5 root 1.590 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
6 root 1.582 TODO: split perl documentation and urxvt.pm into separate files
7 root 1.435 TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
8 root 1.640 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
9 root 1.287 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
10 root 1.641 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
11 root 1.644 TODO: default selection should handle = better
12 root 1.660 TODO: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
13 root 1.659 WISH: skipscroll option
14     WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
15 root 1.611 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
16 root 1.566 WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
17 root 1.582 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
18 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
19 root 1.346
20 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
21 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
22     generic osc_seq.
23 root 1.661
24 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
25 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
26 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
27     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
28 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
29 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
30 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
31 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
32     refresh bugs please.
33 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
34 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
35     improve size hint setting.
36 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
37     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
38     to correctly position their preedit window.
39 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
40     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
41     in empts spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
42     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
43     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
44 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
45     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
46 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
47 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
48 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
49     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
50     (reported by Paco-Paco).
51 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
52     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
53 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
54 root 1.645
55 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
56 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
57 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
58     resource value.
59 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
60 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
61     relevant tab window.
62     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
63     (initial patch by hednod).
64 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
65     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
66 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
67     the benefit of automove-background.
68 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
69 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
70 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
71 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
72     __linux__.
73 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
74     the colour components.
75 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
76     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
77 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
78     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
79 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
80 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
81 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
82 root 1.617
83 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
84 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
85 root 1.609 detection:
86     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
87     - overlap detection was improved.
88     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
89     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
90     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
91     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
92     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
93     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
94     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
95     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
96 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
97     broken.
98     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
99 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
100     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
101 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
102 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
103 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
104 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
105 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
106     an "[alpha]" prefix.
107 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
108     transparent. Long Live Xft!
109     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
110     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
111 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
112     on a pseudocolor screen.
113 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
114     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
115     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
116     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
117     - small configure updates.
118 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
119 root 1.598
120 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
121 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
122     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
123 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
124     - fixed version options: line output.
125     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
126 root 1.593
127 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
128 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
129     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
130 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
131 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
132 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
133     selection extension.
134 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
135 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
136 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
137     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
138 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
139 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
140     needs the careful rendering mode.
141     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
142     too wide and needs careful mode.
143 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
144 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
145 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
146     atoms only once per display.
147 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
148 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
149     xterm.
150 root 1.570
151 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
152 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
153     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
154     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
155     ctrl-shift-672c).
156 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
157 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
158 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
159     the primary screen.
160 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
161     could lead to an assertion failure.
162 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
163 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
164     via mouse clicks.
165 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
166 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
167 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
168     in non-synthetic events.
169 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
170 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
171     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
172 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
173     whole urxvt[d] process.
174     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
175     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
176     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
177 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
178 root 1.552
179 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
180 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
181     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
182     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
183     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
184     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
185     special privileges.
186     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
187     itself.
188 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
189     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
190     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
191 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
192     similar stuff.
193 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
194 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
195     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
196 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
197     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
198     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
199     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
200     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
201     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
202 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
203     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
204 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
205 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
206     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
207 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
208     to set the window title.
209     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
210     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
211     at the wrong time.
212 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
213     anymore.
214 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
215 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
216 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
217 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
218     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
219 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
220 root 1.518
221 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
222 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
223 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
224 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
225     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
226 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
227     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
228 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
229     and much much more.
230 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
231 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
232 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
233 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
234     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
235 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
236 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
237 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
238 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
239 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
240 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
241 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
242 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
243 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
244     compatible, and not really small either.
245     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
246     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
247 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
248     to crashes.
249 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
250     colours.
251 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
252 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
253 root 1.493
254 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
255 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
256     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
257     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
258 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
259     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
260     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
261 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
262     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
263 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
264 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
265     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
266 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
267 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
268 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
269 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
270 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
271 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
272 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
273 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
274     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
275     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
276 root 1.474
277 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
278 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
279     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
280     Chuck Blake.
281 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
282     obscure the mouse cursor position.
283 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
284 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
285     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
286 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
287     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
288 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
289     transfer efficiency.
290 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
291 root 1.463
292 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
293 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
294 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
295     while the user still drags.
296 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
297     not drawn correctly.
298 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
299     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
300 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
301     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
302 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
303     stripping whitespace.
304 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
305 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
306 root 1.452
307 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
308 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
309 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
310 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
311     (also a bug in original rxvt).
312 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
313     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
314     partial patch).
315     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
316     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
317 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
318 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
319 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
320 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
321 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
322 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
323 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
324     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
325     - slight overall speed improvements.
326     - considerably improved code clarity.
327 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
328     buffer.
329 root 1.437
330 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
331 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
332     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
333     (matters only for rxvtd).
334 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
335 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
336 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
337 root 1.431
338 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
339 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
340 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
341     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
342     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
343     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
344     percentage by 100-percentage.
345     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
346     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
347     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
348     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
349     windows.
350     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
351     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
352     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
353     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
354     - replaced INSTALL file.
355    
356 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005

