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 sf-exg 1.1051 TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
23 root 1.933
24 sf-exg 1.1052 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
25     $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
26 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
27     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
28     to disable both scaling and tiling.
29 sf-exg 1.1039 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
30 sf-exg 1.1052 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
31 sf-exg 1.1039 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
32 sf-exg 1.1052 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
33 root 1.1044 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
34     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
35     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
36 sf-exg 1.1046 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
37     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
38 sf-exg 1.1045 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
39 sf-exg 1.1043 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
40     Filardo).
41 sf-exg 1.1040 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
42     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
43     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
44     the cell size.
45 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
46     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
47     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 root 1.1036 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
49 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
50     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
51     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
52 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
53 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
54     (Bob Farrell).
55 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
56     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
57     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
58     Pohlack).
59 mikachu 1.1048 - Support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
60     Michael Stapelberg).
61 root 1.1050 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
62 sf-exg 1.1034
63 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
64 sf-exg 1.1029 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
65     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
66     support the UTF8_STRING target.
67 root 1.1028 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
68     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
69     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
70     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
71 sf-exg 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
72 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
73     core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
74 root 1.1031 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
75 root 1.1032 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
76     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
77 sf-exg 1.1026
78 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
79 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
80 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
81     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
82 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
83     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
84     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
85 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
86     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
87 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
88     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
89 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
90     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
91 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
92 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
93     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
94     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
95 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
96 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
97 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
98     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
99 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
100     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
101     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
103     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
104     with gcc.
105 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
107 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
108 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
109 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
110     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
111 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
112     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
113 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
114 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
115 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
116 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
117 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
118 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
119 root 1.988
120 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
121 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
122 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
123     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
125     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
126 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
127 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
128     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
129 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
130 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
131     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
132     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
133     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
134 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
135 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
136     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
137 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
138     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
139 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
140 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
141 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
142 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
143     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
144     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
146     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
147     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
148     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
149 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
150     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
151     - fix build on XFree86.
152 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
153 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
154 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
155     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
156 sf-exg 1.975

161 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
162     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
163 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
164 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
165 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
166 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).

173 root 1.947 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
174     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
175     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
176     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
177     characters other than first one in the selected cell
178     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
180     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
182     (found by Mikachu).
183 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
184     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
185 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
186 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
187 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
188 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
190 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
191 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
192     for 256 colours.

196 root 1.965 88*88 possible pairs.
197 root 1.942 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
198     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
199 sf-exg 1.963 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
200     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
201 root 1.966 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
202 root 1.962 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
203 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
204     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
205     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
206 sf-exg 1.959 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
207 root 1.948 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
208     backspacekey was given.
209 root 1.949 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
210 root 1.951 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking

226     (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
227 root 1.911 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
228     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
229 root 1.912 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
230 root 1.913 refresh (reported by Mikachu).

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

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

343 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
344     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
345 root 1.905 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
346 root 1.834 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
347 root 1.840 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.

354     till the first event arrives. or so.

358 root 1.832 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
359     - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
360     resets the terminal.
361 root 1.837 - scrollbar code cleanups.
362 root 1.845 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.

373 root 1.827 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).

380 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
381     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
382     effects.
383 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
384 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
385     fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
386     - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking

401     seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
402 root 1.807 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
403     especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
404     urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
405 ayin 1.808 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
406     - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

413 root 1.793 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
414     the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
415 root 1.802 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
416 root 1.800 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
417     - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
418     on (typical) 64 bit systems.
419 root 1.905 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap

437 root 1.765 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not

439 ayin 1.780 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
440 root 1.761 patch by Sasha Vasko.

