# 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 1.168 TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance.
6 root 1.124 TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al.
7 root 1.137 TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file.
8 root 1.168 TODO: tabbed windows
9    
10 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
11     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
12     - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
13     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
14     - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
15     due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
16     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
17     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
18     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
19     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
20     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
21     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
22     close).
23     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
24     not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
25     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
26     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
27     - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
28     could not be created.
29     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
30     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
31     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
32     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
33     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
34     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
35     works.
36     - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
37     - document more escape sequences.
38     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
39     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
40     character is a sensible operation.
41     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
42     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
43     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
44     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
45     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
46     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
47     with selections).
48    
49 root 1.168 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
50     - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
51     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
52     needs access to a local shell window).
53     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
54     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
55     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
56     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
57     a little window or so) would be welcome.
58     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
59     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
60     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
61     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
62     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
63     added there.
64     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
65     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
66     - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
67     - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
68     instead of being ignored.
69     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
70     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
71     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
72     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
73     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
74     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
75     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
76     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
77     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
78     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
79 root 1.194 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
80 root 1.168 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
81     needs testing anyways.
82     - more complete compile options help output.
83     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
84     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
85     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
86     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
87     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
88     - minor doc fix.
89 root 1.137
90 root 1.147 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
91     - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
92     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
93     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
94     - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
95     speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
96     memmove :)
97     - minor cleanups.
98     - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
99     (debian bug #169415).
100     - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
101     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
102     - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
103     - updated config.guess.
104    
105     3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
106 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
107     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
108     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
109     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
110     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
111     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
112     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
113     speeding up scrolling immensely.
114     - various other optimizations.
115 root 1.147 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
116 root 1.145
117     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
118 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
119     - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
120     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
121     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
122     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
123     Mikael Magnusson).
124     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
125     Mikael Magnusson).
126     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
127     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
128     - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
129 root 1.124
130     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
131     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
132     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
133     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
134     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
135     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
136     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
137     with ^V (SYN).
138     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
139    
140     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
141     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
142     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
143     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
144     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
145     well as with other terminal emulators.
146     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
147     (reported by elmex).
148     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
149     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
150     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
151     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
152     Bloch.
153    
154     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
155     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
156     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
157     sorry).
158     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
159     make it a little bit more correct c++).
160    
161 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
162     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
163     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
164     - minor i18n issue fixes.
165    
166 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
167     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
168     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
169     - fix some minor bugs.
170    
171 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
172 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
173     for the keymappings.
174 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
175     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
176     - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
177     extension and is slightly ugly.
178     - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
179     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
180     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
181     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
182     - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
183     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
184     overwritten (as is common).
185     - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
186     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
187    
188     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
189     - minor doc corrections.
190     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
191     avoid clashes with xterm.
192     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
193     - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
194     colour when arg is "?".
195     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
196     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
197     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
198     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
199     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
200     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
201     (FRILLS).
202     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
203     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
204     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
205     - set _NET_WM_PID.
206    
207 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
208     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
209     - support more 8-bit controls.
210     - more informative error messages.
211     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
212     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
213     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
214     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
215     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
216    
217 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
218     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
219     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
220     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
221     - removed old selection style completely.
222     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
223     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
224     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
225     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
226     be used from within rxvt.
227     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
228    
229 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
230     - code cleanup release.
231     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
232     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
233     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
234     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
235     all files.
236     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
237     --enable-xgetdefaults.
238    
239 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
240     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
241     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
242     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
243     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
244     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
245     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
246     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
247     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
248 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
249     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
250 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
251     --disable-xgetdefault.
252     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
253     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
254     unicode character.
255     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
256     get it wrong.
257     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
258    
259 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
260     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
261     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
262     settings.
263     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
264     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
265     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
266     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
267     mbrtowc.
268     - more robust encoding name matching.
269     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
270     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
271     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
272     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
273     resources and docs.
274     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
275    
276 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
277     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
278     - some doc cleanup
279     - configure cleanup
280     - viscii enabled by default
281     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
282    
283     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
284     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
285    
286 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
287 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
288 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
289     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
290 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
291 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
292 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
293 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
294 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
295 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
296 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
297     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
298     reported by joel reed.
299 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
300 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
301 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
302     being selected.
303     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
304 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
305 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
306 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
307 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
308 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
309     contributed.
310 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
311 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
312 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
313 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
314 pcg 1.26
315 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
316 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
317     new bugs, this should not change much.
318 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
319 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
320 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
321     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
322 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
323     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
324 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
325 pcg 1.19
326 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
327     - further cleanups.
328     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
329 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
330 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
331     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
332     please drop me a note.
333 pcg 1.16
334 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
335 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
336     - blinking text.
337     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
338     normal text when colorBD is not set.
339 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
340     was never implemented
341 pcg 1.13
342 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
343 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
344 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
345 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
346     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
347 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
348 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
349 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
350 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
351 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
352     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
353 pcg 1.7
354 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
355 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
356     - small font tunings
357     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
358     - better error reporting for unknown options
359 pcg 1.1
360 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
361     - fix a bug in font height selection
362     - autoscale scalable x11 fonts

364 pcg 1.108 - much faster x11 font selection
365 pcg 1.2
366     1.2 2003-12-24
367     - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt

375     - much improved font choosing
376    
377 pcg 1.1 1.0
378 pcg 1.2 - first release

380 pcg 1.4 - removed rclock et al.
381     - initial conversion to C++
382 root 1.194
