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
75 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
76     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
77     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
79     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
80     with gcc.
81 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
83 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
84 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
85 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
86     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
87 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
88     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
90 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
91 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
92 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
93 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
94 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
95 root 1.988
96 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
97 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
98 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
99     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
101     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
102 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
103 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
104     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
105 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
106 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
107     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
108     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
109     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
110 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
111 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
112     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
113 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
114     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
115 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
116 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
117 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
118 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
119     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
120     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
121 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
122     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
123     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
124     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
126     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
127     - fix build on XFree86.
128 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
129 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
130 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
131     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
132 sf-exg 1.975
133 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
134     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
135     - the bestest release ever.
136 sf-exg 1.970 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
137 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
139 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
140 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
141 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
142 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
144     (Emanuele Giaquinta).

146 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
147 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
148     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
149 root 1.947 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
150     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
151     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
152     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
153     characters other than first one in the selected cell
154     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
155     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
156     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
157     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
158     (found by Mikachu).
159 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
160     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
161 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
162 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
163 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
164 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
165 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
166 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room

172 root 1.965 88*88 possible pairs.
173 root 1.942 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
174     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
175 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
176     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
177 root 1.966 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
178 root 1.962 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
179 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
180     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
181     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
182 sf-exg 1.959 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
183 root 1.948 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
184     backspacekey was given.
185 root 1.949 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
186 root 1.951 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
187     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).

190 root 1.969 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
191 sf-exg 1.930

193 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
194     in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
195 root 1.912 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
196     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
197     Mikachu).

199 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
200     systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
201 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
202     (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
203 root 1.911 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
204     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
205 root 1.912 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
206 root 1.913 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
207     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
208     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
209     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
210 root 1.914 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
211 root 1.913 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).

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

238 root 1.901 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
239 root 1.907 - updates libev to 3.48.
240 root 1.886 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
241     when a window was closed.

248     makes copy&paste work.
249 root 1.879 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
250     no longer apply.
251 root 1.881 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
252     - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.

258     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
259 root 1.882 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
260     the only known workaround.

266     disabling size hints.
267 root 1.891 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
268     and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
269     as mouse reporting.
270     - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
271     tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.

292     issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
293     sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
294 root 1.871 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
295     broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
296     help working window managers as well.
297     - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
298 root 1.869 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
299 root 1.857 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
300 root 1.872 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
301     from the toplevel window to the children.
302 root 1.859 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
303 root 1.871 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
304 root 1.867 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

308     - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
309 ayin 1.852 - fix build with !xft.

312 root 1.851 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
313 root 1.848 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required

317 root 1.848
318 root 1.847 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
319 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
320     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
321 root 1.905 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
322 root 1.834 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
323 root 1.840 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
324     - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
325 root 1.839 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
326 root 1.844 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
327     work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
328     channels or background images are used.
329 root 1.833 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
330     till the first event arrives. or so.