448 root 1.765 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
449     - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
450 tpope 1.766 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
451 ayin 1.767 extension (tpope).
452 ayin 1.771 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
453 root 1.772 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
454 root 1.777 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
455     problems.
456 root 1.751
457 root 1.750 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
458 root 1.730 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
459 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
460     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
461 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
462 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
463     (found by Aiviru).
464 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
465     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
466     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
467     case to work around for :/
468 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
469 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
470     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
471     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
472 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
473 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
474     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
475 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
476     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
477     Paskevich).
478 root 1.744 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
479 root 1.745 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
480 root 1.746 - update libptytty.
481     - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
482 root 1.747 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
483     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
484 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
485 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
486 ayin 1.748 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of

489 ayin 1.767 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
490 root 1.730
491 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
492 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
493 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
494     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
495 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
496     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
497     Reported by Takano Akio.
498 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
499 root 1.722 reported by exg.
500 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
501 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
502 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
503 root 1.728 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
504 root 1.722
505 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
506 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
507     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
508     circumstances (reported by exg).
509 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
510     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
511 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
512     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
513 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
514     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
515 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
516     - update to libptytty-1.0.
517 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
518     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
519 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
520 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
521 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
522     bug #143985).
523 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
524 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
525     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
526 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
527 root 1.698
528 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
529     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
530 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
531 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
532     it does! :->
533 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
534 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
535 root 1.691
536 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
537 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
538     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
539     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
540     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
541     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
542 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
543 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
544 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
545     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
546 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
547 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
548     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
549     uppercase character.
550 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
551 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
552     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
553 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
554     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
555 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
556     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
557 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
558     generic osc_seq.
559 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
560     were invoked recursively.
561 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
562     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
563 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
564 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
565     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
566     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
567 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
568 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
569 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
570 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
571     follow C++ closely enough.
572 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
573 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
574 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
575     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
576 root 1.661
577 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
578 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
579 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
580     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
581 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
582 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
583 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
584 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
585     refresh bugs please.
586 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
587 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
588     improve size hint setting.
589 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
590     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
591     to correctly position their preedit window.
592 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
593     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
594 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
595 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
596     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
597 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
598     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
599 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
600 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
601 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
602     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
603     (reported by Paco-Paco).
604 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
605     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
606 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
607 root 1.645
608 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
609 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
610 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
611     resource value.
612 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
613 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
614 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
615     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
616     (initial patch by hednod).
617 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
618     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
619 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
620     the benefit of automove-background.
621 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
622 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
623 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
624 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
625     __linux__.
626 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
627     the colour components.
628 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
629     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
630 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
631     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
632 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
633 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
634 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
635 root 1.617
636 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
637 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
638 ayin 1.767 detection:
639 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
640     - overlap detection was improved.
641     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
642     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
643     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
644     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
645     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
646     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
647     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
648     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
649 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
650     broken.
651     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
652 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
653     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
654 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
655 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
656 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
657 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
658 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
659     an "[alpha]" prefix.
660 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
661     transparent. Long Live Xft!
662     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
663     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
664 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
665     on a pseudocolor screen.
666 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
667     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
668     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.

