1 root 1.462 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2    
3 root 1.650 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4 root 1.549 TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
5 root 1.669 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6 root 1.590 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7 root 1.640 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8 root 1.287 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9 root 1.641 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10 root 1.689 TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14 root 1.694 TODO: zeroing scorllback buffer should free memory
15 root 1.659 WISH: skipscroll option
16 root 1.671 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
17 root 1.659 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
18 root 1.611 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
19 root 1.566 WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
20 root 1.690 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
21 root 1.694 WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
22 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
23 root 1.346
24 root 1.694 - hopefully fix the crashing bug people encounter with 7.8
25     (triggered by using transparency + perl). Likely fixes debian bug #380348.
26 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
27     it does! :->
28 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
29 root 1.691
30 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
31 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
32     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
33     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
34     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
35     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
36 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
37     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
38 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
39     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
40 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
41 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
42     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
43     uppercase character.
44 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
45 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
46     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
47 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
48     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
49 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
50     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
51 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
52     generic osc_seq.
53 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
54     were invoked recursively.
55 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
56     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
57 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
58 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
59     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
60     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
61 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
62     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
63     by omatunto_.
64 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
65     follow C++ closely enough.
66 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
67 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
68 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
69     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
70 root 1.661
71 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
72 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
73 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
74     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
75 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
76 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
77 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
78 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
79     refresh bugs please.
80 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
81 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
82     improve size hint setting.
83 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
84     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
85     to correctly position their preedit window.
86 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
87     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
88 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
89 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
90     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
91 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
92     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
93 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
94 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
95 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
96     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
97     (reported by Paco-Paco).
98 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
99     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
100 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
101 root 1.645
102 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
103 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
104 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
105     resource value.
106 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
107 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
108     relevant tab window.
109     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
110     (initial patch by hednod).
111 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
112     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
113 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
114     the benefit of automove-background.
115 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
116 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
117 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
118 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
119     __linux__.
120 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
121     the colour components.
122 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
123     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
124 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
125     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
126 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
127 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
128 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
129 root 1.617
130 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
131 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
132 root 1.609 detection:
133     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
134     - overlap detection was improved.
135     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
136     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
137     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
138     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
139     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
140     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
141     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
142     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
143 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
144     broken.
145     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
146 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
147     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
148 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
149 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
150 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
151 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
152 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
153     an "[alpha]" prefix.
154 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
155     transparent. Long Live Xft!
156     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
157     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
158 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
159     on a pseudocolor screen.
160 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
161     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
162     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
163     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
164     - small configure updates.
165 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
166 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
167     the debian package.
168 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
169     but much newer than the old one.
170 root 1.598
171 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
172 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
173     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
174 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
175     - fixed version options: line output.
176     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
177 root 1.593
178 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
179 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
180     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
181 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
182 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
183 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
184     selection extension.
185 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
186 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
187 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
188     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
189 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
190 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
191     needs the careful rendering mode.
192     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
193     too wide and needs careful mode.
194 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
195 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
196 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
197     atoms only once per display.
198 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
199 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
200     xterm.
201 root 1.570
202 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
203 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
204     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
205     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
206     ctrl-shift-672c).
207 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
208 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
209 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
210     the primary screen.
211 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
212     could lead to an assertion failure.
213 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
214 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
215     via mouse clicks.
216 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
217 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
218 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
219     in non-synthetic events.
220 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
221 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
222     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
223 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
224     whole urxvt[d] process.
225     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
226     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
227     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
228 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
229 root 1.552
230 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
231 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
232     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
233     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
234     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
235     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
236     special privileges.
237     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
238     itself.
239 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
240     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
241     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
242 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
243     similar stuff.
244 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
245 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
246     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
247 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
248     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
249     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
250     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
251     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
252     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
253 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
254     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
255 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
256 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
257     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
258 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
259     to set the window title.
260     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
261     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
262     at the wrong time.
263 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
264     anymore.
265 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
266 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
267 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
268 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
269     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
270 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
271 root 1.518
272 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
273 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
274 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
275 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
276     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
277 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
278     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
279 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
280     and much much more.
281 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
282 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
283 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
284 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
285     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
286 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
287 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
288 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
289 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
290 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
291 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
292 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
293 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
294 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
295     compatible, and not really small either.
296     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
297     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
298 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
299     to crashes.
300 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
301     colours.
302 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
303 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
304 root 1.493
305 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
306 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
307     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
308     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
309 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
310     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
311     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
312 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
313     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
314 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
315 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
316     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
317 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
318 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
319 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
320 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
321 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
322 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
323 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
324 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
325     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
326     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
327 root 1.474
328 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
329 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
330     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
331     Chuck Blake.
332 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
333     obscure the mouse cursor position.
334 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
335 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
336     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
337 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
338     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
339 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
340     transfer efficiency.
341 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
342 root 1.463
343 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
344 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
345 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
346     while the user still drags.
347 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
348     not drawn correctly.
349 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
350     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
351 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
352     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
353 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for

420     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
421     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
422     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
423     Affects display in iso14755 box.
424     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
425     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
426     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
427     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
428     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
429     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
430     cutting pieces off of characters.
431     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
432     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
433     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
434     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).

463     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
464 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.

474     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
475     in Perl/Gtk2.
476     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling

481     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
482     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
483     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
484     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
485     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
486     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
487     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help

554     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
555     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
556     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
557     resulting in segfaults.
558     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
559     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
560     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
561     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
562     (Mikael Magnusson).
563     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
564     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a

566     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).

568     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
569     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
570     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
571     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
572     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
573     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

591     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
592     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
593     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
594     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
595     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child

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

676     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
677     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
678     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
679     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
680     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
681     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
682     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
683     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
684     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
685     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
686     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
687     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
688     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
689     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
690     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

709     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
710     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
711     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
712     screen updates with curses.
713     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
714     by spaces.
715     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
716     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
717     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
718     is just too slow for this to work.
719     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
720     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
721     implement. use --enable-styles.
722     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
723     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
724     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
725     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
726     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

730     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
731     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
732     (only for non-bold right now).
733     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
734     - better default font size and style.
735     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
736     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
737     single character against the base font extents and will only
738     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
739     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
740     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
741     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
742     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
743     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
744     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
745     screen height.
746     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
747     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
748     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
749     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
750     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
751     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
752     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
753     - removed OSC 702.
754     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
755     confused by it rather than using it.

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

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