19 root 1.582 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
20 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
21 root 1.346
22 root 1.667 TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
23     TODO: kuake
24 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
25 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
26     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
27 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
28     generic osc_seq.
29 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
30     were invoked recursively.
31 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
32     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
33 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
34 root 1.661
35 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
36 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
37 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
38     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
39 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
40 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
41 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
42 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
43     refresh bugs please.
44 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
45 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
46     improve size hint setting.
47 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
48     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
49     to correctly position their preedit window.
50 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
51     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
52 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
53 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
54     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
55 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
56     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
57 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
58 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
59 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
60     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
61     (reported by Paco-Paco).
62 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
63     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
64 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
65 root 1.645
66 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
67 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
68 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
69     resource value.
70 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
71 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
72     relevant tab window.
73     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
74     (initial patch by hednod).
75 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
76     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
77 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
78     the benefit of automove-background.
79 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
80 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
81 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
82 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
83     __linux__.
84 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
85     the colour components.
86 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
87     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
88 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
89     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
90 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
91 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
92 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
93 root 1.617
94 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
95 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
96 root 1.609 detection:
97     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
98     - overlap detection was improved.
99     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
100     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
101     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
102     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
103     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
104     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
105     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
106     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
107 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
108     broken.
109     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
110 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
111     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
112 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
113 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
114 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
115 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
116 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
117     an "[alpha]" prefix.
118 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
119     transparent. Long Live Xft!
120     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
121     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
122 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
123     on a pseudocolor screen.
124 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
125     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
126     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
127     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
128     - small configure updates.
129 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
130 root 1.598
131 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
132 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
133     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
134 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
135     - fixed version options: line output.
136     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
137 root 1.593
138 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
139 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
140     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
141 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
142 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
143 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
144     selection extension.
145 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
146 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
147 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
148     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
149 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
150 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
151     needs the careful rendering mode.
152     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
153     too wide and needs careful mode.
154 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
155 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
156 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
157     atoms only once per display.
158 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
159 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
160     xterm.
161 root 1.570
162 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
163 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
164     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
165     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
166     ctrl-shift-672c).
167 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
168 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
169 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
170     the primary screen.
171 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
172     could lead to an assertion failure.
173 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
174 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
175     via mouse clicks.
176 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
177 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
178 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
179     in non-synthetic events.
180 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
181 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
182     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
183 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
184     whole urxvt[d] process.
185     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
186     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
187     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
188 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
189 root 1.552
190 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
191 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
192     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
193     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
194     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
195     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
196     special privileges.
197     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
198     itself.
199 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
200     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
201     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
202 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
203     similar stuff.
204 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
205 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
206     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
207 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
208     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
209     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
210     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
211     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
212     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
213 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
214     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
215 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
216 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
217     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
218 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
219     to set the window title.
220     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
221     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
222     at the wrong time.
223 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
224     anymore.
225 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
226 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
227 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
228 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
229     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
230 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
231 root 1.518
232 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
233 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
234 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
235 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
236     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
237 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
238     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
239 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
240     and much much more.
241 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
242 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
243 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
244 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
245     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
246 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
247 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
248 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
249 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
250 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
251 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
252 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
253 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
254 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
255     compatible, and not really small either.
256     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
257     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
258 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
259     to crashes.
260 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
261     colours.
262 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
263 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
264 root 1.493
265 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
266 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
267     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
268     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
269 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
270     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
271     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
272 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
273     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
274 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
275 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
276     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
277 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
278 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
279 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
280 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
281 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
282 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
283 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
284 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
285     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
286     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
287 root 1.474
288 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
289 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
290     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
291     Chuck Blake.
292 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
293     obscure the mouse cursor position.
294 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
295 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
296     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
297 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
298     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
299 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
300     transfer efficiency.
301 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
302 root 1.463
303 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
304 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
305 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
306     while the user still drags.
307 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
308     not drawn correctly.
309 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
310     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
311 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
312     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
313 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
314     stripping whitespace.
315 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
316 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
317 root 1.452
318 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
319 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
320 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
321 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
322     (also a bug in original rxvt).
323 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
324     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
325     partial patch).
326     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
327     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
328 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
329 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
330 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
331 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
332 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
333 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
334 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
335     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
336     - slight overall speed improvements.
337     - considerably improved code clarity.
338 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
339     buffer.
340 root 1.437
341 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
342 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
343     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
344     (matters only for rxvtd).
345 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
346 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
347 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
348 root 1.431
349 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
350 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
351 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
352     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
353     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
354     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
355     percentage by 100-percentage.
356     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
357     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
358     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
359     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
360     windows.
361     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
362     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
363     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
364     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
365     - replaced INSTALL file.

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

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

418 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
419     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
420     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
421     with modifiers.
422 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
423     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
424 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.

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

462     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
463     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
464     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
465     along with other, similar, cleanups.
466     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
467     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
468     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

721 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
722 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
723     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
724     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
725     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
726     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
727     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
728     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
729     close).
730     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
731     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
732     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
733     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
734 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
735 root 1.430 could not be created.
736     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
737     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
738     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
739     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
740     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to

743 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

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

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