103.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
11 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
12 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
13 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
14 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
15 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
16 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
17 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
18 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
19 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
20 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
21 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
22 close).
23 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
24 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
25 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
26 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
27 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
28 could not be created.
29 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
30 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
31 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
32 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
33 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
34 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
35 works.
36 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
37 - document more escape sequences.
38 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
39 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
40 character is a sensible operation.
41 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
42 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
43 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
44 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
45 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
46 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
47 with selections).
48
493.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
50 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
51 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
52 needs access to a local shell window).
53 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
54 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
55 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
56 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
57 a little window or so) would be welcome.
58 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
59 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
60 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
61 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
62 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
63 added there.
64 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
65 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
66 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
67 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
68 instead of being ignored.
69 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
70 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
71 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
72 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
73 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
74 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
75 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
76 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
77 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
78 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
79 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
80 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
81 needs testing anyways.
82 - more complete compile options help output.
83 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
84 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
85 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
86 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
87 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
88 - minor doc fix.
89
903.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
91 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
92 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
93 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
94 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
95 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
96 memmove :)
97 - minor cleanups.
98 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
99 (debian bug #169415).
100 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
101 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
102 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
103 - updated config.guess.
104
1053.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
106 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
107 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
108 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
109 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
110 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
111 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
112 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
113 speeding up scrolling immensely.
114 - various other optimizations.
115 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
116
1173.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
118 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
119 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
120 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
121 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
122 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
123 Mikael Magnusson).
124 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
125 Mikael Magnusson).
126 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
127 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
128 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
129
1303.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
131 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
132 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
133 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
134 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
135 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
136 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
137 with ^V (SYN).
138 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
139
1403.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
141 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
142 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
143 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
144 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
145 well as with other terminal emulators.
146 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
147 (reported by elmex).
148 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
149 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
150 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
151 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
152 Bloch.
153
1543.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
155 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
156 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
157 sorry).
158 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
159 make it a little bit more correct c++).
160
1612.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
162 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
163 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
164 - minor i18n issue fixes.
165
1662.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
167 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
168 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
169 - fix some minor bugs.
170
1712.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
172 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
173 for the keymappings.
174 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
175 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
176 - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
177 extension and is slightly ugly.
178 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
179 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
180 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
181 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
182 - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
183 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
184 overwritten (as is common).
185 - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
186 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
187
1882.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
189 - minor doc corrections.
190 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
191 avoid clashes with xterm.
192 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
193 - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
194 colour when arg is "?".
195 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
196 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
197 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
198 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
199 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
200 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
201 (FRILLS).
202 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
203 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
204 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
205 - set _NET_WM_PID.
206
2072.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
208 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
209 - support more 8-bit controls.
210 - more informative error messages.
211 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
212 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
213 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
214 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
215 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
216
2172.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
218 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
219 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
220 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
221 - removed old selection style completely.
222 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
223 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
224 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
225 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
226 be used from within rxvt.
227 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
228
2292.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
230 - code cleanup release.
231 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
232 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
233 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
234 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
235 all files.
236 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
237 --enable-xgetdefaults.
238
2392.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
240 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
241 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
242 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
243 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
244 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
245 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
246 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
247 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
248 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
249 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
250 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
251 --disable-xgetdefault.
252 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
253 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
254 unicode character.
255 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
256 get it wrong.
257 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
258
2592.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
260 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
261 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
262 settings.
263 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
264 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
265 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
266 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
267 mbrtowc.
268 - more robust encoding name matching.
269 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
270 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
271 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
272 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
273 resources and docs.
274 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
275
2762.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
277 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
278 - some doc cleanup
279 - configure cleanup
280 - viscii enabled by default
281 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
282
