3 root 1.784 TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4 root 1.650 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5 root 1.549 TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6 root 1.669 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7 root 1.590 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8 root 1.640 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
9 root 1.287 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
10 root 1.641 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
11 root 1.689 TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15 root 1.671 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
16 root 1.659 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one

19 ayin 1.795
20 root 1.835 9.0
21 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
22     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
23     report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
24     instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
25 root 1.833 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
26     till the first event arrives. or so.
27 root 1.831 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
28 root 1.837 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
29 root 1.832 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
30     - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
31     resets the terminal.
32 root 1.837 - scrollbar code cleanups.
33 root 1.831
34 root 1.827 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
35 root 1.820 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
36     when the command exited but only on the next X event.
37 root 1.827 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
38 root 1.824 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
39     would not clear it visually in another.
40 root 1.826 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
41 root 1.827 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
42 root 1.823 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
43 root 1.822 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
44 root 1.824 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.

46 root 1.820
47 root 1.819 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
48 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
49     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
50     effects.
51 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
52 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
53     fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
54     - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
55     text was visible.
56 root 1.817 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
57     some minor improvements.
58 root 1.818 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
59     display and not once per terminal window.

61 root 1.812
62 root 1.811 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
63     - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
64     when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).

66    
67 root 1.809 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007

69     seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
70 root 1.807 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
71     especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
72     urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
73 ayin 1.808 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
74     - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

80 root 1.798 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
81 root 1.793 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
82     the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
83 root 1.802 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).

116 root 1.765 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
117     - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
118 tpope 1.766 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
119 ayin 1.767 extension (tpope).
120 ayin 1.771 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
121 root 1.772 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
122 root 1.777 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
123     problems.
124 root 1.751
125 root 1.750 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
126 root 1.730 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
127 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
128     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
129 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
130 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
131     (found by Aiviru).
132 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
133     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
134     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
135     case to work around for :/
136 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
137 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
138     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
139     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
140 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
141 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
142     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
143 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
144     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
145     Paskevich).
146 root 1.744 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
147 root 1.745 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
148 root 1.746 - update libptytty.
149     - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
150 root 1.747 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
151     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
152 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
153 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
154 ayin 1.748 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of

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

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

855     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just

857     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
858     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
859     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
860     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
861     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
862     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more

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

883     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
884     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
885     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
886     screen updates with curses.
887     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
888     by spaces.
889     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
890     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
891     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
892     is just too slow for this to work.
893     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
894     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
895     implement. use --enable-styles.
896     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
897     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
898     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
899     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
900     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

904     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
905     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
906     (only for non-bold right now).
907     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
908     - better default font size and style.
909     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
910     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
911     single character against the base font extents and will only
912     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
913     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
914     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
915     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
916     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
917     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
918     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
919     screen height.
920     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
921     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
922     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
923     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
924     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
925     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
926     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.

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

950     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
951     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
952     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
953     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
954     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
955     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
956     works.

964     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
965     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

991     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
992     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
993     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
994     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
995     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
996     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
997     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:

1004     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.

1089 root 1.430 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1090     - fix some minor bugs.
1091 pcg 1.110
1092 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1093 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1094 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1095     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1096     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1097     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1098     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1099 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1100 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1101     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1102 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1103 root 1.430 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1104     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1105     overwritten (as is common).
1106     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1107     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1108 pcg 1.108
1109     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1110     - minor doc corrections.
1111 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1112     avoid clashes with xterm.
1113     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1114     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1115     window colour when arg is "?".
1116     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1117     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1118     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1119     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1120     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1121     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1122     (FRILLS).
1123     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1124     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1125     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1126     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1127 pcg 1.108
1128 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1129     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1130 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1131     - more informative error messages.
1132     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1133     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1134     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1135     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1136     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1137 pcg 1.91
1138 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1139     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1140     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1141 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1142     - removed old selection style completely.
1143     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1144     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1145     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1146     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1147     be used from within rxvt.
1148     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1149 pcg 1.83
1150 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1151     - code cleanup release.
1152     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1153 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1154     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1155     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1156     all files.
1157     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1158     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1159 pcg 1.74
1160 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1161 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1162     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1163     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1164     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1165     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1166 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1167 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1168     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1169     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1170     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1171     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1172     --disable-xgetdefault.
1173     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1174     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1175     unicode character.
1176 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1177 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1178 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1179 pcg 1.69
1180 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1181 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1182 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1183     settings.
1184     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1185     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1186     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1187     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1188     mbrtowc.
1189     - more robust encoding name matching.
1190     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1191     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1192     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1193     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1194     resources and docs.
1195     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1196 pcg 1.58
1197 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004

1203 pcg 1.50
1204     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1205     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1206    
1207 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1208 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1209 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1210     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1211     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1212     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1213     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1214     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1215     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1216     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1217     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1218     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1219     reported by joel reed.
1220     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1221     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1222     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1223     being selected.
1224     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1225     - removed greek support.
1226     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1227     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1228     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1229 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1230 root 1.430 contributed.
1231     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1232     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1233     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1234     - many other minor bugfixes.
1235 pcg 1.26
1236 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1237 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1238 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1239 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1240     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1241     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1242 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1243     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1244     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1245     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1246 pcg 1.19
1247 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1248     - further cleanups.
1249 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1250     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1251     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1252     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1253     please drop me a note.
1254 pcg 1.16
1255 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1256 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1257 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1258     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1259     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1260     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1261     was never implemented
1262 pcg 1.13
1263 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1264 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1265 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1266     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1267     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1268     reported by fefe
1269     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1270     Markus Demleitner
1271     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING

1275 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1276 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1279     - better error reporting for unknown options
1280 pcg 1.1
1281 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
