17 | 4.6 |
|
|
18 | - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even |
|
|
19 | if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. |
|
|
20 | - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup |
|
|
21 | time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3 |
|
|
22 | turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). |
|
|
23 | - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. |
|
|
24 | - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child |
|
|
25 | process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets |
|
|
26 | ignored. |
|
|
27 | - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID |
|
|
28 | instead. |
|
|
29 | - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed |
|
|
30 | (reported by hednod). |
|
|
31 | - fix an unlikely memory leak. |
|
|
32 | - fix atom name enumeration. |
|
|
33 | |
|
|
34 | 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 |
|
|
35 | - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. |
|
|
36 | - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled |
|
|
37 | incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR |
|
|
38 | selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably |
|
|
39 | for large selections, but that seems unavoidable. |
|
|
40 | |
|
|
41 | 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 |
|
|
42 | - rewrote handling of default-char width. |
|
|
43 | - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING |
|
|
44 | for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window |
|
|
45 | titles etc. |
|
|
46 | - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. |
|
|
47 | - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). |
|
|
48 | - fixed a bug in the transparency code. |
|
|
49 | - upgraded iom.[Ch]. |
|
|
50 | - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update. |
|
|
51 | - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line, |
|
|
52 | which got partially overwritten by spaces. |
|
|
53 | - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling |
|
|
54 | and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented. |
|
|
55 | should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding |
|
|
56 | and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker |
|
|
57 | for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS. |
|
|
58 | - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton. |
|
|
59 | - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before. |
|
|
60 | |
|
|
61 | 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004 |
|
|
62 | - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch. |
|
|
63 | obviously in locales not having these characters they should |
|
|
64 | still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth. |
|
|
65 | Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them |
|
|
66 | thoroughly. |
|
|
67 | - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball |
|
|
68 | now, too. |
|
|
69 | |
|
|
70 | 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004 |
|
|
71 | - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu). |
|
|
72 | - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns |
|
|
73 | on high-latency networks. |
|
|
74 | - wide characters shift the correct number of characters |
|
|
75 | in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter. |
|
|
76 | - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva. |
|
|
77 | - make storage of tab movements as characters optional |
|
|
78 | on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request |
|
|
79 | by Gunnar Ritter. |
|
|
80 | - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored |
|
|
81 | or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva. |
|
|
82 | |
|
|
83 | 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004 |
|
|
84 | - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of |
|
|
85 | -ssc/-ssr settings. |
|
|
86 | - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other |
|
|
87 | programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected). |
|
|
88 | - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball. |
|
|
89 | - add compile fix for darwin. |
|
|
90 | - configure fix for transparency without tinting. |
|
|
91 | - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere. |
|
|
92 | - upgraded iom.[Ch]. |
|
|
93 | |
|
|
94 | 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004 |
|
|
95 | - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts. |
|
|
96 | - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam. |
|
|
97 | - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental. |
|
|
98 | - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C. |
|
|
99 | - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling. |
|
|
100 | - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating. |
|
|
101 | - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug". |
|
|
102 | ... terminated by a fix. |
|
|
103 | - new supported preeeditType "None". |
|
|
104 | - added FAQ about possible compose key problems. |
|
|
105 | - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion). |
|
|
106 | - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events |
|
|
107 | for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change |
|
|
108 | causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking) |
|
|
109 | (patch by Kuang-che Wu). |
|
|
110 | - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just |
|
|
111 | when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...). |
|
|
112 | - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly, |
|
|
113 | though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways). |
|
|
114 | - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ. |
|
|
115 | - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback. |
|
|
116 | - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods, |
|
|
117 | as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more |
|
|
118 | input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt |
|
|
119 | due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help |
|
|
120 | in tracking this down. |
|
|
121 | - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during |
|
|
122 | make install) with the correct program name and other info. |
|
|
123 | |
|
|
124 | 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004 |
|
|
125 | - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke |
|
|
126 | many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions. |
|
|
127 | |
|
|
128 | 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004 |
|
|
129 | - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled |
|
|
130 | differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and |
|
|
131 | installed if tic is available. |
|
|
132 | - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work. |
|
|
133 | - tweaked src/features.h a bit. |
|
|
134 | - removed README.unicode. |
|
|
135 | - support select&paste of tab characters. |
|
|
136 | - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported |
|
|
137 | by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
138 | - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save |
|
|
139 | and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen. |
|
|
140 | - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering |
|
|
141 | screen updates with curses. |
|
|
142 | - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced |
|
|
143 | by spaces. |
|
|
144 | - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore |
|
|
145 | (likewise for other names chosen at configure time). |
|
|
146 | - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft |
|
|
147 | is just too slow for this to work. |
|
|
148 | - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support, |
|
|
149 | where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can |
|
|
150 | implement. use --enable-styles. |
|
|
151 | - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes |
|
|
152 | (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely |
|
|
153 | supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable |
|
|
154 | for terminals with "odd" number of colours). |
|
|
155 | - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul |
|
|
156 | compared to the old rxvt terminfo. |
|
|
157 | - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is |
|
|
158 | monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width. |
|
|
159 | - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which |
|
|
160 | speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found |
|
|
161 | (only for non-bold right now). |
|
|
162 | - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences. |
|
|
163 | - better default font size and style. |
|
|
164 | - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting |
|
|
165 | into the base font, but to offset this it will check each |
|
|
166 | single character against the base font extents and will only |
|
|
167 | use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge). |
|
|
168 | - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often |
|
|
169 | be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn |
|
|
170 | more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original |
|
|
171 | rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster. |
|
|
172 | - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
173 | - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the |
|
|
174 | screen height. |
|
|
175 | - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay. |
|
|
176 | - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken. |
|
|
177 | - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it |
|
|
178 | off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
179 | - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading. |
|
|
180 | - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented. |
|
|
181 | - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755. |
|
|
182 | - removed OSC 702. |
|
|
183 | - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be |
|
|
184 | confused by it rather than using it. |
| 9 | |
185 | |
| 10 | 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004 |
186 | 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004 |
| 11 | - new configure option --enable-iso14755. |
187 | - new configure option --enable-iso14755. |
| 12 | - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :). |
188 | - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :). |
| 13 | - extended the FAQ section in the manpage. |
189 | - extended the FAQ section in the manpage. |
