Comparing rxvt-unicode/Changes (file contents):
Revision 1.124 by root, Mon Jul 26 18:01:18 2004 UTC vs.
Revision 1.605 by root, Sun Jan 29 21:45:47 2006 UTC

1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3xfree86's xterm).
4 2
5TODO: escaping system for long escape sequences, so we can stop on CR/LF. 3TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: implement xterm mode to be able to use xfree's TERM=xterm. 4TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 5TODO: simplify selection_request and make it callable from perl.
8TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file because they 6TODO: split perl documentation and urxvt.pm into separate files
9 are very long-term :) 7TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
10WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
13DUMB: support tex fonts
14
15 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
16 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
17 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
18 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
19 - small configure updates.
20 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
21 - support rgba:r/g/b/a, #argb, #aarrggbb and #aaaarrrrggggbbbb
22 colour "names".
23 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
24 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
25
267.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
27 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
28 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
29 - small configure updates for libptytty.
30 - fixed version options: line output.
31 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
32
337.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
34 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
35 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
36 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
37 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
38 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
39 selection extension.
40 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
41 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
42 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
43 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
44 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
45 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
46 needs the careful rendering mode.
47 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
48 too wide and needs careful mode.
49 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
50 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
51 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
52 atoms only once per display.
53 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
54 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
55 xterm.
56
577.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
58 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
59 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
60 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
61 ctrl-shift-672c).
62 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
63 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
64 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
65 the primary screen.
66 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
67 could lead to an assertion failure.
68 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
69 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
70 via mouse clicks.
71 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
72 with shift - mouse button 2.
73 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
74 in non-synthetic events.
75 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
76 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
77 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
78 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
79 whole urxvt[d] process.
80 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
81 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
82 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
83 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
84
857.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
86 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
87 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
88 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
89 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
90 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
91 special privileges.
92 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
93 itself.
94 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
95 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
96 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
97 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
98 similar stuff.
99 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
100 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
101 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
102 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
103 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
104 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
105 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
106 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
107 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
108 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
109 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
110 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
111 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
112 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
113 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
114 to set the window title.
115 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
116 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
117 at the wrong time.
118 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
119 anymore.
120 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
121 - nuked QNX support.
122 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
123 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
124 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
125 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
126
1277.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
128 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
129 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
130 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
131 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
132 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
133 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
134 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
135 and much much more.
136 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
137 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
138 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
139 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
140 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
141 setuid/setgid.
142 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
143 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
144 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
145 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
146 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
147 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
148 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
149 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
150 compatible, and not really small either.
151 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
152 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
153 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
154 to crashes.
155 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
156 colours.
157 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
158 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
159
1606.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
161 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
162 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
163 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
164 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
165 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
166 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
167 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
168 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
169 by Mikachu).
170 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
171 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
172 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
173 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
174 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
175 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
176 - fix directory permissions on install.
177 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
178 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
179 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
180 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
181 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
182
1836.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
184 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
185 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
186 Chuck Blake.
187 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
188 obscure the mouse cursor position.
189 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
190 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
191 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
192 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
193 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
194 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
195 transfer efficiency.
196 - further minor cleanups.
197
1986.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
199 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
200 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
201 while the user still drags.
202 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
203 not drawn correctly.
204 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
205 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
206 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
207 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
208 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
209 stripping whitespace.
210 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
211 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
212
2136.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
214 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
215 - enable slow link support by default.
216 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
217 (also a bug in original rxvt).
218 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
219 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
220 partial patch).
221 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
222 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
223 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
224 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
225 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
226 - implement -hold option.
227 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
228 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
229 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
230 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
231 - slight overall speed improvements.
232 - considerably improved code clarity.
233 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
234 buffer.
235
2365.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
237 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
238 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
239 (matters only for rxvtd).
240 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
241 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
242 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
243
2445.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
245 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
246 If you want the old behaviour, try:
247 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
248 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
249 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
250 percentage by 100-percentage.
251 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
252 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
253 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
254 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
255 windows.
256 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
257 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
258 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
259 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
260 - replaced INSTALL file.
261
2625.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
263 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
264 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
265 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
266 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
267 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
268 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
269 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
270 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
271
2725.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
273 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
274 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
275 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
276 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
277 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
278 Affects display in iso14755 box.
279 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
280 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
281 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
282 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
283 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
284 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
285 cutting pieces off of characters.
286 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
287 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
288 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
289 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
290 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
291 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
292 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
293
2945.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
295 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
296 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
297 meaning of the given key.
298 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
299 (patch by Martin Edlman).
300
3015.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
302 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
303 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
304 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
305 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
306 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
307 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
308 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
309 to disable it.
310
3115.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
312 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
313 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
314 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
315 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
316 with modifiers.
317 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
318 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
319 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
320 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
321 and clear the scrollback buffer.
322
3235.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
324 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
325 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
326 a command.
327 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
328 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
329 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
330 in Perl/Gtk2.
331 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
332 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
333 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
334 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
335 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
336 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
337 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
338 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
339 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
340 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
341 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
342 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
343 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
344 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
345 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
346 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
347 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
348 rxvt-unicode).
