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 1.1040 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
33     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
34     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
35     the cell size.
36 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
37     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
38     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 root 1.1036 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
40 sf-exg 1.1037 - Fix compilation on systems with bsd style utmp and no utmpx,
41     such as openbsd.
42 sf-exg 1.1034
43 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
44 sf-exg 1.1029 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
45     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
46     support the UTF8_STRING target.
47 root 1.1028 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
48     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
49     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
50     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 sf-exg 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
52 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
53     core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
54 root 1.1031 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
55 root 1.1032 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
56     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
57 sf-exg 1.1026
58 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
59 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
60 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
61     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
62 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
63     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
64     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
65 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
66     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
67 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
68     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
69 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
70     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
71 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
72 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
73     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
74     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
75 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
76 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
77 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
78     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
79 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
80     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
81     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
83     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
84     with gcc.
85 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
86 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
87 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
88 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
89 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
90     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
91 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
92     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
94 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
95 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
96 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
97 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
98 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
99 root 1.988
100 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
101 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
102 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
103     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
105     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
106 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
107 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
108     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
109 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
110 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
111     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
112     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
113     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
114 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
115 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
116     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
117 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
118     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
119 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
120 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
121 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
122 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
123     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
124     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
126     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
127     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
128     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
130     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
131     - fix build on XFree86.
132 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
133 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
134 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
135     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
136 sf-exg 1.975
137 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
138     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
139     - the bestest release ever.
140 sf-exg 1.970 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
141 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
142     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
144 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
147     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
148     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
149 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
150 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
151 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
152     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
153 root 1.947 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
154     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
155     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
156     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
157     characters other than first one in the selected cell
158     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
159     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
160     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
161     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
162     (found by Mikachu).
163 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
164     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
165 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
166 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
168 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
169 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
170 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
171 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
172     for 256 colours.
173 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).

175 sf-exg 1.967 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
176 root 1.965 88*88 possible pairs.
177 root 1.942 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
178     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
179 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
180     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181 root 1.966 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
182 root 1.962 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
183 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
184     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
185     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
186 sf-exg 1.959 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
187 root 1.948 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
188     backspacekey was given.
189 root 1.949 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
190 root 1.951 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
191     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
192 root 1.964 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
193 root 1.974 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
194 root 1.969 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
195 sf-exg 1.930
196 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
197 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
198     in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
199 root 1.912 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
200     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
201     Mikachu).
202 root 1.918 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
203 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
204     systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
205 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
206     (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
207 root 1.911 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
208     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209 root 1.912 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
210 root 1.913 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
211     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
212     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
213     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
214 root 1.914 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
215 root 1.913 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
216 root 1.914 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes

225 root 1.923 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
226 root 1.921 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
227     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
228     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
229     in need of fixing. go figure.

242 root 1.901 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
243 root 1.907 - updates libev to 3.48.
244 root 1.886 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
245     when a window was closed.
246 root 1.887 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside

248 root 1.888 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
249     when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
250 root 1.889 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
251     when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
252     makes copy&paste work.
253 root 1.879 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
254     no longer apply.
255 root 1.881 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
256     - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
257 root 1.878 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.

261 root 1.883 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
262     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
263 root 1.882 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
264     the only known workaround.
265 root 1.886 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).

267     to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
268 sf-exg 1.932 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
269 root 1.901 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
270     disabling size hints.
271 root 1.891 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
272     and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
273     as mouse reporting.
274     - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
275     tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
276 root 1.895 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
277 root 1.898 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.

281 root 1.899 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
282 root 1.900 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
283     overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
284 root 1.904 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
285     (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
286 root 1.875

288 root 1.870 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
289     - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
290 root 1.871 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
291 root 1.865 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
292 root 1.924 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.

