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.

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 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
25     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
26 root 1.699 - 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 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
30     bug #143985).
31 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
32 root 1.698
33 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
34     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
35 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
36 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
37     it does! :->
38 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
39 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
40 root 1.691
41 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
42 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
43     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
44     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
45     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
46     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
47 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
48     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
49 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
50     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
51 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
52 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
53     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
54     uppercase character.
55 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
56 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
57     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
58 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
59     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
60 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
61     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
62 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
63     generic osc_seq.
64 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
65     were invoked recursively.
66 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
67     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
68 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
69 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
70     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
71     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
72 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
73     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
74     by omatunto_.
75 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
76     follow C++ closely enough.
77 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
78 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
79 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
80     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
81 root 1.661
82 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
83 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
84 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
85     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
86 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
87 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
88 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
89 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
90     refresh bugs please.
91 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
92 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
93     improve size hint setting.
94 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
95     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
96     to correctly position their preedit window.
97 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
98     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
99 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
100 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
101     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
102 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
103     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
104 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
105 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
106 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
107     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
108     (reported by Paco-Paco).
109 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
110     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
111 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
112 root 1.645
113 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
114 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
115 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
116     resource value.
117 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
118 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
119     relevant tab window.
120     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
121     (initial patch by hednod).
122 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
123     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
124 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
125     the benefit of automove-background.
126 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
127 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
128 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
129 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
130     __linux__.
131 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
132     the colour components.
133 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
134     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
135 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
136     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
137 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
138 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
139 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
140 root 1.617
141 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
142 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
143 root 1.609 detection:
144     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
145     - overlap detection was improved.
146     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
147     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
148     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
149     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
150     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
151     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
152     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
153     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
154 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
155     broken.
156     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
157 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
158     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
159 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
160 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
161 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
162 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
163 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
164     an "[alpha]" prefix.
165 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
166     transparent. Long Live Xft!
167     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
168     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
169 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
170     on a pseudocolor screen.
171 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
172     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
173     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
174     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
175     - small configure updates.
176 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
177 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
178     the debian package.
179 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
180     but much newer than the old one.
181 root 1.598
182 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
183 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
184     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
185 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
186     - fixed version options: line output.
187     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
188 root 1.593
189 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
190 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
191     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
192 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
193 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
194 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
195     selection extension.
196 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
197 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
198 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
199     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
200 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
201 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
202     needs the careful rendering mode.
203     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
204     too wide and needs careful mode.
205 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
206 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
207 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
208     atoms only once per display.
209 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
210 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
211     xterm.
212 root 1.570
213 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
214 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
215     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
216     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
217     ctrl-shift-672c).
218 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
219 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
220 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
221     the primary screen.
222 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
223     could lead to an assertion failure.
224 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
225 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
226     via mouse clicks.
227 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
228 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
229 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
230     in non-synthetic events.
231 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
232 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
233     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
234 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
235     whole urxvt[d] process.
236     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
237     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
238     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
239 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
240 root 1.552
241 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
242 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
243     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
244     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
245     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
246     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
247     special privileges.
248     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
249     itself.
250 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
251     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
252     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
253 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
254     similar stuff.
255 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
256 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
257     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
258 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
259     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
260     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
261     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
262     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
263     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
264 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
265     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
266 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
267 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
268     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
269 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
270     to set the window title.
271     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
272     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
273     at the wrong time.
274 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
275     anymore.
276 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
277 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
278 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
279 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
280     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
281 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
282 root 1.518
283 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
284 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
285 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
286 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
287     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
288 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
289     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
290 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
291     and much much more.
292 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
293 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
294 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
295 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
296     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
297 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
298 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
299 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
300 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
301 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
302 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
303 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
304 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
305 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
306     compatible, and not really small either.
307     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
308     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
309 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
310     to crashes.
311 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
312     colours.
313 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
314 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
315 root 1.493
316 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
317 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
318     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
319     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
320 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
321     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
322     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
323 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
324     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
325 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
326 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
327     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
328 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
329 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
330 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
331 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
332 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
333 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
334 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
335 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
336     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
337     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
338 root 1.474
339 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
340 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
341     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
342     Chuck Blake.
343 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
344     obscure the mouse cursor position.
345 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
346 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
347     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
348 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
349     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
350 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
351     transfer efficiency.
352 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.

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

489     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
490     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt

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

516     along with other, similar, cleanups.
517     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
518     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).

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

600 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even

602     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
603     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
604     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
605     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
606     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
607     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
608     ignored.
609     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
610     instead.

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

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

722     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
723     screen updates with curses.
724     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced

726     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
727     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
728     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
729     is just too slow for this to work.

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

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