1 root 1.462 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2    
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 1.872 TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
12     WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
13 root 1.689 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
14     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
15     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
16 root 1.864 WISH: coloured pastebin
17 root 1.671 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
18 root 1.659 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
19 root 1.611 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
20 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
21 ayin 1.795
22 root 1.880 TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
23 root 1.896 TODO: cursor restore/rendition restore on rmcup
24 root 1.886 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
25     when a window was closed.
26 root 1.887 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
27     scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
28 root 1.888 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
29     when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
30 root 1.889 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
31     when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
32     makes copy&paste work.
33 root 1.879 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
34     no longer apply.
35 root 1.881 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
36     - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
37 root 1.878 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
38 root 1.875 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
39 root 1.876 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 root 1.875 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
41 root 1.883 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
42     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
43 root 1.882 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
44     the only known workaround.
45 root 1.886 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
46 root 1.890 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
47     to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
48     - try to work around a race between urxvt and wm's on programmatic
49     resizes by temporarily disabling size hints.
50 root 1.891 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
51     and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
52     as mouse reporting.
53     - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
54     tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
55 root 1.895 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
56 root 1.898 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
57 root 1.897 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
58     - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
59 root 1.899 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
60 root 1.875
61 root 1.873 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
62 root 1.870 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
63     - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
64 root 1.871 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
65 root 1.865 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
66 root 1.871 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
67 root 1.862 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
68 root 1.861 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
69     after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
70     issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
71     sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
72 root 1.871 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
73     broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
74     help working window managers as well.
75     - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
76 root 1.869 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
77 root 1.857 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
78 root 1.872 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
79     from the toplevel window to the children.
80 root 1.859 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
81 root 1.871 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.

84 root 1.861
85 root 1.853 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
86     - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
87 ayin 1.852 - fix build with !xft.
88 root 1.855 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
89 ayin 1.852
90 root 1.851 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
91 root 1.848 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
92     with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
93     received" problem, again :)
94 root 1.851 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
95 root 1.848
96 root 1.847 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
97 root 1.834 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
98     with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
99     report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
100     instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
101 root 1.840 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
102     - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
103 root 1.839 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
104 root 1.844 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
105     work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
106     channels or background images are used.
107 root 1.833 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
108     till the first event arrives. or so.
109 root 1.840 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
110 root 1.831 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
111 root 1.837 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
112 root 1.832 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
113     - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
114     resets the terminal.
115 root 1.837 - scrollbar code cleanups.
116 root 1.845 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
117 root 1.843 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.

120 root 1.827 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
121 root 1.820 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
122     when the command exited but only on the next X event.
123 root 1.827 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
124 root 1.824 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
125     would not clear it visually in another.
126 root 1.826 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
127 root 1.827 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
128 root 1.823 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
129 root 1.822 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
130 root 1.824 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
131 root 1.828 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
132 root 1.820
133 root 1.819 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
134 root 1.812 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
135     options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
136     effects.
137 root 1.813 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
138 root 1.814 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
139     fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
140     - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
141     text was visible.
142 root 1.817 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
143     some minor improvements.
144 root 1.818 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per

152    
153 root 1.809 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
154 root 1.806 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
155     seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
156 root 1.807 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
157     especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
158     urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
159 ayin 1.808 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
160     - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
161 root 1.805

166 root 1.798 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
167 root 1.793 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
168     the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
169 root 1.802 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
170 root 1.800 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
171     - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
172     on (typical) 64 bit systems.
173 ayin 1.797 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap

175 root 1.799 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
176 root 1.803 - parallel builds should work once more.

