22 root 1.346
23 root 1.757 8.
24 root 1.751 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
25 root 1.753 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
26     (patch by Mikachu).
27 root 1.755 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
28 ayin 1.756 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
29     (patch by Philip Paeps).
30 ayin 1.758 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last

33     /usr/X11R6/lib.
34 ayin 1.760 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2.
35 root 1.751
36 root 1.750 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
37 root 1.730 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
38 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
39     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
40 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
41 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
42     (found by Aiviru).
43 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
44     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
45     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
46     case to work around for :/
47 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
48 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
49     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
50     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
51 ayin 1.740 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
52 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
53     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
54 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
55     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
56     Paskevich).
57 root 1.744 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
58 root 1.745 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
59 root 1.746 - update libptytty.
60     - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
61 root 1.747 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
62     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
63 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
64     from (50,50) to (0,0).
65     - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
66     the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
67 ayin 1.749 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
68     font with inheritPixmap and tintColor.
69 root 1.730
70 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
71 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
72 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
73     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
74 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
75     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
76     Reported by Takano Akio.
77 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
78 root 1.722 reported by exg.
79 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
80 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
81 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
82 root 1.728 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
83 root 1.722
84 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
85 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
86     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
87     circumstances (reported by exg).
88 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
89     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
90 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
91     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
92 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
93     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
94 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
95     - update to libptytty-1.0.
96 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
97     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
98 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
99 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
100 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
101     bug #143985).
102 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
103 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
104     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
105 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
106 root 1.698
107 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
108     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
109 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
110 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
111     it does! :->
112 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
113 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
114 root 1.691
115 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
116 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
117     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
118     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
119     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
120     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
121 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
122     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
123 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
124     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
125 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
126 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
127     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
128     uppercase character.
129 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
130 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
131     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
132 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
133     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
134 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
135     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
136 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
137     generic osc_seq.
138 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
139     were invoked recursively.
140 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
141     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
142 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
143 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
144     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
145     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
146 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
147     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
148     by omatunto_.
149 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
150     follow C++ closely enough.
151 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
152 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
153 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
154     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
155 root 1.661
156 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
157 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
158 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
159     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
160 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
161 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
162 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
163 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
164     refresh bugs please.
165 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
166 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
167     improve size hint setting.
168 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
169     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
170     to correctly position their preedit window.
171 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
172     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
173 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
174 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
175     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
176 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
177     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
178 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
179 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
180 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
181     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
182     (reported by Paco-Paco).
183 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
184     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
185 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
186 root 1.645
187 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
188 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
189 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
190     resource value.
191 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
192 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
193     relevant tab window.
194     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
195     (initial patch by hednod).
196 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
197     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
198 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
199     the benefit of automove-background.
200 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
201 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
202 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
203 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
204     __linux__.
205 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
206     the colour components.
207 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
208     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
209 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
210     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
211 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
212 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
213 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
214 root 1.617
215 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
216 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
217 root 1.609 detection:
218     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
219     - overlap detection was improved.
220     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
221     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
222     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
223     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
224     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
225     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
226     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
227     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
228 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
229     broken.
230     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
231 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
232     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
233 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
234 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
235 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
236 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
237 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
238     an "[alpha]" prefix.
239 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
240     transparent. Long Live Xft!
241     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
242     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
243 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
244     on a pseudocolor screen.
245 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
246     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
247     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
248     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
249     - small configure updates.
250 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
251 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
252     the debian package.
253 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
254     but much newer than the old one.
255 root 1.598
256 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
257 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
258     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
259 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
260     - fixed version options: line output.
261     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
262 root 1.593
263 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
264 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
265     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
266 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
267 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
268 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
269     selection extension.
270 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
271 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
272 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
273     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
274 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
275 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
276     needs the careful rendering mode.
277     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
278     too wide and needs careful mode.
279 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
280 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
281 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
282     atoms only once per display.
283 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
284 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
285     xterm.
286 root 1.570
287 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
288 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
289     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
290     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
291     ctrl-shift-672c).
292 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
293 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
294 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
295     the primary screen.
296 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
297     could lead to an assertion failure.
298 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
299 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
300     via mouse clicks.
301 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
302 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
303 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
304     in non-synthetic events.
305 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
306 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
307     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
308 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
309     whole urxvt[d] process.
310     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
311     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
312     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
313 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
314 root 1.552
315 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
316 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
317     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
318     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
319     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
320     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
321     special privileges.
322     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
323     itself.
324 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
325     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
326     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
327 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
328     similar stuff.
329 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
330 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
331     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
332 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
333     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
334     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
335     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
336     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
337     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
338 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
339     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
340 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
341 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
342     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
343 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
344     to set the window title.
345     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