349 - get rid of the intpro files.
350
3515.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
352 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
353 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
354 (Kuang-che Wu).
355 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
356 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
357 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
358 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
359 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
360 along with other, similar, cleanups.
361 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
362 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
363 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
364 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
365 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
366 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
367
3685.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
369 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
370 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
371 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
372 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
373 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
374 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
375 his patience and time in tracking this down).
376 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
377 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
378 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
379 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
380 by Joël Riou).
381 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
382 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
383 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
384 - shaved off some code segment size.
385 - various code cleanups.
386 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
387
3884.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
389 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
390 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
391 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
392 -pixmap is active.
393 - new option/resource imFont.
394 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
395 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
396 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
397 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
398 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
399 (WU Fengguang).
400 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
401 examples (rxvt.1).
402 - removed src/test completely.
403 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
404
4054.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
406 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
407 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
408 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
409 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
410 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
411 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
412 resulting in segfaults.
413 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
414 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
415 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
416 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
417 (Mikael Magnusson).
418 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
419 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
420 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
421 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
422 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
423 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
424 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
425 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
426 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
427 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
428 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
429 - initialize the locale much earlier.
430 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
431
4324.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
433 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
434 black on initial startup.
435 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
436 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
437 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
438 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
439 additional multimedia keys.
440 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
441 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
442
4434.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
444 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
445 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
446 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
447 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
448 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
449 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
450 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
451 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
452 ignored.
453 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
454 instead.
455 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
456 (reported by hednod).
457 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
458 - fix atom name enumeration.
459
4604.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
461 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
462 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
463 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
464 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
465 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
466
4674.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
468 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
469 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
470 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
471 titles etc.
472 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
473 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
474 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
475 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
476 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
477 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
478 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
479 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
480 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
481 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
482 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
483 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
484 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
485 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
486
4874.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
488 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
489 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
490 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
491 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
492 thoroughly.
493 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
494 now, too.
495
4964.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
497 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
498 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
499 on high-latency networks.
500 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
501 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
502 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
503 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
504 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
505 by Gunnar Ritter.
506 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
507 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
508
5094.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
510 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
511 -ssc/-ssr settings.
512 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
513 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
514 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
515 - add compile fix for darwin.
516 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
517 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
518 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
519
5204.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
521 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
522 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
523 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
524 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
525 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
526 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
527 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
528 ... terminated by a fix.
529 - new supported preeeditType "None".
530 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
531 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
532 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
533 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
534 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
535 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
536 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
537 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
538 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
539 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
540 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
541 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
542 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
543 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
544 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
545 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
546 in tracking this down.
547 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
548 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
549
5503.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
551 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
552 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
553
5543.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
555 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
556 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
557 installed if tic is available.
558 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
559 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
560 - removed README.unicode.
561 - support select&paste of tab characters.
562 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
563 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
564 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
565 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
566 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
567 screen updates with curses.
568 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
569 by spaces.
570 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
571 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
572 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
573 is just too slow for this to work.
574 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
575 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
576 implement. use --enable-styles.
577 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
578 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
579 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
580 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
581 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
582 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
583 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
584 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
585 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
586 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
587 (only for non-bold right now).
588 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
589 - better default font size and style.
590 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
591 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
592 single character against the base font extents and will only
593 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
594 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
595 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
596 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
597 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
598 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
599 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
600 screen height.
601 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
602 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
603 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
604 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
605 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
606 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
607 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
608 - removed OSC 702.
609 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
610 confused by it rather than using it.
611
6123.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
613 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
614 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
615 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
616 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
617 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
618 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
619 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
620 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
621 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
622 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
623 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
624 close).
625 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
626 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
627 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
628 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
629 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
630 could not be created.
631 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
632 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
633 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
634 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
635 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
636 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
637 works.
638 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
639 - document more escape sequences.
640 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
641 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
642 character is a sensible operation.
643 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
644 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
645 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
646 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
647 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
648 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
649 with selections).
650
6513.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
652 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
653 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
654 needs access to a local shell window).
655 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
656 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
657 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
658 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
659 a little window or so) would be welcome.
660 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
661 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
662 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
663 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
664 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
665 added there.
666 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
667 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
668 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
669 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
670 instead of being ignored.
671 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
672 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
673 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
674 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
675 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
676 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
677 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
678 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
679 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
680 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
681 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
682 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
683 needs testing anyways.
684 - more complete compile options help output.
685 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
686 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
687 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
688 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
689 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
690 - minor doc fix.
691
6923.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
693 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
694 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
695 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
696 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
697 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
698 memmove :)
699 - minor cleanups.
700 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
701 (debian bug #169415).
702 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
703 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
704 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
705 - updated config.guess.
706
7073.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
708 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
709 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
710 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
711 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
712 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
713 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
714 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
715 speeding up scrolling immensely.
716 - various other optimizations.
717 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
718
7193.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
720 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
721 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
722 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
723 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
724 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
725 Mikael Magnusson).
726 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
727 Mikael Magnusson).
728 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
729 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
730 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
