# 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 1.147 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
11     - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
12     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
13     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
14     - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
15     speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
16     memmove :)
17     - minor cleanups.
18     - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
19     (debian bug #169415).
20     - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
21     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
22     - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
23     - updated config.guess.
24    
25     3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
26 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
27     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
28     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
29     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
30     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
31     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
32     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
33     speeding up scrolling immensely.
34     - various other optimizations.
35 root 1.147 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
36 root 1.145
37     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
38 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
39     - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
40     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
41     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
42     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
43     Mikael Magnusson).
44     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
45     Mikael Magnusson).
46     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
47     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
48     - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
49 root 1.124
50     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
51     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
52     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
53     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
54     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
55     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
56     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
57     with ^V (SYN).
58     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
59    
60     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
61     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
62     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
63     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
64     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
65     well as with other terminal emulators.
66     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
67     (reported by elmex).
68     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
69     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
70     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
71     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
72     Bloch.
73    
74     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
75     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
76     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
77     sorry).
78     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
79     make it a little bit more correct c++).
80    
81 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
82     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
83     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
84     - minor i18n issue fixes.
85    
86 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
87     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
88     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
89     - fix some minor bugs.
90    
91 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
92 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
93     for the keymappings.
94 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
95     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
96     - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
97     extension and is slightly ugly.
98     - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
99     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
100     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
101     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
102     - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
103     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
104     overwritten (as is common).
105     - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
106     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
107    
108     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
109     - minor doc corrections.
110     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
111     avoid clashes with xterm.
112     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
113     - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
114     colour when arg is "?".
115     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
116     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
117     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
118     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
119     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
120     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
121     (FRILLS).
122     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
123     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
124     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
125     - set _NET_WM_PID.
126    
127 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
128     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
129     - support more 8-bit controls.
130     - more informative error messages.
131     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
132     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
133     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
134     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
135     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
136    
137 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
138     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
139     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
140     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
141     - removed old selection style completely.
142     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
143     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
144     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
145     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
146     be used from within rxvt.
147     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
148    
149 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
150     - code cleanup release.
151     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
152     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
153     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
154     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
155     all files.
156     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
157     --enable-xgetdefaults.
158    
159 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
160     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
161     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
162     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
163     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
164     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
165     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
166     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
167     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
168 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
169     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
170 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
171     --disable-xgetdefault.
172     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
173     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
174     unicode character.
175     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
176     get it wrong.
177     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
178    
179 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
180     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
181     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
182     settings.
183     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
184     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
185     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
186     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
187     mbrtowc.
188     - more robust encoding name matching.
189     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
190     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
191     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
192     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
193     resources and docs.
194     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
195    
196 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
197     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
198     - some doc cleanup
199     - configure cleanup
200     - viscii enabled by default
201     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
202    
203     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
204     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
205    
206 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
207 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
208 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
209     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
210 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
211 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
212 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
213 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
214 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
215 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
216 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
217     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
218     reported by joel reed.
219 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
220 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
221 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
222     being selected.
223     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
224 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
225 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
226 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
227 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
228 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
229     contributed.
230 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
231 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
232 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
233 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
234 pcg 1.26
235 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
236 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
237     new bugs, this should not change much.
238 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
239 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
240 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
241     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
242 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
243     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
244 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
245 pcg 1.19
246 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
247     - further cleanups.
248     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
249 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
250 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
251     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
252     please drop me a note.
253 pcg 1.16
254 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
255 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
256     - blinking text.
257     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
258     normal text when colorBD is not set.
259 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
260     was never implemented
261 pcg 1.13
262 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
263 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
264 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
265 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
266     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
267 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
268 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
269 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
270 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
271 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
272     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
273 pcg 1.7
274 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
275 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
276     - small font tunings
277     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
278     - better error reporting for unknown options
279 pcg 1.1
280 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
281     - fix a bug in font height selection
