Revision 1.377 by root, Wed Feb 16 23:35:08 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: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/rxvt/rxvt/src/init.c?r1=1.123&r2=1.124&sortby=date
3xfree86's xterm). 3 http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/rxvt/rxvt/src/scrollbar.c?r1=1.44&r2=1.45&sortby=date
4 Pull more events to all windows so that we don't miss out in
5 certain occassions, SourceForge bug #954654, patch from
6 Chris Schoeneman (crs23@sourceforge)
7TODO: manpage 900mb update
8TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
9TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
10TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
11WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences.
12WISH: line-rewrapping on resize
13WISH: searchable backlog
14WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
15WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
16WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
17WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
18WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
4 19
5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 20 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 21 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
7TODO: tabbed windows 22 rxvt-unicode).
8TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 23 - get rid of the intpro files.
24 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
25 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
26 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
27 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is unreproducible.
28 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
29 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
30 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
31 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
32
335.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
34 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
35 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
36 (Kuang-che Wu).
37 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
38 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
39 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
40 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
41 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
42 along with other, similar, cleanups.
43 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
44 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
45 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
46 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
47 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
48 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
49
505.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
51 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
52 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
53 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
54 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
55 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
56 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
57 his patience and time in tracking this down).
58 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
59 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
60 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
61 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
62 by Joël Riou).
63 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
64 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
65 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
66 - shaved off some code segment size.
67 - various code cleanups.
68 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
69
704.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
71 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
72 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
73 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
74 -pixmap is active.
75 - new option/resource imFont.
76 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
77 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
78 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
79 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
80 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
81 (WU Fengguang).
82 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
83 examples (rxvt.1).
84 - removed src/test completely.
85 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
86
874.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
88 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
89 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
90 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
91 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
92 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
93 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
94 resulting in segfaults.
95 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
96 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
97 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
98 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
99 (Mikael Magnusson).
100 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
101 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
102 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
103 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
104 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
105 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
106 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
107 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
108 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
109 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
110 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
111 - initialize the locale much earlier.
112 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
113
1144.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
115 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
116 black on initial startup.
117 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
118 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
119 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
120 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
121 additional multimedia keys.
122 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
123 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
124
1254.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
126 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
127 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
128 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
129 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
130 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
131 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
132 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
133 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
134 ignored.
135 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
136 instead.
137 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
138 (reported by hednod).
139 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
140 - fix atom name enumeration.
141
1424.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
143 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
144 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
145 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
146 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
147 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
148
1494.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
150 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
151 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
152 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
153 titles etc.
154 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
155 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
156 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
157 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
158 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
159 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
160 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
161 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
162 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
163 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
164 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
165 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
166 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
167 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
168
1694.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
170 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
171 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
172 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
173 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
174 thoroughly.
175 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
176 now, too.
177
1784.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
179 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
180 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
181 on high-latency networks.
182 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
183 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
184 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
185 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
186 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
187 by Gunnar Ritter.
188 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
189 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
190
1914.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
192 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
193 -ssc/-ssr settings.
194 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
195 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
196 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
197 - add compile fix for darwin.
198 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
199 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
200 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
201
2024.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
203 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
204 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
205 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
206 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
207 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
208 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
209 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
210 ... terminated by a fix.
211 - new supported preeeditType "None".
212 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
213 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
214 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
215 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
216 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
217 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
218 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
219 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
220 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
221 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
222 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
223 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
224 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
225 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
226 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
227 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
228 in tracking this down.
229 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
230 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
231
2323.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
233 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
234 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
