25     seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
26 root 1.807 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
27     especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
28     urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).

65 root 1.765 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
66     (patch by Philip Paeps).

82 root 1.730 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
83 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
84     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
85 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
86 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
87     (found by Aiviru).
88 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
89     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
90     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
91     case to work around for :/
92 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
93 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
94     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
95     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
96 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
97 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
98     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
99 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
100     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei

103 root 1.745 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
104 root 1.746 - update libptytty.
105     - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
106 root 1.747 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
107     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
108 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
109 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
110 ayin 1.748 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
111     the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
112 ayin 1.749 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
113 ayin 1.767 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
114 root 1.730
115 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
116 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
117 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
118     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
119 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
120     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
121     Reported by Takano Akio.
122 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
123 root 1.722 reported by exg.
124 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
125 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
126 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
127 root 1.728 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
128 root 1.722
129 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
130 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
131     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
132     circumstances (reported by exg).
133 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
134     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
135 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
136     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
137 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
138     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
139 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
140     - update to libptytty-1.0.
141 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
142     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
143 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
144 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
145 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
146     bug #143985).
147 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
148 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
149     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
150 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
151 root 1.698
152 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
153     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
154 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
155 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
156     it does! :->
157 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
158 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
159 root 1.691
160 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
161 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
162     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
163     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
164     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
165     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
166 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
167     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
168 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
169     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
170 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
171 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
172     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
173     uppercase character.
174 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
175 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
176     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
177 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
178     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
179 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
180     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
181 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
182     generic osc_seq.
183 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
184     were invoked recursively.
185 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
186     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
187 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
188 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
189     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
190     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
191 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
192 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
193 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
194 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
195     follow C++ closely enough.
196 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
197 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
198 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
199     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
200 root 1.661
201 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
202 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
203 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
204     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
205 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
206 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
207 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
208 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
209     refresh bugs please.
210 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
211 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
212     improve size hint setting.
213 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
214     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
215     to correctly position their preedit window.
216 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
217     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
218 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
219 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
220     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
221 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
222     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
223 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
224 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
225 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
226     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
227     (reported by Paco-Paco).
228 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
229     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
230 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
231 root 1.645
232 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
233 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
234 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
235     resource value.
236 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
237 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
238     relevant tab window.
239     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
240     (initial patch by hednod).
241 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
242     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
243 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
244     the benefit of automove-background.
245 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
246 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
247 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
248 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
249     __linux__.
250 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
251     the colour components.
252 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
253     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
254 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
255     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
256 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
257 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
258 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
259 root 1.617
260 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
261 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
262 ayin 1.767 detection:
263 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
264     - overlap detection was improved.
265     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
266     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
267     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
268     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
269     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
270     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
271     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
272     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
273 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
274     broken.
275     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
276 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
277     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
278 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
279 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
280 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
281 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
282 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
283     an "[alpha]" prefix.
284 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
285     transparent. Long Live Xft!
286     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
287     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
288 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
289     on a pseudocolor screen.
290 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
291     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
292     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
293     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
294     - small configure updates.
295 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
296 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
297     the debian package.
298 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
299     but much newer than the old one.
300 root 1.598
301 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
302 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
303     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
304 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
305     - fixed version options: line output.
306     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
307 root 1.593
308 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
309 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
310     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
311 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
312 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
313 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
314     selection extension.
315 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
316 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
317 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
318     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
319 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
320 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
321     needs the careful rendering mode.
322     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
323     too wide and needs careful mode.
324 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
325 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
326 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
327     atoms only once per display.
328 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
329 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
330     xterm.
331 root 1.570
332 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
333 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
334     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
335     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
336     ctrl-shift-672c).
337 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
338 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
339 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
340     the primary screen.
341 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
342     could lead to an assertion failure.
343 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
344 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
345     via mouse clicks.
346 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
347 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
348 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
349     in non-synthetic events.
350 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
351 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
352     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
353 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
354     whole urxvt[d] process.
355     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
356     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
357     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
358 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
359 root 1.552
360 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
361 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
362     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
363     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
364     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
365     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
366     special privileges.
367     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
368     itself.
369 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
370     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
371     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
372 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
373     similar stuff.
374 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
375 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
376     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
377 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
378     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
379     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
380     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
381     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
382     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
383 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
384     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
385 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
386 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
387     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
388 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
389     to set the window title.
390     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
391     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
392     at the wrong time.
393 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
394     anymore.
395 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
