1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1TODO: manpage 900mb update
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually 2TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
3xfree86's xterm). 3TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts

5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 145.1
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 15 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
7TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 16 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
8TODO: tabbed windows 17 (Kuang-che Wu).
18 - new option: -embed.
19 - only warn on X errors, *try* to continue (frills).
20 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
21 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
22 along with other, similar, cleanups.
23
245.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
25 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
26 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
27 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
28 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
29 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
30 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
31 his patience and time in tracking this down).
32 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
33 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
34 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
35 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
36 by Joël Riou).
37 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
38 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
39 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
40 - shaved off some code segment size.
41 - various code cleanups.
42 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
43
444.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
45 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
46 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
47 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
48 -pixmap is active.
49 - new option/resource imFont.
50 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
51 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
52 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
53 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
54 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
55 (WU Fengguang).
56 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
57 examples (rxvt.1).
58 - removed src/test completely.
59 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
60
614.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
62 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
63 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
64 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
65 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
66 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
67 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
68 resulting in segfaults.
69 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
70 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
71 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
72 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
73 (Mikael Magnusson).
74 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
75 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
76 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
77 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
78 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
79 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
80 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
81 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
82 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
83 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
84 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
85 - initialize the locale much earlier.
86 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
87
884.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
89 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
90 black on initial startup.
91 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
92 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
93 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
94 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
95 additional multimedia keys.
96 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
97 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
98
994.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
100 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
101 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
102 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
103 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
104 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
105 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
106 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
107 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
108 ignored.
109 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
110 instead.
111 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
112 (reported by hednod).
113 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
114 - fix atom name enumeration.
115
1164.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
117 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
118 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
119 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
120 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
121 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
122
1234.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
124 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
125 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
126 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
127 titles etc.
128 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
129 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
130 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
131 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
132 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
133 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
134 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
135 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
136 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
137 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
138 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
139 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
140 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
141 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
142
1434.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
144 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
145 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
146 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
147 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
148 thoroughly.
149 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
150 now, too.
151
1524.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
153 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
154 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
155 on high-latency networks.
156 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
157 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
158 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
159 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
160 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
161 by Gunnar Ritter.
162 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
163 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
164
1654.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
166 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
167 -ssc/-ssr settings.
168 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
169 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
170 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
171 - add compile fix for darwin.
172 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
173 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
174 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
175
1764.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
177 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
178 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
179 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
180 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
181 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
182 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
183 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
184 ... terminated by a fix.
185 - new supported preeeditType "None".
186 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
187 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
188 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
189 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
190 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
191 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
192 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
193 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
194 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
195 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
196 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
197 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
198 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
199 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
200 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
201 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
202 in tracking this down.
203 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
204 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
205
2063.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
207 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
208 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
209
2103.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
211 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
212 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
213 installed if tic is available.
214 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
215 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
216 - removed README.unicode.
217 - support select&paste of tab characters.
218 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
219 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
220 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
221 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
222 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
223 screen updates with curses.
224 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
225 by spaces.
226 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
227 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
228 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
229 is just too slow for this to work.
230 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
231 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
232 implement. use --enable-styles.
233 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
234 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
235 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
236 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
237 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
238 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
239 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
240 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
241 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
242 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
243 (only for non-bold right now).
244 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
245 - better default font size and style.
246 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
247 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
248 single character against the base font extents and will only
249 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
250 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
251 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
252 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
253 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
254 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
255 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
256 screen height.
257 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
258 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
259 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
260 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
261 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
262 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
263 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
264 - removed OSC 702.
265 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
266 confused by it rather than using it.

103.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004 2683.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
11 - new configure option --enable-iso14755. 269 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
12 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :). 270 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
