22    
23 root 1.422 5.8
24 root 1.421 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
25     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
26     percentage by 100-percentage.
27     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
28 root 1.418 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
29     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
30     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
31     windows.
32 root 1.423 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
33     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
34 root 1.424 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
35    
36 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
37 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
38 root 1.414 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
39 root 1.413 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
40     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
41     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
42 root 1.415 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
43     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
44     refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt).
45 root 1.411
46 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
47 root 1.401 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
48 root 1.402 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
49     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
50     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
51     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
52     Affects display in iso14755 box.
53 root 1.403 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
54     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
55     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
56 root 1.404 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
57     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
58     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
59     cutting pieces off of characters.
60     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
61 root 1.410 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
62 root 1.407 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
63     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
64 root 1.408 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
65 root 1.409 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
66     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
67 root 1.399
68 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
69 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
70     a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
71     meaning of the given key.
72 root 1.395 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
73     (patch by Martin Edlman).
74 root 1.394
75 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
76     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
77     this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
78     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
79     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
80     - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
81     - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
82     - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
83     to disble it.
84    
85 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
86     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
87     escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
88     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
89     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
90     with modifiers.
91 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
92     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
93 root 1.390 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
94 root 1.391 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
95     and clear the scrollback buffer.
96 root 1.389
97 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
98 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
99     that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
100     a command.
101 root 1.383 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
102 root 1.386 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
103     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
104     in Perl/Gtk2.
105 root 1.388 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
106 root 1.385 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
107     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
108 root 1.374 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
109     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
110     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
111 root 1.379 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
112 root 1.376 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
113     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
114     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
115     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
116 root 1.379 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
117     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
118 root 1.383 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
119     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
120 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
121     of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
122     rxvt-unicode).
123     - get rid of the intpro files.
124 root 1.373
125 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
126 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
127     for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
128     (Kuang-che Wu).
129 root 1.368 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
130 root 1.371 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
131 root 1.372 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
132 root 1.363 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
133 root 1.365 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
134     along with other, similar, cleanups.
135 root 1.369 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
136 root 1.370 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
137 root 1.371 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
138     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
139     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
140 root 1.370 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
141 root 1.361
142 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
143     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
144     - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
145     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
146     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
147     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
148     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
149     his patience and time in tracking this down).
150     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
151     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
152     - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
153     - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
154     by Joël Riou).
155     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
156     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
157     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
158     - shaved off some code segment size.
159     - various code cleanups.
160     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
161    
162 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
163     - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
164     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
165     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
166     -pixmap is active.
167     - new option/resource imFont.
168     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
169     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
170     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
171     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
172     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
173     (WU Fengguang).
174     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
175     examples (rxvt.1).
176     - removed src/test completely.
177     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
178 root 1.287
179 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
180     - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
181     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
182     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
183     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
184     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
185     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
186     resulting in segfaults.
187     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
188     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
189     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
190     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
191     (Mikael Magnusson).
192     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
193     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
194     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
195 root 1.360 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
196 root 1.331 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
197     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
198     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
199     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
200     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
201     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
202     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
203     - initialize the locale much earlier.
204     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
205    
206 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
207     - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
208     black on initial startup.
209     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
210     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
211     - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
212     - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
213     additional multimedia keys.
214     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
215     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
216    
217 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
218 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
219 root 1.293 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
220 root 1.296 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
221     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
222 root 1.298 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
223 root 1.296 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
224 root 1.300 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
225     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
226     ignored.
227 root 1.302 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
228     instead.
229 root 1.303 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
230     (reported by hednod).
231 root 1.302 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
232     - fix atom name enumeration.
233 root 1.291
234 root 1.290 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
235     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
236 root 1.289 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
237     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
238     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
239     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
240 root 1.288
241     4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
242 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
243     - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
244     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
245     titles etc.
246     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
