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 root 1.1054 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
27     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
28 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
29     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
30     to disable both scaling and tiling.
31 sf-exg 1.1039 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
32 sf-exg 1.1052 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
33 sf-exg 1.1039 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
34 sf-exg 1.1052 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
35 root 1.1044 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
36     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
37     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
38 sf-exg 1.1046 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
39     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 sf-exg 1.1045 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
41 sf-exg 1.1043 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
42     Filardo).
43 sf-exg 1.1040 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
44     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
45     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
46     the cell size.
47 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
48     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
49     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 root 1.1036 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
51 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
52     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
53     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
54 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
55 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
56 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
57     (Bob Farrell).
58 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
59     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
60     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
61     Pohlack).
62 mikachu 1.1048 - Support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
63     Michael Stapelberg).
64 root 1.1050 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
65 sf-exg 1.1034
66 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
67 sf-exg 1.1029 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
68     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
69     support the UTF8_STRING target.
70 root 1.1028 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
71     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
72     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
73     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
74 sf-exg 1.1027 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
75 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
76     core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
77 root 1.1031 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
78 root 1.1032 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
79     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
80 sf-exg 1.1026
81 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
82 sf-exg 1.1024 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
83 sf-exg 1.1023 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
84     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
85 sf-exg 1.1022 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
86     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
87     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 sf-exg 1.1021 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
89     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
90 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
91     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
92 root 1.1016 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
93     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
94 sf-exg 1.1017 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
95 sf-exg 1.1005 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
96     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
97     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
98 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
99 root 1.1004 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
100 root 1.1018 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
101     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
102 sf-exg 1.1001 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
103     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
104     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
106     we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
107     with gcc.
108 sf-exg 1.995 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
109 sf-exg 1.1006 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
110 sf-exg 1.1013 - document 'thickness' resource.
111 sf-exg 1.993 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
112 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
113     hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
114 sf-exg 1.1001 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
115     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 root 1.999 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
117 sf-exg 1.1011 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
118 root 1.1002 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
119 root 1.1010 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
120 sf-exg 1.1011 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
121 root 1.1012 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
122 root 1.988
123 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
124 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
125 root 1.989 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
126     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
127 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
128     count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
129 root 1.981 failures with gcc 4.5.
130 sf-exg 1.979 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
131     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
132 sf-exg 1.991 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
133 sf-exg 1.979 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
134     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
135     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
136     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
137 sf-exg 1.986 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
138 root 1.976 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
139     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
140 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
141     and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
142 root 1.976 and has fewer limitations.
143 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
144 root 1.976 startup for the upper left corner.
145 sf-exg 1.980 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
146     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
147     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
148 sf-exg 1.977 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
149     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
150     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
151     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
152 sf-exg 1.975 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
153     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
154     - fix build on XFree86.
155 sf-exg 1.984 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
156 root 1.982 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
157 root 1.983 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
158     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
159 sf-exg 1.975

162     - the bestest release ever.
163 sf-exg 1.970 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
164 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
165     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
166 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
169 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
170     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
171     (Emanuele Giaquinta).

176 root 1.947 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
177     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
178     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
179     - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
180     characters other than first one in the selected cell
181     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
182     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
183     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
184     - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
185     (found by Mikachu).
186 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
187     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
188 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
189 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
191 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
193 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
194 root 1.947 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
195     for 256 colours.
196 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).

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

220 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
221     in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.

229     (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
230 root 1.911 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
231     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
232 root 1.912 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
233 root 1.913 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
234     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being

249 root 1.921 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
250     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
251     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world

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

307 root 1.904 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
308     (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
309 root 1.875
310 root 1.873 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008

320     sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
321 root 1.871 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around

347     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
348 root 1.905 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
349 root 1.834 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).

464 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
465 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
466     (found by Aiviru).
467 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
468     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
469     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
470     case to work around for :/
471 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
472 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
473     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.

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

498 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
499     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.

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

512 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the

519     - update to libptytty-1.0.
520 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of

523 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible

525     bug #143985).
526 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
527 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that

535     it does! :->
536 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
537 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
538 root 1.691
539 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
540 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
541     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
542     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
543     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
544     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
545 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
546 root 1.905 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
547 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
548     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
549 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
550 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search

554 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
555     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
556 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
557     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
558 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
559     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
560 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
561     generic osc_seq.
562 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
563     were invoked recursively.
564 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the

566 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
567 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
568     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
569     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
570 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
571 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported

573 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
574     follow C++ closely enough.
575 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
576 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
577 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the

579 root 1.661
580 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
581 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
582 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
583     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
584 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
585 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
586 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
587 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
588     refresh bugs please.
589 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
590 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
591     improve size hint setting.
592 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
593     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
594     to correctly position their preedit window.
595 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
596     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
597 root 1.905 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
598 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
599     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
600 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
601     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
602 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
603 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
604 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
605     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
606     (reported by Paco-Paco).
607 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
608     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.

610 root 1.645
611 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
612 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
613 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
614     resource value.
615 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
616 root 1.905 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
617 root 1.634 relevant tab window.
618     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
619     (initial patch by hednod).
620 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
621     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
622 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
623     the benefit of automove-background.
624 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
625 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
626 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
627 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on

629 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
630     the colour components.
631 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.