396 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
397 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
398 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
399     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
400 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
401 root 1.518
402 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
403 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
404 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
405 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
406     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
407 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
408     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
409 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
410     and much much more.
411 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
412 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
413 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
414 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
415     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
416 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
417 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
418 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
419 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
420 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
421 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
422 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
423 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
424 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
425     compatible, and not really small either.
426     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
427     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
428 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
429     to crashes.
430 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
431     colours.
432 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
433 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
434 root 1.493
435 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
436 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
437     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
438     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
439 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
440     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
441     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
442 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
443     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
444 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
445 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
446     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
447 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
448 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
449 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
450 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
451 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
452 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
453 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
454 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
455     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
456     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
457 root 1.474
458 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
459 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
460     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
461     Chuck Blake.
462 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
463     obscure the mouse cursor position.
464 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
465 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
466     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
467 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
468     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
469 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
470     transfer efficiency.
471 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
472 root 1.463
473 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
474 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
475 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
476     while the user still drags.
477 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
478     not drawn correctly.
479 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
480     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
481 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
482     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
483 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
484     stripping whitespace.
485 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
486 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
487 root 1.452
488 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
489 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
490 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
491 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
492     (also a bug in original rxvt).
493 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
494     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
495     partial patch).
496     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
497     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
498 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
499 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
500 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
501 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
502 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
503 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
504 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
505     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
506     - slight overall speed improvements.
507     - considerably improved code clarity.
508 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
509     buffer.
510 root 1.437
511 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
512 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
513     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
514     (matters only for rxvtd).
515 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
516 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
517 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
518 root 1.431
519 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
520 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
521 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
522     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
523     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
524     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
525     percentage by 100-percentage.
526     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
527     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
528     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
529     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
530     windows.
531     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
532     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
533     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
534     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
535     - replaced INSTALL file.
536    
537 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
538 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
539 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
540     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
541     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
542     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
543     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
544     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
545 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
546 root 1.411
547 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
548 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
549     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
550     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
551     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
552     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
553     Affects display in iso14755 box.
554     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
555     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
556     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
557     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
558     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
559     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
560     cutting pieces off of characters.
561     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
562     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
563     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
564     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
565     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
566     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
567     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
568 root 1.399
569 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
570 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
571 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
572     meaning of the given key.
573     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
574     (patch by Martin Edlman).
575 root 1.394
576 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
577     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
578 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
579     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
580     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
581 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
582 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
583 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
584 root 1.433 to disable it.
585 root 1.393
586 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
587     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
588 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
589     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
590     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
591     with modifiers.
592 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
593     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
594 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
595     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
596     and clear the scrollback buffer.
597 root 1.389
598 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
599 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
600 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
601     a command.
602     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
603     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
604     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
605     in Perl/Gtk2.
606     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
607     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
608     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
609     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
610     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
611     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
612     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
613     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
614     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
615     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
616     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
617     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
618     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
619     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
620     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
621 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
622 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
623     rxvt-unicode).
624     - get rid of the intpro files.
625 root 1.373
626 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
627 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
628 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
629     (Kuang-che Wu).
630     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
631     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
632     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
633     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
634     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
635     along with other, similar, cleanups.
636     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
637     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
638     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
639     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
640     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
641     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
642 root 1.361
643 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
644     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
645 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
646     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
647     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
648     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
649     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
650     his patience and time in tracking this down).
651     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
652     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
653 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
654 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
655     by Joël Riou).
656     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
657     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
658     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
659     - shaved off some code segment size.
660     - various code cleanups.
661     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
662 root 1.360
663 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
664 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
665     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
666     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
667     -pixmap is active.
668     - new option/resource imFont.
669     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
670     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
671     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
672     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
673     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
674     (WU Fengguang).
675     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
676     examples (rxvt.1).
677     - removed src/test completely.
678     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
679 root 1.287
680 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
681 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
682     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
683     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
684     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
685     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
686     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
687     resulting in segfaults.
688     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
689     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
690     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
691     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
692     (Mikael Magnusson).
693     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
694     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
695     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
696     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
697     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
698     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
699     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
700     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
701     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
702     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
703     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
704     - initialize the locale much earlier.
705     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
706 root 1.331
707 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
708 root 1.430 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
709     black on initial startup.
710     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
711     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
712 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.

