69 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg

71 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
72     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
73     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
74     case to work around for :/
75 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
76 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
77     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
78     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
79 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).

88     - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
89 root 1.747 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
90     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).

92 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).

95 ayin 1.749 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
96 ayin 1.767 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
97 root 1.730
98 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
99 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
100 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
101     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
102 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
103     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
104     Reported by Takano Akio.
105 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
106 root 1.722 reported by exg.
107 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
108 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
109 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
110 root 1.728 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
111 root 1.722
112 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
113 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
114     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
115     circumstances (reported by exg).
116 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
117     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
118 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
119     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
120 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
121     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
122 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
123     - update to libptytty-1.0.
124 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
125     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
126 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
127 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
128 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
129     bug #143985).
130 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
131 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
132     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
133 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
134 root 1.698
135 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
136     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
137 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
138 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
139     it does! :->
140 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
141 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
142 root 1.691
143 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
144 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
145     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
146     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
147     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
148     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
149 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
150     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
151 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
152     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
153 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
154 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
155     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
156     uppercase character.
157 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
158 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
159     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
160 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
161     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
162 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
163     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
164 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
165     generic osc_seq.
166 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
167     were invoked recursively.
168 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
169     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
170 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
171 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
172     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
173     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
174 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
175 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
176 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
177 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
178     follow C++ closely enough.
179 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
180 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
181 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
182     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
183 root 1.661
184 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
185 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
186 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
187     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
188 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
189 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
190 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
191 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
192     refresh bugs please.
193 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
194 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
195     improve size hint setting.
196 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
197     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
198     to correctly position their preedit window.
199 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
200     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
201 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
202 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
203     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
204 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
205     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
206 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
207 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
208 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
209     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
210     (reported by Paco-Paco).
211 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
212     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
213 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
214 root 1.645
215 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
216 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
217 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
218     resource value.
219 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
220 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
221     relevant tab window.
222     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
223     (initial patch by hednod).
224 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
225     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
226 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
227     the benefit of automove-background.
228 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
229 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
230 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
231 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
232     __linux__.
233 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
234     the colour components.
235 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
236     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
237 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
238     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
239 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
240 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
241 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
242 root 1.617
243 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
244 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
245 ayin 1.767 detection:
246 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
247     - overlap detection was improved.
248     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
249     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
250     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
251     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
252     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
253     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
254     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
255     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
256 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
257     broken.
258     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
259 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
260     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
261 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
262 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
263 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
264 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
265 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
266     an "[alpha]" prefix.
267 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
268     transparent. Long Live Xft!
269     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
270     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
271 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
272     on a pseudocolor screen.
273 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
274     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
275     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
276     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
277     - small configure updates.
278 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
279 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
280     the debian package.
281 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
282     but much newer than the old one.
283 root 1.598
284 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006