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

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

1005 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1006 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1007 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1008     (Kuang-che Wu).
1009     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1010     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1011     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1012     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1013     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1014     along with other, similar, cleanups.
1015     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1016     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1017     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1018     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1019     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1020     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1021 root 1.361
1022 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1023     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1024 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1025     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1026     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1027     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1028     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1029     his patience and time in tracking this down).
1030     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1031     most notably, don't remove double quotes.

1066     resulting in segfaults.
1067     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the

1131     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1132     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1133     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1134     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1186     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1187     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1188     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1189     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1190     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1191     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1192     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1193     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1194     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1195     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1196     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1197     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1198     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1199     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1216 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported

1218     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1219     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1220     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1221     screen updates with curses.
1222     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1223     by spaces.
1224     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1225     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1226     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1227     is just too slow for this to work.
1228     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1229     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1230     implement. use --enable-styles.
1231     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1232     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1233     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1234     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1235     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1236     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1237 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1238 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1239     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1240     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1241     (only for non-bold right now).
1242     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1243     - better default font size and style.
1244     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1245     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1246     single character against the base font extents and will only
1247     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1248     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1249     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1250     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1251     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1252     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1253     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1254     screen height.
1255     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1256     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1257     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1258     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1259     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1260     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1261     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1262     - removed OSC 702.

1270 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1271 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1272     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1273     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1274     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1275     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1276     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1277 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1278 root 1.430 close).
1279     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1280     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1283 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1284 root 1.430 could not be created.
1285     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1286     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1287     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1288     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1289     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1290     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1291     works.
1292 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

1297     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1298     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1299     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1300     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1307     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1308     needs access to a local shell window).
1309     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1310     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1311     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1312     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1313     a little window or so) would be welcome.

1316     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1317     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.

1326     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1327     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1328     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1329     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1330     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1331     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1332     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1333     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1334     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1335     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1336     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1337     needs testing anyways.
1338     - more complete compile options help output.
1339     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1340     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1398 root 1.430 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1399     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1400     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1401     well as with other terminal emulators.
1402 sf-exg 1.1035 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1403 root 1.430 (reported by elmex).
1404     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1405     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1406     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1407     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1408     Bloch.
1409 root 1.124
1410     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1411     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1412     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1413     sorry).
1414     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1415     make it a little bit more correct c++).
1416    
1417 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1418 root 1.430 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1419     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1420     - minor i18n issue fixes.
1421 pcg 1.114
1422 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1423     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1424 root 1.430 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1425     - fix some minor bugs.
1426 pcg 1.110
1427 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1428 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1429 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1430     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1431     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1432     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1433     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1434 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1435 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1436     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1437 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1438 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1439 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1440     overwritten (as is common).
1441     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1442     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1443 pcg 1.108
1444     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1445     - minor doc corrections.
1446 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1447     avoid clashes with xterm.
1448     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1449     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1450     window colour when arg is "?".
1451     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1452     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1453     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1454     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1455     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1456     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1457     (FRILLS).
1458     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1459     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1460     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1461     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1462 pcg 1.108
1463 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1464     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1465 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1466     - more informative error messages.
1467     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1468     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1469     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1470     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1471     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1472 pcg 1.91
1473 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1474     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1475     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1476 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1477     - removed old selection style completely.
1478     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1479     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1480     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1481     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1482     be used from within rxvt.
1483     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1484 pcg 1.83
1485 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1486     - code cleanup release.
1487     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1488 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1489     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1490     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1491     all files.
1492     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1493 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1494 pcg 1.74
1495 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1496 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1497     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1498     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1499     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1500     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1501 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1502 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1503     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1504     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1505     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1506     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1507     --disable-xgetdefault.
1508     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1509     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1510     unicode character.
1511 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1512 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1513 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1514 pcg 1.69
1515 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1516 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1517 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1518     settings.
1519     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1520     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1521     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1522     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1523     mbrtowc.
1524     - more robust encoding name matching.
1525     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1526     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1527     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1528     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1529     resources and docs.
1530     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1531 pcg 1.58
1532 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1533     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1534 root 1.430 - some doc cleanup
1535     - configure cleanup
1536     - viscii enabled by default
1537     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1538 pcg 1.50
1539     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1540     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1541    
1542 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1543 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1544 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1545     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1546     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1547     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1548     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1549     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1550     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1551     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1552     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1553     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1554     reported by joel reed.
1555     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1556     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1557     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1558     being selected.
1559     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1560     - removed greek support.
1561     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1562     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1563     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1564 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1565 root 1.430 contributed.
1566     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1567     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1568     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1569     - many other minor bugfixes.
1570 pcg 1.26
1571 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1572 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1573 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1574 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1575     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1576     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1577 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1578     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1579     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1580     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1581 pcg 1.19
1582 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1583     - further cleanups.
1584 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1585     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1586     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1587     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1588     please drop me a note.
1589 pcg 1.16
1590 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1591 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1592 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1593     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1594     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1595     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1596     was never implemented
1597 pcg 1.13
1598 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1599 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1600 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1601     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1602     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1603     reported by fefe
1604     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1605     Markus Demleitner
1606     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING

1608     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1609 pcg 1.7
1610 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1611 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1614 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1615 pcg 1.1
1616 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