190 root 1.768 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
191 root 1.765 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
192     /usr/X11R6/lib.
193 ayin 1.780 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
194 root 1.761 patch by Sasha Vasko.
195 root 1.765 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint

202 root 1.765 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
203     - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
204 tpope 1.766 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
205 ayin 1.767 extension (tpope).
206 ayin 1.771 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
207 root 1.772 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
208 root 1.777 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
209     problems.
210 root 1.751
211 root 1.750 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
212 root 1.730 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
213 root 1.732 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
214     (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
215 root 1.733 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
216 root 1.735 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
217     (found by Aiviru).
218 root 1.737 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
219     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
220     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
221     case to work around for :/
222 tpope 1.736 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
223 root 1.737 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
224     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
225     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
226 ayin 1.767 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
227 root 1.742 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
228     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
229 root 1.743 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
230     set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei

233 root 1.745 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
234 root 1.746 - update libptytty.
235     - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
236 root 1.747 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
237     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
238 ayin 1.748 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
239 ayin 1.767 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
240 ayin 1.748 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of

245 root 1.727 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
246 root 1.731 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
247 root 1.724 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
248     only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
249 root 1.725 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
250     confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
251     Reported by Takano Akio.
252 root 1.724 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
253 root 1.722 reported by exg.
254 root 1.723 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
255 root 1.726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
256 root 1.731 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).

258 root 1.722
259 root 1.717 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
260 root 1.713 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
261     thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
262     circumstances (reported by exg).
263 root 1.704 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
264     basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
265 root 1.702 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
266     - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
267 root 1.709 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
268     - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
269 root 1.711 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
270     - update to libptytty-1.0.
271 root 1.699 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
272     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
273 root 1.712 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
274 root 1.701 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
275 root 1.702 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
276     bug #143985).
277 root 1.701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
278 root 1.707 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
279     should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
280 root 1.711 - manpage fix by exg.
281 root 1.698
282 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
283     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
284 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
285 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
286     it does! :->
287 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
288 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
289 root 1.691
290 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
291 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
292     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
293     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
294     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
295     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
296 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
297     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
298 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
299     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
300 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
301 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
302     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
303     uppercase character.
304 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
305 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
306     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
307 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
308     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
309 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
310     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
311 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
312     generic osc_seq.
313 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
314     were invoked recursively.
315 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
316     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
317 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
318 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
319     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
320     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
321 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
322 ayin 1.767 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
323 root 1.670 by omatunto_.
324 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
325     follow C++ closely enough.
326 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
327 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
328 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
329     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
330 root 1.661
331 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
332 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
333 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
334     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
335 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
336 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
337 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
338 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
339     refresh bugs please.
340 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
341 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
342     improve size hint setting.
343 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
344     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
345     to correctly position their preedit window.
346 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
347     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
348 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
349 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
350     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
351 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
352     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
353 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
354 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
355 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
356     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
357     (reported by Paco-Paco).
358 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
359     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
360 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
361 root 1.645
362 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
363 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
364 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
365     resource value.
366 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
367 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
368     relevant tab window.
369     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
370     (initial patch by hednod).
371 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
372     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
373 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
374     the benefit of automove-background.
375 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
376 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
377 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
378 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
379     __linux__.
380 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
381     the colour components.
382 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
383     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
384 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
385     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
386 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
387 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.

389 root 1.617
390 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
391 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
392 ayin 1.767 detection:
393 root 1.609 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
394     - overlap detection was improved.
395     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
396     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
397     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
398     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
399     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
400     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
401     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
402     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
403 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
404     broken.
405     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
406 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
407     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
408 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
409 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
410 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
411 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
412 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
413     an "[alpha]" prefix.
414 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
415     transparent. Long Live Xft!
416     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
417     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
418 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
419     on a pseudocolor screen.
420 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
421     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
422     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
423     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
424     - small configure updates.
425 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
426 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
427     the debian package.
428 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
429     but much newer than the old one.
430 root 1.598
431 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
432 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,

