14 | |
|
|
15 | - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even |
|
|
16 | if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. |
|
|
17 | - fix an unlikely memory leak. |
|
|
18 | - fix atom name enumeration. |
|
|
19 | - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup |
|
|
20 | time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3 |
|
|
21 | turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). |
|
|
22 | - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID |
|
|
23 | instead. |
|
|
24 | - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. |
|
|
25 | |
|
|
26 | 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 |
|
|
27 | - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. |
|
|
28 | - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled |
|
|
29 | incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR |
|
|
30 | selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably |
|
|
31 | for large selections, but that seems unavoidable. |
|
|
32 | |
|
|
33 | 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 |
|
|
34 | - rewrote handling of default-char width. |
|
|
35 | - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING |
|
|
36 | for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window |
|
|
37 | titles etc. |
|
|
38 | - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. |
|
|
39 | - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). |
|
|
40 | - fixed a bug in the transparency code. |
|
|
41 | - upgraded iom.[Ch]. |
|
|
42 | - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update. |
|
|
43 | - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line, |
|
|
44 | which got partially overwritten by spaces. |
|
|
45 | - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling |
|
|
46 | and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented. |
|
|
47 | should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding |
|
|
48 | and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker |
|
|
49 | for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS. |
|
|
50 | - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton. |
|
|
51 | - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before. |
|
|
52 | |
|
|
53 | 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004 |
|
|
54 | - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch. |
|
|
55 | obviously in locales not having these characters they should |
|
|
56 | still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth. |
|
|
57 | Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them |
|
|
58 | thoroughly. |
|
|
59 | - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball |
|
|
60 | now, too. |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004 |
|
|
63 | - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu). |
|
|
64 | - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns |
|
|
65 | on high-latency networks. |
|
|
66 | - wide characters shift the correct number of characters |
|
|
67 | in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter. |
|
|
68 | - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva. |
|
|
69 | - make storage of tab movements as characters optional |
|
|
70 | on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request |
|
|
71 | by Gunnar Ritter. |
|
|
72 | - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored |
|
|
73 | or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva. |
|
|
74 | |
|
|
75 | 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004 |
|
|
76 | - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of |
|
|
77 | -ssc/-ssr settings. |
|
|
78 | - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other |
|
|
79 | programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected). |
|
|
80 | - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball. |
|
|
81 | - add compile fix for darwin. |
|
|
82 | - configure fix for transparency without tinting. |
|
|
83 | - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere. |
|
|
84 | - upgraded iom.[Ch]. |
|
|
85 | |
|
|
86 | 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004 |
|
|
87 | - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts. |
|
|
88 | - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam. |
|
|
89 | - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental. |
|
|
90 | - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C. |
|
|
91 | - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling. |
|
|
92 | - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating. |
|
|
93 | - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug". |
|
|
94 | ... terminated by a fix. |
|
|
95 | - new supported preeeditType "None". |
|
|
96 | - added FAQ about possible compose key problems. |
|
|
97 | - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion). |
|
|
98 | - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events |
|
|
99 | for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change |
|
|
100 | causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking) |
|
|
101 | (patch by Kuang-che Wu). |
|
|
102 | - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just |
|
|
103 | when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...). |
|
|
104 | - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly, |
|
|
105 | though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways). |
|
|
106 | - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ. |
|
|
107 | - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback. |
|
|
108 | - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods, |
|
|
109 | as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more |
|
|
110 | input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt |
|
|
111 | due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help |
|
|
112 | in tracking this down. |
|
|
113 | - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during |
|
|
114 | make install) with the correct program name and other info. |
|
|
115 | |
|
|
116 | 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004 |
|
|
117 | - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke |
|
|
118 | many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions. |
|
|
119 | |
|
|
120 | 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004 |
|
|
121 | - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled |
|
|
122 | differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and |
|
|
123 | installed if tic is available. |
|
|
124 | - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work. |
|
|
125 | - tweaked src/features.h a bit. |
|
|
126 | - removed README.unicode. |
|
|
127 | - support select&paste of tab characters. |
|
|
128 | - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported |
|
|
129 | by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
130 | - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save |
|
|
131 | and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen. |
|
|
132 | - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering |
|
|
133 | screen updates with curses. |
|
|
134 | - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced |
|
|
135 | by spaces. |
|
|
136 | - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore |
|
|
137 | (likewise for other names chosen at configure time). |
|
|
138 | - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft |
|
|
139 | is just too slow for this to work. |
|
|
140 | - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support, |
|
|
141 | where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can |
|
|
142 | implement. use --enable-styles. |
|
|
143 | - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes |
|
|
144 | (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely |
|
|
145 | supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable |
|
|
146 | for terminals with "odd" number of colours). |
|
|
147 | - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul |
|
|
148 | compared to the old rxvt terminfo. |
|
|
149 | - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is |
|
|
150 | monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width. |
|
|
151 | - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which |
|
|
152 | speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found |
|
|
153 | (only for non-bold right now). |
|
|
154 | - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences. |
|
|
155 | - better default font size and style. |
|
|
156 | - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting |
|
|
157 | into the base font, but to offset this it will check each |
|
|