286     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
287 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
288     - fixed version options: line output.
289     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
290 root 1.593
291 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
292 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
293     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
294 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
295 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
296 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
297     selection extension.
298 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
299 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
300 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
301     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
302 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
303 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
304     needs the careful rendering mode.
305     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
306     too wide and needs careful mode.
307 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
308 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
309 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
310     atoms only once per display.
311 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
312 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
313     xterm.
314 root 1.570
315 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
316 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
317     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
318     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
319     ctrl-shift-672c).
320 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
321 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
322 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
323     the primary screen.
324 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
325     could lead to an assertion failure.
326 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
327 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
328     via mouse clicks.
329 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
330 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
331 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
332     in non-synthetic events.
333 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
334 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
335     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
336 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
337     whole urxvt[d] process.
338     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
339     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
340     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
341 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
342 root 1.552
343 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
344 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
345     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
346     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
347     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
348     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
349     special privileges.
350     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
351     itself.
352 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
353     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
354     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
355 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
356     similar stuff.
357 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
358 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
359     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
360 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
361     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
362     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
363     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
364     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
365     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
366 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
367     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
368 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
369 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
370     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
371 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
372     to set the window title.
373     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
374     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
375     at the wrong time.
376 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
377     anymore.
378 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
379 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
380 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
381 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
382     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
383 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
384 root 1.518
385 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
386 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
387 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
388 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
389     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
390 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
391     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
392 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
393     and much much more.
394 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
395 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
396 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
397 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
398     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
399 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
400 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
401 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
402 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
403 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
404 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
405 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
407 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
408     compatible, and not really small either.
409     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
410     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
411 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
412     to crashes.
413 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
414     colours.
415 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
416 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
417 root 1.493
418 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
419 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
420     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
421     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
422 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
423     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
424     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
425 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
426     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
427 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
428 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
429     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
430 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
431 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
432 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
433 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
434 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
435 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
436 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
437 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
438     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
439     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
440 root 1.474
441 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
442 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
443     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
444     Chuck Blake.
445 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
446     obscure the mouse cursor position.
447 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
448 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
449     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
450 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
451     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
452 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
453     transfer efficiency.
454 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
455 root 1.463
456 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
457 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
458 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
459     while the user still drags.
460 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
461     not drawn correctly.
462 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
463     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
464 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
465     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
466 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
467     stripping whitespace.
468 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
469 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
470 root 1.452
471 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
472 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
473 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
474 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
475     (also a bug in original rxvt).
476 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
477     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
478     partial patch).
479     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
480     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
481 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
482 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
483 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
484 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
485 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
486 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
487 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
488     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
489     - slight overall speed improvements.
490     - considerably improved code clarity.
491 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
492     buffer.
493 root 1.437
494 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
495 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
496     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
497     (matters only for rxvtd).
498 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
499 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
500 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
501 root 1.431
502 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
503 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
504 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
505     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
506     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
507     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
508     percentage by 100-percentage.
509     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
510     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
511     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
512     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
513     windows.
514     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
515     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
516     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
517     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
518     - replaced INSTALL file.
519    
520 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
521 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
522 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
523     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
524     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
525     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
526     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
527     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
528 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
529 root 1.411
530 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
531 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
532     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
533     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
534     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
535     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
536     Affects display in iso14755 box.
537     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
538     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
539     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
540     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
541     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
542     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
543     cutting pieces off of characters.
544     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
545     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
546     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
547     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
548     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
549     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
550     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
551 root 1.399
552 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
553 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
554 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
555     meaning of the given key.
556     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
557     (patch by Martin Edlman).
558 root 1.394
559 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
560     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
561 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
562     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
563     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
564 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
565 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
566 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
567 root 1.433 to disable it.
568 root 1.393
569 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
570     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
571 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
572     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
573     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
574     with modifiers.
575 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
576     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
577 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
578     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
579     and clear the scrollback buffer.
580 root 1.389
581 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
582 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
583 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
584     a command.
585     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
586     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
587     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
588     in Perl/Gtk2.
589     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
590     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
591     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
592     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
593     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
594     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
595     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
596     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
597     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
598     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
599     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
600     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
601     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
602     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
603     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
604 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
605 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
606     rxvt-unicode).
607     - get rid of the intpro files.
608 root 1.373
609 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
610 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
611 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
612     (Kuang-che Wu).
613     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
614     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
615     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
616     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
617     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
618     along with other, similar, cleanups.
619     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
620     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
621     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
622     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
623     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
624     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
625 root 1.361
626 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005

628 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
629     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
630     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
631     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
632     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
633     his patience and time in tracking this down).
634     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
635     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
636 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
637 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
638     by Joël Riou).
639     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
640     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
641     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
642     - shaved off some code segment size.