294 root 1.861 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
295     after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
296     issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
297     sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
298 root 1.871 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
299     broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
300     help working window managers as well.
301     - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
302 root 1.869 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
303 root 1.857 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
304 root 1.872 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
305     from the toplevel window to the children.
306 root 1.859 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
307 root 1.871 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
308 root 1.867 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
309 root 1.871 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
310 root 1.861
311 root 1.853 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
312     - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
313 ayin 1.852 - fix build with !xft.
314 root 1.855 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).

316 root 1.851 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
317 root 1.848 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
318     with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
319     received" problem, again :)
320 root 1.851 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
321 root 1.848
322 root 1.847 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
323 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
324     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
325 root 1.905 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
326 root 1.834 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
327 root 1.840 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
328     - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
329 root 1.839 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
330 root 1.844 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
331     work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha

442 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg

448 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
449 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
450     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.

516 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
517 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
518     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
519     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
520     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
521     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
522 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
523 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
524 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
525     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
526 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
527 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
528     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
529     uppercase character.

531 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
532     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
533 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
534     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
535 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
536     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
537 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
538     generic osc_seq.
539 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
540     were invoked recursively.
541 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the

543 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
544 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
545     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
546     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
547 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
548 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
549 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
550 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
551     follow C++ closely enough.
552 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
553 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
554 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
555     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
556 root 1.661
557 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
558 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
559 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
560     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
561 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
562 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
563 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
564 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
565     refresh bugs please.
566 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
567 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
568     improve size hint setting.
569 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
570     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
571     to correctly position their preedit window.
572 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
573     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
574 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
575 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
576     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
577 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
578     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
579 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
580 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
581 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
582     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
583     (reported by Paco-Paco).
584 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
585     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
586 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
587 root 1.645
588 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
589 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
590 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
591     resource value.
592 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
593 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
594 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
595     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
596     (initial patch by hednod).
597 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
598     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
599 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
600     the benefit of automove-background.
601 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
602 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
603 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
604 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
605     __linux__.
606 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
607     the colour components.
608 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.

615 root 1.617
616 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
617 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
618 ayin 1.767 detection:
619 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
620     - overlap detection was improved.
621     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
622     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
623     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
624     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
625     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
626     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
627     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
628     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
629 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
630     broken.
631     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
632 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
633     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
634 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
635 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
636 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
637 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
638 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
639     an "[alpha]" prefix.
640 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
641     transparent. Long Live Xft!
642     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
643     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
644 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
645     on a pseudocolor screen.
646 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
647     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).

678     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
679     too wide and needs careful mode.
680 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
681 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
682 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
683     atoms only once per display.
684 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
685 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with

688 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
689 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
690     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
691 sf-exg 1.1035 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
692 root 1.563 ctrl-shift-672c).
693 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
694 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
695 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
696     the primary screen.
697 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
698     could lead to an assertion failure.
699 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
700 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
701     via mouse clicks.
702 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
703 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
704 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
705     in non-synthetic events.
706 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
707 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
708     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
709 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
710     whole urxvt[d] process.
711     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
712     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
713     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
714 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
715 root 1.552
716 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
717 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
718     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
719     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
720     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
721     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
722     special privileges.
723     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
724     itself.
725 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
726     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
727     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
728 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
729     similar stuff.
730 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
731 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
732     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
733 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
734     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
735     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
736     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
737     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
738     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
739 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
740     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
741 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
742 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
743 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
744 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
745     to set the window title.
746     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
747     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
748     at the wrong time.
749 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
750     anymore.
751 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
752 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
753 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
754 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
755     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
756 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
757 root 1.518
758 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
759 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
760 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
761 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
762     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
763 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
764     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
765 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
766     and much much more.
767 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
768 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
769 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
770 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
771     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
772 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
773 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
774 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
775 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
776 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
777 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
778 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
779 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
780 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
781     compatible, and not really small either.
782     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
783     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
784 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
785     to crashes.
786 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
787     colours.
788 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.