754     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
755     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

808     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
809     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)

811     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
812     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
813     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
814     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
815     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
816     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
817     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
818     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more

820     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

836     - support select&paste of tab characters.
837     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported

839     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
840     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
841     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
842     screen updates with curses.
843     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
844     by spaces.
845     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
846     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
847     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
848     is just too slow for this to work.
849     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
850     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
851     implement. use --enable-styles.
852     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
853     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
854     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
855     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
856     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

860     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
861     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
862     (only for non-bold right now).
863     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
864     - better default font size and style.
865     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
866     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
867     single character against the base font extents and will only
868     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
869     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
870     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
871     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
872     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
873     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
874     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
875     screen height.
876     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
877     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
878     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
879     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
880     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
881     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
882     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.

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

907     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
908     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
909     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
910     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
911     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
912     works.
913 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

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

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

931     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
932     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
933     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
934     a little window or so) would be welcome.
935     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
936     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
937     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
938     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
939     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

947     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
948     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
949     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
950     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
951     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
952     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
953     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
954     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
955     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
956     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
957     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
958     needs testing anyways.
959     - more complete compile options help output.
960     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
961     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1090     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1091     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1092     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1093 pcg 1.91
1094 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1095     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1096     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1097 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1098     - removed old selection style completely.
1099     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1100     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1101     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1102     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1103     be used from within rxvt.
1104     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1105 pcg 1.83
1106 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1107     - code cleanup release.
1108     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1109 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1110     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1111     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1112     all files.
1113     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1114     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1115 pcg 1.74
1116 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1117 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1118     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1119     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1120     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1121     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1122 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1123 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1124     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1125     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1126     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1127     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1128     --disable-xgetdefault.
1129     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1130     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1131     unicode character.
1132 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1133 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1134 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1135 pcg 1.69
1136 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1137 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1138 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1139     settings.
1140     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1141     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1142     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1143     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1144     mbrtowc.
1145     - more robust encoding name matching.
1146     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1147     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1148     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1149     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1150     resources and docs.
1151     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1152 pcg 1.58
1153 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1154     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1155 root 1.430 - some doc cleanup
1156     - configure cleanup
1157     - viscii enabled by default
1158     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1159 pcg 1.50
1160     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1161     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1162    
1163 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1164 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1165 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1166     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1167     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1168     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1169     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1170     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1171     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1172     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1173     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1174     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1175     reported by joel reed.
1176     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1177     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1178     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1179     being selected.
1180     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1181     - removed greek support.
1182     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1183     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1184     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1185 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1186 root 1.430 contributed.
1187     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1188     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1189     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1190     - many other minor bugfixes.
1191 pcg 1.26
1192 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1193 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1194 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1195 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1196     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1197     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1198 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1199     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1200     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1201     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1202 pcg 1.19
1203 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1204     - further cleanups.
1205 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1206     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1207     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1208     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1209     please drop me a note.
1210 pcg 1.16
1211 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1212 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1213 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1214     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1215     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1216     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1217     was never implemented
1218 pcg 1.13
1219 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1220 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1221 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1222     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1223     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1224     reported by fefe
1225     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1226     Markus Demleitner
1227     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1228     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1229     - completely removed non-working graphics mode

1235     - better error reporting for unknown options
1236 pcg 1.1
1237 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
