39     TODO: http://triplefusion.net/system/macosx-clipboard
40 root 1.722 8.
41     - secondaryScroll is now enable by default (as per the manpage),
42     reported by exg.
43 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
44 root 1.722
45 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
46 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
47     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
48     circumstances (reported by exg).
49 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
50     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
51 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
52     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
53 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
54     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
55 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
56     - update to libptytty-1.0.
57 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
58     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
59 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
60 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
61 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
62     bug #143985).
63 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
64 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
65     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
66 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
67 root 1.698
68 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
69     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
70 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
71 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
72     it does! :->
73 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
74 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
75 root 1.691
76 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
77 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
78     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
79     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
80     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
81     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
82 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
83     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
84 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
85     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
86 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
87 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
88     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
89     uppercase character.
90 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
91 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
92     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
93 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
94     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
95 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
96     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
97 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
98     generic osc_seq.
99 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
100     were invoked recursively.
101 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
102     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
103 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
104 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
105     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
106     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
107 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
108     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
109     by omatunto_.
110 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
111     follow C++ closely enough.
112 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
113 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
114 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
115     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
116 root 1.661
117 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
118 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
119 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
120     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
121 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
122 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
123 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
124 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
125     refresh bugs please.
126 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
127 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
128     improve size hint setting.
129 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
130     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
131     to correctly position their preedit window.
132 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
133     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
134 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
135 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
136     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
137 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
138     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
139 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
140 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
141 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
142     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
143     (reported by Paco-Paco).
144 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
145     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
146 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
147 root 1.645
148 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
149 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
150 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
151     resource value.
152 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
153 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
154     relevant tab window.
155     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
156     (initial patch by hednod).
157 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
158     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
159 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
160     the benefit of automove-background.
161 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
162 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
163 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
164 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
165     __linux__.
166 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
167     the colour components.
168 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
169     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
170 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
171     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
172 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
173 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
174 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
175 root 1.617
176 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
177 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
178 root 1.609 detection:
179     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
180     - overlap detection was improved.
181     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
182     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
183     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
184     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
185     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
186     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
187     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
188     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
189 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
190     broken.
191     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
192 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
193     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
194 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
195 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
196 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
197 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
198 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
199     an "[alpha]" prefix.
200 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
201     transparent. Long Live Xft!
202     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
203     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
204 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
205     on a pseudocolor screen.
206 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
207     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
208     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
209     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
210     - small configure updates.
211 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
212 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
213     the debian package.
214 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
215     but much newer than the old one.
216 root 1.598
217 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
218 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
219     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
220 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
221     - fixed version options: line output.
222     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
223 root 1.593
224 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
225 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
226     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
227 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
228 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
229 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
230     selection extension.
231 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
232 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
233 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
234     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
235 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
236 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
237     needs the careful rendering mode.
238     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
239     too wide and needs careful mode.
240 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
241 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
242 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
243     atoms only once per display.
244 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
245 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
246     xterm.
247 root 1.570
248 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
249 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
250     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
251     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
252     ctrl-shift-672c).
253 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
254 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
255 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
256     the primary screen.
257 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
258     could lead to an assertion failure.
259 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
260 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
261     via mouse clicks.
262 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
263 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
264 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
265     in non-synthetic events.
266 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
267 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
268     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
269 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
270     whole urxvt[d] process.
271     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
272     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
273     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
274 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
275 root 1.552
276 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
277 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
278     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
279     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
280     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
281     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
282     special privileges.
283     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
284     itself.
285 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
286     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
287     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
288 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
289     similar stuff.
290 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
291 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
292     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
293 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
294     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
295     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
296     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
297     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
298     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
299 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
300     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
301 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
302 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
303     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
304 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
305     to set the window title.
306     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
307     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
308     at the wrong time.
309 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
310     anymore.
311 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
312 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
313 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
314 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
315     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
316 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
317 root 1.518
318 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
319 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
320 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
321 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
322     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
323 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
324     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
325 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
326     and much much more.
327 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
328 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
329 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
330 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
331     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
332 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
333 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
334 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
335 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
336 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
337 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
338 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
339 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
340 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
341     compatible, and not really small either.
342     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
343     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
344 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
345     to crashes.
346 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
347     colours.
348 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
349 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

352 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
353     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
354     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
355 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
356     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
357     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
358 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
359     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
360 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
361 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
362     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
363 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
364 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
365 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
366 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
367 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
368 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
369 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
370 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
371     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
372     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
373 root 1.474
374 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
375 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
376     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
377     Chuck Blake.
378 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
379     obscure the mouse cursor position.
380 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
381 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
382     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
383 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
384     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
385 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
386     transfer efficiency.

391 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
392     while the user still drags.
393 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
394     not drawn correctly.
395 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
396     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
397 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
398     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
399 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
400     stripping whitespace.
401 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.

407 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
408     (also a bug in original rxvt).
409 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
410     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
411     partial patch).
412     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
413     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
414 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.

