29    
30 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
31     for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
32     (Kuang-che Wu).
33    
34 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
35     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
36     - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
37     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
38     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
39     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
40     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
41     his patience and time in tracking this down).
42     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
43     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
44     - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
45     - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
46     by Joël Riou).
47     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
48     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
49     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
50     - shaved off some code segment size.
51     - various code cleanups.
52     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
53    
54 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
55     - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
56     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
57     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
58     -pixmap is active.
59     - new option/resource imFont.
60     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
61     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
62     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
63     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
64     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
65     (WU Fengguang).
66     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
67     examples (rxvt.1).
68     - removed src/test completely.
69     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
70 root 1.287
71 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
72     - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
73     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
74     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
75     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
76     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
77     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
78     resulting in segfaults.
79     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
80     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
81     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
82     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
83     (Mikael Magnusson).
84     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
85     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
86     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
87 root 1.360 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
88 root 1.331 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
89     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
90     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
91     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
92     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
93     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
94     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
95     - initialize the locale much earlier.
96     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
97    
98 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
99     - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
100     black on initial startup.
101     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
102     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
103     - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
104     - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
105     additional multimedia keys.
106     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
107     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
108    
109 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
110 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
111 root 1.293 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
112 root 1.296 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
113     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
114 root 1.298 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
115 root 1.296 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
116 root 1.300 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
117     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
118     ignored.
119 root 1.302 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
120     instead.
121 root 1.303 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
122     (reported by hednod).
123 root 1.302 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
124     - fix atom name enumeration.
125 root 1.291
126 root 1.290 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
127     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
128 root 1.289 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
129     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
130     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
131     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
132 root 1.288
133     4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
134 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
135     - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
136     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
137     titles etc.
138     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
139     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
140     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
141     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
142     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
143     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
144     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
145     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
146     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
147     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
148     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
149     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
150     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
151     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
152 root 1.272
153 root 1.274 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
154     - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
155     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
156     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
157     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
158     thoroughly.
159     - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
160     now, too.
161    
162 root 1.272 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
163 root 1.287 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
164 root 1.272 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
165     on high-latency networks.
166     - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
167     in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
168     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
169     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
170     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
171     by Gunnar Ritter.
172     - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
173     or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
174 root 1.252
175 root 1.263 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
176     - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
177     -ssc/-ssr settings.
178     - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
179     programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
180     - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
181     - add compile fix for darwin.
182     - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
183     - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
184     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
185    
186 root 1.252 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
187     - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
188     - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
189     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
190     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
191     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
192     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
193     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
194     ... terminated by a fix.
195     - new supported preeeditType "None".
196     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
197     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
198     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
199     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
200     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
201     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
202     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
203     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
204     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
205     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
206     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
207     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
208     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
209     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
210     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
211     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
212     in tracking this down.
213     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
214     make install) with the correct program name and other info.
215    
216     3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
217     - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
218     many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
219 root 1.236
220     3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
221     - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
222     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
223     installed if tic is available.
224     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
225     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
226     - removed README.unicode.
227     - support select&paste of tab characters.
228     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
229     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
230     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
231     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
232     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
233     screen updates with curses.
234     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
235     by spaces.
236     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
237     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
238     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
239     is just too slow for this to work.
240     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
241     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
242     implement. use --enable-styles.
243     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
244     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
245     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
246     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
247     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
248     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
249     - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
250     monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
251     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
252     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
253     (only for non-bold right now).
254     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
255     - better default font size and style.
256     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
257     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
258     single character against the base font extents and will only
259     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
260     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
261     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
262     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
263     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
264     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
265     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
266     screen height.
267     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
268     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
269     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
270     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
271     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
272     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
273     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
274     - removed OSC 702.
275     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
276     confused by it rather than using it.
277 root 1.168
278 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
279     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
280     - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
281     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
282     - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
283     due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
284     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
285     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
286     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
287     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
288     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
289     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
290     close).
291     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
292     not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
293     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
294     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
295     - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
296     could not be created.
297     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
298     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
299     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
300     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
301     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
302     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
303     works.
304     - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
305     - document more escape sequences.
306     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
307     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
308     character is a sensible operation.
309     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
310     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
311     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
312     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
313     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
314     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
315     with selections).
316    
317 root 1.168 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
318     - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
319     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
320     needs access to a local shell window).
321     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
322     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
323     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
324     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
325     a little window or so) would be welcome.
326     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
327     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
328     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
329     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
330     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
331     added there.
332     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
333     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
334     - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
335     - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
336     instead of being ignored.