434 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
435     - fixed version options: line output.
436     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
437 root 1.593
438 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
439 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
440     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
441 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
442 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
443 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
444     selection extension.
445 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
446 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
447 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
448     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
449 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
450 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
451     needs the careful rendering mode.
452     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
453     too wide and needs careful mode.
454 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
455 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
456 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
457     atoms only once per display.
458 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
459 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
460     xterm.
461 root 1.570
462 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
463 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
464     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
465     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
466     ctrl-shift-672c).
467 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
468 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
469 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
470     the primary screen.
471 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
472     could lead to an assertion failure.
473 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
474 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
475     via mouse clicks.
476 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
477 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
478 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
479     in non-synthetic events.
480 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
481 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
482     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
483 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
484     whole urxvt[d] process.
485     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
486     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
487     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
488 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
489 root 1.552
490 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
491 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
492     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
493     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
494     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
495     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
496     special privileges.
497     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
498     itself.
499 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
500     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
501     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
502 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
503     similar stuff.
504 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
505 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
506     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
507 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
508     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
509     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
510     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
511     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
512     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
513 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
514     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
515 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
516 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
517     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
518 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
519     to set the window title.
520     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
521     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
522     at the wrong time.
523 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
524     anymore.
525 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
526 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
527 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
528 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
529     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
530 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
531 root 1.518
532 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
533 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
534 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
535 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
536     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
537 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
538     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
539 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
540     and much much more.
541 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
542 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
543 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
544 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
545     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
546 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
547 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
548 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
549 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
550 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
551 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
552 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
553 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
554 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
555     compatible, and not really small either.
556     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
557     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
558 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
559     to crashes.
560 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
561     colours.
562 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
563 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
564 root 1.493
565 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
566 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
567     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
568     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
569 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
570     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
571     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
572 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
573     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
574 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
575 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
576     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
577 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
578 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
579 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
580 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
581 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
582 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
583 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
584 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
585     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
586     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
587 root 1.474
588 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
589 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
590     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
591     Chuck Blake.
592 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
593     obscure the mouse cursor position.
594 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
595 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
596     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
597 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
598     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
599 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
600     transfer efficiency.
601 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
602 root 1.463
603 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
604 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
605 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
606     while the user still drags.
607 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
608     not drawn correctly.
609 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
610     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
611 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
612     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
613 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
614     stripping whitespace.
615 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
616 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
617 root 1.452
618 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
619 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
620 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
621 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
622     (also a bug in original rxvt).
623 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
624     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
625     partial patch).
626     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
627     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
628 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
629 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
630 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
631 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
632 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
633 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
634 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
635     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
636     - slight overall speed improvements.
637     - considerably improved code clarity.
638 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
639     buffer.
640 root 1.437
641 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
642 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
643     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
644     (matters only for rxvtd).
645 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
646 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
647 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
648 root 1.431
649 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
650 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
651 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
652     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
653     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
654     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
655     percentage by 100-percentage.
656     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
657     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
658     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
659     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
660     windows.
661     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
662     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
663     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
664     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
665     - replaced INSTALL file.
666    
667 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
668 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
669 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
670     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
671     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
672     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
673     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
674     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
675 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
676 root 1.411
677 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
678 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
679     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
680     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
681     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
682     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
683     Affects display in iso14755 box.
684     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
685     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
686     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
687     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
688     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
689     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
690     cutting pieces off of characters.
691     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
692     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
693     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
694     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
695     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
696     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).

699 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
700 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
701 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
702     meaning of the given key.
703     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
704     (patch by Martin Edlman).
705 root 1.394
706 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
707     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
708 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
709     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
710     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
711 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
712 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
713 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
714 root 1.433 to disable it.
715 root 1.393
716 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
717     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
718 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
719     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
720     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
721     with modifiers.
722 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
723     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
724 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
725     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
726     and clear the scrollback buffer.
727 root 1.389
728 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
729 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
730 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
731     a command.
732     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
733     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
734     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
735     in Perl/Gtk2.
736     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
737     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
738     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
739     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
740     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
741     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
742     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
743     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
744     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
745     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
746     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
747     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
748     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
749     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
750     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
751 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
752 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
753     rxvt-unicode).
754     - get rid of the intpro files.
755 root 1.373
756 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005

758 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
759     (Kuang-che Wu).
760     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
761     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
762     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
763     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
764     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
765     along with other, similar, cleanups.
766     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
767     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
768     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
769     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
770     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
771     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.

