Revision 1.379 by root, Thu Feb 17 12:06:21 2005 UTC

1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1TODO: switch default keypad mode to cope for broken apps.
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually 2TODO: manpage 900mb update
3xfree86's xterm). 3TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
4TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences.
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize
8WISH: searchable backlog
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
10WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
12WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
4 14
5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 15 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 16 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
7TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 17 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
8TODO: tabbed windows 18 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
19 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
20 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
21 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
22 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
23 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
24 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
25 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
26 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
27 rxvt-unicode).
28 - get rid of the intpro files.
29
305.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
31 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
32 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
33 (Kuang-che Wu).
34 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
35 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
36 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
37 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
38 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
39 along with other, similar, cleanups.
40 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
41 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
42 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
43 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
44 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
45 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
46
475.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
48 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
49 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
50 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
51 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
52 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
53 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
54 his patience and time in tracking this down).
55 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
56 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
57 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
58 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
59 by Joël Riou).
60 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
61 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
62 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
63 - shaved off some code segment size.
64 - various code cleanups.
65 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
66
674.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
68 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
69 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
70 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
71 -pixmap is active.
72 - new option/resource imFont.
73 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
74 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
75 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
76 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
77 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
78 (WU Fengguang).
79 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
80 examples (rxvt.1).
81 - removed src/test completely.
82 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
83
844.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
85 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
86 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
87 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
88 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
89 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
90 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
91 resulting in segfaults.
92 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
93 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
94 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
95 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
96 (Mikael Magnusson).
97 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
98 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
99 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
100 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
101 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
102 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
103 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
104 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
105 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
106 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
107 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
108 - initialize the locale much earlier.
109 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
110
1114.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
112 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
113 black on initial startup.
114 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
115 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
116 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
117 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
118 additional multimedia keys.
119 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
120 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
121
1224.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
123 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
124 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
125 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
126 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
127 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
128 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
129 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
130 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
131 ignored.
132 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
133 instead.
134 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
135 (reported by hednod).
136 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
137 - fix atom name enumeration.
138
1394.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
140 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
141 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
142 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
143 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
144 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
145
1464.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
147 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
148 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
149 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
150 titles etc.
151 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
152 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
153 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
154 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
155 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
156 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
157 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
158 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
159 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
160 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
161 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
162 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
163 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
164 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
165
1664.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
167 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
168 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
169 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
170 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
171 thoroughly.
172 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
173 now, too.
174
1754.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
176 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
177 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
178 on high-latency networks.
179 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
180 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
181 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
182 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
183 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
184 by Gunnar Ritter.
185 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
186 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
187
1884.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
189 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
190 -ssc/-ssr settings.
191 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
192 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
193 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
194 - add compile fix for darwin.
195 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
196 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
197 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
198
1994.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
200 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
201 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
202 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
203 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
204 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
205 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
206 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
207 ... terminated by a fix.
208 - new supported preeeditType "None".
209 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
210 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
211 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
212 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
213 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
214 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
215 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
216 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
217 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
218 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
219 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
220 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
221 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
222 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
223 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
224 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
225 in tracking this down.
226 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
227 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
228
2293.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
230 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
231 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
232
2333.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
234 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
235 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
236 installed if tic is available.
237 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
238 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
239 - removed README.unicode.
240 - support select&paste of tab characters.
241 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
242 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
243 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
244 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
245 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
246 screen updates with curses.
247 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
248 by spaces.
249 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
250 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
251 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
252 is just too slow for this to work.
253 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
254 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
255 implement. use --enable-styles.
256 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
257 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
258 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
259 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
260 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
261 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
262 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
263 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
264 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
265 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
266 (only for non-bold right now).
267 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
268 - better default font size and style.
269 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
270 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
271 single character against the base font extents and will only
272 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
273 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
274 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
275 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
276 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
277 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
278 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
279 screen height.
280 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
281 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
282 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
283 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
284 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
285 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
286 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
287 - removed OSC 702.
288 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
289 confused by it rather than using it.
