14    
15 root 1.363 5.1
16 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
17     for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
18     (Kuang-che Wu).
19 root 1.368 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
20     tk script to make a tabbable terminal now.
21 root 1.364 - only warn on X errors, *try* to continue (frills).
22 root 1.363 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
23 root 1.365 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
24     along with other, similar, cleanups.
25 root 1.361
26 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
27     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
28     - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
29     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
30     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
31     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
32     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
33     his patience and time in tracking this down).
34     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
35     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
36     - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
37     - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
38     by Joël Riou).
39     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
40     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
41     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
42     - shaved off some code segment size.
43     - various code cleanups.
44     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
45    
46 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
47     - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
48     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
49     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
50     -pixmap is active.
51     - new option/resource imFont.
52     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
53     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
54     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
55     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
56     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
57     (WU Fengguang).
58     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
59     examples (rxvt.1).
60     - removed src/test completely.
61     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
62 root 1.287
63 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
64     - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
65     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
66     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
67     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
68     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
69     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
70     resulting in segfaults.
71     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
72     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
73     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
74     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
75     (Mikael Magnusson).
76     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
77     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
78     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
79 root 1.360 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
80 root 1.331 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
81     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
82     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
83     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
84     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
85     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
86     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
87     - initialize the locale much earlier.
88     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
89    
90 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
91     - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
92     black on initial startup.
93     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
94     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
95     - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
96     - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
97     additional multimedia keys.
98     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
99     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
100    
101 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
102 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
103 root 1.293 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
104 root 1.296 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
105     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
106 root 1.298 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
107 root 1.296 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
108 root 1.300 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
109     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
110     ignored.
111 root 1.302 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
112     instead.
113 root 1.303 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
114     (reported by hednod).
115 root 1.302 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
116     - fix atom name enumeration.
117 root 1.291
118 root 1.290 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
119     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
120 root 1.289 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
121     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
122     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
123     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
124 root 1.288
125     4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
126 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
127     - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
128     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
129     titles etc.
130     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
131     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
132     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
133     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
134     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
135     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
136     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
137     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
138     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
139     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
140     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
141     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
142     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
143     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
144 root 1.272
145 root 1.274 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
146     - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
147     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
148     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
149     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
150     thoroughly.
151     - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
152     now, too.
153    
154 root 1.272 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
155 root 1.287 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
156 root 1.272 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
157     on high-latency networks.
158     - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
159     in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
160     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
161     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
162     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
163     by Gunnar Ritter.
164     - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
165     or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
166 root 1.252
167 root 1.263 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
168     - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
169     -ssc/-ssr settings.
170     - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
171     programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
172     - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
173     - add compile fix for darwin.
174     - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
175     - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
176     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
177    
178 root 1.252 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
179     - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
180     - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
181     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
182     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
183     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
184     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
185     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
186     ... terminated by a fix.
187     - new supported preeeditType "None".
188     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
189     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
190     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
191     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
192     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
193     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
194     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
195     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
196     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
197     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
198     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
199     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
200     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
201     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
202     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
203     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
204     in tracking this down.
205     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
206     make install) with the correct program name and other info.
207    
208     3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
209     - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
210     many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
211 root 1.236
212     3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
213     - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
214     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
215     installed if tic is available.
216     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
217     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
218     - removed README.unicode.
219     - support select&paste of tab characters.
220     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
221     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
222     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
223     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
224     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
225     screen updates with curses.
226     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
227     by spaces.
228     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
229     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
230     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
231     is just too slow for this to work.
232     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
233     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
234     implement. use --enable-styles.
235     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
236     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
237     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
238     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
239     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
240     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
241     - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
242     monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
243     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
244     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
245     (only for non-bold right now).
246     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
247     - better default font size and style.
248     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
249     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
250     single character against the base font extents and will only
251     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
252     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
253     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
254     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
255     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
256     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
257     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
258     screen height.
259     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
260     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
261     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
262     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
263     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
264     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
265     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
266     - removed OSC 702.
267     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
268     confused by it rather than using it.
269 root 1.168
270 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
271     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
272     - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
273     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
274     - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
275     due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
276     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
277     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
278     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
279     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
280     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
281     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
282     close).
283     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
284     not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
285     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
286     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
287     - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
288     could not be created.
289     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
290     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
291     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
292     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
293     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
294     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
295     works.
296     - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
297     - document more escape sequences.
298     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
299     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
300     character is a sensible operation.
301     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
302     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
303     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
304     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
305     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
306     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
307     with selections).
308    
309 root 1.168 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
310     - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
311     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
312     needs access to a local shell window).
313     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
314     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
315     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
316     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
317     a little window or so) would be welcome.
318     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
319     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
320     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
321     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
322     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
323     added there.
324     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
325     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
326     - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
327     - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
328     instead of being ignored.
