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 ayin 1.838 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
22 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
23     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
24     report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
25     instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
26 root 1.833 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
27     till the first event arrives. or so.
28 root 1.831 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
29 root 1.837 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
30 root 1.832 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
31     - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
32     resets the terminal.
33 root 1.837 - scrollbar code cleanups.
34 root 1.831
35 root 1.827 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
36 root 1.820 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
37     when the command exited but only on the next X event.
38 root 1.827 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
39 root 1.824 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
40     would not clear it visually in another.
41 root 1.826 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
42 root 1.827 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
43 root 1.823 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
44 root 1.822 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
45 root 1.824 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
46 root 1.828 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
47 root 1.820
48 root 1.819 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
49 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
50     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
51     effects.
52 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
53 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
54     fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
55     - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
56     text was visible.
57 root 1.817 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
58     some minor improvements.
59 root 1.818 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
60     display and not once per terminal window.
61 root 1.817 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
62 root 1.812
63 root 1.811 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
64     - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
65     when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
66 ayin 1.810 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
67    
68 root 1.809 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
69 root 1.806 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
70     seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
71 root 1.807 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
72     especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
73     urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
74 ayin 1.808 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
75     - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

79    
80 root 1.803 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
81 root 1.798 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
82 root 1.793 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
83     the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
84 root 1.802 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).

86     - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
87     on (typical) 64 bit systems.
88 ayin 1.797 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap

109 root 1.761 patch by Sasha Vasko.
110 root 1.765 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
111     (patch by Philip Paeps).

117 root 1.765 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
118     - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
119 tpope 1.766 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
120 ayin 1.767 extension (tpope).
121 ayin 1.771 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
122 root 1.772 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
123 root 1.777 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
124     problems.
125 root 1.751
126 root 1.750 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
127 root 1.730 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
128 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
129     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
130 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
131 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
132     (found by Aiviru).
133 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
134     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
135     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
136     case to work around for :/
137 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
138 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
139     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
140     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
141 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
142 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
143     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
144 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
145     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
146     Paskevich).
147 root 1.744 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
148 root 1.745 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
149 root 1.746 - update libptytty.
150     - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
151 root 1.747 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
152     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
153 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
154 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
155 ayin 1.748 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
156     the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
157 ayin 1.749 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
158 ayin 1.767 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
159 root 1.730
160 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
161 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
162 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
163     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
164 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
165     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
166     Reported by Takano Akio.
167 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
168 root 1.722 reported by exg.
169 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
170 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
171 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
172 root 1.728 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
173 root 1.722
174 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
175 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
176     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
177     circumstances (reported by exg).
178 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
179     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
180 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
181     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
182 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
183     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
184 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
185     - update to libptytty-1.0.
186 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
187     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
188 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
189 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
190 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
191     bug #143985).
192 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
193 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
194     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
195 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
196 root 1.698
197 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
198     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
199 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
200 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
201     it does! :->
202 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
203 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
204 root 1.691
205 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
206 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
207     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
208     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
209     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
210     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
211 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
212     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
213 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
214     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
215 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
216 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
217     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
218     uppercase character.
219 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
220 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
221     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
222 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
223     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
224 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
225     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
226 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
227     generic osc_seq.
228 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
229     were invoked recursively.
230 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
231     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
232 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
233 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
234     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
235     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
236 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
237 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
238 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
239 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
240     follow C++ closely enough.
241 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
242 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
243 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
244     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
245 root 1.661
246 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
247 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
248 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
249     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
250 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
251 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
252 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
253 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
254     refresh bugs please.
255 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
256 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
257     improve size hint setting.
258 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
259     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
260     to correctly position their preedit window.
261 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
262     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
263 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
264 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
265     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
266 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
267     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
268 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
269 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
270 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
271     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
272     (reported by Paco-Paco).
273 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
274     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
275 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
276 root 1.645
277 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
278 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
279 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
280     resource value.
281 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
282 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
283     relevant tab window.
284     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
285     (initial patch by hednod).
286 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
287     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
288 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
289     the benefit of automove-background.
290 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
291 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
292 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
293 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
294     __linux__.
295 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
296     the colour components.
297 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
298     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
299 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
300     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
301 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
302 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
303 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
304 root 1.617
305 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
306 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
307 ayin 1.767 detection:
308 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
309     - overlap detection was improved.
310     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
311     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
312     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
313     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
314     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
315     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
316     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
317     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
318 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
319     broken.
320     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
321 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
322     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
323 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
324 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
325 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
326 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
327 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
328     an "[alpha]" prefix.
329 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
330     transparent. Long Live Xft!
331     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
332     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
333 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
334     on a pseudocolor screen.
335 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
336     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
337     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
338     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
339     - small configure updates.
340 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
341 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
342     the debian package.
343 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
344     but much newer than the old one.
345 root 1.598
346 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
347 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
348     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
349 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
350     - fixed version options: line output.
351     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
352 root 1.593
353 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
354 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
355     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
356 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
357 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
358 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
359     selection extension.
360 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
361 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
362 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
363     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
364 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
365 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
366     needs the careful rendering mode.
367     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
368     too wide and needs careful mode.
369 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
370 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
371 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
372     atoms only once per display.
373 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
374 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with

