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).

18     - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
19     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
20     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
21     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
22     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
23     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
24     resulting in segfaults.
25     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
26     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
27     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
28     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
29     (Mikael Magnusson).
30     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
31     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
32     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
33     tested by Roch).
34     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
35     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
36     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
37     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
38     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
39     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
40     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
41     - initialize the locale much earlier.
42     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
43    
44 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
45     - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
46     black on initial startup.
47     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
48     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
49     - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
50     - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
51     additional multimedia keys.
52     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
53     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
54    
55 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
56 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
57 root 1.293 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
58 root 1.296 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
59     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
60 root 1.298 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
61 root 1.296 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
62 root 1.300 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
63     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
64     ignored.
65 root 1.302 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
66     instead.
67 root 1.303 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
68     (reported by hednod).
69 root 1.302 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
70     - fix atom name enumeration.
71 root 1.291
72 root 1.290 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
73     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
74 root 1.289 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
75     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
76     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
77     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
78 root 1.288
79     4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
80 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
81     - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
82     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
83     titles etc.
84     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
85     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
86     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
87     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
88     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
89     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
90     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
91     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
92     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
93     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
94     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
95     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
96     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
97     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
98 root 1.272
99 root 1.274 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
100     - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
101     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
102     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
103     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
104     thoroughly.
105     - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
106     now, too.
107    
108 root 1.272 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
109 root 1.287 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
110 root 1.272 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
111     on high-latency networks.
112     - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
113     in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
114     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
115     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
116     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
117     by Gunnar Ritter.
118     - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
119     or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
120 root 1.252
121 root 1.263 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
122     - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
123     -ssc/-ssr settings.
124     - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
125     programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
126     - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
127     - add compile fix for darwin.
128     - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
129     - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
130     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
131    
132 root 1.252 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
133     - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
134     - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
135     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
136     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
137     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
138     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
139     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
140     ... terminated by a fix.
141     - new supported preeeditType "None".
142     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
143     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
144     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
145     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
146     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
147     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
148     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
149     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
150     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
151     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
152     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
153     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
154     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
155     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
156     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
157     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
158     in tracking this down.
159     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
160     make install) with the correct program name and other info.
161    
162     3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
163     - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
164     many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
165 root 1.236
166     3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
167     - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
168     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
169     installed if tic is available.
170     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
171     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
172     - removed README.unicode.
173     - support select&paste of tab characters.
174     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
175     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
176     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
177     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
178     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
179     screen updates with curses.
180     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
181     by spaces.
182     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
183     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
184     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
185     is just too slow for this to work.
186     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
187     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
188     implement. use --enable-styles.
189     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
190     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
191     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
192     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
193     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
194     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
195     - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
196     monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
197     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
198     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
199     (only for non-bold right now).
200     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
201     - better default font size and style.
202     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
203     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
204     single character against the base font extents and will only
205     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
206     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
207     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
208     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
209     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
210     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
211     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
212     screen height.
213     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
214     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
215     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
216     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
217     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
218     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
219     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
220     - removed OSC 702.
221     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
222     confused by it rather than using it.
223 root 1.168
224 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
225     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
226     - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
227     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
228     - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
229     due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
230     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
231     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
232     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
233     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
234     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
235     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
236     close).
237     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
238     not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
239     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
240     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
241     - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
242     could not be created.
243     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
244     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
245     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
246     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
247     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
248     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
249     works.
250     - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
251     - document more escape sequences.
252     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
253     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
254     character is a sensible operation.
255     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
256     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
257     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
258     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
259     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
260     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
261     with selections).
262    
263 root 1.168 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
264     - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
265     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
266     needs access to a local shell window).
267     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
268     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
269     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
270     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
271     a little window or so) would be welcome.
272     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
273     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
274     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
275     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
276     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
277     added there.
278     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
279     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
280     - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
281     - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
282     instead of being ignored.
283     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
284     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
285     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
286     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
287     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
288     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
289     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
290     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
291     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
292     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
293 root 1.194 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
294 root 1.168 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
295     needs testing anyways.
296     - more complete compile options help output.
297     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
298     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
299     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
300     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
301     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
302     - minor doc fix.
303 root 1.137
304 root 1.147 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
305     - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
306     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
307     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
308     - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
309     speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
310     memmove :)
311     - minor cleanups.
312     - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
313     (debian bug #169415).
314     - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
315     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
316     - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
317     - updated config.guess.
318    
319     3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
320 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
321     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
322     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
323     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
324     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
325     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
326     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
327     speeding up scrolling immensely.
328     - various other optimizations.
329 root 1.147 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
330 root 1.145
331     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
332 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
333     - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
334     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
335     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
336     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
337     Mikael Magnusson).
338     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
339     Mikael Magnusson).
340     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
341     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
342     - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
343 root 1.124
344     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
345     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
346     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
347     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
348     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
349     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
350     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
351     with ^V (SYN).
352     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
353    
354     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
355     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
356     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
357     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
358     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
359     well as with other terminal emulators.
360     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
361     (reported by elmex).
362     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
363     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
364     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
365     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
366     Bloch.
367    
368     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
369     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
370     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
371     sorry).
372     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
373     make it a little bit more correct c++).
374    
375 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
376     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
377     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
378     - minor i18n issue fixes.
379    
380 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
381     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
382     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
383     - fix some minor bugs.
384    
385 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
386 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
387     for the keymappings.
388 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
389     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
390     - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
391     extension and is slightly ugly.
392     - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
393     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
394     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
395     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
396     - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
397     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
398     overwritten (as is common).
399     - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
400     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
401    
402     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
403     - minor doc corrections.
404     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
405     avoid clashes with xterm.
406     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
407     - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
408     colour when arg is "?".
409     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
410     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
411     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
412     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
413     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
414     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
415     (FRILLS).
416     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
417     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
418     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
419     - set _NET_WM_PID.
420    
421 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
422     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
423     - support more 8-bit controls.
424     - more informative error messages.
425     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
426     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
427     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
428     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
429     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
430    
431 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
432     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
433     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
434     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
435     - removed old selection style completely.
436     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
437     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
438     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
439     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
440     be used from within rxvt.
441     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
442    
443 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
444     - code cleanup release.
445     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
446     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
447     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
448     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
449     all files.
450     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
451     --enable-xgetdefaults.
452    
453 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
454     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
455     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
456     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
457     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
458     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
459     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
460     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
461     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
462 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
463     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
464 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
465     --disable-xgetdefault.
466     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
467     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
468     unicode character.
469     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
470     get it wrong.
471     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
472    
473 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
474     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
475     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
476     settings.
477     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
478     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
479     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
480     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
481     mbrtowc.
482     - more robust encoding name matching.
483     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
484     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
485     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
486     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
487     resources and docs.
488     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
489    
490 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004

