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

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

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

604     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
605     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
606     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding

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

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

710     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
711     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
712     (only for non-bold right now).
713     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
714     - better default font size and style.
715     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
716     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
717     single character against the base font extents and will only
718     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
719     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
720     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
721     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
722     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
723     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
724     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
725     screen height.
726     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
727     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
728     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
729     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
730     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
731     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

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

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

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

863 root 1.124 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it

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

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

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

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

950     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
951     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
952     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
953     be used from within rxvt.

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

977     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
978     --disable-xgetdefault.

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

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

1015 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1016     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1017     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1018     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1019     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1020     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1021     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1022     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.

1024     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1025     reported by joel reed.
1026     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).

1028     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1029     being selected.
1030     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1031     - removed greek support.
1032     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1033     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1034     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1035 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1036 root 1.430 contributed.
1037     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