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

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

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

905     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
906     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
907     (only for non-bold right now).
908     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
909     - better default font size and style.
910     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
911     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
912     single character against the base font extents and will only
913     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
914     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
915     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
916     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
917     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
918     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
919     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
920     screen height.
921     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
922     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
923     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
924     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
925     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
926     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
927     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
928     - removed OSC 702.
929     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be

936 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
937 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
938     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
939     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
940     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
941     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
942     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
943     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
944     close).
945     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
946     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
947     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
948     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
949 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
950 root 1.430 could not be created.
951     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
952     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
953     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
954     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
955     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
956     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
957     works.
958 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

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

973     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
974     needs access to a local shell window).
975     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
976     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
977     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
978     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
979     a little window or so) would be welcome.
980     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
981     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
982     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
983     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
984     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

991     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
992     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
993     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
994     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
995     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
996     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
997     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
998     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
999     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1000     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1001     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1002     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1003     needs testing anyways.
1004     - more complete compile options help output.
1005     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1006     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1088 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1089     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1090 root 1.430 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1091     - fix some minor bugs.
1092 pcg 1.110
1093 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1094 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1095 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1096     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1097     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1098     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1099     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1100 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1101 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1102     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1103 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1104 root 1.430 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1105     - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1106     overwritten (as is common).
1107     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1108     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1109 pcg 1.108
1110     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1111     - minor doc corrections.
1112 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1113     avoid clashes with xterm.
1114     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1115     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1116     window colour when arg is "?".
1117     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1118     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1119     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1120     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1121     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1122     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1123     (FRILLS).
1124     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1125     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1126     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1127     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1128 pcg 1.108
1129 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1130     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1131 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1132     - more informative error messages.
1133     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1134     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1135     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1136     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1137     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1138 pcg 1.91
1139 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1140     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1141     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1142 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1143     - removed old selection style completely.
1144     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1145     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1146     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1147     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1148     be used from within rxvt.
1149     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1150 pcg 1.83
1151 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1152     - code cleanup release.
1153     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1154 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1155     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1156     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1157     all files.
1158     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1159     --enable-xgetdefaults.
1160 pcg 1.74
1161 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1162 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1163     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1164     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1165     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1166     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1167 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1168 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1169     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1170     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1171     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1172     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1173     --disable-xgetdefault.
1174     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1175     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1176     unicode character.
1177 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1178 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1179 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1180 pcg 1.69
1181 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1182 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1183 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1184     settings.
1185     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1186     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1187     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1188     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1189     mbrtowc.
1190     - more robust encoding name matching.
1191     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1192     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1193     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1194     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1195     resources and docs.
1196     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1197 pcg 1.58

1203     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1204 pcg 1.50
1205     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1206     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1207    
1208 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1209 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1210 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1211     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1212     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1213     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1214     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1215     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1216     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1217     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1218     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1219     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1220     reported by joel reed.
1221     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1222     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1223     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1224     being selected.
1225     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1226     - removed greek support.
1227     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1228     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1229     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1230 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1231 root 1.430 contributed.
1232     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1233     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1234     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1235     - many other minor bugfixes.
1236 pcg 1.26
1237 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1238 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1239 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1240 root 1.528 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1241     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1242     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1243 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1244     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1245     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1246     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1247 pcg 1.19
1248 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1249     - further cleanups.
1250 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1251     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1252     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1253     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1254     please drop me a note.
1255 pcg 1.16
1256 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1257 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1258 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1259     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1260     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1261     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1262     was never implemented
1263 pcg 1.13
1264 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1265 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1266 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1267     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1268     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1269     reported by fefe
1270     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1271     Markus Demleitner
1272     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1273     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1274     - completely removed non-working graphics mode

1276 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1277 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1280     - better error reporting for unknown options
1281 pcg 1.1
1282 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1283 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