492     - some doc cleanup
493     - configure cleanup
494     - viscii enabled by default
495     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
496    
497     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
498     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
499    
500 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
501 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
502 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
503     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
504 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
505 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
506 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
507 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
508 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
509 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
510 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
511     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
512     reported by joel reed.
513 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
514 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
515 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
516     being selected.
517     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
518 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
519 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
520 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
521 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
522 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
523     contributed.
524 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
525 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
526 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
527 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
528 pcg 1.26
529 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
530 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
531     new bugs, this should not change much.
532 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
533 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
534 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
535     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
536 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
537     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
538 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
539 pcg 1.19
540 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
541     - further cleanups.
542     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
543 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
544 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
545     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
546     please drop me a note.
547 pcg 1.16
548 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
549 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
550     - blinking text.
551     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
552     normal text when colorBD is not set.
553 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
554     was never implemented
555 pcg 1.13
556 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
557 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
558 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
559 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
560     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
561 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
562 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
563 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
564 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
565 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
566     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
567 pcg 1.7
568 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
569 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
570     - small font tunings
571     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
572     - better error reporting for unknown options
573 pcg 1.1
574 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
575     - fix a bug in font height selection
576     - autoscale scalable x11 fonts

579 pcg 1.2
580     1.2 2003-12-24
581     - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
582     - better font matching
583     - better memory management (less memory)
584     - new fallback: gnu freefont
