17 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
18 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
19 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
20 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
21 thoroughly.
22 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
23 now, too.
24
254.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
26 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth
27 (forgot who reported this).
28 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
29 on high-latency networks.
30 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
31 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
32 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
33 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
34 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
35 by Gunnar Ritter.
36 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
37 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
38
394.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
40 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
41 -ssc/-ssr settings.
42 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
43 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
44 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
45 - add compile fix for darwin.
46 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
47 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
48 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
49
504.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
51 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
52 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
53 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
54 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
55 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
56 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
57 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
58 ... terminated by a fix.
59 - new supported preeeditType "None".
60 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
61 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
62 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
63 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
64 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
65 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
66 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
67 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
68 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
69 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
70 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
71 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
72 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
73 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
74 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
75 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
76 in tracking this down.
77 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
78 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
79
803.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
81 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
82 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
83
843.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
85 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
86 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
87 installed if tic is available.
88 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
89 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
90 - removed README.unicode.
91 - support select&paste of tab characters.
92 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
93 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
94 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
95 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
96 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
97 screen updates with curses.
98 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
99 by spaces.
100 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
101 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
102 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
103 is just too slow for this to work.
104 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
105 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
106 implement. use --enable-styles.
107 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
108 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
109 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
110 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
111 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
112 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
113 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
114 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
115 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
116 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
117 (only for non-bold right now).
118 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
119 - better default font size and style.
120 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
121 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
122 single character against the base font extents and will only
123 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
124 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
125 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
126 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
127 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
128 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
129 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
130 screen height.
131 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
132 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
133 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
134 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
135 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
136 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
137 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
138 - removed OSC 702.
139 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
140 confused by it rather than using it.
141
1423.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
143 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
144 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
145 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
146 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
147 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
148 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
149 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
150 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
151 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
152 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
153 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
154 close).
155 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
156 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
157 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
158 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
159 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
160 could not be created.
161 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
162 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
163 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
164 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
165 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
166 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
167 works.
168 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
169 - document more escape sequences.
170 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
171 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
172 character is a sensible operation.
173 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
174 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
175 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
176 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
177 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
178 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
179 with selections).
180
1813.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
182 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
183 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
184 needs access to a local shell window).
185 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
186 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
187 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
188 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
189 a little window or so) would be welcome.
190 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
191 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
192 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
193 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
194 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
195 added there.
196 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
197 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
198 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
199 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
200 instead of being ignored.
201 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
202 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
203 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
204 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
205 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
206 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
207 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
208 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
209 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
210 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
211 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
212 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
213 needs testing anyways.
214 - more complete compile options help output.
215 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
216 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
217 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
218 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
219 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
220 - minor doc fix.
221
2223.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
223 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
224 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
225 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
226 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
227 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
228 memmove :)
229 - minor cleanups.
230 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
231 (debian bug #169415).
232 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
233 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
234 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
235 - updated config.guess.
236
2373.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
238 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
239 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
240 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
241 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
242 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
243 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
244 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
245 speeding up scrolling immensely.
246 - various other optimizations.
247 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
248
2493.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
250 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
251 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
252 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
253 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
254 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
255 Mikael Magnusson).
256 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
257 Mikael Magnusson).
258 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
259 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
260 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
