24 root 1.667 TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
25     TODO: kuake
26 root 1.671 TODO: depth resource not working(?)
27 root 1.672 TODO: fix the flaw in the url regex jost pointed out
28     TODO: look into the selection hilight patch
29 root 1.674 TODO: implement smartcase-like search in searchable-scrollback
30 root 1.675 TODO: check wether -depth works as resource
31 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
32 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
33     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
34 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
35     generic osc_seq.
36 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
37     were invoked recursively.
38 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
39     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
40 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
41 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
42     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
43     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
44 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
45     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
46     by omatunto_.
47 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
48     follow C++ closely enough.
49 root 1.661
50 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
51 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
52 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
53     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
54 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
55 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
56 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
57 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
58     refresh bugs please.
59 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
60 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
61     improve size hint setting.
62 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
63     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
64     to correctly position their preedit window.
65 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
66     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
67 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
68 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
69     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
70 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
71     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
72 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
73 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
74 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
75     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
76     (reported by Paco-Paco).
77 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
78     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
79 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
80 root 1.645
81 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
82 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
83 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
84     resource value.
85 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
86 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
87     relevant tab window.
88     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
89     (initial patch by hednod).
90 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
91     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
92 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
93     the benefit of automove-background.
94 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
95 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
96 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
97 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
98     __linux__.
99 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
100     the colour components.
101 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
102     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
103 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
104     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
105 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
106 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
107 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
108 root 1.617
109 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
110 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
111 root 1.609 detection:
112     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
113     - overlap detection was improved.
114     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
115     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
116     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
117     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
118     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
119     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
120     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
121     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
122 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
123     broken.
124     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
125 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
126     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
127 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
128 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
129 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
130 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
131 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
132     an "[alpha]" prefix.
133 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
134     transparent. Long Live Xft!
135     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
136     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
137 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
138     on a pseudocolor screen.
139 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
140     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
141     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
142     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
143     - small configure updates.
144 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
145 root 1.598
146 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
147 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
148     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
149 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
150     - fixed version options: line output.
151     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
152 root 1.593
153 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
154 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
155     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
156 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
157 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
158 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
159     selection extension.
160 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
161 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
162 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
163     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
164 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
165 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
166     needs the careful rendering mode.
167     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
168     too wide and needs careful mode.
169 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
170 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
171 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
172     atoms only once per display.
173 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
174 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
175     xterm.
176 root 1.570
177 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
178 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
179     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
180     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
181     ctrl-shift-672c).
182 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
183 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
184 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
185     the primary screen.
186 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
187     could lead to an assertion failure.
188 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
189 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
190     via mouse clicks.
191 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
192 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
193 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
194     in non-synthetic events.
195 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
196 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
197     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
198 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
199     whole urxvt[d] process.
200     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
201     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
202     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
203 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
204 root 1.552
205 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
206 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
207     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
208     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
209     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
210     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
211     special privileges.
212     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
213     itself.
214 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
215     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
216     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
217 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
218     similar stuff.
219 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
220 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
221     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
222 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
223     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
224     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
225     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
226     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
227     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
228 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
229     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
230 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
231 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
232     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
233 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
234     to set the window title.
235     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
236     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
237     at the wrong time.
238 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
239     anymore.
240 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
241 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
242 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
243 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
244     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
245 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
246 root 1.518
247 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
248 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
249 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
250 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
251     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
252 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
253     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
254 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
255     and much much more.
256 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
257 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
258 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
259 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
260     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
261 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
262 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
263 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
264 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
265 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
266 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
267 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
268 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
269 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
270     compatible, and not really small either.
271     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
272     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
273 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
274     to crashes.
275 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
276     colours.
277 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
278 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
279 root 1.493
280 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
281 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
282     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
283     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
284 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
285     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
286     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
287 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
288     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
289 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
290 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
291     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
292 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
293 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
294 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
295 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
296 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
297 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
298 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
299 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
300     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
301     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
302 root 1.474
303 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
304 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
305     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
306     Chuck Blake.
307 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
308     obscure the mouse cursor position.
309 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
310 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
311     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
312 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
313     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
314 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
315     transfer efficiency.
316 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
317 root 1.463
318 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
319 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
320 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
321     while the user still drags.
322 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
323     not drawn correctly.
324 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
325     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
326 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
327     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
328 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
329     stripping whitespace.
330 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
331 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
332 root 1.452
333 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
334 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
335 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
336 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
337     (also a bug in original rxvt).
338 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
339     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
340     partial patch).
341     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
342     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
343 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
344 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
345 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
346 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
347 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
348 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
349 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
350     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
351     - slight overall speed improvements.
352     - considerably improved code clarity.
353 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
354     buffer.
355 root 1.437

388     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines

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

530     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
531     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
532     resulting in segfaults.
533     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
534     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
535     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
536     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
537     (Mikael Magnusson).
538     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
539     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a

541     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).

567     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
568     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
569     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
570     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child

596     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
597     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
598     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
599     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
600     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
601     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
602     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

651     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
652     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
653     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
654     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
655     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
656     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
657     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
658     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
659     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
660     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
661     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
662     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
663     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
664     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
665     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

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

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

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

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

918     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
