11 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
12 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
13 needs access to a local shell window).
14 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
15 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
16 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
17 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
18 a little window or so) would be welcome.
19 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
20 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
21 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
22 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
23 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
24 added there.
25 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
26 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
27 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
28 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
29 instead of being ignored.
30 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
31 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
32 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
33 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
34 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
35 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
36 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
37 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
38 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
39 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
40 - SYNC. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
41 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
42 needs testing anyways.
43 - more complete compile options help output.
44 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
45 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
46 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
47 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
48 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
49 - minor doc fix.
50
513.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
52 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
53 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
54 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
55 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
56 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
57 memmove :)
58 - minor cleanups.
59 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
60 (debian bug #169415).
61 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
62 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
63 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
64 - updated config.guess.
65
663.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
67 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
68 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
69 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
70 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
71 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
72 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
73 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
74 speeding up scrolling immensely.
75 - various other optimizations.
76 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
77
783.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
79 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
80 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
81 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
82 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
83 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
84 Mikael Magnusson).
85 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
86 Mikael Magnusson).
87 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
88 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
89 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
90
913.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
92 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
93 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
94 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
95 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
96 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
97 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
98 with ^V (SYN).
99 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
100
1013.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
102 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
103 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
104 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
105 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
106 well as with other terminal emulators.
107 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
108 (reported by elmex).
109 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
110 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
111 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
112 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
113 Bloch.
114
1153.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
116 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
117 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
118 sorry).
119 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
120 make it a little bit more correct c++).
121
1222.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
123 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
124 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
125 - minor i18n issue fixes.
126
1272.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
128 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
129 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
130 - fix some minor bugs.
131
1322.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
133 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
134 for the keymappings.
135 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
136 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
137 - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
138 extension and is slightly ugly.
139 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
140 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
141 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
142 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
143 - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
144 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
145 overwritten (as is common).
146 - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
147 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
148
1492.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
150 - minor doc corrections.
151 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
152 avoid clashes with xterm.
153 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
154 - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
155 colour when arg is "?".
156 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
157 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
158 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
159 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
160 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
161 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
162 (FRILLS).
163 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
164 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
165 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
166 - set _NET_WM_PID.
167
1682.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
169 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
170 - support more 8-bit controls.
171 - more informative error messages.
172 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
173 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
174 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
175 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
176 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
177
1782.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
179 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
180 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
181 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
182 - removed old selection style completely.
183 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
184 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
185 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
186 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
187 be used from within rxvt.
188 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
189
1902.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
191 - code cleanup release.
192 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
193 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
194 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
195 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
196 all files.
197 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
198 --enable-xgetdefaults.
