14 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
15     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
16     this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
17     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
18     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
19     - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
20     - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
21     - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
22     to disble it.
23    
24 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
25     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
26     escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
27     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
28     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
29     with modifiers.
30 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
31     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
32 root 1.390 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
33 root 1.391 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
34     and clear the scrollback buffer.
35 root 1.389
36 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
37 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
38     that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
39     a command.
40 root 1.383 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
41 root 1.386 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
42     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
43     in Perl/Gtk2.
44 root 1.388 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
45 root 1.385 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
46     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
47 root 1.374 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
48     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
49     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
50 root 1.379 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
51 root 1.376 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
52     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
53     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
54     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
55 root 1.379 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
56     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
57 root 1.383 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
58     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
59 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
60     of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
61     rxvt-unicode).
62     - get rid of the intpro files.
63 root 1.373
64 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
65 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
66     for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
67     (Kuang-che Wu).
68 root 1.368 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
69 root 1.371 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
70 root 1.372 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
71 root 1.363 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
72 root 1.365 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
73     along with other, similar, cleanups.
74 root 1.369 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
75 root 1.370 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
76 root 1.371 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
77     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
78     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
79 root 1.370 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
80 root 1.361
81 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
82     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
83     - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
84     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
85     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
86     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
87     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
88     his patience and time in tracking this down).
89     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
90     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
91     - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
92     - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
93     by Joël Riou).
94     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
95     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
96     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
97     - shaved off some code segment size.
98     - various code cleanups.
99     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
100    
101 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
102     - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
103     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
104     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
105     -pixmap is active.
106     - new option/resource imFont.
107     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
108     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
109     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
110     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
111     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
112     (WU Fengguang).
113     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
114     examples (rxvt.1).
115     - removed src/test completely.
116     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
117 root 1.287
118 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
119     - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
120     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
121     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
122     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
123     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
124     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
125     resulting in segfaults.
126     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
127     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
128     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
129     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
130     (Mikael Magnusson).
131     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
132     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
133     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
134 root 1.360 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
135 root 1.331 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
136     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
137     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
138     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
139     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
140     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
141     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
142     - initialize the locale much earlier.
143     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
144    
145 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
146     - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
147     black on initial startup.
148     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
149     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
150     - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
151     - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
152     additional multimedia keys.
153     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
154     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
155    
156 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
157 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
158 root 1.293 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
159 root 1.296 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
160     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
161 root 1.298 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
162 root 1.296 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
163 root 1.300 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
164     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
165     ignored.
166 root 1.302 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
167     instead.
168 root 1.303 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
169     (reported by hednod).
170 root 1.302 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
171     - fix atom name enumeration.
172 root 1.291
173 root 1.290 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
174     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
175 root 1.289 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
176     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
177     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
178     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
179 root 1.288
180     4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
181 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
182     - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
183     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
184     titles etc.
185     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
186     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
187     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
188     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
189     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
190     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
191     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
192     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
193     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
194     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
195     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
196     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
197     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
198     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
199 root 1.272
200 root 1.274 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
201     - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
202     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
203     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
204     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
205     thoroughly.
206     - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
207     now, too.
208    
209 root 1.272 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
210 root 1.287 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
211 root 1.272 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
212     on high-latency networks.
213     - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
214     in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
215     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
216     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
217     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
218     by Gunnar Ritter.
219     - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
220     or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
221 root 1.252
222 root 1.263 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
223     - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
224     -ssc/-ssr settings.
225     - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
226     programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
227     - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
228     - add compile fix for darwin.
229     - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
230     - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
231     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
232    
233 root 1.252 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
234     - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
235     - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
236     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
237     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
238     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
239     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
240     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
241     ... terminated by a fix.
242     - new supported preeeditType "None".
243     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
244     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
245     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
246     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
247     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
248     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
249     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
250     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
251     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
252     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
253     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
254     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
255     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
256     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
257     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
258     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
259     in tracking this down.
260     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
261     make install) with the correct program name and other info.
262    
263     3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
264     - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
265     many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
266 root 1.236
267     3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
268     - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
269     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
270     installed if tic is available.
271     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
272     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
273     - removed README.unicode.
274     - support select&paste of tab characters.
275     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
276     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
277     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
278     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
279     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
280     screen updates with curses.
281     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
282     by spaces.
283     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
284     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
285     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
286     is just too slow for this to work.
287     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
288     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
289     implement. use --enable-styles.
290     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
291     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
292     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
293     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
294     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
295     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
296     - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
297     monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
298     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
299     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
300     (only for non-bold right now).
301     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
302     - better default font size and style.
303     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
304     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
305     single character against the base font extents and will only
306     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
307     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
308     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
309     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
310     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
311     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
312     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
313     screen height.
314     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
315     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
316     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
317     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
318     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
319     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
320     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
321     - removed OSC 702.
322     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
323     confused by it rather than using it.