416 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
417 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
418 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
419 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
420 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
421     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
422     - slight overall speed improvements.
423     - considerably improved code clarity.
424 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback

429     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
430     (matters only for rxvtd).
431 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
432 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return

436 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
437 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
438     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
439     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
440     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
441     percentage by 100-percentage.
442     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
443     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
444     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
445     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
446     windows.
447     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
448     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
449     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
450     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
451     - replaced INSTALL file.
452    
453 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
454 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
455 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
456     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
457     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
458     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
459     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
460     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
461 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
462 root 1.411
463 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
464 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
465     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
466     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
467     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
468     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
469     Affects display in iso14755 box.
470     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
471     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
472     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
473     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
474     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
475     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
476     cutting pieces off of characters.
477     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
478     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
479     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
480     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
481     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
482     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
483     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
484 root 1.399
485 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
486 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
487 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
488     meaning of the given key.
489     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
490     (patch by Martin Edlman).
491 root 1.394
492 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
493     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
494 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
495     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
496     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
497 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
498 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
499 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
500 root 1.433 to disable it.
501 root 1.393
502 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
503     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
504 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
505     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
506     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
507     with modifiers.
508 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
509     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
510 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
511     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
512     and clear the scrollback buffer.
513 root 1.389
514 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
515 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
516 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
517     a command.
518     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
519     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
520     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
521     in Perl/Gtk2.
522     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
523     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
524     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
525     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
526     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
527     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
528     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
529     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
530     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
531     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
532     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
533     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
534     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
535     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
536     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
537 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
538 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
539     rxvt-unicode).
540     - get rid of the intpro files.
541 root 1.373
542 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
543 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
544 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
545     (Kuang-che Wu).
546     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
547     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
548     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
549     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
550     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
551     along with other, similar, cleanups.
552     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
553     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
554     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
555     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
556     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
557     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
558 root 1.361
559 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
560     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
561 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
562     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
563     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
564     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
565     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
566     his patience and time in tracking this down).
567     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
568     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
569 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
570 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
571     by Joël Riou).
572     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
573     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
574     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
575     - shaved off some code segment size.
576     - various code cleanups.
577     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
578 root 1.360
579 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
580 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
581     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
582     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
583     -pixmap is active.
584     - new option/resource imFont.
585     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
586     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
587     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
588     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
589     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
590     (WU Fengguang).
591     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
592     examples (rxvt.1).
593     - removed src/test completely.
594     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
595 root 1.287
596 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
597 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
598     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
599     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
600     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
601     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
602     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
603     resulting in segfaults.
604     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
605     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
606     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
607     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
608     (Mikael Magnusson).
609     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
610     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
611     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
612     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
613     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
614     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
615     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
616     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
617     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
618     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
619     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
620     - initialize the locale much earlier.
621     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
622 root 1.331
623 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
624 root 1.430 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
625     black on initial startup.
626     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
627     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
628 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
629 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
630     additional multimedia keys.
631     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
632     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
633 root 1.312
634 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
635 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
636 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
637     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
638     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
639     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
640     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
641     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
642     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
643     ignored.
644     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
645     instead.
646     - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
647     (reported by hednod).
648     - fix an unlikely memory leak.
649     - fix atom name enumeration.
650 root 1.291

652     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
653 root 1.430 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
654     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
655     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
656     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
657 root 1.288
658     4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
659 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
660 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
661     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
662     titles etc.
663     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
664     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
665     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
666     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
667     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
668     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
669     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
670     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
671     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
672     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
673     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
674     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
675     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
676     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.

678 root 1.274 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
679 root 1.430 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
680     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
681     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
682     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them

693     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
694     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
695     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
696     by Gunnar Ritter.

713 root 1.430 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
714     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
715     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
716     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
717     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
718     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
719     ... terminated by a fix.
720     - new supported preeeditType "None".
721     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
722     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
723     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
724     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
725     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
726     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
727     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
728     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
729     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
730     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
731     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
732     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
733     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
734     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
735     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
736     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
737     in tracking this down.
738     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
739     make install) with the correct program name and other info.

746 root 1.430 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
747     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
748     installed if tic is available.
749     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
750     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
751     - removed README.unicode.
752     - support select&paste of tab characters.
753     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
754     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
755     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
756     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
757     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
758     screen updates with curses.
759     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
760     by spaces.
761     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
762     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
763     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
764     is just too slow for this to work.
765     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
766     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
767     implement. use --enable-styles.
768     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
769     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
770     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
771     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
772     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
773     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
774 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
775 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
776     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
777     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
778     (only for non-bold right now).
779     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
780     - better default font size and style.
781     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
782     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
783     single character against the base font extents and will only
784     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
785     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
786     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
787     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
788     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
789     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
790     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
791     screen height.
792     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
793     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
794     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
795     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
796     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
797     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
798     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
799     - removed OSC 702.
800     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
801     confused by it rather than using it.

804     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
805 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
806     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
807 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
808 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
809     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
810     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
811     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
812     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
813     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
814     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
815     close).
816     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
817     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
818     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
819     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
820 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
821 root 1.430 could not be created.
822     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
823     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
824     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
825     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
826     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
827     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
828     works.
829 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
830 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
831     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).

833     character is a sensible operation.
834     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
835     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
836     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
837     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
838     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
839     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
840     with selections).

843 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
844     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
845     needs access to a local shell window).
846     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
847     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
848     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
849     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
850     a little window or so) would be welcome.
851     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
852     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
853     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
854     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
855     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
856     added there.
857     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
858     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
859 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
860 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
861     instead of being ignored.
862     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
863     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
864     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
865     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
866     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
867     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
868     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
869     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
870     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
871     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
872     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
873     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
874     needs testing anyways.
875     - more complete compile options help output.
876     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
877     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
878     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
879     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
