16 root 1.611 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
17 root 1.566 WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
18 root 1.582 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
19 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
20 root 1.346
21 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
22 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
23     generic osc_seq.
24 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
25     were invoked recursively.
26 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
27     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
28 root 1.661
29 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
30 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
31 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
32     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
33 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
34 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
35 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
36 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
37     refresh bugs please.
38 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
39 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
40     improve size hint setting.
41 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
42     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
43     to correctly position their preedit window.
44 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
45     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
46     in empts spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
47     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
48     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
49 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
50     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
51 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
52 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
53 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
54     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
55     (reported by Paco-Paco).
56 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
57     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
58 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
59 root 1.645
60 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
61 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
62 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
63     resource value.
64 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
65 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
66     relevant tab window.
67     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
68     (initial patch by hednod).
69 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
70     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
71 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
72     the benefit of automove-background.
73 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
74 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
75 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
76 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
77     __linux__.
78 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
79     the colour components.
80 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
81     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
82 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
83     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
84 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
85 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
86 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
87 root 1.617
88 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
89 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
90 root 1.609 detection:
91     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
92     - overlap detection was improved.
93     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
94     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
95     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
96     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
97     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
98     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
99     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
100     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
101 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
102     broken.
103     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
104 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
105     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
106 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
107 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
108 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
109 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
110 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
111     an "[alpha]" prefix.
112 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
113     transparent. Long Live Xft!
114     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
115     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
116 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
117     on a pseudocolor screen.
118 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
119     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
120     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
121     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
122     - small configure updates.
123 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
124 root 1.598
125 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
126 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
127     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
128 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
129     - fixed version options: line output.
130     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
131 root 1.593
132 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
133 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
134     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
135 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
136 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
137 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
138     selection extension.
139 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
140 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
141 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
142     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
143 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
144 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
145     needs the careful rendering mode.
146     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
147     too wide and needs careful mode.
148 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
149 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
150 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
151     atoms only once per display.
152 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
153 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
154     xterm.
155 root 1.570
156 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
157 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
158     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
159     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
160     ctrl-shift-672c).
161 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
162 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
163 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
164     the primary screen.
165 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
166     could lead to an assertion failure.
167 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
168 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
169     via mouse clicks.
170 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
171 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
172 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
173     in non-synthetic events.
174 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
175 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
176     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
177 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
178     whole urxvt[d] process.
179     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
180     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
181     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
182 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
183 root 1.552
184 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
185 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
186     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
187     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
188     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
189     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
190     special privileges.
191     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
192     itself.
193 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
194     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
195     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
196 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
197     similar stuff.
198 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
199 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
200     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
201 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
202     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
203     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
204     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
205     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
206     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
207 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
208     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
209 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
210 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
211     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
213     to set the window title.
214     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
215     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
216     at the wrong time.
217 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
218     anymore.
219 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
220 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
221 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
222 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
223     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
224 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
225 root 1.518
226 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
227 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
228 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
229 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
230     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
231 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
232     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
233 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
234     and much much more.
235 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
236 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
237 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
238 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
239     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
240 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
241 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
242 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
243 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
244 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
245 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
246 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
247 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
248 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
249     compatible, and not really small either.
250     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
251     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
252 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
253     to crashes.
254 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
255     colours.
256 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
257 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
258 root 1.493
259 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
260 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
261     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
262     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
263 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
264     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
265     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
266 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
267     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
268 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
269 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
270     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
271 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
272 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
273 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
274 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
275 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
276 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
277 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
278 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
279     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
280     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
281 root 1.474
282 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
283 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
284     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
285     Chuck Blake.
286 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
287     obscure the mouse cursor position.
288 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
289 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
290     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
291 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
292     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
293 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
294     transfer efficiency.
295 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
296 root 1.463
297 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
298 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
299 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
300     while the user still drags.
301 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
302     not drawn correctly.
303 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
304     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
305 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
306     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
307 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
308     stripping whitespace.
309 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
310 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
311 root 1.452
312 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
313 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
314 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
315 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
316     (also a bug in original rxvt).
317 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
318     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
319     partial patch).
320     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
321     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
322 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
323 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
324 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
325 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
326 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
327 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
328 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
329     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
330     - slight overall speed improvements.
331     - considerably improved code clarity.
332 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
333     buffer.
334 root 1.437
335 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
336 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
337     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
338     (matters only for rxvtd).
339 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
340 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
341 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
342 root 1.431
343 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
344 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
345 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
346     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
347     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
348     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
349     percentage by 100-percentage.
350     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
351     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
352     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
353     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
354     windows.
355     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
356     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.

362 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
363 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
364     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
365     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
366     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
367     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
368     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
369 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).

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

403     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
404     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
405 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
406 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).

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

425     a command.
426     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
427     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
428     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
429     in Perl/Gtk2.
430     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
431     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
432     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
433     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
434     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
435     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
436     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
437     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
438     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
439     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
440     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
441     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
442     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
443     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
444     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
445 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is

456     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
457     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
458     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
459     along with other, similar, cleanups.
460     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
461     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
462     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
463     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts

473     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for

495     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
496     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
497     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
498     (WU Fengguang).
499     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
500     examples (rxvt.1).
501     - removed src/test completely.

505 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
506     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
507     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
508     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
509     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
510     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
511     resulting in segfaults.
512     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
513     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
514     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
515     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
516     (Mikael Magnusson).
517     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
518     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
519     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
520     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
521     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
522     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
523     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
524     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
525     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
526     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
527     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
528     - initialize the locale much earlier.
529     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.

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

570     titles etc.
571     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
572     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
573     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
574     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
575     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
576     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
577     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
578     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
579     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
580     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
581     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
582     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.

626     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
627     ... terminated by a fix.
628     - new supported preeeditType "None".
629     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
630     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
631     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
632     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
633     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
634     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
635     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
636     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
637     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
638     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
639     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
640     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
641     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
642     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
643     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
644     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
645     in tracking this down.

658     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
659     - removed README.unicode.
660     - support select&paste of tab characters.
661     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
662     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
663     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
664     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
665     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
666     screen updates with curses.
667     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
668     by spaces.
669     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
670     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
671     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
672     is just too slow for this to work.
673     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
674     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
675     implement. use --enable-styles.
676     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
677     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
678     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
679     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
680     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
681     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
682 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
683 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
684     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
685     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
686     (only for non-bold right now).
687     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
688     - better default font size and style.
689     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
690     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
691     single character against the base font extents and will only
692     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
693     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
694     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
695     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
696     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
697     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
698     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
699     screen height.
700     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
701     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
702     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
703     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
704     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
705     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
706     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
707     - removed OSC 702.
708     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be

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

727     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
728 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
729 root 1.430 could not be created.
730     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
731     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
732     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
733     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
734     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
735     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
736     works.
737 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

742     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
743     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
744     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
745     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
746     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
747     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
748     with selections).

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