Comparing rxvt-unicode/Changes (file contents):
Revision 1.194 by root, Tue Aug 17 02:23:39 2004 UTC vs.
Revision 1.965 by root, Thu Oct 21 11:30:45 2010 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: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
7TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
8TODO: tabbed windows 6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15WISH: coloured pastebin
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts
19TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
20
21TODO: - upgrade to libev-4.00.
22TODO: curses startcolor is supposed to reset palette
23
24 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
25 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
26 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
27 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
28 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
29 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
30 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
31 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
32 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
33 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
34 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
35 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
36 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
37 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
38 characters other than first one in the selected cell
39 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
41 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
43 (found by Mikachu).
44 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
45 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
46 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
47 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
49 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
51 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
52 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
53 for 256 colours.
54 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
55 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
56 - update rxvt-unicode temrinfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
57 88*88 possible pairs.
58 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
59 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
60 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
61 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
62 - cub1 ("backspace") will not respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
63 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
64 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
65 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
66 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
67 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
68 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
69 backspacekey was given.
70 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
71 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
72 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
73 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
74 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
75
769.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
77 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
78 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
79 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
80 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
81 Mikachu).
82 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
83 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
84 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
85 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
86 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
87 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
88 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
90 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
91 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
92 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
93 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
94 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
95 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
96 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
97 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
98 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
99 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
100 - update to libptytty 1.3.
101 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
102 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
103 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
105 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
106 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
107 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
108 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
109 in need of fixing. go figure.
110 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
111 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
112 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
113 the new ->selection_screen method.
114 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
115 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
117 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
118 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
119 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
120
1219.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
122 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
123 - updates libev to 3.48.
124 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
125 when a window was closed.
126 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
127 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
128 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
129 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
130 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
131 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
132 makes copy&paste work.
133 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
134 no longer apply.
135 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
136 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
137 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
138 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
139 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
140 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
141 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
142 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
143 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
144 the only known workaround.
145 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
146 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
147 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
148 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
149 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
150 disabling size hints.
151 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
152 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
153 as mouse reporting.
154 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
155 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
156 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
157 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
158 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
159 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
160 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
161 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
162 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
163 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
164 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
165 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
166
1679.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
168 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
169 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
170 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
171 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
172 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
173 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
174 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
175 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
176 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
177 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
178 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
179 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
180 help working window managers as well.
181 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
182 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
183 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
184 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
185 from the toplevel window to the children.
186 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
187 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
188 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
189 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
190
1919.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
192 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
193 - fix build with !xft.
194 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
195
1969.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
197 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
198 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
199 received" problem, again :)
200 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
201
2029.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
203 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
204 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
205 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
206 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
207 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
208 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
209 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
210 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
211 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
212 channels or background images are used.
213 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
214 till the first event arrives. or so.
215 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
216 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
217 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
218 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
219 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
220 resets the terminal.
221 - scrollbar code cleanups.
222 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
223 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
224 - updated to libev 3.0.
225
2268.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
227 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
228 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
229 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
230 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
231 would not clear it visually in another.
232 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
233 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
234 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
235 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
236 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
237 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
238
2398.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
240 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
241 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
242 effects.
243 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
244 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
245 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
246 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
247 text was visible.
248 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
249 some minor improvements.
250 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
251 display and not once per terminal window.
252 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
253
2548.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
255 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
256 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
257 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
258
2598.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
260 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
261 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
262 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
263 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
264 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
265 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
266 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
267
2688.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
269 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
270
2718.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
272 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
273 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
274 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
275 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
276 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
277 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
278 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
279 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
280 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
281 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
282 - parallel builds should work once more.
283
2848.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
285 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
286 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
287 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
288 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
289 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
290 missing DISPLAY.
291 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
292 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
293 - updated io_manager.
294
2958.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
296 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
297 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
298 /usr/X11R6/lib.
299 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
300 patch by Sasha Vasko.
301 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
302 (patch by Philip Paeps).
303 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
304 (patch by Mikachu).
305 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
306 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
307 digit (exg).
308 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
309 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
310 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
311 extension (tpope).
312 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
313 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
314 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
315 problems.
316
3178.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
318 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
319 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
320 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
321 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
322 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
323 (found by Aiviru).
324 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
325 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
326 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
327 case to work around for :/
328 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
329 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
330 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
331 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
332 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
333 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
334 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
335 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
336 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
337 Paskevich).
338 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
339 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
340 - update libptytty.
341 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
342 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
343 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
344 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
345 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
346 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
347 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
348 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
349 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
350
3518.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
352 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
353 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
354 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
355 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
356 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
357 Reported by Takano Akio.
358 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
359 reported by exg.
360 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
361 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
362 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
363 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
364
3658.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
366 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
367 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
368 circumstances (reported by exg).
369 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
370 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
371 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
372 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
373 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
374 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
375 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
376 - update to libptytty-1.0.
377 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
378 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
379 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
380 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
381 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
382 bug #143985).
