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-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
43 sf-exg 1.1034
44 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
45 sf-exg 1.1029 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
46     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
47     support the UTF8_STRING target.
48 root 1.1028 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
49     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
50     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
51     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
52 sf-exg 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
53 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
54     core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
55 root 1.1031 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
56 root 1.1032 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
57     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
58 sf-exg 1.1026
59 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
60 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
61 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
62     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
63 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
64     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
65     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
67     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
68 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
69     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
70 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
71     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
72 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
73 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
74     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
75     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
76 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
77 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
78 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
79     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
80 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
81     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
82     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
83 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
84     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
85     with gcc.
86 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
87 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
88 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
89 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
90 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
91     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
92 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
93     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
95 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
96 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
97 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
98 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
99 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
100 root 1.988
101 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
102 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
103 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
104     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
106     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
107 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
108 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
109     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
110 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
111 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
112     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
113     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
114     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
115 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
116 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
117     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
118 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
119     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
120 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
121 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
122 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
123 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
124     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
125     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
127     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
128     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
129     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
131     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132     - fix build on XFree86.
133 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
134 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
135 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
136     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
137 sf-exg 1.975
138 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
139     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
140     - the bestest release ever.
141 sf-exg 1.970 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
142 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
144 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
147 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
148     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
149     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
150 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
151 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
152 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
153     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
154 root 1.947 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
155     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
156     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
157     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
158     characters other than first one in the selected cell
159     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
160     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
161     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
162     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
163     (found by Mikachu).
164 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
165     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
166 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
167 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
169 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
170 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
171 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
172 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
173     for 256 colours.
174 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
175 sf-exg 1.956 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
176 sf-exg 1.967 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
177 root 1.965 88*88 possible pairs.
178 root 1.942 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
179     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
180 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
181     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
182 root 1.966 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
183 root 1.962 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
184 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
185     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
186     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
187 sf-exg 1.959 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
188 root 1.948 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
189     backspacekey was given.
190 root 1.949 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
191 root 1.951 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
192     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
193 root 1.964 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.

195 root 1.969 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
196 sf-exg 1.930
197 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
198 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
199     in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
200 root 1.912 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
201     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
202     Mikachu).
203 root 1.918 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
204 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
205     systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
206 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
207     (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
208 root 1.911 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
209     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
210 root 1.912 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
211 root 1.913 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
212     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
213     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
214     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
215 root 1.914 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
216 root 1.913 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
217 root 1.914 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes

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

243 root 1.901 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
244 root 1.907 - updates libev to 3.48.
245 root 1.886 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
246     when a window was closed.
247 root 1.887 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
248     scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
249 root 1.888 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
250     when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
251 root 1.889 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
252     when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
253     makes copy&paste work.
254 root 1.879 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
255     no longer apply.
256 root 1.881 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
257     - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
258 root 1.878 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.

263     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
264 root 1.882 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
265     the only known workaround.
266 root 1.886 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).

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

289 root 1.870 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
290     - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
291 root 1.871 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
292 root 1.865 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
293 root 1.924 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
294 root 1.862 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
295 root 1.861 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
296     after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
297     issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
298     sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
299 root 1.871 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
300     broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
301     help working window managers as well.
302     - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
303 root 1.869 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
304 root 1.857 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
305 root 1.872 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
306     from the toplevel window to the children.
307 root 1.859 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
308 root 1.871 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
309 root 1.867 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
310 root 1.871 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
311 root 1.861
312 root 1.853 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
313     - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
314 ayin 1.852 - fix build with !xft.
315 root 1.855 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).

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

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

449 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
450 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).