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

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

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

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

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

675     too wide and needs careful mode.
676 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
677 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
678 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
679     atoms only once per display.
680 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
681 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
682     xterm.
683 root 1.570
684 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
685 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
686     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
687 sf-exg 1.1035 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
688 root 1.563 ctrl-shift-672c).
689 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
690 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
691 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
692     the primary screen.
693 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
694     could lead to an assertion failure.
695 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
696 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
697     via mouse clicks.
698 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
699 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
700 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
701     in non-synthetic events.
702 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
703 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
704     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
705 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
706     whole urxvt[d] process.
707     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
708     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
709     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
710 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
711 root 1.552
712 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
713 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
714     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
715     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
716     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
717     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
718     special privileges.
719     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
720     itself.
721 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
722     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
723     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
724 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
725     similar stuff.
726 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
727 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
728     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
729 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
730     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
731     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
732     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
733     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
734     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
735 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
736     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
737 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
738 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
739 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
740 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
741     to set the window title.
742     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
743     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
744     at the wrong time.
745 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
746     anymore.
747 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
748 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
749 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
750 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
751     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
752 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
753 root 1.518
754 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
755 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
756 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
757 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
758     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
759 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
760     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
761 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
762     and much much more.
763 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
764 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
765 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
766 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
767     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
768 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
769 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
770 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
771 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
772 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
773 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
774 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
775 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
776 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
777     compatible, and not really small either.
778     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
779     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
780 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
781     to crashes.
782 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
783     colours.
784 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
785 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
786 root 1.493
787 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
788 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
789     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
790     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
791 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
792     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
793     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
794 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
795     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
796 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
797 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
798     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
799 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
800 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
801 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
802 sf-exg 1.1035 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
803 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
804 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
805 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
806 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
807     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
808     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
809 root 1.474
810 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
811 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
812     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
813     Chuck Blake.
814 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
815     obscure the mouse cursor position.
816 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
817 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
818     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
819 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
820     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
821 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
822     transfer efficiency.
823 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
824 root 1.463
825 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
826 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
827 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
828     while the user still drags.
829 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
830     not drawn correctly.
831 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
832     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
833 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
834     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
835 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
836     stripping whitespace.
837 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
838 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
839 root 1.452
840 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
841 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
842 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
843 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
844     (also a bug in original rxvt).
845 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
846     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
847     partial patch).
848     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
849     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
850 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
851 sf-exg 1.1035 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
852 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
853 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
854 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
855 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
856 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
857     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
858     - slight overall speed improvements.
859     - considerably improved code clarity.
860 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
861     buffer.
862 root 1.437
863 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
864 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
865     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
866     (matters only for rxvtd).
867 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
868 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
869 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
870 root 1.431
871 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
872 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
873 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
874     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
875     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
876     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
877     percentage by 100-percentage.
878     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
879     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
880     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
881     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
882     windows.
883     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
884     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
885     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
886     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
887     - replaced INSTALL file.
888    
889 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
890 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
891 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
892     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
893     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
894     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
895     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
896     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
897 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
898 root 1.411
899 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
900 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
901     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
902     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
903 sf-exg 1.1035 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
904 root 1.430 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
905     Affects display in iso14755 box.
906     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
907     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
908     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
909     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
910     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
911     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
912     cutting pieces off of characters.
913     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
914     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
915     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
916     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
917     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
918     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
919     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
920 root 1.399
921 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
922 sf-exg 1.1035 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
923 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
924     meaning of the given key.
925     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
926     (patch by Martin Edlman).
927 root 1.394
928 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
929     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
930 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
931     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
932     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
933 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
934 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
935 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
936 root 1.433 to disable it.
937 root 1.393
938 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
939     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
940 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
941     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
942     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
943     with modifiers.
944 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
945     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
946 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
947     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
948     and clear the scrollback buffer.
949 root 1.389
950 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
951 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
952 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
953     a command.
954     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
955     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
956     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
957     in Perl/Gtk2.
958     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
959     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
960 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
961 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
962     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
963     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
964 sf-exg 1.1035 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
965 root 1.430 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
966     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
967     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
968     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
969     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
970     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
971     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
972     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
973 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
974 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
975     rxvt-unicode).
976     - get rid of the intpro files.
977 root 1.373
978 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
979 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
980 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
981     (Kuang-che Wu).
982     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
983     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
984     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
985     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
986     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
987     along with other, similar, cleanups.
988     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
989     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
990     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
991     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
992     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
993     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
994 root 1.361
995 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
996     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
997 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
998     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
999     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1000     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1001     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1002     his patience and time in tracking this down).
1003     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1004     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1005 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1006 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1007     by Joël Riou).
1008     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1009     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1010     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1011     - shaved off some code segment size.
1012     - various code cleanups.
1013     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1014 root 1.360
1015 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1016 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1017     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1018 sf-exg 1.1035 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1019 root 1.430 -pixmap is active.
1020     - new option/resource imFont.
1021     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1022     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1023     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1024     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1025     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1026     (WU Fengguang).
1027     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1028     examples (rxvt.1).
1029     - removed src/test completely.
1030     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.

1032 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1033 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1034     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1035     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1036     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1037     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.

