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 1.667 TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
22     TODO: kuake
23 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
24 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
25     generic osc_seq.
26 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
27     were invoked recursively.
28 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
29     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
30 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
31 root 1.661
32 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
33 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
34 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
35     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
36 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
37 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
38 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
39 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
40     refresh bugs please.
41 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
42 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
43     improve size hint setting.
44 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
45     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
46     to correctly position their preedit window.
47 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
48     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
49 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
50 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
51     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
52 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
53     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
54 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
55 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
56 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
57     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
58     (reported by Paco-Paco).
59 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
60     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
61 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
62 root 1.645
63 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
64 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
65 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
66     resource value.
67 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
68 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
69     relevant tab window.
70     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
71     (initial patch by hednod).
72 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
73     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
74 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
75     the benefit of automove-background.
76 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
77 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
78 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
79 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
80     __linux__.
81 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
82     the colour components.
83 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
84     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
85 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
86     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
87 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
88 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
89 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
90 root 1.617
91 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
92 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
93 root 1.609 detection:
94     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
95     - overlap detection was improved.
96     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
97     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
98     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
99     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
100     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
101     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
102     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
103     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
104 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
105     broken.
106     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
107 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
108     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
109 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
110 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
111 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
112 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
113 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
114     an "[alpha]" prefix.
115 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
116     transparent. Long Live Xft!
117     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
118     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
119 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
120     on a pseudocolor screen.
121 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
122     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
123     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
124     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
125     - small configure updates.
126 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
127 root 1.598
128 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
129 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
130     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
131 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
132     - fixed version options: line output.
133     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
134 root 1.593
135 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
136 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
137     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
138 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
139 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
140 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
141     selection extension.
142 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
143 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
144 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
145     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
146 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
147 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
148     needs the careful rendering mode.
149     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
150     too wide and needs careful mode.
151 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
152 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
153 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
154     atoms only once per display.
155 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
156 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
157     xterm.
158 root 1.570
159 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
160 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
161     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
162     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
163     ctrl-shift-672c).
164 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
165 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
166 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
167     the primary screen.
168 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
169     could lead to an assertion failure.
170 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
171 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
172     via mouse clicks.
173 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
174 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
175 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
176     in non-synthetic events.
177 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
178 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
179     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
180 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
181     whole urxvt[d] process.
182     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
183     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
184     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
185 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
186 root 1.552
187 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
188 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
189     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
190     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
191     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
192     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
193     special privileges.
194     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
195     itself.
196 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
197     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
198     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
199 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
200     similar stuff.
201 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
202 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
203     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
204 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
205     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
206     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
207     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
208     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
209     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
210 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
211     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
212 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
213 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
214     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
216     to set the window title.
217     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
218     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
219     at the wrong time.
220 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
221     anymore.
222 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
223 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
224 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
225 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
226     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
227 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
228 root 1.518
229 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
230 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
231 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
232 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
233     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
234 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
235     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
236 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
237     and much much more.
238 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
239 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
240 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
241 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
242     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
243 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
244 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
245 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
246 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
247 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
248 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
249 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
250 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
251 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
252     compatible, and not really small either.
253     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
254     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
255 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
256     to crashes.
257 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
258     colours.
259 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
260 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
261 root 1.493
262 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
263 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
264     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
265     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
266 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
267     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
268     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
269 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
270     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
271 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
272 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
273     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
274 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
275 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
276 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
277 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
278 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
279 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
280 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
281 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
282     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
283     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
284 root 1.474
285 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
286 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
287     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
288     Chuck Blake.
289 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
290     obscure the mouse cursor position.
291 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
292 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
293     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
294 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
295     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
296 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
297     transfer efficiency.
298 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
299 root 1.463
300 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
301 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
302 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
303     while the user still drags.
304 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
305     not drawn correctly.
306 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
307     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
308 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
309     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
310 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
311     stripping whitespace.
312 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
313 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
314 root 1.452
315 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
316 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
317 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
318 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
319     (also a bug in original rxvt).
320 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
321     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
322     partial patch).
323     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
324     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
325 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
326 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
327 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
328 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
329 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
330 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
331 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
332     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
333     - slight overall speed improvements.
334     - considerably improved code clarity.
335 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
336     buffer.
337 root 1.437
338 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
339 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
340     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
341     (matters only for rxvtd).
342 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
343 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
344 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
345 root 1.431
346 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
347 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
348 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
349     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
350     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
351     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
352     percentage by 100-percentage.
353     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
354     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
355     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
356     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other

358     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default

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

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

419 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
420     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
421 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.

429     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
430     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
431     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
432     in Perl/Gtk2.
433     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling

435     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
436     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
437     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
438     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
439     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
440     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
441     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
442     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
443     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
444     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
445     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
446     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to

460     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
461     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
462     along with other, similar, cleanups.
463     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
464     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).

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

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

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

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

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

718 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
719 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough

721     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
722     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
723     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
724     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
725     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
726     close).
727     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
728     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

731 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context

733     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
734     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
735     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
736     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
737     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
738     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually

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

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