516 root 1.691
517 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
518 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
519     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
520     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
521     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
522     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
523 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
524 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
525 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
526     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
527 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
528 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
529     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
530     uppercase character.
531 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
532 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
533     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
534 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
535     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
536 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
537     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
538 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
539     generic osc_seq.
540 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
541     were invoked recursively.
542 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
543     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
544 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
545 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
546     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
547     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
548 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
549 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
550 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
551 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
552     follow C++ closely enough.
553 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
554 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
555 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
556     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
557 root 1.661
558 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
559 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
560 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
561     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
562 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
563 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
564 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
565 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
566     refresh bugs please.
567 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
568 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
569     improve size hint setting.
570 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
571     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
572     to correctly position their preedit window.
573 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
574     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
575 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
576 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
577     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
578 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
579     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
580 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
581 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
582 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
583     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
584     (reported by Paco-Paco).
585 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
586     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
587 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
588 root 1.645
589 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
590 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
591 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
592     resource value.
593 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
594 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
595 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
596     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
597     (initial patch by hednod).
598 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
599     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
600 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
601     the benefit of automove-background.
602 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
603 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
604 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
605 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
606     __linux__.
607 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
608     the colour components.
609 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.

612     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
613 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
614 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.

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

677 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
678     needs the careful rendering mode.
679     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
680     too wide and needs careful mode.
681 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
682 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
683 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
684     atoms only once per display.
685 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
686 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
687     xterm.
688 root 1.570
689 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
690 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
691     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
692 sf-exg 1.1035 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
693 root 1.563 ctrl-shift-672c).
694 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
695 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
696 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
697     the primary screen.
698 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
699     could lead to an assertion failure.
700 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
701 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
702     via mouse clicks.
703 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
704 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
705 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
706     in non-synthetic events.
707 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
708 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
709     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
710 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
711     whole urxvt[d] process.
712     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
713     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
714     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
715 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
716 root 1.552
717 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
718 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
719     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
720     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
721     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
722     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
723     special privileges.
724     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
725     itself.
726 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
727     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
728     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
729 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
730     similar stuff.
731 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
732 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
733     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
734 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
735     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
736     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
737     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
738     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
739     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
740 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
741     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
742 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
743 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
744 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
745 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
746     to set the window title.
747     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
748     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
749     at the wrong time.
750 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
751     anymore.
752 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
753 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
754 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
755 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
756     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
757 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
758 root 1.518
759 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
760 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
761 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
762 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
763     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
764 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
765     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
766 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
767     and much much more.
768 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
769 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
770 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
771 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
772     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
773 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
774 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
775 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
776 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
777 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
778 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
779 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
780 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
781 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
782     compatible, and not really small either.
783     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
784     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
785 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
786     to crashes.
787 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
788     colours.
789 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
790 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
791 root 1.493
792 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
793 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
794     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
795     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
796 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
797     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
798     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
799 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
800     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
801 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
802 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
803     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
804 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
805 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
806 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
807 sf-exg 1.1035 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
808 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
809 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
810 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
811 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
812     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
813     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
814 root 1.474
815 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
816 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
817     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
818     Chuck Blake.
819 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
820     obscure the mouse cursor position.
821 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
822 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
823     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
824 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
825     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
826 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
827     transfer efficiency.
828 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
829 root 1.463
830 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
831 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
832 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
833     while the user still drags.
834 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
835     not drawn correctly.
836 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
837     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
838 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
839     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
840 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
841     stripping whitespace.
842 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
843 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
844 root 1.452
845 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
846 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
847 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
848 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
849     (also a bug in original rxvt).
850 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
851     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
852     partial patch).
853     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
854     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
855 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
856 sf-exg 1.1035 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
857 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
858 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
859 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
860 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
861 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
862     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
863     - slight overall speed improvements.
864     - considerably improved code clarity.
865 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
866     buffer.
867 root 1.437
868 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
869 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
870     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
871     (matters only for rxvtd).
872 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
873 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
874 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
875 root 1.431
876 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
877 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
878 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
879     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
880     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
881     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
882     percentage by 100-percentage.
883     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
884     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
885     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
886     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
887     windows.
888     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
889     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
890     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
891     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
892     - replaced INSTALL file.
893    
894 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
895 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
896 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
897     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
898     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
899     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
900     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
901     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
902 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
903 root 1.411
904 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
905 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
906     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
907     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
908 sf-exg 1.1035 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
909 root 1.430 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
910     Affects display in iso14755 box.
911     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
912     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
913     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
914     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
915     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
916     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
917     cutting pieces off of characters.
918     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
919     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
920     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
921     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
922     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
923     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
924     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
925 root 1.399
926 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
927 sf-exg 1.1035 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
928 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
929     meaning of the given key.
930     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
931     (patch by Martin Edlman).
932 root 1.394
933 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
934     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
935 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
936     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
937     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
938 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
939 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
940 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
941 root 1.433 to disable it.
942 root 1.393
943 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
944     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
945 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
946     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
947     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
948     with modifiers.
949 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
950     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
951 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
952     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
953     and clear the scrollback buffer.
954 root 1.389
955 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
956 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
957 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
958     a command.
959     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
960     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
961     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
962     in Perl/Gtk2.
963     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
964     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
965 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
966 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
967     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
968     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
969 sf-exg 1.1035 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
970 root 1.430 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
971     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
972     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
973     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
974     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
975     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
976     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
977     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
978 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
979 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
980     rxvt-unicode).
981     - get rid of the intpro files.
982 root 1.373
983 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
984 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
985 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
986     (Kuang-che Wu).
987     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
988     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
989     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
990     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
991     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
992     along with other, similar, cleanups.
993     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
994     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
995     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
996     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
997     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
998     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
999 root 1.361
1000 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1001     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1002 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1003     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1004     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1005     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1006     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1007     his patience and time in tracking this down).
1008     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1009     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1010 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1011 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1012     by Joël Riou).
1013     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1014     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1015     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1016     - shaved off some code segment size.
1017     - various code cleanups.
1018     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1019 root 1.360
1020 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1021 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1022     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1023 sf-exg 1.1035 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1024 root 1.430 -pixmap is active.
1025     - new option/resource imFont.
1026     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1027     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1028     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1029     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1030     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1031     (WU Fengguang).
1032     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1033     examples (rxvt.1).
1034     - removed src/test completely.

