27 root 1.677 TODO: digital clock gets nuked after searching
28 root 1.680 TODO: investigate the color-management patch send ages ago, as well as other postings
29 root 1.679 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults, earlier
30     versions only read it if display-resources (usually from .Xresources)
31     are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my resource used") and
32     seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults resources have a lower
33     priority than display-specific resources.
34 root 1.678 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and Xft
35     (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
36     - the "depth" resource is now respected.
37 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
38 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
39     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
40 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
41     generic osc_seq.
42 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
43     were invoked recursively.
44 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
45     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
46 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
47 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
48     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
49     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
50 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
51     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
52     by omatunto_.
53 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
54     follow C++ closely enough.
55 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
56 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
57 root 1.661
58 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
59 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
60 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
61     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
62 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
63 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
64 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
65 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
66     refresh bugs please.
67 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
68 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
69     improve size hint setting.
70 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
71     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
72     to correctly position their preedit window.
73 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
74     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
75 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
76 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
77     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
78 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
79     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
80 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
81 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
82 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
83     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
84     (reported by Paco-Paco).
85 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
86     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
87 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
88 root 1.645
89 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
90 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
91 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
92     resource value.
93 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
94 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
95     relevant tab window.
96     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
97     (initial patch by hednod).
98 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
99     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
100 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
101     the benefit of automove-background.
102 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
103 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
104 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
105 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
106     __linux__.
107 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
108     the colour components.
109 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
110     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
111 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
112     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
113 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
114 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
115 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
116 root 1.617
117 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
118 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
119 root 1.609 detection:
120     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
121     - overlap detection was improved.
122     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
123     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
124     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
125     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
126     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
127     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
128     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
129     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
130 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
131     broken.
132     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
133 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
134     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
135 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
136 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
137 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
138 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
139 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
140     an "[alpha]" prefix.
141 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
142     transparent. Long Live Xft!
143     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
144     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
145 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
146     on a pseudocolor screen.
147 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
148     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
149     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
150     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
151     - small configure updates.
152 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
153 root 1.598
154 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
155 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
156     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
157 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
158     - fixed version options: line output.
159     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
160 root 1.593
161 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
162 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
163     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
164 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
165 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
166 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
167     selection extension.
168 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
169 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
170 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
171     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
172 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
173 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
174     needs the careful rendering mode.
175     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
176     too wide and needs careful mode.
177 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
178 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
179 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
180     atoms only once per display.
181 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
182 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
183     xterm.
184 root 1.570
185 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
186 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
187     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
188     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
189     ctrl-shift-672c).
190 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
191 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
192 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
193     the primary screen.
194 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
195     could lead to an assertion failure.
196 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
197 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
198     via mouse clicks.
199 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
200 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
201 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
202     in non-synthetic events.
203 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
204 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
205     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
206 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
207     whole urxvt[d] process.
208     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
209     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
210     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
211 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
212 root 1.552
213 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
214 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
215     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
216     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
217     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
218     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
219     special privileges.
220     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
221     itself.
222 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
223     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
224     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
225 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
226     similar stuff.
227 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
228 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
229     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
230 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
231     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
232     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
233     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
234     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
235     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
236 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
237     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
238 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
239 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
240     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
241 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
242     to set the window title.
243     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
244     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
245     at the wrong time.
246 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
247     anymore.
248 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
249 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
250 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
251 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
252     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
253 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
254 root 1.518
255 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
256 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
257 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
258 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
259     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
260 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
261     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
262 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
263     and much much more.
264 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
265 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
266 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
267 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
268     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
269 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
270 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
271 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
272 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
273 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
274 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
275 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
276 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
277 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
278     compatible, and not really small either.
279     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
280     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
281 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
282     to crashes.
283 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
284     colours.
285 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
286 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
287 root 1.493
288 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
289 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
290     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
291     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
292 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
293     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
294     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
295 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
296     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
297 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
298 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
299     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
300 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
301 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
302 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
303 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
304 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
305 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
306 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
307 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
308     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
309     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
310 root 1.474
311 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
312 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
313     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
314     Chuck Blake.
315 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
316     obscure the mouse cursor position.
317 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
318 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
319     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
320 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
321     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
322 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
323     transfer efficiency.
324 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
325 root 1.463
326 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
327 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
328 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
329     while the user still drags.
330 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
331     not drawn correctly.
332 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
333     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
334 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
335     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
336 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
337     stripping whitespace.
338 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
339 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
340 root 1.452
341 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
342 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
343 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
344 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
345     (also a bug in original rxvt).
346 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
347     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
348     partial patch).
349     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
350     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
351 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
352 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
353 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).

395     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
396     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines

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

446     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
447 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.

466     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
467     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
468     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
469     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).

538     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
539     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
540     resulting in segfaults.
541     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
542     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
543     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
544     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
545     (Mikael Magnusson).
546     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,

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

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

692     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save

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

713     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
714     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
715     (only for non-bold right now).
716     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
717     - better default font size and style.
718     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
719     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
720     single character against the base font extents and will only
721     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
722     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
723     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
724     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
725     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
726     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
727     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
728     screen height.
729     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
730     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
731     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
732     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
733     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
734     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
735     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
736     - removed OSC 702.

741     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
742 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
743     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
744 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
745 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
746     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
747     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
748     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
749     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
750     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
751     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
752     close).
753     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
754     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
755     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
756     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
757 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
758 root 1.430 could not be created.
759     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
760     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
761     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
762     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
763     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
764     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
765     works.
766 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
767 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
768     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
769     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
770     character is a sensible operation.
771     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
772     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
773     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
774     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
775     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
776     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
777     with selections).

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

924     window colour when arg is "?".
925     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
926     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
927     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
928     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
929     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only

997     mbrtowc.
998     - more robust encoding name matching.
999     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.

1020     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1021     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1022     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