324 root 1.168
325 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
326     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
327     - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
328     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
329     - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
330     due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
331     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
332     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
333     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
334     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
335     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
336     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
337     close).
338     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
339     not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
340     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
341     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
342     - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
343     could not be created.
344     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
345     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
346     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
347     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
348     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
349     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
350     works.
351     - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
352     - document more escape sequences.
353     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
354     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
355     character is a sensible operation.
356     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
357     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
358     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
359     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
360     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
361     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
362     with selections).
363    
364 root 1.168 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
365     - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
366     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
367     needs access to a local shell window).
368     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
369     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
370     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
371     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
372     a little window or so) would be welcome.
373     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
374     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
375     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
376     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
377     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
378     added there.
379     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
380     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
381     - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
382     - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
383     instead of being ignored.
384     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
385     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
386     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
387     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
388     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
389     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
390     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
391     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
392     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
393     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
394 root 1.194 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
395 root 1.168 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
396     needs testing anyways.
397     - more complete compile options help output.
398     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
399     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
400     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
401     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
402     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
403     - minor doc fix.
404 root 1.137
405 root 1.147 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
406     - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
407     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
408     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
409     - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
410     speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
411     memmove :)
412     - minor cleanups.
413     - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
414     (debian bug #169415).
415     - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
416     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
417     - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
418     - updated config.guess.
419    
420     3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
421 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
422     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
423     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
424     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
425     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
426     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
427     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
428     speeding up scrolling immensely.
429     - various other optimizations.
430 root 1.147 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
431 root 1.145
432     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
433 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
434     - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
435     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
436     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
437     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
438     Mikael Magnusson).
439     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
440     Mikael Magnusson).
441     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
442     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
443     - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
444 root 1.124
445     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
446     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
447     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
448     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
449     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
450     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
451     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
452     with ^V (SYN).
453     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
454    
455     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
456     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
457     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
458     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
459     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
460     well as with other terminal emulators.
461     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
462     (reported by elmex).
463     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
464     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
465     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
466     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
467     Bloch.
468    
469     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
470     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
471     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
472     sorry).
473     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
474     make it a little bit more correct c++).
475    
476 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
477     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
478     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
479     - minor i18n issue fixes.
480    
481 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
482     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
483     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
484     - fix some minor bugs.
485    
486 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
487 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
488     for the keymappings.
489 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
490     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
491 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
492     an extension and is slightly ugly.
493 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
494     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
495     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
496     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
497 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
498 pcg 1.108 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
499     overwritten (as is common).
500 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
501 pcg 1.108 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
502    
503     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
504     - minor doc corrections.
505     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
506     avoid clashes with xterm.
507     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
508 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
509     window colour when arg is "?".
510 pcg 1.108 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
511     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
512     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
513     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
514     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
515     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
516     (FRILLS).
517     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
518     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
519     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
520     - set _NET_WM_PID.
521    
522 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
523     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
524     - support more 8-bit controls.
525     - more informative error messages.
526     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
527     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
528     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
529     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
530     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
531    
532 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
533     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
534     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
535     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
536     - removed old selection style completely.
537     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
538     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
539     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
540     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
541     be used from within rxvt.
542     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
543    
544 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
545     - code cleanup release.
546     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
547     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
548     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
549     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
550     all files.
551     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
552     --enable-xgetdefaults.
553    
554 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
555     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
556     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
557     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
558     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
559     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
560     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
561     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
562     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
563 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
564     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
565 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
566     --disable-xgetdefault.
567     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
568     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
569     unicode character.
570     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
571     get it wrong.
572     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
573    
574 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
575     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
576     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
577     settings.
578     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
579     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
580     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
581     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
582     mbrtowc.
583     - more robust encoding name matching.
584     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
585     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
586     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
587     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
588     resources and docs.
589     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
590    
591 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
592     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
593     - some doc cleanup
594     - configure cleanup
595     - viscii enabled by default
596     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
597    
598     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
599     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
600    
601 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
602 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
603 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
604     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
605 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
606 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
607 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
608 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
609 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
610 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
611 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
612     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
613     reported by joel reed.
614 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
615 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
616 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
617     being selected.
618     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
619 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
620 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
621 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
622 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
623 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
624     contributed.
625 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
626 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
627 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
628 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
629 pcg 1.26
630 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
631 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
632     new bugs, this should not change much.
633 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
634 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
635 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
636     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
637 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
638     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
639 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
640 pcg 1.19
641 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
642     - further cleanups.
643     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
644 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
645 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
646     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
647     please drop me a note.
648 pcg 1.16
649 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
650 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
651     - blinking text.
652     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
653     normal text when colorBD is not set.
654 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
655     was never implemented
656 pcg 1.13
657 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
658 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
659 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
660 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
661     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
662 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
663 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
664 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
665 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
666 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
667     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
668 pcg 1.7
669 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
670 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
671     - small font tunings
672     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
673     - better error reporting for unknown options
674 pcg 1.1
675 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
676     - fix a bug in font height selection
