1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1TODO: --enable-minimal non-default
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually 2TODO: reverse video black-on-black => rv
3xfree86's xterm). 3TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines
4TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7WISH: /usr/share/doc/libdisplaymigration0-dev/spec.txt
8WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences.
9WISH: line-rewrapping on resize
10WISH: searchable backlog
11WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
12WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
13WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
14WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
15WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
4 16
5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 17 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 18 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
7TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 19 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
8TODO: tabbed windows 20 windows.
21
225.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
23 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
24 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
25 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
26 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
27 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
28 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
29 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
30 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt).
31
325.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
33 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
34 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
35 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
36 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
37 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
38 Affects display in iso14755 box.
39 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
40 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
41 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
42 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
43 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
44 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
45 cutting pieces off of characters.
46 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
47 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
48 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
49 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
50 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
51 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
52 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
53
545.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
55 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
56 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
57 meaning of the given key.
58 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
59 (patch by Martin Edlman).
60
615.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
62 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
63 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
64 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
65 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
66 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
67 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
68 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
69 to disble it.
70
715.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
72 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
73 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
74 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
75 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
76 with modifiers.
77 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
78 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
79 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
80 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
81 and clear the scrollback buffer.
82
835.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
84 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
85 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
86 a command.
87 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
88 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
89 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
90 in Perl/Gtk2.
91 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
92 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
93 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
94 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
95 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
96 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
97 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
98 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
99 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
100 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
101 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
102 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
103 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
104 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
105 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
106 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
107 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
108 rxvt-unicode).
109 - get rid of the intpro files.
110
1115.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
112 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
113 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
114 (Kuang-che Wu).
115 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
116 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
117 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
118 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
119 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
120 along with other, similar, cleanups.
121 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
122 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
123 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
124 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
125 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
126 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
127
1285.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
129 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
130 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
131 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
132 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
133 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
134 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
135 his patience and time in tracking this down).
136 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
137 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
138 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
139 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
140 by Joël Riou).
141 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
142 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
143 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
144 - shaved off some code segment size.
145 - various code cleanups.
146 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
147
1484.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
149 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
150 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
151 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
152 -pixmap is active.
153 - new option/resource imFont.
154 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
155 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
156 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
157 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
158 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
159 (WU Fengguang).
160 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
161 examples (rxvt.1).
162 - removed src/test completely.
163 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
164
1654.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
166 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
167 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
168 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
169 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
170 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
171 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
172 resulting in segfaults.
173 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
174 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
175 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
176 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
177 (Mikael Magnusson).
178 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
179 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
180 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
181 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
182 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
183 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
184 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
185 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
186 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
187 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
188 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
189 - initialize the locale much earlier.
190 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
191
1924.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
193 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
194 black on initial startup.
195 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
196 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
197 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
198 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
199 additional multimedia keys.
200 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
201 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
202
2034.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
204 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
205 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
206 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
207 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
208 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
209 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
210 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
211 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
212 ignored.
213 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
214 instead.
215 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
216 (reported by hednod).
217 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
218 - fix atom name enumeration.
219
2204.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
221 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
222 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
223 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
224 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
225 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
226
2274.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
228 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
229 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
230 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
231 titles etc.
232 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
233 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
234 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
235 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
236 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
237 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
238 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
239 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
240 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
241 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
242 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
243 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
244 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
245 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
246
2474.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
248 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
249 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
250 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
251 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
252 thoroughly.
253 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
254 now, too.
255
2564.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
257 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
258 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
259 on high-latency networks.
260 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
261 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
262 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
263 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
264 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
265 by Gunnar Ritter.
266 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
267 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
268
2694.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
270 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
271 -ssc/-ssr settings.
272 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
273 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
274 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
275 - add compile fix for darwin.
276 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
277 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
278 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
279
2804.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
281 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
282 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
283 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
284 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
285 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
286 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
287 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
288 ... terminated by a fix.
289 - new supported preeeditType "None".
290 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
291 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
292 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
293 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
294 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
295 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
296 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
297 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
298 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
299 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
300 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
301 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
302 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
303 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
304 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
305 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
306 in tracking this down.
307 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
308 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
309
3103.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
311 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
312 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
313
3143.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
315 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
316 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
317 installed if tic is available.
318 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
319 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
320 - removed README.unicode.
321 - support select&paste of tab characters.
322 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
323 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
324 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
325 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
326 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
327 screen updates with curses.
328 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
329 by spaces.
330 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
331 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
332 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
333 is just too slow for this to work.
334 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
335 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
336 implement. use --enable-styles.
337 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
338 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
339 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
340 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
341 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
342 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
343 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
344 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
345 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
346 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
347 (only for non-bold right now).
348 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
349 - better default font size and style.
350 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
351 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
352 single character against the base font extents and will only
353 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
354 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
355 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
356 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
357 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
358 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
359 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
360 screen height.
361 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
362 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
363 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
364 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
365 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
366 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
367 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
368 - removed OSC 702.
369 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
370 confused by it rather than using it.
