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.

24    
25 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
26     - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early.
27 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
28     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
29 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
30     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
31     Reported by Takano Akio.
32 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
33 root 1.722 reported by exg.
34 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
35 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
36     - ignore (some) useless focus events. (reported by mmc)
37 root 1.728 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
38 root 1.722
39 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
40 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
41     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
42     circumstances (reported by exg).
43 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
44     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
45 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
46     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
47 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
48     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
49 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
50     - update to libptytty-1.0.
51 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
52     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
53 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
54 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
55 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
56     bug #143985).
57 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
58 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
59     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
60 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
61 root 1.698
62 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
63     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
64 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
65 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
66     it does! :->
67 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
68 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
69 root 1.691
70 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
71 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
72     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
73     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
74     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
75     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
76 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
77     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
78 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
79     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
80 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
81 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
82     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
83     uppercase character.
84 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
85 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
86     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
87 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
88     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
89 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
90     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
91 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
92     generic osc_seq.
93 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
94     were invoked recursively.
95 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
96     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
97 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
98 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
99     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
100     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
101 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
102     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
103     by omatunto_.
104 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
105     follow C++ closely enough.
106 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
107 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
108 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
109     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
110 root 1.661
111 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
112 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
113 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
114     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
115 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
116 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
117 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
118 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
119     refresh bugs please.
120 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
121 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
122     improve size hint setting.
123 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
124     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
125     to correctly position their preedit window.
126 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
127     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
128 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
129 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
130     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
131 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
132     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
133 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
134 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
135 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
136     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
137     (reported by Paco-Paco).
138 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
139     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
140 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
141 root 1.645
142 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
143 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
144 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
145     resource value.
146 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
147 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
148     relevant tab window.
149     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
150     (initial patch by hednod).
151 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
152     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
153 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
154     the benefit of automove-background.
155 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
156 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
157 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
158 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
159     __linux__.
160 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
161     the colour components.
162 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
163     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
164 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
165     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
166 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
167 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
168 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
169 root 1.617
170 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
171 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
172 root 1.609 detection:
173     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
174     - overlap detection was improved.
175     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
176     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
177     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
178     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
179     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
180     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
181     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
182     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
183 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
184     broken.
185     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
186 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
187     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
188 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
189 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
190 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
191 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
192 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
193     an "[alpha]" prefix.
194 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
195     transparent. Long Live Xft!
196     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
197     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
198 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
199     on a pseudocolor screen.
200 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
201     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
202     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
203     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
204     - small configure updates.
205 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
206 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
207     the debian package.
208 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
209     but much newer than the old one.
210 root 1.598
211 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
212 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
213     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
214 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
215     - fixed version options: line output.
216     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
217 root 1.593
218 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
219 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
220     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
221 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
222 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
223 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
224     selection extension.
225 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
226 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
227 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
228     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
229 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
230 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
231     needs the careful rendering mode.
232     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
233     too wide and needs careful mode.
234 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
235 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
236 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
237     atoms only once per display.
238 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
239 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
240     xterm.
241 root 1.570
242 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
243 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
244     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
245     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
246     ctrl-shift-672c).
247 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
248 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
249 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
250     the primary screen.
251 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
252     could lead to an assertion failure.
253 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
254 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
255     via mouse clicks.
256 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
257 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
258 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
259     in non-synthetic events.
260 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
261 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
262     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
263 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
264     whole urxvt[d] process.
265     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
266     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
267     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
268 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
269 root 1.552
270 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
271 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
272     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
273     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
274     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
275     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
276     special privileges.
277     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
278     itself.
279 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
280     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
281     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
282 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
283     similar stuff.
284 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
285 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
286     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
287 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
288     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
289     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
290     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
291     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
292     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
293 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
294     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
295 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
296 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
297     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
298 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
299     to set the window title.
300     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
301     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
302     at the wrong time.
303 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
304     anymore.
305 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
306 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
307 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
308 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
309     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
310 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
311 root 1.518
312 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
313 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
314 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
315 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
316     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
317 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
318     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
319 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
320     and much much more.
321 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
322 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
323 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
324 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
325     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
326 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
327 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
328 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
329 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
330 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
331 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
332 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
333 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
334 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
335     compatible, and not really small either.
336     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
337     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
338 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
339     to crashes.
340 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
341     colours.
342 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
343 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
344 root 1.493
345 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
346 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
347     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
348     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
349 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
350     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not

363 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
364 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless

436     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
437     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
438     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
439     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
440     windows.
441     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default

452     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
453     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines

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

498 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
499     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
500     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
501     with modifiers.
502 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
503     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
504 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
505     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view

507 root 1.389
508 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
509 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
510 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
511     a command.
512     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
513     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
514     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
515     in Perl/Gtk2.
516     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
517     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
518     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
519     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
520     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
521     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
522     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
523     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
524     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
525     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
526     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
527     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
528     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
529     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
530     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
531 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is

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

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

590 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
591 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
592     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
593     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
594     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
595     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
596     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
597     resulting in segfaults.
598     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
599     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
600     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
601     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
602     (Mikael Magnusson).
603     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
604     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
605     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
606     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
607     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
608     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
609     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
610     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
611     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
612     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
613     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

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

631     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
632     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
633     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
634     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
635     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
636     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
637     ignored.
638     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
639     instead.

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

716     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
717     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
718     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
719     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
720     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
721     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
722     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
723     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
724     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
725     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
726     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
727     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
728     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
729     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
730     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
731     in tracking this down.

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

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

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