29 root 1.675 TODO: check wether -depth works as resource
30 root 1.677 TODO: digital clock gets nuked after searching
31     TODO: read .Xdefaults even when we have display resources, but give them lower priority
32 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
33 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
34     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
35 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
36     generic osc_seq.
37 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
38     were invoked recursively.
39 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
40     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
41 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
42 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
43     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
44     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
45 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
46     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
47     by omatunto_.
48 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
49     follow C++ closely enough.
50 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
51 root 1.677 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and Xft
52     (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
53 root 1.661
54 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
55 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
56 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
57     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
58 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
59 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
60 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
61 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
62     refresh bugs please.
63 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
64 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
65     improve size hint setting.
66 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
67     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
68     to correctly position their preedit window.
69 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
70     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
71 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
72 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
73     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
74 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
75     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
76 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
77 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
78 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
79     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
80     (reported by Paco-Paco).
81 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
82     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
83 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
84 root 1.645
85 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
86 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
87 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
88     resource value.
89 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
90 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
91     relevant tab window.
92     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
93     (initial patch by hednod).
94 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
95     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
96 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
97     the benefit of automove-background.
98 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
99 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
100 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
101 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
102     __linux__.
103 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
104     the colour components.
105 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
106     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
107 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
108     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
109 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
110 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
111 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
112 root 1.617
113 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
114 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
115 root 1.609 detection:
116     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
117     - overlap detection was improved.
118     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
119     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
120     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
121     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
122     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
123     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
124     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
125     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
126 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
127     broken.
128     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
129 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
130     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
131 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
132 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
133 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
134 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
135 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
136     an "[alpha]" prefix.
137 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
138     transparent. Long Live Xft!
139     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
140     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
141 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
142     on a pseudocolor screen.
143 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
144     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
145     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
146     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
147     - small configure updates.
148 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
149 root 1.598
150 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
151 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
152     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
153 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
154     - fixed version options: line output.
155     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
156 root 1.593
157 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
158 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
159     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
160 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
161 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
162 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
163     selection extension.
164 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
165 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
166 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
167     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
168 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
169 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
170     needs the careful rendering mode.
171     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
172     too wide and needs careful mode.
173 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
174 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
175 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
176     atoms only once per display.
177 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
178 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
179     xterm.
180 root 1.570
181 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
182 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
183     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
184     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
185     ctrl-shift-672c).
186 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
187 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
188 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
189     the primary screen.
190 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
191     could lead to an assertion failure.
192 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
193 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
194     via mouse clicks.
195 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
196 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
197 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
198     in non-synthetic events.
199 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
200 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
201     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
202 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
203     whole urxvt[d] process.
204     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
205     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
206     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
207 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
208 root 1.552
209 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
210 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
211     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
212     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
213     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
214     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
215     special privileges.
216     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
217     itself.
218 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
219     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
220     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
221 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
222     similar stuff.
223 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
224 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
225     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
226 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
227     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
228     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
229     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
230     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
231     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
232 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
233     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
234 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
235 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
236     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
237 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
238     to set the window title.
239     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
240     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
241     at the wrong time.
242 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
243     anymore.
244 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
245 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
246 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
247 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
248     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
249 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
250 root 1.518
251 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
252 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
253 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
254 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
255     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
256 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
257     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
258 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
259     and much much more.
260 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
261 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
262 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
263 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
264     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
265 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
266 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
267 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
268 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
269 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
270 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
271 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
272 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
273 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
274     compatible, and not really small either.
275     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
276     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
277 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
278     to crashes.
279 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
280     colours.
281 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
282 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
283 root 1.493
284 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
285 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
286     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
287     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
288 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
289     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
290     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
291 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
292     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
293 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
294 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
295     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
296 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
297 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
298 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
299 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
300 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
301 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
302 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
303 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
304     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
305     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
306 root 1.474
307 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
308 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
309     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
310     Chuck Blake.
311 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
312     obscure the mouse cursor position.
313 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
314 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
315     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
316 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
317     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
318 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
319     transfer efficiency.
320 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
321 root 1.463
322 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
323 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
324 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
325     while the user still drags.
326 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
327     not drawn correctly.
328 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
329     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
330 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
331     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
332 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
333     stripping whitespace.
334 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
335 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
336 root 1.452
337 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
338 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
339 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
340 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
341     (also a bug in original rxvt).
342 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
343     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
344     partial patch).
345     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
346     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
347 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
348 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
349 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
350 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
351 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
352 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
353 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
354     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.

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

537     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the

539     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
540     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom

603     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
604     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

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

688     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
689     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
690     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
691     screen updates with curses.
692     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
693     by spaces.
694     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
695     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
696     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
697     is just too slow for this to work.
698     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
699     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
700     implement. use --enable-styles.
701     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
702     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
703     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
704     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
705     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

709     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
710     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
711     (only for non-bold right now).
712     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
713     - better default font size and style.
714     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
715     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
716     single character against the base font extents and will only
717     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
718     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
719     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
720     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
721     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
722     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
723     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
724     screen height.
725     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.

727     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
728     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
729     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
730     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

741 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
742     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
743     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
744     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
745     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
746     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
747     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
748     close).
749     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
750     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
751     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
752     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
753 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
754 root 1.430 could not be created.
755     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
756     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
757     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
758     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
759     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
760     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
761     works.
762 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
763 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
764     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
765     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
766     character is a sensible operation.
767     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
768     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
769     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
770     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
771     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
772     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
773     with selections).
774 root 1.194
775 root 1.168 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
776 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
777     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
778     needs access to a local shell window).
779     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
780     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
781     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
782     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
783     a little window or so) would be welcome.
784     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
785     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
786     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
787     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
788     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
789     added there.
790     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
791     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
792 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
793 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
794     instead of being ignored.
795     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
796     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
797     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
798     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
799     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
800     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
801     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
802     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
803     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
804     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
805     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
806     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
807     needs testing anyways.
808     - more complete compile options help output.
809     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
810     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
811     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
812     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
813     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
814     - minor doc fix.

827     - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).

834     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
835     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
836     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
837     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
838     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
839     speeding up scrolling immensely.
840     - various other optimizations.

861     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
862 root 1.124 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it

865 root 1.124
866     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
867     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
868 root 1.430 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
869     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
870     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
871     well as with other terminal emulators.
872 root 1.124 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
873 root 1.430 (reported by elmex).
874     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
875     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
876     the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
877     - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
878     Bloch.
879 root 1.124
880     3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
881     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
882     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
883     sorry).
884     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should

899 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
900     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
901     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
902     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
903     an extension and is slightly ugly.
904 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and

919     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
920     window colour when arg is "?".
921     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
922     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
923     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
924     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
925     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
926     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
927     (FRILLS).
928     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.

939     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
940     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
941     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).

949     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
950     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
951     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
952     be used from within rxvt.
953     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).

970     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
971 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
972 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.

976     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
977     --disable-xgetdefault.
978     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
979     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific

981 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL

987 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
988     settings.
989     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
990     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
991     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
992     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
993     mbrtowc.
994     - more robust encoding name matching.
995     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
996     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
997     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
998     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated

1014 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1015     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1016     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1017     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1018     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1019     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1020     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1021     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1022     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1023     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1024     reported by joel reed.
1025     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1026     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1027     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1028     being selected.
1029     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1030     - removed greek support.
1031     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1032     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1033     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1034 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1035 root 1.430 contributed.
1036     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1037     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