1038 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1039     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1040     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1041     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1042     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1043     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1044     resulting in segfaults.
1045     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1046     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1047     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1048     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1049     (Mikael Magnusson).
1050     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1051     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1052     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1053     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1054     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1055     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1056     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1057     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1058     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1059     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1060     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1061     - initialize the locale much earlier.
1062     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.

1066 root 1.430 black on initial startup.
1067     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1068     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1069 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1070 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1071     additional multimedia keys.
1072     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1073     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.

1076 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1077 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1078     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1079     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1080     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1081     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1082     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1083     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1084     ignored.
1085     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1086     instead.
1087     - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1088     (reported by hednod).
1089     - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1090     - fix atom name enumeration.

1094 root 1.430 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1095     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1096     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1097     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.

1100 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1101 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1102     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1103     titles etc.
1104     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1105     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1106     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1107     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1108     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1109     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1110     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1111     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1112     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1113     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1114     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1115     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1116     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1117     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.

1121     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1122     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1123     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them

1126     now, too.

1130 root 1.430 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1131     on high-latency networks.
1132     - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1133     in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1134     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1135     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1136     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1137     by Gunnar Ritter.
1138     - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1139     or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.

1144 root 1.263 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1145 root 1.430 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).

1154 root 1.430 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1155     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1156     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1157     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1158     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1159     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1160     ... terminated by a fix.
1161     - new supported preeeditType "None".
1162     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1163     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1164     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1165     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1166     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1167     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1168     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1169     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1170     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1171     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1172     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1173     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1174     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1175     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1176     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1177     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1178     in tracking this down.
1179     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1180     make install) with the correct program name and other info.