672 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
673     the debian package.
674 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
675     but much newer than the old one.
676 root 1.598
677 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
678 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
679     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
680 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
681     - fixed version options: line output.
682     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
683 root 1.593
684 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
685 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
686     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
687 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
688 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
689 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
690     selection extension.
691 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
692 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
693 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
694     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
695 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
696 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
697     needs the careful rendering mode.
698     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
699     too wide and needs careful mode.
700 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
701 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
702 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
703     atoms only once per display.
704 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
705 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
706     xterm.
707 root 1.570
708 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
709 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
710     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
711 sf-exg 1.1035 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
712 root 1.563 ctrl-shift-672c).
713 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
714 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
715 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
716     the primary screen.
717 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
718     could lead to an assertion failure.
719 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
720 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
721     via mouse clicks.
722 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
723 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
724 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
725     in non-synthetic events.
726 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
727 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
728     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
729 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
730     whole urxvt[d] process.
731     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
732     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
733     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
734 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
735 root 1.552
736 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
737 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
738     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
739     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
740     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
741     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
742     special privileges.
743     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
744     itself.
745 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
746     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
747     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
748 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
749     similar stuff.
750 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
751 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
752     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
753 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
754     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
755     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
756     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
757     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
758     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
759 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
760     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
761 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
762 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
763 root 1.914 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
764 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
765     to set the window title.
766     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
767     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
768     at the wrong time.
769 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
770     anymore.
771 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
772 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
773 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
774 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
775     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
776 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
777 root 1.518
778 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
779 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
780 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
781 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
782     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
783 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
784     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
785 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
786     and much much more.
787 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
788 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
789 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
790 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
791     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
792 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
793 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
794 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
795 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
796 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
797 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
798 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
799 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
800 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
801     compatible, and not really small either.
802     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
803     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
804 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
805     to crashes.
806 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
807     colours.
808 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
809 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
810 root 1.493
811 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
812 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
813     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
814     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
815 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
816     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
817     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
818 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
819     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
820 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
821 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
822     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
823 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
824 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
825 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
826 sf-exg 1.1035 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
827 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
828 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
829 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
830 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
831     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
832     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
833 root 1.474
834 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
835 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
836     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
837     Chuck Blake.
838 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
839     obscure the mouse cursor position.
840 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
841 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
842     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
843 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
844     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
845 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
846     transfer efficiency.
847 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
848 root 1.463
849 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
850 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
851 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
852     while the user still drags.
853 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
854     not drawn correctly.
855 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
856     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
857 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
858     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
859 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
860     stripping whitespace.
861 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
862 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
863 root 1.452
864 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
865 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
866 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
867 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
868     (also a bug in original rxvt).
869 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
870     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
871     partial patch).
872     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
873     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
874 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
875 sf-exg 1.1035 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
876 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
877 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
878 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
879 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
880 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
881     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
882     - slight overall speed improvements.
883     - considerably improved code clarity.
884 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
885     buffer.
886 root 1.437
887 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
888 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
889     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
890     (matters only for rxvtd).
891 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
892 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
893 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
894 root 1.431
895 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
896 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
897 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
898     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
899     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
900     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
901     percentage by 100-percentage.
902     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
903     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
904     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
905     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
906     windows.
907     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
908     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
909     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
910     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
911     - replaced INSTALL file.
912    
913 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
914 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
915 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
916     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
917     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
918     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
919     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
920     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
921 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
922 root 1.411
923 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
924 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
925     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
926     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
927 sf-exg 1.1035 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
928 root 1.430 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
929     Affects display in iso14755 box.
930     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
931     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
932     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
933     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
934     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
935     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
936     cutting pieces off of characters.
937     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
938     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
939     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
940     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
941     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
942     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
943     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
944 root 1.399
945 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
946 sf-exg 1.1035 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
947 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
948     meaning of the given key.
949     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
950     (patch by Martin Edlman).
951 root 1.394
952 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
953     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
954 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
955     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
956     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
957 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
958 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
959 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
960 root 1.433 to disable it.
961 root 1.393
962 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
963     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
964 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
965     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
966     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
967     with modifiers.
968 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
969     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
970 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
971     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
972     and clear the scrollback buffer.
973 root 1.389
974 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
975 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
976 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
977     a command.
978     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
979     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
980     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
981     in Perl/Gtk2.
982     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
983     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
984 root 1.914 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
985 root 1.430 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
986     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
987     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
988 sf-exg 1.1035 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
989 root 1.430 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
990     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
991     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
992     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
993     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
994     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
995     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
996     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
997 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
998 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
999     rxvt-unicode).
1000     - get rid of the intpro files.
1001 root 1.373
1002 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1003 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1004 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1005     (Kuang-che Wu).
1006     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1007     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1008     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1009     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1010     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1011     along with other, similar, cleanups.
1012     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1013     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1014     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1015     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1016     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1017     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1018 root 1.361
1019 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1020     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1021 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1022     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1023     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1024     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1025     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1026     his patience and time in tracking this down).
1027     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1028     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1029 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1030 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1031     by Joël Riou).