358 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
359     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
360     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
361     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
362     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
363     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
364 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).

367 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
368     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
369     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
370     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
371     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
372     Affects display in iso14755 box.
373     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
374     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
375     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
376     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
377     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
378     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
379     cutting pieces off of characters.
380     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
381     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
382     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
383     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
384     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
385     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).

407 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
408     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
409     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
410     with modifiers.
411 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
412     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
413 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.

420     a command.
421     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
422     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
423     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
424     in Perl/Gtk2.
425     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
426     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
427     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
428     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
429     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
430     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
431     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
432     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
433     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
434     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
435     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
436     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
437     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
438     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to

452     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
453     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
454     along with other, similar, cleanups.
455     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
456     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
457     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more

501     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
502     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
503     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
504     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
505     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
506     resulting in segfaults.
507     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
508     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
509     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
510     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
511     (Mikael Magnusson).
512     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
513     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
514     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
515     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
516     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
517     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
518     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
519     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
520     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
521     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
522     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

540     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
541     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
542     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
543     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
544     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
545     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
546     ignored.
547     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID

567     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
568     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
569     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
570     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
571     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
572     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
573     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
574     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
575     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
576     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

625     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
626     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
627     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
628     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
629     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
630     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
631     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
632     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
633     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
634     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
635     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
636     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
637     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
638     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
639     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

655     - support select&paste of tab characters.
656     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

658     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
659     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
660     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
661     screen updates with curses.
662     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
663     by spaces.
664     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
665     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
666     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
667     is just too slow for this to work.
668     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
669     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
670     implement. use --enable-styles.
671     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
672     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
673     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
674     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
675     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
676     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
677 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is

679     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
680     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
681     (only for non-bold right now).
682     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
683     - better default font size and style.
684     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
685     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
686     single character against the base font extents and will only
687     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
688     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
689     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
690     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
691     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
692     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
693     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
694     screen height.
695     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
696     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
697     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
698     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
699     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
700     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
701     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
702     - removed OSC 702.
703     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be

710 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
711 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
712     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
713     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
714     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
715     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
716     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
717     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
718     close).
719     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
720     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

722     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
723 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context

725     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
726     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
727     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
728     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
729     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
730     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
731     works.
732 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

737     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
738     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
739     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
740     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
741     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

746 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
747     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
748     needs access to a local shell window).
749     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
750     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
751     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
752     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
753     a little window or so) would be welcome.
754     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
755     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
756     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
757     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
758     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
759     added there.
760     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
761     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
762 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
763 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
764     instead of being ignored.
765     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
766     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
767     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
768     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
769     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
770     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
771     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
772     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
773     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
774     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
775     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
776     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
777     needs testing anyways.
778     - more complete compile options help output.
779     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
780     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
781     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
782     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
783     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>

891     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
892     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
893     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
894     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
