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

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.

25 root 1.699 TODO: fix crash because strwidth returning -1 in selection-popup in LC_ALL=C
26     - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
27     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
28 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
29     working directory (reported by Roland Baer).
30     - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
31 root 1.698
32 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
33     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
34 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
35 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
36     it does! :->
37 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
38 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
39 root 1.691
40 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
41 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
42     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
43     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
44     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
45     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
46 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
47     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
48 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
49     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
50 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
51 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
52     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
53     uppercase character.
54 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
55 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
56     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
57 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
58     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
59 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
60     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
61 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
62     generic osc_seq.
63 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
64     were invoked recursively.
65 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
66     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
67 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
68 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
69     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
70     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
71 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
72     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
73     by omatunto_.
74 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
75     follow C++ closely enough.
76 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
77 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
78 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
79     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
80 root 1.661
81 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
82 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
83 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
84     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
85 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
86 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
87 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
88 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
89     refresh bugs please.
90 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
91 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
92     improve size hint setting.
93 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
94     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
95     to correctly position their preedit window.
96 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
97     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
98 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
99 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
100     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
101 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
102     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
103 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
104 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
105 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
106     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
107     (reported by Paco-Paco).
108 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
109     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
110 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
111 root 1.645
112 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
113 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
114 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
115     resource value.
116 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
117 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
118     relevant tab window.
119     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
120     (initial patch by hednod).
121 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
122     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
123 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
124     the benefit of automove-background.
125 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
126 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
127 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
128 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
129     __linux__.
130 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
131     the colour components.
132 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
133     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
134 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
135     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
136 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
137 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
138 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
139 root 1.617
140 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
141 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
142 root 1.609 detection:
143     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
144     - overlap detection was improved.
145     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
146     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
147     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
148     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
149     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
150     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
151     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
152     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
153 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
154     broken.
155     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
156 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
157     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
158 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
159 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
160 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
161 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
162 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
163     an "[alpha]" prefix.
164 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
165     transparent. Long Live Xft!
166     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
167     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
168 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
169     on a pseudocolor screen.
170 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
171     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
172     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
173     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
174     - small configure updates.
175 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
176 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
177     the debian package.
178 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
179     but much newer than the old one.
180 root 1.598
181 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
182 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
183     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
184 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
185     - fixed version options: line output.
186     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
187 root 1.593
188 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
189 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
190     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
191 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
192 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
193 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
194     selection extension.
195 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
196 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
197 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
198     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
199 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
200 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
201     needs the careful rendering mode.
202     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
203     too wide and needs careful mode.
204 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
205 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
206 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
207     atoms only once per display.
208 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
209 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
210     xterm.
211 root 1.570
212 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
213 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
214     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
215     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
216     ctrl-shift-672c).
217 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
218 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
219 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
220     the primary screen.
221 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
222     could lead to an assertion failure.
223 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
224 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
225     via mouse clicks.
226 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
227 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
228 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
229     in non-synthetic events.
230 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
231 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
232     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
233 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
234     whole urxvt[d] process.
235     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
236     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
237     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
238 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
239 root 1.552
240 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
241 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
242     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
243     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
244     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
245     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
246     special privileges.
247     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
248     itself.
249 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
250     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
251     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
252 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
253     similar stuff.
254 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
255 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
256     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
257 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
258     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
259     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
260     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
261     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
262     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
263 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
264     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
265 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
266 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
267     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
268 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
269     to set the window title.
270     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
271     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
272     at the wrong time.
273 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
274     anymore.
275 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
276 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
277 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
278 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
279     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
280 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
281 root 1.518
282 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
283 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
284 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
285 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
286     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
287 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
288     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
289 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
290     and much much more.
291 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
292 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
293 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
294 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
295     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
296 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
297 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
298 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
299 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
300 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
301 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
302 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
303 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
304 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
305     compatible, and not really small either.
306     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
307     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
308 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
309     to crashes.
310 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
311     colours.
312 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
313 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
314 root 1.493
315 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
316 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
317     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
318     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
319 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
320     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
321     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
322 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
323     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
324 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
325 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
326     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
327 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
328 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
329 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
330 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
331 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
332 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
333 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
334 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
335     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
336     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
337 root 1.474
338 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
339 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
340     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
341     Chuck Blake.
342 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
343     obscure the mouse cursor position.
344 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
345 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
346     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
347 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
348     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
349 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
350     transfer efficiency.
351 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.

407     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
408     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is

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

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

488     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
489     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
490     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
491     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
492     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
493     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
494     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
495     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
496     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
497     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
498     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
499     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
500     not destroy the window for other types of messages.

515     along with other, similar, cleanups.
516     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
517     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
518     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more

529     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for

551     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
552     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
553     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch

562     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
563     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
564     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
565     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
566     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
567     resulting in segfaults.
568     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
569     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
570     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
571     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
572     (Mikael Magnusson).
573     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
574     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
575     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
576     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
577     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
578     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
579     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
580     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
581     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
582     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
583     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
584     - initialize the locale much earlier.

599 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
600 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
601     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
602     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
603     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
604     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
605     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
606     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
607     ignored.
608     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
609     instead.
610     - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed

626     titles etc.
627     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
628     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
629     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
630     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
631     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
632     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
633     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
634     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
635     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
636     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
637     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
638     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.

682     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
683     ... terminated by a fix.
684     - new supported preeeditType "None".
685     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
686     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
687     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
688     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
689     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
690     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
691     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
692     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
693     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
694     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
695     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
696     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
697     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
698     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
699     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
700     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

721     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
722     screen updates with curses.
723     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
724     by spaces.
725     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
726     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
727     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
728     is just too slow for this to work.

735     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
736     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
737     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
738 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
739 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
740     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
741     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
742     (only for non-bold right now).
743     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
744     - better default font size and style.
745     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
746     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
747     single character against the base font extents and will only
748     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
749     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
750     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
751     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
752     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
753     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
754     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
755     screen height.
756     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
757     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
758     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
759     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
760     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
761     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
762     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
763     - removed OSC 702.
764     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
765     confused by it rather than using it.
766 root 1.168
767 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
768     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
769 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
770     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
771 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
772 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
773     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
774     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
775     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
776     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
777     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
778     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
779     close).
780     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
781     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
782     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
783     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
784 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
785 root 1.430 could not be created.
786     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
787     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
788     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
789     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
790     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
791     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
792     works.
793 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
794 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
795     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
796     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
797     character is a sensible operation.
798     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
799     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
800     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
801     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
802     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
803     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
804     with selections).

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

952     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
953     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