346     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
347     at the wrong time.
348 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
349     anymore.
350 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
351 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
352 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
353 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
354     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
355 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
356 root 1.518
357 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
358 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
359 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
360 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
361     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
362 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
363     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
364 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
365     and much much more.
366 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
367 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
368 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
369 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
370     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
371 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
372 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
373 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
374 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
375 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
376 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
377 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
378 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
379 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
380     compatible, and not really small either.
381     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
382     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
383 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
384     to crashes.
385 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
386     colours.
387 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
388 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
389 root 1.493
390 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
391 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
392     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
393     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
394 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
395     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
396     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
397 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
398     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
399 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
400 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
401     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
402 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
403 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
404 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
405 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
406 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
407 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
408 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
409 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
410     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
411     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
412 root 1.474
413 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
414 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
415     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
416     Chuck Blake.
417 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
418     obscure the mouse cursor position.
419 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
420 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
421     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
422 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
423     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
424 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
425     transfer efficiency.
426 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
427 root 1.463
428 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
429 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
430 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
431     while the user still drags.
432 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
433     not drawn correctly.
434 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
435     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
436 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
437     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
438 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
439     stripping whitespace.
440 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
441 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
442 root 1.452
443 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
444 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
445 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
446 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
447     (also a bug in original rxvt).
448 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
449     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
450     partial patch).
451     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
452     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
453 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
454 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
455 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
456 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
457 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
458 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
459 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
460     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
461     - slight overall speed improvements.
462     - considerably improved code clarity.
463 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
464     buffer.
465 root 1.437
466 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
467 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
468     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
469     (matters only for rxvtd).
470 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
471 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
472 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
473 root 1.431
474 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
475 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
476 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
477     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
478     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
479     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
480     percentage by 100-percentage.
481     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
482     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
483     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
484     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
485     windows.
486     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
487     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
488     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
489     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
490     - replaced INSTALL file.
491    
492 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
493 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
494 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
495     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
496     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
497     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
498     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
499     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
500 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
501 root 1.411
502 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
503 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
504     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
505     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
506     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
507     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
508     Affects display in iso14755 box.
509     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
510     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
511     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
512     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
513     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
514     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
515     cutting pieces off of characters.
516     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
517     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
518     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
519     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
520     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
521     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
522     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
523 root 1.399
524 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
525 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
526 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
527     meaning of the given key.
528     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
529     (patch by Martin Edlman).
530 root 1.394
531 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
532     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
533 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
534     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
535     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
536 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
537 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
538 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
539 root 1.433 to disable it.
540 root 1.393
541 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
542     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
543 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
544     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
545     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
546     with modifiers.
547 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
548     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
549 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
550     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
551     and clear the scrollback buffer.
552 root 1.389
553 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
554 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
555 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
556     a command.
557     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
558     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
559     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
560     in Perl/Gtk2.
561     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
562     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
563     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
564     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
565     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
566     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
567     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
568     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
569     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
570     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
571     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
572     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
573     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
574     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
575     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
576 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
577 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
578     rxvt-unicode).
579     - get rid of the intpro files.
580 root 1.373
581 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
582 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
583 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
584     (Kuang-che Wu).
585     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
586     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
587     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
588     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
589     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
590     along with other, similar, cleanups.
591     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
592     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
593     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
594     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
595     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
596     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
597 root 1.361
598 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
599     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
600 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
601     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
602     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
603     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
604     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
605     his patience and time in tracking this down).
606     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
607     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
608 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
609 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
610     by Joël Riou).
611     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
612     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
613     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
614     - shaved off some code segment size.
615     - various code cleanups.
616     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
617 root 1.360
618 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
619 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
620     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
621     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
622     -pixmap is active.
623     - new option/resource imFont.
624     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
625     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
626     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
627     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
628     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
629     (WU Fengguang).
630     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
631     examples (rxvt.1).
632     - removed src/test completely.
633     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
634 root 1.287
635 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
636 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
637     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
638     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
639     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
640     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
641     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
642     resulting in segfaults.
643     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
644     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
645     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
646     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
647     (Mikael Magnusson).
648     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
649     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
650     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
651     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
652     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
653     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
654     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
655     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
656     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
657     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
658     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
659     - initialize the locale much earlier.
660     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
661 root 1.331
662 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
663 root 1.430 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be