383 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
384 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
385 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
386 - manpage fix by exg.
387
3887.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
389 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
390 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
391 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
392 it does! :->
393 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
394 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
395
3967.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
397 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
398 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
399 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
400 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
401 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
402 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
403 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
404 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
405 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
406 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
407 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
408 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
409 uppercase character.
410 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
411 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
412 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
413 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
414 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
415 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
416 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
417 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
418 generic osc_seq.
419 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
420 were invoked recursively.
421 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
422 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
423 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
424 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
425 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
426 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
427 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
428 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
429 by omatunto_.
430 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
431 follow C++ closely enough.
432 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
433 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
434 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
435 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
436
4377.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
438 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
439 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
440 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
441 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
442 click, and eats the click.
443 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
444 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
445 refresh bugs please.
446 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
447 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
448 improve size hint setting.
449 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
450 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
451 to correctly position their preedit window.
452 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
453 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
454 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
455 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
456 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
457 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
458 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
459 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
460 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
461 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
462 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
463 (reported by Paco-Paco).
464 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
465 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
466 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
467
4687.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
469 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
470 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
471 resource value.
472 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
473 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
474 relevant tab window.
475 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
476 (initial patch by hednod).
477 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
478 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
479 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
480 the benefit of automove-background.
481 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
482 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
483 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
484 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
485 __linux__.
486 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
487 the colour components.
488 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
489 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
490 - more colour rtt optimisations.
491 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
492 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
493 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
494 - minor libptytty update.
495
4967.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
497 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
498 detection:
499 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
500 - overlap detection was improved.
501 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
502 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
503 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
504 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
505 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
506 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
507 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
508 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
509 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
510 broken.
511 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
512 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
513 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
514 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
515 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
516 (patch by Paco-Paco).
517 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
518 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
519 an "[alpha]" prefix.
520 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
521 transparent. Long Live Xft!
522 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
523 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
524 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
525 on a pseudocolor screen.
526 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
527 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
528 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
529 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
530 - small configure updates.
531 - further RTT optimisations.
532 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
533 the debian package.
534 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
535 but much newer than the old one.
536
5377.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
538 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
539 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
540 - small configure updates for libptytty.
541 - fixed version options: line output.
542 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
543
5447.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
545 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
546 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
547 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
548 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
549 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
550 selection extension.
551 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
552 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
553 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
554 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
555 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
556 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
557 needs the careful rendering mode.
558 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
559 too wide and needs careful mode.
560 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
561 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
562 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
563 atoms only once per display.
564 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
565 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
566 xterm.
567
5687.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
569 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
570 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
571 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
572 ctrl-shift-672c).
573 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
574 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
575 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
576 the primary screen.
577 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
578 could lead to an assertion failure.
579 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
580 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
581 via mouse clicks.
582 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
583 with shift - mouse button 2.
584 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
585 in non-synthetic events.
586 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
587 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
588 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
589 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
590 whole urxvt[d] process.
591 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
592 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
593 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
594 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
595
5967.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
597 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
598 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
599 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
600 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
601 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
602 special privileges.
603 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
604 itself.
605 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
606 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
607 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
608 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
609 similar stuff.
610 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
611 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
612 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
613 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
614 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
615 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
616 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
617 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
618 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
619 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
620 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
621 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
622 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
623 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
624 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
625 to set the window title.
626 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
627 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
628 at the wrong time.
629 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
630 anymore.
631 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
632 - nuked QNX support.
633 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
634 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
635 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
636 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
637
6387.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
639 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
640 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
641 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
642 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
643 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
644 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
645 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
646 and much much more.
647 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
648 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
649 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
650 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
651 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
652 setuid/setgid.
653 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
654 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
655 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
656 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
657 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
658 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
659 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
660 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
661 compatible, and not really small either.
662 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
663 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
664 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
665 to crashes.
666 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
667 colours.
668 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
669 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
670
6716.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
672 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
673 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
674 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
675 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
676 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
677 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
678 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
679 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
680 by Mikachu).
681 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
682 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
683 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
684 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
685 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
686 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
687 - fix directory permissions on install.
688 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
689 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
690 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
691 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
692 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
693
6946.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
695 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
696 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
697 Chuck Blake.
698 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
699 obscure the mouse cursor position.
700 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
701 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
702 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
703 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
704 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
705 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
706 transfer efficiency.
707 - further minor cleanups.
708
7096.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
710 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
711 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
712 while the user still drags.
713 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
714 not drawn correctly.
715 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
716 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
717 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
718 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
719 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
720 stripping whitespace.
721 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
722 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
723
7246.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
725 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
726 - enable slow link support by default.
727 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
728 (also a bug in original rxvt).
729 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
730 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
731 partial patch).
732 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
733 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
734 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
735 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
736 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
737 - implement -hold option.
738 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
739 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
740 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
741 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
742 - slight overall speed improvements.
743 - considerably improved code clarity.
