10     3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
11     - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
12     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
13     needs access to a local shell window).
14     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
15     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
16     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
17     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
18     a little window or so) would be welcome.
19     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
20     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
21     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
22     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
23     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
24     added there.
25     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
26     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
27     - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
28     - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
29     instead of being ignored.
30     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
31     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
32     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
33     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
34     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
35     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
36     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
37     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
38     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
39     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
40     - SYNC. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
41     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
42     needs testing anyways.
43     - more complete compile options help output.
44     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
45     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
46     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
47     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
48     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
49     - minor doc fix.
50 root 1.137
51 root 1.147 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
52     - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
53     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
54     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
55     - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
56     speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
57     memmove :)
58     - minor cleanups.
59     - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
60     (debian bug #169415).
61     - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
62     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
63     - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
64     - updated config.guess.
65    
66     3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
67 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
68     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
69     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
70     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
71     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
72     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
73     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
74     speeding up scrolling immensely.
75     - various other optimizations.
76 root 1.147 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
77 root 1.145
78     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
79 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
80     - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
81     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
82     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
83     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
84     Mikael Magnusson).
85     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
86     Mikael Magnusson).
87     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
88     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
89     - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
90 root 1.124
91     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
92     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
93     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
94     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
95     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
96     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
97     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
98     with ^V (SYN).
99     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
100    
101     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
102     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
103     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
104     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
105     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
106     well as with other terminal emulators.
107     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
108     (reported by elmex).
109     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
110     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
111     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
112     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
113     Bloch.
114    
115     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
116     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
117     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
118     sorry).
119     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
120     make it a little bit more correct c++).
121    
122 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
123     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
124     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
125     - minor i18n issue fixes.
126    
127 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
128     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
129     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
130     - fix some minor bugs.
131    
132 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
133 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
134     for the keymappings.
135 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
136     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
137     - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
138     extension and is slightly ugly.
139     - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
140     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
141     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
142     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
143     - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
144     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
145     overwritten (as is common).
146     - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
147     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
148    
149     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
150     - minor doc corrections.
151     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
152     avoid clashes with xterm.
153     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
154     - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
155     colour when arg is "?".
156     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
157     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
158     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
159     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
160     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
161     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
162     (FRILLS).
163     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
164     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
165     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
166     - set _NET_WM_PID.
167    
168 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
169     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
170     - support more 8-bit controls.
171     - more informative error messages.
172     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
173     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
174     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
175     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
176     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
177    
178 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
179     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
180     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
181     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
182     - removed old selection style completely.
183     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
184     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
185     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
186     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
187     be used from within rxvt.
188     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
189    
190 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
191     - code cleanup release.
192     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
193     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
194     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
195     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
196     all files.
197     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
198     --enable-xgetdefaults.
199    
200 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
201     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
202     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
203     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
204     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
205     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
206     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
207     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
208     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
209 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
210     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
211 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
212     --disable-xgetdefault.
213     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
214     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
215     unicode character.
216     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
217     get it wrong.
218     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
219    
220 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
221     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
222     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
223     settings.
224     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
225     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
226     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
227     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
228     mbrtowc.
229     - more robust encoding name matching.
230     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
231     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
232     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
233     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
234     resources and docs.
235     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
236    
237 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
238     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
239     - some doc cleanup
240     - configure cleanup
241     - viscii enabled by default
242     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
243    
244     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
245     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
246    
247 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
248 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
249 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
250     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
251 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
252 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
253 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
254 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
255 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
256 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
257 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
258     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
259     reported by joel reed.
260 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
261 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
262 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
263     being selected.
264     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
265 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
266 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
267 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
268 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
269 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
270     contributed.
271 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
272 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
273 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
274 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
275 pcg 1.26
276 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
277 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
278     new bugs, this should not change much.
279 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
280 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
281 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
282     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
283 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
284     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
285 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
286 pcg 1.19
287 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
288     - further cleanups.
289     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
290 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
291 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
292     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
293     please drop me a note.
294 pcg 1.16
295 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
296 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
297     - blinking text.
298     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
299     normal text when colorBD is not set.
300 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
301     was never implemented
302 pcg 1.13
303 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
304 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
305 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
306 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
307     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
308 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
309 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
310 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
311 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
312 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
313     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
314 pcg 1.7
315 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
316 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
317     - small font tunings
318     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
319     - better error reporting for unknown options
320 pcg 1.1
321 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
322     - fix a bug in font height selection
323     - autoscale scalable x11 fonts

326 pcg 1.2
327     1.2 2003-12-24
328     - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
329     - better font matching