665     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
666     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
667 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
668 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
669     additional multimedia keys.
670     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
671     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
672 root 1.312
673 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
674 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
675 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
676     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
677     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
678     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
679     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
680     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
681     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
682     ignored.
683     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
684     instead.
685     - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
686     (reported by hednod).
687     - fix an unlikely memory leak.
688     - fix atom name enumeration.
689 root 1.291

692 root 1.430 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
693     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
694     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
695     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
696 root 1.288

698 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
699 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
700     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
701     titles etc.
702     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
703     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
704     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
705     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
706     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
707     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
708     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
709     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
710     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
711     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
712     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
713     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
714     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.

732     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
733     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional

742 root 1.263 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
743 root 1.430 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
744 root 1.263 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
745 root 1.430 - add compile fix for darwin.

753     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
754     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
755     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
756     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
757     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
758     ... terminated by a fix.
759     - new supported preeeditType "None".
760     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
761     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
762     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
763     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
764     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
765     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
766     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
767     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
768     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
769     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
770     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
771     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
772     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
773     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
774     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
775     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
776     in tracking this down.
777     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
778     make install) with the correct program name and other info.

785 root 1.430 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
786     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
787     installed if tic is available.
788     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
789     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
790     - removed README.unicode.
791     - support select&paste of tab characters.
792     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
793     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
794     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
795     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
796     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
797     screen updates with curses.
798     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
799     by spaces.
800     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
801     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
802     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
803     is just too slow for this to work.
804     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
805     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
806     implement. use --enable-styles.
807     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
808     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
809     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
810     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
811     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
812     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
813 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
814 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
815     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
816     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
817     (only for non-bold right now).
818     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
819     - better default font size and style.
820     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
821     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
822     single character against the base font extents and will only
823     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
824     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
825     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
826     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
827     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
828     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
829     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
830     screen height.
831     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
832     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
833     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
834     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
835     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
836     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
837     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
838     - removed OSC 702.
839     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
840     confused by it rather than using it.
841 root 1.168
842 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
843     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
844 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
845     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
846 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
847 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
848     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
849     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
850     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
851     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
852     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
853     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
854     close).
855     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
856     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
857     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
858     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
859 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
860 root 1.430 could not be created.
861     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
862     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
863     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
864     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
865     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
866     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
867     works.
868 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
869 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
870     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
871     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
872     character is a sensible operation.
873     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
874     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
875     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
876     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
877     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
878     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
879     with selections).

882 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
883     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
884     needs access to a local shell window).
885     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
886     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
887     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
888     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
889     a little window or so) would be welcome.
890     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
891     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
892     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
893     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
894     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
895     added there.
896     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
897     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
898 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
899 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
900     instead of being ignored.
901     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
902     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
903     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
904     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
905     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
906     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
907     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
908     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
909     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
910     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
911     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
912     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
913     needs testing anyways.
914     - more complete compile options help output.
915     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
916     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
917     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
918     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
919     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>

1095     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1096     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1097     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1098     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1099     mbrtowc.
1100     - more robust encoding name matching.
1101     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1102     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1103     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1104     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1105     resources and docs.
1106     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1107 pcg 1.58
1108 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1109     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.

1111     - configure cleanup
1112     - viscii enabled by default
1113     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1114 pcg 1.50
1115     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1116     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1117    
1118 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1119 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1120 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1121     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1122     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1123     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1124     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1125     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1126     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1127     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1128     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1129     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1130     reported by joel reed.
1131     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1132     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1133     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1134     being selected.
1135     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1136     - removed greek support.
1137     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1138     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1139     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1140 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1141 root 1.430 contributed.
1142     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1143     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1144     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1145     - many other minor bugfixes.

1147 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1148 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1149 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1150 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1151     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1152     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1153 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1154     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1155     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1156     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1157 pcg 1.19
1158 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1159     - further cleanups.
1160 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1161     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1162     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1163     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1164     please drop me a note.
1165 pcg 1.16
1166 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004

1179     reported by fefe
1180     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1181     Markus Demleitner