1039     resulting in segfaults.
1040     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1041     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1042     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1043     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1044     (Mikael Magnusson).
1045     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1046     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1047     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1048     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1049     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1050     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1051     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1052     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1053     on frills, not on it's own configure option).

1055     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

1076     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1077     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child

1105     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1106     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1107     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1160     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1161     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1162     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1163     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1164     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1165     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1166     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1167     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1168     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1169     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1170     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1171     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1172     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1189 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported

1191     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1192     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1193     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1194     screen updates with curses.
1195     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1196     by spaces.
1197     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1198     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1199     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1200     is just too slow for this to work.
1201     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1202     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1203     implement. use --enable-styles.
1204     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1205     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1206     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1207     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1208     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1209     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1210 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1211 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1212     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1213     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1214     (only for non-bold right now).
1215     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1216     - better default font size and style.
1217     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1218     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1219     single character against the base font extents and will only
1220     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1221     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1222     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1223     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1224     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1225     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1226     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1227     screen height.
1228     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1229     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1230     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1231     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1232     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1233     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1234     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1235     - removed OSC 702.

1244 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough

1246     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1247     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1248     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1249     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1250 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1251 root 1.430 close).
1252     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1253     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1259     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1260     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1261     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1262     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1263     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1264     works.

1272     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1273     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1300     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1301     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1302     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1303     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1304     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1305     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1306     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1307     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1308     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1309     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which

1311     - more complete compile options help output.
1312     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1313     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1403     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1404     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1405     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1406     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1407 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1408 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1409     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1410 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1411 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1412 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1413     overwritten (as is common).
1414     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1415     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1416 pcg 1.108
1417     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1418     - minor doc corrections.
1419 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1420     avoid clashes with xterm.
1421     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1422     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1423     window colour when arg is "?".
1424     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1425     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1426     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1427     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1428     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1429     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1430     (FRILLS).
1431     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1432     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1433     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1434     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1435 pcg 1.108
1436 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1437     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1438 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1439     - more informative error messages.
1440     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1441     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1442     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1443     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1444     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1445 pcg 1.91
1446 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1447     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1448     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1449 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1450     - removed old selection style completely.
1451     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1452     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1453     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1454     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1455     be used from within rxvt.
1456     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1457 pcg 1.83
1458 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1459     - code cleanup release.
1460     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1461 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1462     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1463     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1464     all files.
1465     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1466 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1467 pcg 1.74
1468 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1469 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1470     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1471     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1472     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1473     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1474 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1475 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1476     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1477     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1478     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1479     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1480     --disable-xgetdefault.
1481     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1482     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1483     unicode character.
1484 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1485 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1486 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1487 pcg 1.69
1488 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1489 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1490 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1491     settings.
1492     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1493     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1494     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1495     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1496     mbrtowc.
1497     - more robust encoding name matching.
1498     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1499     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1500     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1501     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1502     resources and docs.
1503     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1504 pcg 1.58
1505 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1506     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.

1509     - viscii enabled by default
1510     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1511 pcg 1.50
1512     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1513     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1514    
1515 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1516 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1517 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1518     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1519     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1520     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1521     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1522     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1523     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1524     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1525     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1526     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1527     reported by joel reed.
1528     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1529     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1530     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1531     being selected.
1532     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1533     - removed greek support.
1534     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1535     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1536     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1537 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1538 root 1.430 contributed.
1539     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1540     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1541     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1542     - many other minor bugfixes.
1543 pcg 1.26
1544 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1545 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1546 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1547 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1548     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1549     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1550 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1551     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1552     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1553     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1554 pcg 1.19
1555 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1556     - further cleanups.
1557 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1558     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1559     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1560     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1561     please drop me a note.
1562 pcg 1.16
1563 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1564 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1565 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1566     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1567     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1568     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1569     was never implemented
1570 pcg 1.13
1571 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1572 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1573 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1574     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1575     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1576     reported by fefe
1577     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1578     Markus Demleitner
1579     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1580     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1581     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1582 pcg 1.7
1583 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1584 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1585 root 1.430 - small font tunings
1586 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1587 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1588 pcg 1.1
1589 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1590 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