790 root 1.493
791 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
792 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
793     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
794     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
795 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
796     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
797     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
798 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
799     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
800 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
801 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
802     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
803 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
804 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
805 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
806 sf-exg 1.1035 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
807 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
808 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
809 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
810 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
811     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
812     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
813 root 1.474
814 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
815 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
816     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
817     Chuck Blake.
818 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
819     obscure the mouse cursor position.
820 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
821 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
822     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
823 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
824     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
825 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
826     transfer efficiency.
827 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
828 root 1.463
829 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
830 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
831 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
832     while the user still drags.
833 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
834     not drawn correctly.
835 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
836     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
837 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
838     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
839 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
840     stripping whitespace.
841 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
842 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
843 root 1.452
844 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
845 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
846 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
847 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
848     (also a bug in original rxvt).
849 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
850     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
851     partial patch).
852     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
853     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
854 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
855 sf-exg 1.1035 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
856 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
857 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
858 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
859 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
860 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
861     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
862     - slight overall speed improvements.
863     - considerably improved code clarity.
864 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
865     buffer.
866 root 1.437
867 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
868 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
869     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
870     (matters only for rxvtd).
871 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
872 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
873 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
874 root 1.431
875 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
876 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
877 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
878     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
879     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
880     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
881     percentage by 100-percentage.
882     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
883     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
884     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
885     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
886     windows.
887     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
888     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
889     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
890     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
891     - replaced INSTALL file.
892    
893 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
894 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
895 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
896     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
897     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
898     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
899     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
900     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
901 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
902 root 1.411
903 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
904 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
905     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
906     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
907 sf-exg 1.1035 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
908 root 1.430 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
909     Affects display in iso14755 box.
910     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
911     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
912     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
913     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
914     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
915     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
916     cutting pieces off of characters.
917     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
918     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
919     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
920     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
921     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
922     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
923     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
924 root 1.399
925 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
926 sf-exg 1.1035 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
927 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
928     meaning of the given key.
929     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
930     (patch by Martin Edlman).
931 root 1.394
932 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
933     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
934 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
935     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
936     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
937 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
938 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
939 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
940 root 1.433 to disable it.
941 root 1.393
942 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
943     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
944 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
945     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
946     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
947     with modifiers.
948 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
949     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
950 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
951     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
952     and clear the scrollback buffer.
953 root 1.389
954 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
955 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
956 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
957     a command.
958     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
959     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
960     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
961     in Perl/Gtk2.
962     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
963     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
964 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
965 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
966     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
967     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
968 sf-exg 1.1035 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
969 root 1.430 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
970     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
971     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
972     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
973     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
974     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
975     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
976     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
977 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
978 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
979     rxvt-unicode).
980     - get rid of the intpro files.
981 root 1.373
982 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
983 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
984 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
985     (Kuang-che Wu).
986     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
987     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
988     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
989     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
990     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
991     along with other, similar, cleanups.
992     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
993     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
994     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
995     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
996     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
997     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
998 root 1.361
999 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1000     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1001 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1002     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1003     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1004     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1005     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1006     his patience and time in tracking this down).
1007     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1008     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1009 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1010 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1011     by Joël Riou).
1012     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1013     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1014     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1015     - shaved off some code segment size.
1016     - various code cleanups.
1017     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1018 root 1.360
1019 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1020 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in

1022 sf-exg 1.1035 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1023 root 1.430 -pixmap is active.
1024     - new option/resource imFont.
1025     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.

1028     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1029     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1030     (WU Fengguang).
1031     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym

1039     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1040     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1041     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1042     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1043     resulting in segfaults.
1044     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1045     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1046     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1047     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1048     (Mikael Magnusson).
1049     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1050     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1051     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1052     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1053     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1054     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1055     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1056     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1057     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1058     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1059     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

1079     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1080     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1081     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1082     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1083     ignored.

1108     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1109     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1110     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1111     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1113     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1164     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1165     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1166     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1167     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1168     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1169     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1170     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1171     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1172     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1173     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1174     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1175     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1176     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1177     in tracking this down.

