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

23 root 1.933
24 root 1.1079 9.16
25 sf-exg 1.1080 - remove support for libafterimage.
26 sf-exg 1.1077 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
27 root 1.1076 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
28     as diagnosed by clang.
29 sf-exg 1.1075 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
30     lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
31 root 1.1078 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
32     nickfailure@gmail.com).
33 sf-exg 1.1075
34 root 1.1074 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
35 root 1.1073 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
36     thinks thats an error.
37 root 1.1069 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
38 sf-exg 1.1070 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
39 sf-exg 1.1063 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
40 sf-exg 1.1064 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
41 sf-exg 1.1068 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
42     not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
43     and destination in composite operations.
44     - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
45     for tabs.
46 sf-exg 1.1067 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
47     Sung Pae).
48 sf-exg 1.1072 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.

50 sf-exg 1.1063
51 root 1.1062 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
52 sf-exg 1.1052 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
53     $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
54 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
55     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
56 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
57     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
58     to disable both scaling and tiling.
59 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
60     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
61     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
62     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
64     in the next release.
65     - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
66     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
67     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
68     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
69     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
70     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
71     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
72     Filardo).
73     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
74     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
75     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
76     the cell size.
77 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
78     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
79     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 mikachu 1.1058 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
81 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
82     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
83     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
84 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
85 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
86 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
87     (Bob Farrell).
88 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
89     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
90     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
91     Pohlack).
92 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
93 mikachu 1.1048 Michael Stapelberg).
94 mikachu 1.1058 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
95 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
96 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
97     edge (Mikachu).
98 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
99     handle exceptions better.
100 sf-exg 1.1060 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
101     'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 sf-exg 1.1034
103 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
104 mikachu 1.1058 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
105     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
106     support the UTF8_STRING target.
107     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
108     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
109     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
110     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111     - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
112 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
113 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
114     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
115     - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
116     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
117 sf-exg 1.1026
118 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
119 mikachu 1.1058 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
120     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
121     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
122     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
123     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
124     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
126     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
127 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
128     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
129 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
130     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
131     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
132     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
133     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
134     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
135 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
136 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
137     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
138     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
139     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
140     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
141     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
142 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
143 mikachu 1.1058 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
144     with gcc.
145     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
147     - document 'thickness' resource.
148     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
149 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
150 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
151     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
152     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
153     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
154     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
155     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
156     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
157     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
158     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
159 root 1.988
160 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
161 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
162 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
163     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
164 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
165 mikachu 1.1058 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
166     failures with gcc 4.5.
167     - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
168     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
169     both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
170     dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
171     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
172     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
173     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
174     - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
175     - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
176     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
177 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
178 mikachu 1.1058 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
179     and has fewer limitations.
180 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
181 mikachu 1.1058 startup for the upper left corner.
182     - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
183     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
184     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
185     - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
186     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
187     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
188     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189     - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
190     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
191     - fix build on XFree86.
192     - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
193     For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
194     - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
195     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
196 sf-exg 1.975
197 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
198     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
199     - the bestest release ever.
200 mikachu 1.1058 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
201 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
202     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
203 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
204 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
205 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
206 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
207     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
208     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
210 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
211 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
212     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
213 mikachu 1.1058 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
214     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
215     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
216 root 1.947 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
217     characters other than first one in the selected cell
218     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
219     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
220 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
221 root 1.947 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
222 mikachu 1.1058 (found by Mikachu).
223 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
224     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
225 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
226 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
228 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
229 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
230 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
231 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
232     for 256 colours.
233 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
234 mikachu 1.1058 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
235     - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
236     88*88 possible pairs.
237     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
238     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
239     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
240     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
241     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
242     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
243 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
244     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
245     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
246 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
247     default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
248     backspacekey was given.
249     - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
250     - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
251     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
252     - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
253     - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
254     - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
255 sf-exg 1.930
256 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
257 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
258 mikachu 1.1058 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
259     - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
260     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
261     Mikachu).
262     - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
263 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
264 mikachu 1.1058 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
265 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
266 mikachu 1.1058 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
267     - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
268     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
269     - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
270     refresh (reported by Mikachu).
271     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
272     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
273     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
274     try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
275     (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
276     - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
277     sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).

