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 1.671 TODO: depth resource not working(?)
25 root 1.672 TODO: fix the flaw in the url regex jost pointed out
26     TODO: look into the selection hilight patch
27 root 1.674 TODO: implement smartcase-like search in searchable-scrollback
28 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
29 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
30     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
31 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
32     generic osc_seq.
33 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
34     were invoked recursively.
35 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
36     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
37 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
38 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
39     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
40     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
41 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
42     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
43     by omatunto_.
44 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
45     follow C++ closely enough.
46 root 1.661
47 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
48 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
49 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
50     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
51 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
52 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
53 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
54 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
55     refresh bugs please.
56 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
57 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
58     improve size hint setting.
59 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
60     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
61     to correctly position their preedit window.
62 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
63     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
64 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
65 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
66     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
67 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
68     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
69 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
70 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
71 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
72     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
73     (reported by Paco-Paco).
74 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
75     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
76 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
77 root 1.645
78 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
79 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
80 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
81     resource value.
82 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
83 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
84     relevant tab window.
85     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
86     (initial patch by hednod).
87 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
88     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
89 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
90     the benefit of automove-background.
91 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
92 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
93 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
94 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
95     __linux__.
96 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
97     the colour components.
98 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
99     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
100 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
101     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
102 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
103 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
104 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
105 root 1.617
106 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
107 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
108 root 1.609 detection:
109     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
110     - overlap detection was improved.
111     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
112     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
113     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
114     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
115     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
116     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
117     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
118     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
119 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
120     broken.
121     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
122 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
123     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
124 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
125 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
126 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
127 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
128 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
129     an "[alpha]" prefix.
130 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
131     transparent. Long Live Xft!
132     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
133     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
134 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
135     on a pseudocolor screen.
136 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
137     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
138     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
139     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
140     - small configure updates.
141 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
142 root 1.598
143 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
144 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
145     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
146 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
147     - fixed version options: line output.
148     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
149 root 1.593
150 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
151 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
152     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
153 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
154 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
155 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
156     selection extension.
157 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
158 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
159 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
160     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
161 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
162 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
163     needs the careful rendering mode.
164     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
165     too wide and needs careful mode.
166 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
167 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
168 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
169     atoms only once per display.
170 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
171 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
172     xterm.
173 root 1.570
174 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
175 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
176     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
177     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
178     ctrl-shift-672c).
179 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
180 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
181 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
182     the primary screen.
183 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
184     could lead to an assertion failure.
185 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
186 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
187     via mouse clicks.
188 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
189 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
190 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
191     in non-synthetic events.
192 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
193 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
194     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
195 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
196     whole urxvt[d] process.
197     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
198     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
199     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
200 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
201 root 1.552
202 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
203 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
204     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
205     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
206     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
207     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
208     special privileges.
209     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
210     itself.
211 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
212     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
213     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
214 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
215     similar stuff.
216 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
217 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
218     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
219 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
220     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
221     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
222     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
223     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
224     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
225 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
226     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
227 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
228 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
229     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
231     to set the window title.
232     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
233     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
234     at the wrong time.
235 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
236     anymore.
237 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
238 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
239 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
240 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
241     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
242 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
243 root 1.518
244 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
245 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
246 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
247 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
248     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
249 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
250     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
251 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
252     and much much more.
253 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
254 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
255 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
256 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
257     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
258 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
259 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
260 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
261 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
262 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
263 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
264 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
266 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
267     compatible, and not really small either.
268     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
269     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
270 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
271     to crashes.
272 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
273     colours.
274 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
275 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
276 root 1.493
277 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
278 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
279     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
280     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
281 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
282     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
283     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
284 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
285     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
286 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
287 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
288     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
289 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
290 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
291 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
292 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
293 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
294 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
295 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
296 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
297     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
298     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
299 root 1.474
300 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
301 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
302     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
303     Chuck Blake.
304 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
305     obscure the mouse cursor position.
306 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
307 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
308     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
309 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
310     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
311 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
312     transfer efficiency.
313 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
314 root 1.463
315 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
316 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
317 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
318     while the user still drags.
319 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
320     not drawn correctly.
321 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
322     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
323 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
324     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
325 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
326     stripping whitespace.
327 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
328 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
329 root 1.452
330 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
331 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
332 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
333 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
334     (also a bug in original rxvt).
335 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
336     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
337     partial patch).
338     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
339     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
340 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
341 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
342 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
343 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
344 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
345 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
346 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
347     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
348     - slight overall speed improvements.
349     - considerably improved code clarity.
350 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
351     buffer.
352 root 1.437
353 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
354 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
355     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
356     (matters only for rxvtd).

368     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
369     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
370     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
371     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
372     windows.
373     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default

383     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
384     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
385     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines

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

430 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
431     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
432     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons

434 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
435     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
436 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.

445     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
446     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
447     in Perl/Gtk2.
448     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling

451     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
452     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
453     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
454     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
455     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
456     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
457     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
458     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
459     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
460     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
461     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to

477     along with other, similar, cleanups.
478     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
479     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).

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

561 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even

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

588     titles etc.
589     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
590     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
591     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
592     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
593     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
594     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
595     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
596     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
597     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
598     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
599     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
600     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.

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

676     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
677     - removed README.unicode.
678     - support select&paste of tab characters.
679     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
680     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
681     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
682     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
683     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
684     screen updates with curses.
685     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
686     by spaces.
687     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
688     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
689     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
690     is just too slow for this to work.
691     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
692     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
693     implement. use --enable-styles.
694     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
695     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
696     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
697     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
698     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
699     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
700 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
701 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
702     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
703     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
704     (only for non-bold right now).
705     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
706     - better default font size and style.
707     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
708     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
709     single character against the base font extents and will only
710     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
711     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
712     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
713     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
714     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
715     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
716     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
717     screen height.
718     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
719     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
720     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
721     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
722     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
723     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
724     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
725     - removed OSC 702.
726     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be

737     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
738     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
739     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
740     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
741     close).
742     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
743     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
744     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
745     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
746 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
747 root 1.430 could not be created.
748     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
749     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
750     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
751     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
752     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
753     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
754     works.
755 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
756 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
757     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
758     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
759     character is a sensible operation.
760     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
761     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
762     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
763     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
764     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
765     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
766     with selections).

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