|
|
24 | - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char * |
|
|
25 | in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader. |
|
|
26 | - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters |
|
|
27 | was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by |
|
|
28 | Mikachu). |
|
|
29 | - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson. |
|
|
30 | - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on |
|
|
31 | systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon). |
|
|
32 | - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled |
|
|
33 | (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne). |
|
|
34 | - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal |
|
|
35 | input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
36 | - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every |
|
|
37 | refresh (reported by Mikachu). |
|
|
38 | - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being |
|
|
39 | recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/). |
|
|
40 | - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also, |
|
|
41 | try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name |
|
|
42 | (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/). |
|
|
43 | - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes |
|
|
44 | sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu). |
|
|
45 | - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages |
|
|
46 | is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell). |
|
|
47 | - update to libptytty 1.3. |
|
|
48 | - replace maxosc-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move |
|
|
49 | the old version to macosx-pastebin-native. |
|
|
50 | - document the -uc option (exg). |
|
|
51 | - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills. |
|
|
52 | - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API. |
|
|
53 | - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default |
|
|
54 | namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even |
|
|
55 | though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world |
|
|
56 | in need of fixing. go figure. |
|
|
57 | - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten). |
|
|
58 | - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen |
|
|
59 | to the current screen. the srceen can be manipulated using |
|
|
60 | the new ->selection_screen method. |
|
|
61 | - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT |
|
|
62 | (based on patch by exg). |
|
|
63 | - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection. |
|
|
64 | - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease. |
23 | |

68 | - updates libev to 3.48. |

69 | - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects |

|
|
74 | when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar). |
|
|
75 | - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line |
|