645 root 1.360
646 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
647 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
648     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
649     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
650     -pixmap is active.
651     - new option/resource imFont.
652     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
653     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
654     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
655     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
656     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
657     (WU Fengguang).
658     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
659     examples (rxvt.1).
660     - removed src/test completely.
661     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
662 root 1.287
663 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
664 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
665     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
666     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
667     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
668     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
669     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
670     resulting in segfaults.
671     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
672     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
673     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
674     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
675     (Mikael Magnusson).
676     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
677     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
678     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
679     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
680     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
681     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
682     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
683     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
684     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
685     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
686     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
687     - initialize the locale much earlier.
688     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
689 root 1.331
690 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
691 root 1.430 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be

693     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
694     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
695 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
696 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
697     additional multimedia keys.
698     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
699     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
700 root 1.312
701 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
702 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
703 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
704     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
705     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
706     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
707     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
708     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
709     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
710     ignored.
711     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
712     instead.
713     - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
714     (reported by hednod).

734     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
735     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
736     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
737     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
738     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
739     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
740     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

790     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
791     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
792     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
793     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
794     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
795     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
796     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
797     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
798     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
799     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
800     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
801     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
802     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
803     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

817     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.

819     - support select&paste of tab characters.
820     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
821     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
822     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
823     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
824     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
825     screen updates with curses.
826     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
827     by spaces.
828     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
829     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
830     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
831     is just too slow for this to work.
832     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
833     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
834     implement. use --enable-styles.
835     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
836     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
837     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
838     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
839     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
840     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
841 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
842 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
843     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
844     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
845     (only for non-bold right now).
846     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
847     - better default font size and style.
848     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
849     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
850     single character against the base font extents and will only
851     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
852     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
853     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
854     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
855     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
856     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
857     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
858     screen height.
859     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
860     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
861     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
862     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
863     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
864     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
865     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
866     - removed OSC 702.
867     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be

874 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
875 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
876     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
877     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
878     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
879     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
880     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
881     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
882     close).
883     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
884     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

889     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
890     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
891     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
892     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
893     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
894     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
895     works.

901     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
902     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
903     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
904     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
905     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

911     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
912     needs access to a local shell window).

914     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
915     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
916     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
917     a little window or so) would be welcome.
918     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
919     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
920     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
921     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
922     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
923     added there.
924     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).

929     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
930     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
931     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
932     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
933     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
934     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
935     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
936     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
937     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
938     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
939     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
940     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
941     needs testing anyways.
942     - more complete compile options help output.
943     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
944     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
945     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
946     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from

1090     - code cleanup release.
1091     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1092 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1093     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1094     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1095     all files.
1096     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1097     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1098 pcg 1.74
1099 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1100 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1101     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1102     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1103     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1104     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1105 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1106 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1107     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1108     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1109     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1110     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1111     --disable-xgetdefault.
1112     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1113     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1114     unicode character.
1115 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1116 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1117 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1118 pcg 1.69
1119 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1120 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1121 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1122     settings.
1123     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1124     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1125     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1126     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1127     mbrtowc.
1128     - more robust encoding name matching.
1129     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1130     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1131     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1132     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1133     resources and docs.
1134     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

1142 pcg 1.50
1143     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1144     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1145    
1146 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1147 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1148 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1149     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1150     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1151     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1152     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1153     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1154     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1155     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1156     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1157     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1158     reported by joel reed.
1159     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1160     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1161     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1162     being selected.
1163     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1164     - removed greek support.
1165     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1166     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1167     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1168 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1169 root 1.430 contributed.
1170     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1171     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1172     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1173     - many other minor bugfixes.
1174 pcg 1.26
1175 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1176 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1177 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1178 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1179     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1180     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1181 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1182     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1183     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1184     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1185 pcg 1.19
1186 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1187     - further cleanups.
1188 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1189     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1190     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1191     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1192     please drop me a note.
1193 pcg 1.16
1194 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1195 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1196 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1197     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1198     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1199     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1200     was never implemented

1203 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1204 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1205     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1206     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1207     reported by fefe
1208     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1209     Markus Demleitner
1210     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1211     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1212     - completely removed non-working graphics mode

1214 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1215 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1216 root 1.430 - small font tunings
1217     - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
1218     - better error reporting for unknown options
1219 pcg 1.1
