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
7 root 1.640 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
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 1.729 TODO: fix rounding of colors when !xft (#aaaaaa => #a9a900) (do not use correct, but expected value)
24 root 1.734 03:05 <Aiviru> Hrm. I've found that my problem isn't so much urxvt, though it /does/ seem to ignore colorRV
25 root 1.730 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
26 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
27     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
28 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
29 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
30     (found by Aiviru).
31 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
32     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
33     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
34     case to work around for :/
35 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
36 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
37     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
38     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
39 ayin 1.740 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
40 root 1.730
41 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
42 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
43 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
44     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
45 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
46     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
47     Reported by Takano Akio.
48 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
49 root 1.722 reported by exg.
50 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
51 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
52 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
53 root 1.728 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
54 root 1.722
55 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
56 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
57     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
58     circumstances (reported by exg).
59 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
60     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
61 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
62     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
63 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
64     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
65 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
66     - update to libptytty-1.0.
67 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
68     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
69 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
70 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
71 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
72     bug #143985).
73 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
74 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
75     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
76 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
77 root 1.698
78 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
79     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
80 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
81 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
82     it does! :->
83 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
84 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
85 root 1.691
86 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
87 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
88     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
89     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
90     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
91     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
92 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
93     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
94 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
95     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
96 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
97 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
98     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
99     uppercase character.
100 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
101 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
102     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
103 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
104     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
105 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
106     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
107 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
108     generic osc_seq.
109 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
110     were invoked recursively.
111 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
112     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
113 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
114 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
115     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
116     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
117 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
118     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
119     by omatunto_.
120 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
121     follow C++ closely enough.
122 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
123 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
124 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
125     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
126 root 1.661
127 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
128 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
129 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
130     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
131 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
132 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
133 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
134 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
135     refresh bugs please.
136 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
137 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
138     improve size hint setting.
139 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
140     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
141     to correctly position their preedit window.
142 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
143     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
144 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
145 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
146     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
147 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
148     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
149 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
150 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
151 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
152     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
153     (reported by Paco-Paco).
154 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
155     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
156 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
157 root 1.645
158 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
159 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
160 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
161     resource value.
162 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
163 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
164     relevant tab window.
165     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
166     (initial patch by hednod).
167 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
168     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
169 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
170     the benefit of automove-background.
171 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
172 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
173 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
174 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
175     __linux__.
176 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
177     the colour components.
178 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
179     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
180 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
181     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
182 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
183 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
184 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
185 root 1.617
186 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
187 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
188 root 1.609 detection:
189     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
190     - overlap detection was improved.
191     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
192     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
193     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
194     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
195     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
196     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
197     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
198     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
199 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
200     broken.
201     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
202 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
203     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
204 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
205 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
206 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
207 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
208 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
209     an "[alpha]" prefix.
210 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
211     transparent. Long Live Xft!
212     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
213     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
214 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
215     on a pseudocolor screen.
216 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
217     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
218     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
219     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
220     - small configure updates.
221 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
222 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
223     the debian package.
224 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
225     but much newer than the old one.
226 root 1.598
227 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
228 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
229     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
230 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
231     - fixed version options: line output.
232     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
233 root 1.593
234 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
235 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
236     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
237 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
238 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
239 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
240     selection extension.
241 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
242 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
243 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
244     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
245 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
246 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
247     needs the careful rendering mode.
248     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
249     too wide and needs careful mode.
250 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
251 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
252 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
253     atoms only once per display.
254 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
255 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
256     xterm.
257 root 1.570
258 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
259 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
260     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
261     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
262     ctrl-shift-672c).
263 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
264 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
265 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
266     the primary screen.
267 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
268     could lead to an assertion failure.
269 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
270 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
271     via mouse clicks.
272 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
273 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
274 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
275     in non-synthetic events.
276 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
277 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
278     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
279 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
280     whole urxvt[d] process.
281     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
282     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
283     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
284 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
285 root 1.552
286 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
287 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
288     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
289     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
290     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
291     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
292     special privileges.
293     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
294     itself.
295 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
296     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
297     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
298 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
299     similar stuff.
300 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
301 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
302     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
303 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
304     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
305     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
306     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
307     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
308     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
309 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
310     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
311 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
312 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
313     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
314 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
315     to set the window title.
316     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
317     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
318     at the wrong time.
319 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
320     anymore.
321 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
322 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
323 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
324 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
325     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
326 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
327 root 1.518
328 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
329 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
330 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
331 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
332     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
333 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
334     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
335 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
336     and much much more.
337 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
338 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
339 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
340 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
341     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
342 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
343 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
344 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
345 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
346 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
347 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.

362 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
363     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
364     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
365 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
366     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
367     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
368 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
369     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
370 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
371 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more

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

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

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

474 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
475     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
476     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
477     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
478     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
479     Affects display in iso14755 box.
480     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
481     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
482     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
483     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
484     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
485     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
486     cutting pieces off of characters.
487     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
488     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
489     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
490     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
491     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
492     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).

496 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
497 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
498     meaning of the given key.
499     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite

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

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

558     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
559     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
560     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
561     along with other, similar, cleanups.
562     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
563     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
564     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
565     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts

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

598     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
599     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
600     (WU Fengguang).
601     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
602     examples (rxvt.1).

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

647     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
648     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
649     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
650     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
651     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
652     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
653     ignored.
654     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
655     instead.

672     titles etc.
673     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
674     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
675     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
676     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
677     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
678     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
679     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
680     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
681     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
682     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
683     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

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

756 root 1.430 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
757     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
758     installed if tic is available.
759     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
760     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
761     - removed README.unicode.
762     - support select&paste of tab characters.
763     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
764     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
765     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
766     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
767     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
768     screen updates with curses.
769     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
770     by spaces.
771     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
772     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
773     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
774     is just too slow for this to work.
775     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
776     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
777     implement. use --enable-styles.
778     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
779     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
780     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
781     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
782     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
783     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
784 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
785 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
786     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
787     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
788     (only for non-bold right now).
789     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
790     - better default font size and style.
791     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
792     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
793     single character against the base font extents and will only
794     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
795     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
796     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
797     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
798     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
799     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
800     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
801     screen height.
802     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
803     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
804     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
805     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
806     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
807     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
808     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
809     - removed OSC 702.
810     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
811     confused by it rather than using it.

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

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

1105     being selected.