744 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
745 buffer.
746
7475.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
748 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
749 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
750 (matters only for rxvtd).
751 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
752 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
753 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
754
7555.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
756 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
757 If you want the old behaviour, try:
758 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
759 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
760 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
761 percentage by 100-percentage.
762 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
763 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
764 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
765 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
766 windows.
767 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
768 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
769 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
770 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
771 - replaced INSTALL file.
772
7735.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
774 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
775 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
776 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
777 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
778 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
779 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
780 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
781 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
782
7835.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
784 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
785 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
786 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
787 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
788 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
789 Affects display in iso14755 box.
790 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
791 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
792 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
793 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
794 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
795 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
796 cutting pieces off of characters.
797 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
798 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
799 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
800 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
801 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
802 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
803 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
804
8055.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
806 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
807 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
808 meaning of the given key.
809 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
810 (patch by Martin Edlman).
811
8125.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
813 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
814 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
815 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
816 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
817 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
818 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
819 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
820 to disable it.
821
8225.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
823 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
824 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
825 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
826 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
827 with modifiers.
828 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
829 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
830 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
831 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
832 and clear the scrollback buffer.
833
8345.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
835 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
836 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
837 a command.
838 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
839 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
840 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
841 in Perl/Gtk2.
842 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
843 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
844 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
845 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
846 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
847 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
848 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
849 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
850 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
851 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
852 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
853 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
854 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
855 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
856 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
857 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
858 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
859 rxvt-unicode).
860 - get rid of the intpro files.
861
8625.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
863 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
864 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
865 (Kuang-che Wu).
866 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
867 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
868 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
869 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
870 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
871 along with other, similar, cleanups.
872 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
873 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
874 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
875 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
876 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
877 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
878
8795.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
880 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
881 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
882 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
883 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
884 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
885 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
886 his patience and time in tracking this down).
887 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
888 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
889 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
890 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
891 by Joël Riou).
892 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
893 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
894 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
895 - shaved off some code segment size.
896 - various code cleanups.
897 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
898
8994.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
900 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
901 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
902 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
903 -pixmap is active.
904 - new option/resource imFont.
905 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
906 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
907 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
908 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
909 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
910 (WU Fengguang).
911 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
912 examples (rxvt.1).
913 - removed src/test completely.
914 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
915
9164.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
917 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
918 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
919 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
920 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
921 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
922 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
923 resulting in segfaults.
924 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
925 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
926 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
927 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
928 (Mikael Magnusson).
929 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
930 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
931 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
932 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
933 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
934 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
935 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
936 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
937 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
938 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
939 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
940 - initialize the locale much earlier.
941 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
942
9434.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
944 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
945 black on initial startup.
946 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
947 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
948 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
949 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
950 additional multimedia keys.
951 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
952 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
953
9544.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
955 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
956 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
957 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
958 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
959 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
960 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
961 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
962 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
963 ignored.
964 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
965 instead.
966 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
967 (reported by hednod).
968 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
969 - fix atom name enumeration.
970
9714.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
972 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
973 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
974 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
975 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
976 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
977
9784.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
979 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
980 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
981 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
982 titles etc.
983 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
984 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
985 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
986 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
987 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
988 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
989 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
990 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
991 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
992 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
993 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
994 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
995 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
996 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
997
9984.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
999 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1000 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1001 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1002 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1003 thoroughly.
1004 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1005 now, too.
1006
10074.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1008 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1009 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1010 on high-latency networks.
1011 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1012 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1013 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1014 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1015 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1016 by Gunnar Ritter.
1017 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1018 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1019
10204.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1021 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1022 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1023 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1024 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1025 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1026 - add compile fix for darwin.
1027 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1028 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1029 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1030
10314.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1032 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1033 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1034 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1035 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1036 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1037 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1038 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1039 ... terminated by a fix.
1040 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1041 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1042 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1043 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1044 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1045 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1046 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1047 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1048 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1049 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1050 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1051 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1052 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1053 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1054 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1055 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1056 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1057 in tracking this down.
1058 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1059 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1060
10613.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1062 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1063 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1064
10653.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1066 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1067 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1068 installed if tic is available.
1069 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1070 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1071 - removed README.unicode.
1072 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1073 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1074 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1075 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1076 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1077 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1078 screen updates with curses.
1079 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1080 by spaces.
1081 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1082 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1083 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1084 is just too slow for this to work.
1085 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1086 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1087 implement. use --enable-styles.
1088 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1089 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1090 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1091 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1092 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1093 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1094 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1095 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1096 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1097 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1098 (only for non-bold right now).
1099 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1100 - better default font size and style.
1101 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1102 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1103 single character against the base font extents and will only
1104 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1105 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1106 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1107 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1108 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1109 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1110 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1111 screen height.
1112 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1113 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1114 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1115 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1116 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1117 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1118 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1119 - removed OSC 702.
1120 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1121 confused by it rather than using it.