1189     installed if tic is available.
1190     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1191     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1192     - removed README.unicode.
1193     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1194 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1195 root 1.430 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1196     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1197     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1198     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1199     screen updates with curses.
1200     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1201     by spaces.
1202     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1203     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1204     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1205     is just too slow for this to work.
1206     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1207     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1208     implement. use --enable-styles.
1209     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1210     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1211     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1212     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1213     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1214     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1215 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1216 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1217     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1218     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1219     (only for non-bold right now).
1220     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1221     - better default font size and style.
1222     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1223     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1224     single character against the base font extents and will only
1225     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1226     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1227     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1228     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1229     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1230     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1231     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1232     screen height.
1233     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1234     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1235     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1236     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1237     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1238     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1239     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1240     - removed OSC 702.
1241     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1242     confused by it rather than using it.
1243 root 1.168
1244 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1245     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1246 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1247     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1248 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1249 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1250     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1251     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1252     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1253     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1254     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1255 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1256 root 1.430 close).
1257     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1258     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1259     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1260     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1261 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1262 root 1.430 could not be created.
1263     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1264     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1265     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1266     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1267     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1268     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1269     works.
1270 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1271 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
1272     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1273     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1274     character is a sensible operation.
1275     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1276     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1277     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1278     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1279     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1280     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1281     with selections).

1284 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1285     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1286     needs access to a local shell window).
1287     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1288     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1289     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1290     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1291     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1292     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1293     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1294     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1295     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1296     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1297     added there.
1298     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1299     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1300 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1301 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1302     instead of being ignored.
1303     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1304     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1305     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1306     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1307     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1308     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1309     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1310     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1311     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1312     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1313     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1314     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1315     needs testing anyways.
1316     - more complete compile options help output.
1317     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1318     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1319     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1320     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1321     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>

1401     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1402 root 1.430 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1403     - fix some minor bugs.
1404 pcg 1.110
1405 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1406 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1407 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1408     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1409     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1410     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1411     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1412 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1413 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1414     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1415 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1416 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1417 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1418     overwritten (as is common).
1419     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1420     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1421 pcg 1.108
1422     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1423     - minor doc corrections.
1424 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1425     avoid clashes with xterm.
1426     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1427     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1428     window colour when arg is "?".
1429     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1430     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1431     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1432     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1433     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1434     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1435     (FRILLS).
1436     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1437     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1438     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1439     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1440 pcg 1.108
1441 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1442     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1443 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1444     - more informative error messages.
1445     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1446     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1447     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1448     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1449     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1450 pcg 1.91
1451 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1452     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1453     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1454 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1455     - removed old selection style completely.
1456     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1457     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1458     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1459     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1460     be used from within rxvt.
1461     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1462 pcg 1.83
1463 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1464     - code cleanup release.
1465     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1466 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1467     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1468     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1469     all files.
1470     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1471 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1472 pcg 1.74
1473 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1474 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1475     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1476     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1477     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1478     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1479 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1480 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1481     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1482     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1483     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1484     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1485     --disable-xgetdefault.
1486     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1487     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1488     unicode character.
1489 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1490 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1491 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1492 pcg 1.69
1493 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1494 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1495 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1496     settings.
1497     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1498     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1499     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1500     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1501     mbrtowc.
1502     - more robust encoding name matching.
1503     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1504     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1505     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1506     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1507     resources and docs.
1508     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1509 pcg 1.58
1510 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1511     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1512 root 1.430 - some doc cleanup
1513     - configure cleanup
1514     - viscii enabled by default
1515     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1516 pcg 1.50
1517     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1518     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1519    
1520 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1521 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1522 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1523     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1524     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1525     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1526     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1527     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1528     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1529     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1530     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1531     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1532     reported by joel reed.
1533     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1534     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1535     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1536     being selected.
1537     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1538     - removed greek support.
1539     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1540     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1541     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1542 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1543 root 1.430 contributed.
1544     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1545     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1546     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1547     - many other minor bugfixes.
1548 pcg 1.26
1549 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1550 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1551 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1552 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1553     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1554     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1555 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1556     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1557     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1558     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1559 pcg 1.19
1560 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1561     - further cleanups.
1562 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1563     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1564     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1565     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1566     please drop me a note.
1567 pcg 1.16
1568 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1569 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1570 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1571     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1572     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1573     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1574     was never implemented
1575 pcg 1.13
1576 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1577 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1578 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1579     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1580     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1581     reported by fefe
1582     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1583     Markus Demleitner
1584     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1585     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1586     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1587 pcg 1.7
1588 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1589 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1590 root 1.430 - small font tunings
1591 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1592 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1593 pcg 1.1
1594 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1595 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