158 | single character against the base font extents and will only |
|
|
159 | use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge). |
|
|
160 | - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often |
|
|
161 | be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn |
|
|
162 | more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original |
|
|
163 | rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster. |
|
|
164 | - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
165 | - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the |
|
|
166 | screen height. |
|
|
167 | - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay. |
|
|
168 | - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken. |
|
|
169 | - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it |
|
|
170 | off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
171 | - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading. |
|
|
172 | - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented. |
|
|
173 | - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755. |
|
|
174 | - removed OSC 702. |
|
|
175 | - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be |
|
|
176 | confused by it rather than using it. |
|
|
177 | |
|
|
178 | 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004 |
|
|
179 | - new configure option --enable-iso14755. |
|
|
180 | - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :). |
|
|
181 | - extended the FAQ section in the manpage. |
|
|
182 | - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages, |
|
|
183 | due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough |
|
|
184 | approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the |
|
|
185 | "cannot create input context" in most cases. |
|
|
186 | - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly |
|
|
187 | at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off). |
|
|
188 | - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were |
|
|
189 | previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe |
|
|
190 | close). |
|
|
191 | - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or |
|
|
192 | not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls. |
|
|
193 | - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson). |
|
|
194 | - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson). |
|
|
195 | - fix crash on window close when the input method or context |
|
|
196 | could not be created. |
|
|
197 | - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug |
|
|
198 | #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race |
|
|
199 | condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully |
|
|
200 | sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the |
|
|
201 | command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to |
|
|
202 | wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually |
|
|
203 | works. |
|
|
204 | - set correct pixel size in struct winsize. |
|
|
205 | - document more escape sequences. |
|
|
206 | - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1). |
|
|
207 | - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a |
|
|
208 | character is a sensible operation. |
|
|
209 | - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling. |
|
|
210 | - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better |
|
|
211 | reflect on their function, renamed many variables. |
|
|
212 | - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi. |
|
|
213 | - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes |
|
|
214 | made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible |
|
|
215 | with selections). |
|
|
216 | |
|
|
217 | 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004 |
|
|
218 | - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal |
|
|
219 | windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker |
|
|
220 | needs access to a local shell window). |
|
|
221 | - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down |
|
|
222 | Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode |
|
|
223 | character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a |
|
|
224 | function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with |
|
|
225 | a little window or so) would be welcome. |
|
|
226 | - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456). |
|
|
227 | - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when |
|
|
228 | a message was logged after startup (a rare case). |
|
|
229 | - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod. |
|
|
230 | - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be |
|
|
231 | added there. |
|
|
232 | - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7). |
|
|
233 | - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated. |
|
|
234 | - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos. |
|
|
235 | - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode |
|
|
236 | instead of being ignored. |
|
|
237 | - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour |
|
|
238 | queries, as they are harmless(tm). |
|
|
239 | - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't |
|
|
240 | find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly, |
|
|
241 | but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it. |
|
|
242 | - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some |
|
|
243 | people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though. |
|
|
244 | - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm: |
|
|
245 | "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows". |
|
|
246 | - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency. |
|
|
247 | - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg, |
|
|
248 | which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which |
|
|
249 | needs testing anyways. |
|
|
250 | - more complete compile options help output. |
|
|
251 | - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode. |
|
|
252 | Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can |
|
|
253 | provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than |
|
|
254 | providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from |
|
|
255 | Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com> |
|
|
256 | - minor doc fix. |
|
|
257 | |
|
|
258 | 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004 |
|
|
259 | - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not |
|
|
260 | show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I |
|
|
261 | released it with that bug. :( Fixed. |
|
|
262 | - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies. |
|
|
263 | speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable |
|
|
264 | memmove :) |
|
|
265 | - minor cleanups. |
|
|
266 | - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage |
|
|
267 | (debian bug #169415). |
|
|
268 | - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265). |
|
|
269 | - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386). |
|
|
270 | - updated configure script to current autoconf standards. |
|
|
271 | - updated config.guess. |
|
|
272 | |
|
|
273 | 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004 |
|
|
274 | - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code. |
|
|
275 | - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally |
|
|
276 | make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :). |
|
|
277 | - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable). |
|
|
278 | - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh). |
|
|
279 | - fixed blinking underlined and negative text. |
|
|
280 | - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets, |
|
|
281 | speeding up scrolling immensely. |
|
|
282 | - various other optimizations. |
|
|
283 | - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson. |
|
|
284 | |
|
|
285 | 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004 |
|
|
286 | - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch). |
|
|
287 | - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set. |
|
|
288 | - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch). |
|
|
289 | - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson. |
|
|
290 | - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by |
|
|
291 | Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
292 | - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by |
|
|
293 | Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
294 | - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
295 | - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt). |
|
|
296 | - disable-xim now really disables xim code. |
| 10 | |
297 | |