329     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
330     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
331     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
332     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
333     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
334     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
335     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
336     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
337     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
338     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
339 root 1.194 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
340 root 1.168 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
341     needs testing anyways.
342     - more complete compile options help output.
343     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
344     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
345     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
346     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
347     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
348     - minor doc fix.
349 root 1.137
350 root 1.147 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
351     - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
352     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
353     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
354     - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
355     speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
356     memmove :)
357     - minor cleanups.
358     - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
359     (debian bug #169415).
360     - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
361     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
362     - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
363     - updated config.guess.
364    
365     3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
366 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
367     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
368     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
369     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
370     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
371     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
372     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
373     speeding up scrolling immensely.
374     - various other optimizations.
375 root 1.147 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
376 root 1.145
377     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
378 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
379     - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
380     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
381     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
382     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
383     Mikael Magnusson).
384     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
385     Mikael Magnusson).
386     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
387     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
388     - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
389 root 1.124
390     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
391     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
392     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
393     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
394     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
395     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
396     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
397     with ^V (SYN).
398     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
399    
400     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
401     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
402     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
403     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
404     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
405     well as with other terminal emulators.
406     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
407     (reported by elmex).
408     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
409     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
410     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
411     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
412     Bloch.
413    
414     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
415     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
416     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
417     sorry).
418     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
419     make it a little bit more correct c++).
420    
421 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
422     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
423     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
424     - minor i18n issue fixes.
425    
426 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
427     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
428     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
429     - fix some minor bugs.
430    
431 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
432 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
433     for the keymappings.
434 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
435     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
436 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
437     an extension and is slightly ugly.
438 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
439     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
440     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
441     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
442 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
443 pcg 1.108 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
444     overwritten (as is common).
445 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
446 pcg 1.108 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
447    
448     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
449     - minor doc corrections.
450     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
451     avoid clashes with xterm.
452     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
453 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
454     window colour when arg is "?".
455 pcg 1.108 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
456     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
457     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
458     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
459     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
460     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
461     (FRILLS).
462     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
463     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
464     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
465     - set _NET_WM_PID.
466    
467 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
468     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
469     - support more 8-bit controls.
470     - more informative error messages.
471     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
472     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
473     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
474     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
475     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
476    
477 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
478     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
479     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
480     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
481     - removed old selection style completely.
482     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
483     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
484     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
485     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
486     be used from within rxvt.
487     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
488    
489 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
490     - code cleanup release.
491     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
492     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
493     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
494     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
495     all files.
496     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
497     --enable-xgetdefaults.
498    
499 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
500     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
501     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
502     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
503     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
504     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
505     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
506     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
507     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
508 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
509     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
510 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
511     --disable-xgetdefault.
512     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
513     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
514     unicode character.
515     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
516     get it wrong.
517     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
518    
519 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
520     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
521     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
522     settings.
523     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
524     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
525     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
526     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
527     mbrtowc.
528     - more robust encoding name matching.
529     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
530     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
531     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
532     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
533     resources and docs.
534     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
535    
536 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
537     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
538     - some doc cleanup
539     - configure cleanup
540     - viscii enabled by default
541     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
542    
543     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
544     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
545    
546 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
547 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
548 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
549     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
550 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
551 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
552 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
553 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
554 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
555 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
556 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
557     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
558     reported by joel reed.
559 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
560 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
561 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
562     being selected.
563     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
564 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
565 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
566 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
567 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
568 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
569     contributed.
570 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
571 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
572 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
573 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
574 pcg 1.26
575 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
576 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
577     new bugs, this should not change much.
578 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
579 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
580 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
581     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
582 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
583     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
584 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
585 pcg 1.19
586 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
587     - further cleanups.
588     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
589 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
590 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
591     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
592     please drop me a note.
593 pcg 1.16
594 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
595 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
596     - blinking text.
597     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
598     normal text when colorBD is not set.
599 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
600     was never implemented
601 pcg 1.13
602 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
603 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
604 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
605 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
606     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
607 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
608 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
609 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
610 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
611 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
612     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
613 pcg 1.7
614 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
615 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
616     - small font tunings
617     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
618     - better error reporting for unknown options
619 pcg 1.1
620 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
621     - fix a bug in font height selection
622     - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
623     - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
624 pcg 1.108 - much faster x11 font selection
625 pcg 1.2
626     1.2 2003-12-24
627     - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
628     - better font matching
629     - better memory management (less memory)
630     - new fallback: gnu freefont
631    
632     1.1 2003-12-18
633     - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
634     - Support for non-utf-8-locales
635     - much improved font choosing
636    
637 pcg 1.1 1.0

639 root 1.194 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
640 pcg 1.4 - removed rclock et al.
641     - initial conversion to C++
642 root 1.194