1060     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1061     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.

1063     resulting in segfaults.
1064     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1065     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).

1067     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1068     (Mikael Magnusson).
1069     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1070     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1071     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1072     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).

1074     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1075     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1076     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1077     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1078     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1079     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

1100     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1101     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child

1128     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1129     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1130     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1131     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1184     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1185     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1186     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1187     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1188     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1189     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1190     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1191     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1192     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1193     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1194     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1195     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1196     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1213 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported

1215     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1216     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1217     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1218     screen updates with curses.
1219     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1220     by spaces.
1221     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1222     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1223     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1224     is just too slow for this to work.
1225     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1226     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1227     implement. use --enable-styles.
1228     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1229     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1230     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1231     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1232     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1233     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1234 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1235 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1236     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1237     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1238     (only for non-bold right now).
1239     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1240     - better default font size and style.
1241     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1242     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1243     single character against the base font extents and will only
1244     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1245     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1246     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1247     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1248     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1249     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1250     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1251     screen height.
1252     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1253     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1254     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1255     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1256     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1257     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1258     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.

1268 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1269     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1270     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1271     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1272     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1273     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1274 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1275 root 1.430 close).
1276     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1277     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1282     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1283     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1284     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1285     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1286     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1287     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1288     works.

1296     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1297     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1324     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1325     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1326     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1327     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1328     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1329     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1330     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".

1336     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.

1399 sf-exg 1.1035 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1400 root 1.430 (reported by elmex).
1401     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1402     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1403     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1404     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1405     Bloch.
1406 root 1.124
1407     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1408     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1409     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1410     sorry).
1411     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1412     make it a little bit more correct c++).
1413    
1414 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1415 root 1.430 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1416     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).

1424 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1425 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1426 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1427     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1428     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1429     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1430     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1431 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1432 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1433     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1434 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1435 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1436 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1437     overwritten (as is common).
1438     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1439     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1440 pcg 1.108
1441     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1442     - minor doc corrections.
1443 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1444     avoid clashes with xterm.
1445     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1446     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1447     window colour when arg is "?".
1448     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1449     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1450     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1451     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1452     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1453     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1454     (FRILLS).
1455     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1456     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1457     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1458     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1459 pcg 1.108
1460 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1461     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.

1463     - more informative error messages.
1464     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1465     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1466     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1467     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1468     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1469 pcg 1.91
1470 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004

1475     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1476     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1477     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1478     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1479     be used from within rxvt.
1480     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1481 pcg 1.83
1482 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1483     - code cleanup release.

1487     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1488     all files.
1489     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1490 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1491 pcg 1.74
1492 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1493 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1494     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1495     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1496     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1497     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1498 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1499 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1500     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1501     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1502     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1503     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1504     --disable-xgetdefault.
1505     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1506     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1507     unicode character.
1508 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1509 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1510 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1511 pcg 1.69
1512 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1513 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1514 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1515     settings.
1516     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1517     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1518     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1519     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1520     mbrtowc.
1521     - more robust encoding name matching.
1522     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1523     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.

1525     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1526     resources and docs.
1527     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

1540 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1541 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1542     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1543     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1544     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1545     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1546     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1547     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1548     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1549     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1550     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1551     reported by joel reed.
1552     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1553     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1554     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1555     being selected.
1556     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1557     - removed greek support.
1558     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1559     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1560     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1561 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1562 root 1.430 contributed.
1563     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1564     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1565     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1566     - many other minor bugfixes.

1568 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1569 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing

1571 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1572     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1573     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1574 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1575     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1576     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1577     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1578 pcg 1.19
1579 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1580     - further cleanups.
1581 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1582     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1583     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1584     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1585     please drop me a note.
1586 pcg 1.16
1587 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1588 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1589 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1590     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1591     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1592     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1593     was never implemented

1600     reported by fefe
1601     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1602     Markus Demleitner