337     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
338     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
339     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
340     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
341     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
342     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
343     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
344     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
345     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
346     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
347 root 1.194 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
348 root 1.168 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
349     needs testing anyways.
350     - more complete compile options help output.
351     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
352     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
353     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
354     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
355     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
356     - minor doc fix.
357 root 1.137
358 root 1.147 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
359     - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
360     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
361     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
362     - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
363     speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
364     memmove :)
365     - minor cleanups.
366     - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
367     (debian bug #169415).
368     - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
369     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
370     - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
371     - updated config.guess.
372    
373     3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
374 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
375     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
376     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
377     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
378     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
379     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
380     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
381     speeding up scrolling immensely.
382     - various other optimizations.
383 root 1.147 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
384 root 1.145
385     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
386 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
387     - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
388     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
389     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
390     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
391     Mikael Magnusson).
392     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
393     Mikael Magnusson).
394     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
395     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
396     - disable-xim now really disables xim code.

398     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
399     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
400     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
401     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
402     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
403     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
404     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
405     with ^V (SYN).
406     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
407    
408     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
409     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
410     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
411     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
412     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
413     well as with other terminal emulators.
414     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
415     (reported by elmex).
416     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
417     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
418     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
419     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
420     Bloch.
421    
422     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
423     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
424     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
425     sorry).
426     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
427     make it a little bit more correct c++).
428    
429 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
430     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
431     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
432     - minor i18n issue fixes.
433    
434 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
435     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
436     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
437     - fix some minor bugs.
438    
439 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
440 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
441     for the keymappings.
442 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
443     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
444     - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
445     extension and is slightly ugly.
446     - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
447     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
448     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
449     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
450     - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
451     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
452     overwritten (as is common).
453     - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
454     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
455    
456     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
457     - minor doc corrections.
458     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
459     avoid clashes with xterm.
460     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
461     - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
462     colour when arg is "?".
463     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
464     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
465     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
466     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
467     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
468     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
469     (FRILLS).
470     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
471     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
472     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
473     - set _NET_WM_PID.
474    
475 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
476     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
477     - support more 8-bit controls.
478     - more informative error messages.
479     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
480     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
481     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
482     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
483     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
484    
485 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
486     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
487     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
488     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
489     - removed old selection style completely.
490     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
491     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
492     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
493     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
494     be used from within rxvt.
495     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
496    
497 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
498     - code cleanup release.
499     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
500     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
501     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
502     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
503     all files.
504     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
505     --enable-xgetdefaults.
506    
507 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
508     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
509     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
510     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
511     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
512     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
513     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
514     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
515     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
516 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
517     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
518 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
519     --disable-xgetdefault.
520     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
521     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
522     unicode character.
523     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
524     get it wrong.
525     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
526    
527 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
528     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
529     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
530     settings.
531     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
532     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
533     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
534     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
535     mbrtowc.
536     - more robust encoding name matching.
537     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
538     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
539     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
540     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
541     resources and docs.
542     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
543    
544 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
545     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
546     - some doc cleanup
547     - configure cleanup
548     - viscii enabled by default
549     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
550    
551     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
552     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
553    
554 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
555 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
556 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
557     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
558 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
559 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
560 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
561 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
562 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
563 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
564 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
565     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
566     reported by joel reed.
567 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
568 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
569 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
570     being selected.
571     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
572 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
573 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
574 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
575 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
576 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
577     contributed.
578 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
579 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
580 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
581 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
582 pcg 1.26
583 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
584 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
585     new bugs, this should not change much.
586 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
587 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
588 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
589     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
590 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
591     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
592 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
593 pcg 1.19
594 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
595     - further cleanups.
596     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
597 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
598 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
599     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
600     please drop me a note.
601 pcg 1.16
602 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
603 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
604     - blinking text.
605     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
606     normal text when colorBD is not set.
607 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
608     was never implemented
609 pcg 1.13
610 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
611 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
612 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
613 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
614     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
615 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
616 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
617 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
618 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
619 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
620     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
621 pcg 1.7
622 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
623 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
624     - small font tunings
625     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
626     - better error reporting for unknown options
627 pcg 1.1
628 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
629     - fix a bug in font height selection
630     - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
631     - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
632 pcg 1.108 - much faster x11 font selection
633 pcg 1.2
634     1.2 2003-12-24
635     - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
636     - better font matching
637     - better memory management (less memory)
638     - new fallback: gnu freefont
639    
640     1.1 2003-12-18
641     - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