775 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
776     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
777     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
778     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
779     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
780     his patience and time in tracking this down).
781     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
782     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
783 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
784 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
785     by Joël Riou).
786     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
787     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
788     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
789     - shaved off some code segment size.
790     - various code cleanups.
791     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
792 root 1.360
793 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
794 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
795     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
796     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
797     -pixmap is active.
798     - new option/resource imFont.
799     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
800     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
801     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
802     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
803     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
804     (WU Fengguang).
805     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
806     examples (rxvt.1).
807     - removed src/test completely.
808     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
809 root 1.287
810 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
811 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
812     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
813     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
814     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
815     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
816     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
817     resulting in segfaults.
818     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
819     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
820     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
821     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
822     (Mikael Magnusson).
823     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
824     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
825     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
826     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
827     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
828     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
829     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
830     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
831     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
832     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
833     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
834     - initialize the locale much earlier.
835     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
836 root 1.331
837 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
838 root 1.430 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
839     black on initial startup.
840     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
841     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
842 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
843 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
844     additional multimedia keys.
845     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
846     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
847 root 1.312
848 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
849 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
850 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
851     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
852     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
853     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
854     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
855     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
856     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
857     ignored.
858     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
859     instead.
860     - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
861     (reported by hednod).
862     - fix an unlikely memory leak.
863     - fix atom name enumeration.
864 root 1.291

866     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
867 root 1.430 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
868     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
869     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
870     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
871 root 1.288
872     4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
873 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
874 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
875     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
876     titles etc.
877     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
878     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
879     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
880     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
881     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
882     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
883     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
884     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
885     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
886     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
887     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
888     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
889     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
890     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
891 root 1.272
892 root 1.274 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
893 root 1.430 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
894     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
895     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
896     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
897     thoroughly.
898     - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
899     now, too.
900 root 1.274
901 root 1.272 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
902 root 1.287 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
903 root 1.430 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
904     on high-latency networks.
905     - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
906     in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
907     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
908     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
909     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
910     by Gunnar Ritter.
911     - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored

917 root 1.263 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
918 root 1.430 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
919 root 1.263 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
920 root 1.430 - add compile fix for darwin.
921     - configure fix for transparency without tinting.

924 root 1.263
925 root 1.252 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
926     - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
927 root 1.430 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
928     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
929     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
930     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
931     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
932     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
933     ... terminated by a fix.
934     - new supported preeeditType "None".
935     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
936     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
937     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
938     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
939     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
940     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
941     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
942     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
943     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
944     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
945     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
946     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
947     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
948     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
949     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
950     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
951     in tracking this down.
952     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
953     make install) with the correct program name and other info.
954 root 1.252

961     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
962     installed if tic is available.
963     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
964     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
965     - removed README.unicode.
966     - support select&paste of tab characters.
967     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
968     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
969     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
970     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
971     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
972     screen updates with curses.
973     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
974     by spaces.
975     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
976     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
977     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
978     is just too slow for this to work.
979     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
980     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
981     implement. use --enable-styles.
982     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
983     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
984     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
985     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
986     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
987     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
988 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
989 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
990     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
991     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
992     (only for non-bold right now).
993     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
994     - better default font size and style.
995     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
996     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
997     single character against the base font extents and will only
998     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
999     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1000     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1001     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1002     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1003     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1004     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1005     screen height.
1006     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1007     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1008     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1009     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1010     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1011     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1012     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1013     - removed OSC 702.
1014     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1015     confused by it rather than using it.
1016 root 1.168
1017 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1018     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1019 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1020     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1021 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1022 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1023     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1024     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1025     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1026     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1027     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1028     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1029     close).
1030     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1031     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1032     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1033     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1034 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1035 root 1.430 could not be created.
1036     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1037     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1038     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1039     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1040     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1041     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1042     works.
1043 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1044 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
1045     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1046     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1047     character is a sensible operation.
1048     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1049     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1050     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1051     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1052     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1053     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1054     with selections).

1058     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1059     needs access to a local shell window).
1060     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1061     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1062     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1063     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1064     a little window or so) would be welcome.
1065     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1066     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1067     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1068     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1069     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1070     added there.
1071     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1072     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.

1077     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1078     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1079     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1080     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1081     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1082     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1083     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1084     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1085     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1086     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1087     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1088     needs testing anyways.
1089     - more complete compile options help output.
1090     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1091     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1092     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1093     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
