145.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
15 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
16 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
17 meaning of the given key.
18 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
19 (patch by Martin Edlman).
20
215.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
22 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
23 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
24 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
25 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
26 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
27 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
28 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
29 to disble it.
30
315.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
32 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
33 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
34 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
35 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
36 with modifiers.
37 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
38 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
39 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
40 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
41 and clear the scrollback buffer.
42
435.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
44 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
45 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
46 a command.
47 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
48 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
49 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
50 in Perl/Gtk2.
51 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
52 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
53 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
54 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
55 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
56 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
57 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
58 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
59 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
60 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
61 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
62 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
63 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
64 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
65 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
66 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
67 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
68 rxvt-unicode).
69 - get rid of the intpro files.
70
715.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
72 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
73 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
74 (Kuang-che Wu).
75 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
76 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
77 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
78 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
79 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
80 along with other, similar, cleanups.
81 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
82 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
83 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
84 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
85 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
86 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
87
885.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
89 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
90 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
91 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
92 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
93 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
94 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
95 his patience and time in tracking this down).
96 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
97 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
98 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
99 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
100 by Joël Riou).
101 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
102 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
103 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
104 - shaved off some code segment size.
105 - various code cleanups.
106 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
107
1084.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
109 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
110 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
111 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
112 -pixmap is active.
113 - new option/resource imFont.
114 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
115 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
116 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
117 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
118 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
119 (WU Fengguang).
120 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
121 examples (rxvt.1).
122 - removed src/test completely.
123 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
124
1254.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
126 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
127 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
128 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
129 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
130 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
131 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
132 resulting in segfaults.
133 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
134 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
135 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
136 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
137 (Mikael Magnusson).
138 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
139 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
140 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
141 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
142 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
143 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
144 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
145 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
146 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
147 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
148 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
149 - initialize the locale much earlier.
150 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
151
1524.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
153 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
154 black on initial startup.
155 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
156 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
157 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
158 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
159 additional multimedia keys.
160 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
161 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
162
1634.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
164 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
165 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
166 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
167 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
168 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
169 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
170 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
171 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
172 ignored.
173 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
174 instead.
175 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
176 (reported by hednod).
177 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
178 - fix atom name enumeration.
179
1804.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
181 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
182 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
183 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
184 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
185 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
186
1874.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
188 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
189 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
190 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
191 titles etc.
192 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
193 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
194 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
195 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
196 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
197 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
198 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
199 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
200 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
201 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
202 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
203 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
204 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
205 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
206
2074.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
208 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
209 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
210 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
211 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
212 thoroughly.
213 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
214 now, too.