247     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
248     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
249     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
250     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
251     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
252     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
253     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
254     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
255     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
256     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
257     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
258     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
259     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
260 root 1.272
261 root 1.274 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
262     - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
263     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
264     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
265     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
266     thoroughly.
267     - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
268     now, too.
269    
270 root 1.272 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
271 root 1.287 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
272 root 1.272 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
273     on high-latency networks.
274     - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
275     in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
276     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
277     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
278     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
279     by Gunnar Ritter.
280     - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
281     or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
282 root 1.252
283 root 1.263 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
284     - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
285     -ssc/-ssr settings.
286     - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
287     programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
288     - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
289     - add compile fix for darwin.
290     - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
291     - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
292     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
293    
294 root 1.252 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
295     - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
296     - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
297     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
298     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
299     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
300     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
301     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
302     ... terminated by a fix.
303     - new supported preeeditType "None".
304     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
305     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
306     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
307     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
308     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
309     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
310     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
311     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
312     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
313     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
314     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
315     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
316     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
317     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
318     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
319     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
320     in tracking this down.
321     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
322     make install) with the correct program name and other info.
323    
324     3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
325     - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
326     many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
327 root 1.236
328     3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
329     - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
330     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
331     installed if tic is available.
332     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
333     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
334     - removed README.unicode.
335     - support select&paste of tab characters.
336     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
337     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
338     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
339     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
340     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
341     screen updates with curses.
342     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
343     by spaces.
344     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
345     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
346     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
347     is just too slow for this to work.
348     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
349     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
350     implement. use --enable-styles.
351     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
352     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
353     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
354     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
355     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
356     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
357     - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
358     monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
359     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
360     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
361     (only for non-bold right now).
362     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
363     - better default font size and style.
364     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
365     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
366     single character against the base font extents and will only
367     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
368     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
369     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
370     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
371     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
372     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
373     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
374     screen height.
375     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
376     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
377     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
378     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
379     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
380     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
381     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
382     - removed OSC 702.
383     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
384     confused by it rather than using it.
385 root 1.168
386 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
387     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
388     - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
389     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
390     - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
391     due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
392     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
393     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
394     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
395     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
396     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
397     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
398     close).
399     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
400 root 1.400 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
401 root 1.194 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
402     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
403     - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
404     could not be created.
405     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
406     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
407     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
408     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
409     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
410     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
411     works.
412     - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
413     - document more escape sequences.
414     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
415     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
416     character is a sensible operation.
417     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
418     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
419     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
420     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
421     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
422     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
423     with selections).
424    
425 root 1.168 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
426     - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
427     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
428     needs access to a local shell window).
429     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
430     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
431     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
432     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
433     a little window or so) would be welcome.
434     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
435     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
436     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
437     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
438     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
439     added there.
440     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
441     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
442     - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
443     - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
444     instead of being ignored.
445     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
446     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
447     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
448     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
449     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
450     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
451     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
452     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
453     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
454     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
455 root 1.194 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
456 root 1.168 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
457     needs testing anyways.
458     - more complete compile options help output.
459     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
460     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
461     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
462     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
463     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
464     - minor doc fix.