284     - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
285     - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
286     - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
287     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
288     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
289     in need of fixing. go figure.
290     - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
291     - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
292     to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
293     the new ->selection_screen method.
294     - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
295     (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
296     - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
297     - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
298     - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

300 root 1.908
301 root 1.906 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
302 root 1.901 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
303 mikachu 1.1058 - updates libev to 3.48.
304 root 1.886 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
305 mikachu 1.1058 when a window was closed.
306     - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
307     scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
308     - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
309     when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
310     - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
311     when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
312     makes copy&paste work.
313 root 1.879 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
314 mikachu 1.1058 no longer apply.
315     - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
316     - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
317 root 1.878 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
318 root 1.875 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
319 mikachu 1.1058 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
320     - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
321     - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
322     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
323     - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
324     the only known workaround.
325     - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
326     - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
327     to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
328     - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
329     client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
330     disabling size hints.
331     - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
332     and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
333     as mouse reporting.
334     - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
335     tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
336     - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
337     droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
338     - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
339     - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
340     - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
341     - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.

349 mikachu 1.1058 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
350 root 1.871 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
351 mikachu 1.1058 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).

630     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
631     to correctly position their preedit window.
632     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
633     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
634     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
635     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where

685     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
686     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
687     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
688     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.

699     an "[alpha]" prefix.
700     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
701     transparent. Long Live Xft!
702     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use

728     - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
729     - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
730     selection extension.
731     - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
732     commands to fetch and store the selection data.
733     - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
734     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
735     - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
736     - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and

750     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
751     getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
752     ctrl-shift-672c).
753     - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
754     non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
755     - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
756     the primary screen.
757     - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
758     could lead to an assertion failure.
759     - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
760     - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
761     via mouse clicks.
762 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection

764 mikachu 1.1058 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
765     in non-synthetic events.
766     - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
767     pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
768     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
769     continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
770     whole urxvt[d] process.
771     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).

777 mikachu 1.1058 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
778     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
779     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
780     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
781     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
782     special privileges.
783     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
784     itself.
785     - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
786     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
787     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
788     e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
789     similar stuff.
790 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't

795     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
796     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
797     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
798     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
799     - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
800     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
801     - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
802     - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure

822     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
823     - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
824     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
825     - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
826     and much much more.
827     - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
828     - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
829     - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
830     - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
831     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
832     setuid/setgid.
833     - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
834     side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
835     - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
836     - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
837     - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
838     - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
839     - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.

841     compatible, and not really small either.
842     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
843     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
844     - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
845     to crashes.
846     - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
847     colours.

852 mikachu 1.1058 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
853     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
854     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
855     too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
856     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
857     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
858     - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
859     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
860     by Mikachu).
861     - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
862     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
863     menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
864     perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
865     - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
866     Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
867     - fix directory permissions on install.
868     - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
869     and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
870     - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
871     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
872     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

879     obscure the mouse cursor position.

897     - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
898     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
899     - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
900     stripping whitespace.
901     - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.

942     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
943     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
944     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
945     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
946     windows.
947     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default

958     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).

967 sf-exg 1.1035 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
968 root 1.430 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
969     Affects display in iso14755 box.
970     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
971     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
972     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
973     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
974     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
975     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
976     cutting pieces off of characters.
977     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
978     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
979     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
980     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).

1097 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1098     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1099     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1100     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1101     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1102     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1103     resulting in segfaults.
1104     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1105     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1106     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1107     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1108     (Mikael Magnusson).
1109     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1110     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1111     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1112     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1113     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1114     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1115     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1116     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1117 sf-exg 1.1063 on frills, not on its own configure option).

1138     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1139     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1140     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1141 sf-exg 1.1063 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1142 root 1.430 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1143     ignored.
1144     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1145     instead.

1165     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1166     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1167     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1168     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1169     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1170     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1171     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1172     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1173     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1174     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.

1218     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1219     ... terminated by a fix.
1220     - new supported preeeditType "None".
1221     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1222     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1223     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1224     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1225     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1226     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1227     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1228     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1229     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1230     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1231     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1232     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1233     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1234     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1235     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1236     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1237     in tracking this down.

