1 pcg 1.108 Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt
2     or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3     xfree86's xterm).
4    
5 root 1.124 TODO: escaping system for long escape sequences, so we can stop on CR/LF.
6     TODO: implement xterm mode to be able to use xfree's TERM=xterm.
7     TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al.
8     TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file because they
9     are very long-term :)
10    
11     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
12     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
13     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
14     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
15     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
16     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
17     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
18     with ^V (SYN).
19     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
20    
21     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
22     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
23     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
24     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
25     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
26     well as with other terminal emulators.
27     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
28     (reported by elmex).
29     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
30     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
31     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
32     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
33     Bloch.
34    
35     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
36     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
37     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
38     sorry).
39     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
40     make it a little bit more correct c++).
41    
42 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
43     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
44     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
45     - minor i18n issue fixes.
46    
47 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
48     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
49     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
50     - fix some minor bugs.
51    
52 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
53 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
54     for the keymappings.
55 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
56     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
57     - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
58     extension and is slightly ugly.
59     - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
60     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
61     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
62     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
63     - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
64     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
65     overwritten (as is common).
66     - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
67     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
68    
69     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
70     - minor doc corrections.
71     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
72     avoid clashes with xterm.
73     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
74     - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
75     colour when arg is "?".
76     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
77     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
78     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
79     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
80     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
81     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
82     (FRILLS).
83     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
84     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
85     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
86     - set _NET_WM_PID.
87    
88 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
89     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
90     - support more 8-bit controls.
91     - more informative error messages.
92     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
93     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
94     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
95     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
96     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
97    
98 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
99     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
100     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
101     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
102     - removed old selection style completely.
103     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
104     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
105     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
106     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
107     be used from within rxvt.
108     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
109    
110 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
111     - code cleanup release.
112     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
113     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
114     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
115     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
116     all files.
117     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
118     --enable-xgetdefaults.
119    
120 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
121     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
122     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
123     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
124     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
125     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
126     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
127     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
128     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
129 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
130     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
131 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
132     --disable-xgetdefault.
133     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
134     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
135     unicode character.
136     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
137     get it wrong.
138     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
139    
140 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
141     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
142     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
143     settings.
144     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
145     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
146     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
147     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
148     mbrtowc.
149     - more robust encoding name matching.
150     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
151     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
152     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
153     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
154     resources and docs.
155     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
156    
157 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
158     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
159     - some doc cleanup
160     - configure cleanup
161     - viscii enabled by default
162     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
163    
164     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
165     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
166    
167 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
168 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
169 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
170     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
171 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
172 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
173 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
174 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
175 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
176 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
177 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
178     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
179     reported by joel reed.
180 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
181 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
182 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
183     being selected.
184     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
185 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
186 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
187 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
188 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
189 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
190     contributed.
191 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
192 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
193 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
194 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
195 pcg 1.26
196 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
197 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
198     new bugs, this should not change much.
199 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
200 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
201 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
202     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
203 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
204     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
205 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
206 pcg 1.19
207 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
208     - further cleanups.
209     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
210 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
211 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
212     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
213     please drop me a note.
214 pcg 1.16
215 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
216 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
217     - blinking text.
218     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
219     normal text when colorBD is not set.
220 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
221     was never implemented
222 pcg 1.13
223 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
224 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
225 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
226 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
227     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
228 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
229 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
230 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
231 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
232 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
233     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
234 pcg 1.7
235 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
236 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