466 root 1.147 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
467     - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
468     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
469     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
470     - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
471     speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
472     memmove :)
473     - minor cleanups.
474     - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
475     (debian bug #169415).
476     - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
477     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
478     - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
479     - updated config.guess.

481     3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
482 root 1.145 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
483     - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
484     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
485     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
486     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
487     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
488     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
489     speeding up scrolling immensely.
490     - various other optimizations.
491 root 1.147 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
492 root 1.145
493     3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
494 root 1.137 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).

496     - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
497     - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
498     - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
499     Mikael Magnusson).
500     - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
501     Mikael Magnusson).
502     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
503     - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).

505 root 1.124
506     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
507     - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
508     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
509     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
510     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
511     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
512     - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
513     with ^V (SYN).
514     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
515    
516     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
517     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
518     as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
519     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
520     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
521     well as with other terminal emulators.
522     - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
523     (reported by elmex).
524     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
525     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
526     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
527     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
528     Bloch.
529    
530     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
531     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
532     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
533     sorry).
534     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
535     make it a little bit more correct c++).
536    
537 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
538     - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
539     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
540     - minor i18n issue fixes.
541    
542 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004

544     - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
545     - fix some minor bugs.
546    
547 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
548 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
549     for the keymappings.
550 pcg 1.108 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
551     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
552 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
553     an extension and is slightly ugly.
554 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
555     replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
556     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
557     - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
558 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
559 pcg 1.108 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
560     overwritten (as is common).
561 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.

563    
564     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
565     - minor doc corrections.
566     - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
567     avoid clashes with xterm.
568     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
569 root 1.363 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
570     window colour when arg is "?".
571 pcg 1.108 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
572     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
573     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
574     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
575     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
576     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
577     (FRILLS).
578     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
579     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
580     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
581     - set _NET_WM_PID.
582    
583 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
584     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
585     - support more 8-bit controls.
586     - more informative error messages.
587     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
588     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
589     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
590     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
591     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
592    
593 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
594     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
595     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
596     - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
597     - removed old selection style completely.
598     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
599     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
600     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
601     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
602     be used from within rxvt.
603     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
604    
605 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
606     - code cleanup release.
607     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
608     - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
609     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
610     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
611     all files.
612     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
613     --enable-xgetdefaults.
614    
615 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
616     - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
617     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
618     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
619     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
620     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
621     - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
622     - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
623     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
624 pcg 1.83 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
625     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
626 pcg 1.69 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
627     --disable-xgetdefault.
628     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
629     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
630     unicode character.
631     - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
632     get it wrong.
633     - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
634    
635 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
636     - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
637     this version, see README.configure if you want the old
638     settings.
639     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
640     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
641     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
642     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
643     mbrtowc.
644     - more robust encoding name matching.
645     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
646     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
647     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
648     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
649     resources and docs.
650     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
651    
652 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
653     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
654     - some doc cleanup
655     - configure cleanup
656     - viscii enabled by default
657     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
658    
659     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
660     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
661    
662 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
663 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
664 pcg 1.27 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
665     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
666 pcg 1.28 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
667 pcg 1.38 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
668 pcg 1.28 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
669 pcg 1.32 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
670 pcg 1.37 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
671 pcg 1.31 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
672 pcg 1.33 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
673     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
674     reported by joel reed.
675 pcg 1.35 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
676 pcg 1.40 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
677 pcg 1.35 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
678     being selected.
679     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
680 pcg 1.34 - removed greek support.
681 pcg 1.36 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
682 pcg 1.39 - correct cursor width if !focus.
683 pcg 1.41 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
684 pcg 1.42 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
685     contributed.
686 pcg 1.43 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
687 pcg 1.44 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
688 pcg 1.45 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
689 pcg 1.39 - many other minor bugfixes.
690 pcg 1.26
691 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
692 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
693     new bugs, this should not change much.
694 pcg 1.20 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
695 pcg 1.21 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
696 pcg 1.22 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
697     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
698 pcg 1.23 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
699     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
700 pcg 1.24 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
701 pcg 1.19
702 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
703     - further cleanups.
704     - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
705 pcg 1.108 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
706 pcg 1.18 use reverse video, not _blink_.
707     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
708     please drop me a note.
709 pcg 1.16
710 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
711 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
712     - blinking text.
713     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
714     normal text when colorBD is not set.
715 pcg 1.108 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
716     was never implemented
717 pcg 1.13
718 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
719 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
720 pcg 1.12 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
721 pcg 1.8 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
722     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
723 pcg 1.12 reported by fefe
724 pcg 1.8 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
725 pcg 1.12 Markus Demleitner
726 pcg 1.9 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
727 pcg 1.12 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
728     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
729 pcg 1.7
730 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
731 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
