Revision 1.422 by root, Thu Aug 11 02:09:49 2005 UTC

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.
7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
8WISH: /usr/share/doc/libdisplaymigration0-dev/spec.txt
9WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences.
10WISH: line-rewrapping on resize
11WISH: searchable backlog
12WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
13WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
14WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
15WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
16WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
4 17
5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 185.8
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 19 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
7TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 20 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
8TODO: tabbed windows 21 percentage by 100-percentage.
22 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
23 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
24 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
25 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
26 windows.
27
285.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
29 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
30 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
31 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
32 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
33 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
34 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
35 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
36 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt).
37
385.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
39 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
40 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
41 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
42 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
43 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
44 Affects display in iso14755 box.
45 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
46 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
47 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
48 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
49 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
50 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
51 cutting pieces off of characters.
52 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
53 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
54 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
55 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
56 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
57 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
58 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
59
605.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
61 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
62 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
63 meaning of the given key.
64 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
65 (patch by Martin Edlman).
66
675.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
68 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
69 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
70 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
71 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
72 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
73 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
74 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
75 to disble it.
76
775.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
78 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
79 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
80 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
81 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
82 with modifiers.
83 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
84 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
85 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
86 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
87 and clear the scrollback buffer.
88
895.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
90 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
91 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
92 a command.
93 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
94 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
95 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
96 in Perl/Gtk2.
97 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
98 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
99 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
100 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
101 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
102 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
103 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
104 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
105 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
106 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
107 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
108 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
109 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
110 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
111 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
112 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
113 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
114 rxvt-unicode).
115 - get rid of the intpro files.
116
1175.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
118 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
119 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
120 (Kuang-che Wu).
121 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
122 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
123 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
124 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
125 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
126 along with other, similar, cleanups.
127 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
128 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
129 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
130 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
131 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
132 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
133
1345.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
135 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
136 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
137 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
138 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
139 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
140 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
141 his patience and time in tracking this down).
142 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
143 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
144 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
145 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
146 by Joël Riou).
147 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
148 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
149 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
150 - shaved off some code segment size.
151 - various code cleanups.
152 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
153
1544.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
155 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
156 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
157 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
158 -pixmap is active.
159 - new option/resource imFont.
160 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
161 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
162 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
163 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
164 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
165 (WU Fengguang).
166 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
167 examples (rxvt.1).
168 - removed src/test completely.
169 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
170
1714.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
172 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
173 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
174 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
175 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
176 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
177 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
178 resulting in segfaults.
179 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
180 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
181 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
182 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
183 (Mikael Magnusson).
184 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
185 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
186 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
187 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
188 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
189 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
190 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
191 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
192 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
193 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
194 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
195 - initialize the locale much earlier.
196 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
197
1984.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
199 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
200 black on initial startup.
201 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
202 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
203 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
204 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
205 additional multimedia keys.
206 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
207 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
208
2094.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
210 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
211 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
212 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
213 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
214 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
215 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
216 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
217 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
218 ignored.
219 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
220 instead.
221 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
222 (reported by hednod).
223 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
224 - fix atom name enumeration.
225
2264.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
227 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
228 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
229 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
230 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
231 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
232
2334.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
234 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
235 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
236 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
237 titles etc.
238 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
239 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
240 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
241 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
242 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
243 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
244 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
245 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
246 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
247 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
248 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
249 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
250 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
251 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
252
2534.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
254 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
255 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
256 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
257 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
258 thoroughly.
259 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
260 now, too.
261
2624.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
263 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
264 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
265 on high-latency networks.
266 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
267 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
268 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
269 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
270 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
271 by Gunnar Ritter.
272 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
273 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
274
2754.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
276 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
277 -ssc/-ssr settings.
278 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
279 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
280 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
281 - add compile fix for darwin.
282 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
283 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
284 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
285
2864.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
287 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
288 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
289 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
290 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
291 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
292 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
293 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
294 ... terminated by a fix.
295 - new supported preeeditType "None".
296 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
297 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
298 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
299 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
300 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
301 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
302 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
303 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
304 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
305 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
306 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
307 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
308 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
309 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
310 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
311 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
312 in tracking this down.
313 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
314 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
315
3163.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
317 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
318 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
319
3203.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
321 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
322 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
323 installed if tic is available.
324 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
325 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
326 - removed README.unicode.
327 - support select&paste of tab characters.
328 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
329 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
330 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
331 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
332 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
333 screen updates with curses.
334 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
335 by spaces.
336 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
337 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
338 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
339 is just too slow for this to work.
340 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
341 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
342 implement. use --enable-styles.
343 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
344 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
345 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
346 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
347 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
348 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
349 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
350 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
351 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
352 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
353 (only for non-bold right now).
354 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
355 - better default font size and style.
356 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
357 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
358 single character against the base font extents and will only
359 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
360 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
361 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
362 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
363 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
364 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
365 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
366 screen height.
367 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
368 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
369 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
370 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
371 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
372 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
373 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
374 - removed OSC 702.
375 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
376 confused by it rather than using it.