1250     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1251     - removed README.unicode.
1252     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1253 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1254 root 1.430 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1255     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1256     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1257     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1258     screen updates with curses.
1259     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1260     by spaces.
1261     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1262     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1263     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1264     is just too slow for this to work.
1265     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1266     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1267     implement. use --enable-styles.
1268     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1269     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1270     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1271     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1272     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1273     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1274 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1275 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1276     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1277     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1278     (only for non-bold right now).
1279     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1280     - better default font size and style.
1281     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1282     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1283     single character against the base font extents and will only
1284     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1285     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1286     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1287     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1288     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1289     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1290     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1291     screen height.
1292     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1293     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1294     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1295     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1296     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1297     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1298     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1299     - removed OSC 702.
1300     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be

1307 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1308 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1309     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1310     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1311     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1312     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1313     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1314 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1315 root 1.430 close).
1316     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1317     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1318     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1319     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1320 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1321 root 1.430 could not be created.
1322     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1323     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1324     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1325     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1326     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1327     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1328     works.
1329 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1330 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
1331     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).

1333     character is a sensible operation.
1334     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1335     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1336     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1337     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1338     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1339     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1340     with selections).

1344     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1345     needs access to a local shell window).
1346     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1347     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1348     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1349 sf-exg 1.1063 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1350 root 1.430 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1351     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1352     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1353     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1354     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1355     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1356     added there.
1357     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1358     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1359 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1360 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode

1362     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1363     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1364     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1365     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1366     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1367     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1368     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1369     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1370     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1371     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1372     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1373     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1374     needs testing anyways.
1375     - more complete compile options help output.
1376     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1377     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1378     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1379     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from

1454 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1455 root 1.430 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1456     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1457     - minor i18n issue fixes.
1458 pcg 1.114
1459 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004

1463 pcg 1.110
1464 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1465 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1466 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1467     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1468     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1469     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1470     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1471 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1472 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1473     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1474 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1475 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1476 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1477     overwritten (as is common).
1478     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1479     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1480 pcg 1.108
1481     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1482     - minor doc corrections.
1483 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1484     avoid clashes with xterm.
1485     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1486     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1487     window colour when arg is "?".
1488     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1489     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1490     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1491     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1492     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1493     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1494     (FRILLS).
1495     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1496     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1497     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1498     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1499 pcg 1.108
1500 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1501     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1502 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1503     - more informative error messages.
1504     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1505     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1506     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1507     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1508     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1509 pcg 1.91
1510 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1511     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.

1515     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1516     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1517     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1518     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1519     be used from within rxvt.
1520     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1521 pcg 1.83
1522 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1523     - code cleanup release.
1524     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1525 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1526     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1527     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1528     all files.
1529     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1530 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1531 pcg 1.74
1532 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1533 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1534     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1535     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1536     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1537     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1538 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1539 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1540     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1541     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1542     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1543     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1544     --disable-xgetdefault.
1545     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1546     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1547     unicode character.
1548 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1549 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1550 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1551 pcg 1.69
1552 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1553 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1554 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1555     settings.
1556     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1557     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1558     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1559     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1560     mbrtowc.
1561     - more robust encoding name matching.
1562     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1563     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1564     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1565     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1566     resources and docs.
1567     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

1579 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1580 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1581 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1582     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1583     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1584     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1585     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1586     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1587     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1588     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1589     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1590     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1591     reported by joel reed.
1592     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1593     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1594     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1595     being selected.
1596     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1597     - removed greek support.
1598     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1599     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1600     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1601 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1602 root 1.430 contributed.
1603     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1604     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1605     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1606     - many other minor bugfixes.
1607 pcg 1.26
1608 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1609 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1610 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1611 mikachu 1.1058 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1612     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1613     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1614 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1615     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1616     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1617     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1618 pcg 1.19
1619 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1620     - further cleanups.
1621 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1622     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1623     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1624     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1625     please drop me a note.
1626 pcg 1.16
1627 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1628 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1629 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1630     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1631     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1632     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1633     was never implemented
1634 pcg 1.13

1636 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1637 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1638     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1639     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1640     reported by fefe
1641     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1642     Markus Demleitner
1643     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