1193 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported

1195     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1196     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1197     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1198     screen updates with curses.
1199     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1200     by spaces.
1201     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1202     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1203     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1204     is just too slow for this to work.
1205     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1206     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1207     implement. use --enable-styles.
1208     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1209     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1210     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1211     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1212     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1213     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1214 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1215 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1216     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1217     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1218     (only for non-bold right now).
1219     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1220     - better default font size and style.
1221     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1222     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1223     single character against the base font extents and will only
1224     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1225     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1226     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1227     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1228     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1229     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1230     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1231     screen height.
1232     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1233     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1234     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1235     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1236     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1237     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1238     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1239     - removed OSC 702.

1248 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1249     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1250     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1251     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1252     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1253     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1254 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1255 root 1.430 close).
1256     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1257     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1260 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context

1262     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1263     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1264     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1265     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1266     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1267     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1268     works.

1274     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1275     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1276     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1277     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1278     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1289     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1290     a little window or so) would be welcome.

1302     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1303     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1304     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1305     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1306     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1307     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1308     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1309     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1310     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1311     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1312     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1313     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which

1315     - more complete compile options help output.
1316     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1317     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1404 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1405 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1406 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1407     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1408     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1409     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1410     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1411 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1412 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1413     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1414 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1415 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1416 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1417     overwritten (as is common).
1418     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1419     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1420 pcg 1.108
1421     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1422     - minor doc corrections.
1423 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1424     avoid clashes with xterm.
1425     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1426     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1427     window colour when arg is "?".
1428     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1429     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1430     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1431     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1432     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1433     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1434     (FRILLS).
1435     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1436     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1437     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1438     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1439 pcg 1.108
1440 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1441     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1442 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1443     - more informative error messages.
1444     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1445     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1446     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1447     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1448     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1449 pcg 1.91
1450 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1451     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1452     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1453 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1454     - removed old selection style completely.
1455     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1456     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1457     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1458     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1459     be used from within rxvt.
1460     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1461 pcg 1.83
1462 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1463     - code cleanup release.
1464     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1465 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1466     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1467     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1468     all files.
1469     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1470 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1471 pcg 1.74
1472 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1473 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1474     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1475     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1476     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1477     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1478 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1479 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1480     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1481     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1482     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1483     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1484     --disable-xgetdefault.
1485     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1486     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1487     unicode character.
1488 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1489 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1490 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1491 pcg 1.69
1492 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1493 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1494 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1495     settings.
1496     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1497     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1498     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1499     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1500     mbrtowc.
1501     - more robust encoding name matching.
1502     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1503     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1504     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1505     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1506     resources and docs.
1507     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1508 pcg 1.58
1509 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1510     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1511 root 1.430 - some doc cleanup
1512     - configure cleanup
1513     - viscii enabled by default
1514     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1515 pcg 1.50
1516     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1517     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1518    
1519 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1520 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1521 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1522     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1523     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1524     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1525     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1526     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1527     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1528     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1529     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1530     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1531     reported by joel reed.
1532     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1533     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1534     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1535     being selected.
1536     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1537     - removed greek support.
1538     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1539     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1540     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1541 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1542 root 1.430 contributed.
1543     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1544     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1545     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1546     - many other minor bugfixes.
1547 pcg 1.26
1548 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1549 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1550 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1551 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1552     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1553     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1554 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1555     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1556     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1557     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1558 pcg 1.19
1559 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1560     - further cleanups.
1561 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1562     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1563     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1564     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1565     please drop me a note.
1566 pcg 1.16
1567 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1568 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1569 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1570     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1571     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1572     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1573     was never implemented
1574 pcg 1.13
1575 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1576 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1577 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1578     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1579     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1580     reported by fefe
1581     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1582     Markus Demleitner
1583     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1584     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1585     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1586 pcg 1.7
1587 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1588 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1589 root 1.430 - small font tunings
1590 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1591 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1592 pcg 1.1
1593 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1594 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
