# User Rev Content
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: implement xterm mode to be able to use xfree's TERM=xterm.
6 root 1.145 (except for the keymapping this should be done now).
7 root 1.124 TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al.
8 root 1.137 TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file.
9    
10 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
11     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
12     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
13     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
14     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
15     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
16     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
17     speeding up scrolling immensely.
18     - various other optimizations.
19     - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson
20     ******************* MISSING DOCS ***********
21    
22     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
23 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
24     - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
25     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
26     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
27     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
28     Mikael Magnusson).
29     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
30     Mikael Magnusson).
31     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
32     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
33     - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
34 root 1.124
35     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
36     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
37     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
38     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
39     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
40     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
41     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
42     with ^V (SYN).
43     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
44    
45     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
46     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
47     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
48     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
49     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
50     well as with other terminal emulators.
51     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
52     (reported by elmex).
53     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
54     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
55     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
56     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
57     Bloch.
58    
59     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
60     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
61     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
62     sorry).
63     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
64     make it a little bit more correct c++).
65    
66 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
67     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
68     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
69     - minor i18n issue fixes.
70    
71 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
72     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
73     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
74     - fix some minor bugs.
75    
76 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
77 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
78     for the keymappings.
79 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
80     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
81     - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
82     extension and is slightly ugly.
83     - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
84     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
85     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
86     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
87     - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
88     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
89     overwritten (as is common).
90     - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
91     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
92    
93     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
94     - minor doc corrections.
95     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
96     avoid clashes with xterm.
97     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
98     - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
99     colour when arg is "?".
100     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
101     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
102     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
103     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
104     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
105     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
106     (FRILLS).
107     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
108     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
109     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
110     - set _NET_WM_PID.
111    
112 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
113     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
114     - support more 8-bit controls.
115     - more informative error messages.
116     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
117     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
118     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
119     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
120     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
121    
122 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
123     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
124     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
125     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
126     - removed old selection style completely.
127     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
128     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
129     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
130     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
131     be used from within rxvt.
132     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
133    
134 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
135     - code cleanup release.
136     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
137     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
138     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
139     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
140     all files.
141     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
142     --enable-xgetdefaults.
143    
144 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
145     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
146     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
147     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
148     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
149     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
150     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
151     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
152     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
153 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
154     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
155 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
156     --disable-xgetdefault.
157     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
158     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
159     unicode character.
160     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
161     get it wrong.
162     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
163    
164 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
165     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
166     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
167     settings.
168     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
169     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
170     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
171     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
172     mbrtowc.
173     - more robust encoding name matching.
174     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
175     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
176     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
177     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
178     resources and docs.
179     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
180    
181 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
182     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
183     - some doc cleanup
184     - configure cleanup
185     - viscii enabled by default
186     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
187    
188     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
189     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
190    
191 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
192 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
193 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
194     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
195 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
196 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
197 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
198 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
199 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
200 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
201 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
202     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
203     reported by joel reed.
204 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
205 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
206 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
207     being selected.
208     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
209 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
210 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
211 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
212 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
213 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
214     contributed.
215 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
216 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
217 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
218 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
219 pcg 1.26
220 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
221 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
222     new bugs, this should not change much.
223 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
224 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
225 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
226     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
227 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
228     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
229 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
230 pcg 1.19
231 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
232     - further cleanups.
233     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
234 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
235 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
236     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
237     please drop me a note.
238 pcg 1.16
239 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
240 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
241     - blinking text.
242     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
243     normal text when colorBD is not set.
244 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
245     was never implemented
246 pcg 1.13
247 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
248 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
249 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
250 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
251     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
252 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
253 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
254 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
255 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
256 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
257     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
258 pcg 1.7
259 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
260 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
261     - small font tunings
262     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
