2    
3 root 1.650 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4 root 1.549 TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
5 root 1.669 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6 root 1.590 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn

8 root 1.287 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9 root 1.641 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10 root 1.689 TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14 root 1.659 WISH: skipscroll option
15 root 1.671 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
16 root 1.659 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17 root 1.611 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18 root 1.566 WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
19 root 1.690 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
20 root 1.694 WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
21 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
22 root 1.346
23 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
24     - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early.
25 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
26     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
27 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
28     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
29     Reported by Takano Akio.
30 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
31 root 1.722 reported by exg.
32 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
33 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
34     - ignore (some) useless focus events. (reported by mmc)
35 root 1.722
36 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
37 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
38     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
39     circumstances (reported by exg).
40 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
41     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
42 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
43     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
44 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
45     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
46 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
47     - update to libptytty-1.0.
48 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
49     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
50 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
51 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
52 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
53     bug #143985).
54 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
55 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
56     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
57 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
58 root 1.698
59 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
60     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
61 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
62 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
63     it does! :->
64 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
65 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
66 root 1.691
67 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
68 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
69     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
70     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
71     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
72     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
73 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
74     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
75 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
76     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
77 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
78 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
79     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
80     uppercase character.
81 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
82 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
83     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
84 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
85     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
86 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
87     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
88 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
89     generic osc_seq.
90 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
91     were invoked recursively.
92 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
93     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
94 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
95 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
96     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
97     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
98 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
99     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
100     by omatunto_.
101 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
102     follow C++ closely enough.
103 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
104 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
105 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
106     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
107 root 1.661
108 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
109 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
110 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
111     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
112 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
113 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
114 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
115 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
116     refresh bugs please.
117 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
118 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
119     improve size hint setting.
120 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
121     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
122     to correctly position their preedit window.
123 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
124     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
125 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
126 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
127     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
128 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
129     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
130 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
131 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
132 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
133     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
134     (reported by Paco-Paco).
135 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
136     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
137 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
138 root 1.645
139 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
140 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
141 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
142     resource value.
143 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
144 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
145     relevant tab window.
146     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
147     (initial patch by hednod).
148 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
149     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
150 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
151     the benefit of automove-background.
152 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
153 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
154 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
155 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
156     __linux__.
157 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
158     the colour components.
159 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
160     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
161 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
162     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
163 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
164 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
165 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
166 root 1.617
167 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
168 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
169 root 1.609 detection:
170     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
171     - overlap detection was improved.
172     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
173     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
174     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
175     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
176     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
177     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
178     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
179     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
180 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
181     broken.
182     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
183 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
184     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
185 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
186 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
187 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
188 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
189 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
190     an "[alpha]" prefix.
191 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
192     transparent. Long Live Xft!
193     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
194     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
195 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
196     on a pseudocolor screen.
197 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
198     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
199     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
200     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
201     - small configure updates.
202 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
203 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
204     the debian package.
205 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
206     but much newer than the old one.
207 root 1.598
208 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
209 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
210     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
211 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
212     - fixed version options: line output.
213     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
214 root 1.593
215 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
216 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
217     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
218 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
219 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
220 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
221     selection extension.
222 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
223 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
224 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
225     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
226 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
227 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
228     needs the careful rendering mode.
229     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
230     too wide and needs careful mode.
231 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
232 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
233 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
234     atoms only once per display.
235 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
236 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
237     xterm.
238 root 1.570
239 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
240 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
241     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
242     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
243     ctrl-shift-672c).
244 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
245 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
246 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
247     the primary screen.
248 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
249     could lead to an assertion failure.
250 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
251 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
252     via mouse clicks.
253 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
254 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
255 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
256     in non-synthetic events.
257 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
258 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
259     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
260 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
261     whole urxvt[d] process.
262     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
263     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
264     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
265 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
266 root 1.552
267 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
268 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
269     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
270     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
271     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
272     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
273     special privileges.
274     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
275     itself.
276 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
277     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
278     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
279 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
280     similar stuff.
281 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
282 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
283     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
284 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
285     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
286     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
287     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
288     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
289     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
290 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
291     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
292 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
293 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
294     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
295 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
296     to set the window title.
297     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
298     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
299     at the wrong time.
300 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
301     anymore.
302 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
303 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
304 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
305 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
306     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
307 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
308 root 1.518
309 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
310 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
311 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
312 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
313     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
314 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
315     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
316 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
317     and much much more.
318 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
319 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
320 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
321 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
322     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
323 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
324 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
325 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
326 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
327 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
328 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
329 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
330 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
331 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
332     compatible, and not really small either.
333     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
334     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
335 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
336     to crashes.
337 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
338     colours.
339 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
340 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
341 root 1.493
342 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
343 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
344     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
345     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
346 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
347     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
348     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
349 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
350     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
351 root 1.488 by Mikachu).

357 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
358 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
359 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
360 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
361 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
362     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended

371 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
372 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc

432     percentage by 100-percentage.
433     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
434     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
435     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
436     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
437     windows.
438     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
439     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
440     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).

448     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
449     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
450     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines

455 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
456     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
457     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
458     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
459     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
460     Affects display in iso14755 box.
461     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
462     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
463     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
464     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
465     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
466     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
467     cutting pieces off of characters.
468     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
469     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
470     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
471     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
472     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
473     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).

488 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
489 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).

495 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
496     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
497     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
498     with modifiers.
499 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
500     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
501 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
502     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
503     and clear the scrollback buffer.
504 root 1.389
505 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
506 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
507 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
508     a command.
509     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
510     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
511     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
512     in Perl/Gtk2.
513     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
514     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
515     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
516     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
517     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
518     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
519     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
520     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
521     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
522     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
523     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
524     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
525     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
526     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
527     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
528 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
529 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed

539     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
540     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.

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

554     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
555     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
556     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
557     his patience and time in tracking this down).
558     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,

575     - new option/resource imFont.

578     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
579     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
580     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
581     (WU Fengguang).
582     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
583     examples (rxvt.1).

588 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
589     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
590     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
591     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
592     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
593     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
594     resulting in segfaults.
595     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
596     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
597     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
598     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
599     (Mikael Magnusson).
600     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
601     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
602     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
603     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
604     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
605     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
606     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
607     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
608     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
609     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
610     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
611     - initialize the locale much earlier.

624 root 1.312
625 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
626 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
627 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
628     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
629     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
630     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
631     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
632     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
633     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
634     ignored.
635     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
636     instead.
637     - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
638     (reported by hednod).

653     titles etc.
654     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
655     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
656     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
657     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
658     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
659     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
660     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
661     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
662     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
663     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
664     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
665     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.

708     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
709     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
710     ... terminated by a fix.
711     - new supported preeeditType "None".
712     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
713     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
714     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
715     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
716     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
717     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
718     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
719     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
720     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
721     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
722     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
723     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
724     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
725     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
726     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
727     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
728     in tracking this down.

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

795     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
796 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
797     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
798 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
799 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
800     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
801     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
802     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
803     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
804     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
805     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
806     close).
807     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
808     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
809     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
810     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
811 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
812 root 1.430 could not be created.
813     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
814     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
815     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
816     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
817     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
818     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
819     works.
820 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
821 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
822     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
823     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
824     character is a sensible operation.
825     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
826     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
827     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
828     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
829     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
830     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
831     with selections).

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

1101 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1102 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1103     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1104     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1105 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1106     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1107     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1108     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)

1111     - further cleanups.
1112 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1113     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1114     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1115     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1116     please drop me a note.
