Now + only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.). + - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk + confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot. + Reported by Takano Akio. + - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage), + reported by exg. + - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage. + - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist. + - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc). + - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0. + +8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006 + - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay, + thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most + circumstances (reported by exg). + - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the + basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope). + - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C. + - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions. + - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension. + - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope). + - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts. + - update to libptytty-1.0. + - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of + corrupting the stack (patch by exg). + - display current terminal locale in option menu. + - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible + working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo + bug #143985). + - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer. + - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that + should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless. + - manpage fix by exg. + +7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006 + - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl + + transparency.

This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my + resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults + resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources. + - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake + terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl). + - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and + Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds). + - the "depth" resource is now respected. + - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search + to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an + uppercase character. + - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h. + - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on + a patch by Martin Stubenschrott. + - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues + when pixmap transparency was enabled. + - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to + match common URIs not common URLs.

On many driver/hardware + combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense + of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author. + - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal + click, and eats the click. + - tabbed perl extension now supports -e. + - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any + refresh bugs please. + - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property + changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips, + improve size hint setting. + - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets + the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods + to correctly position their preedit window. + - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the + former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same + in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection), + so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where + selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours. + - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate + focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed. + - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting. + - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on + colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco). + - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly + (reported by Paco-Paco). + - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be + working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt. + - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option. + +7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006 + - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. + - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the + resource value. + - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument. + - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th + relevant tab window. + - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults + (initial patch by hednod). + - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and + selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime. + - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for + the benefit of automove-background. + - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset. + - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect. + - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted. + - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on + __linux__. + - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering + the colour components. + - plain scrollbar works better with -sr. + - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look. + - more colour rtt optimisations. + - properly(?) free colours on window close. + - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections. + - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets. + - minor libptytty update. + +7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006 + - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width + detection: + - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated, + - overlap detection was improved. + - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft). + - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking, + causing unnecessary screen redraws. + - better handling of XFT combining characters. + - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they + might get used for other encodings which really need it, later. + - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally + weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft. + - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly + broken. + - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken. + - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to + reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation + of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft. + - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case + (patch by Paco-Paco). + - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. + - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and + an "[alpha]" prefix. + - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100% + transparent. Long Live Xft! + - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use + Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly. + - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails + on a pseudocolor screen. + - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. + - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). + - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer. + - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number. + - small configure updates. + - further RTT optimisations. + - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from + the debian package. + - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here, + but much newer than the old one. + +7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006 + - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling, + - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre. + - small configure updates for libptytty. + - fixed version options: line output. + - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code. + +7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006 + - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl + (could lead to global grabs never being cleared). + - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot). + - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2. + - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the + selection extension. + - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external + commands to fetch and store the selection data. + - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth + than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic). + - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences. + - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and + needs the careful rendering mode. + - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is + too wide and needs careful mode. + - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode. + - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous. + - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating + atoms only once per display. + - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command. + - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with + xterm. + +7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006 + - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple + environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within + getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once, + ctrl-shift-672c). + - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused + non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection. + - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to + the primary screen. + - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output + could lead to an assertion failure. + - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. + - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning + via mouse clicks. + - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection + with shift - mouse button 2. + - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates + in non-synthetic events. + - created a separate libpty for portable and secure + pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode. + - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so + continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the + whole urxvt[d] process. + - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet). + - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc. + - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure. + - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. + +7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006 + - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been + improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process + and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This + makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code + and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with + special privileges. + - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid + itself. + - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get + the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap. + - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to + e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or + similar stuff. + - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't + span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps + for programs displaying a status line at the bottom. + - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. + - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection + code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases + :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. + - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now + being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. + - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus, + as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm). + - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD. + - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure + (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, + to set the window title. + - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes + some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables + at the wrong time. + - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support + anymore. + - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH. + - nuked QNX support. + - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code. + - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. + - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. + - iom extended to support listening for child exits. + +7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006 + - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about + SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. + - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and + option-popup extensions enabled by default. + - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect + will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. + - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support + and much much more. + - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. + - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. + - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. + - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. + - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started + setuid/setgid. + - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a + side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. + - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. + - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast. + - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic. + - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler. + - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really + compatible, and not really small either. + - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support. + - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file. + - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead + to crashes. + - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all + colours. + - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode. + - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering. + +6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006 + - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were + not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as + world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt, + too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only + systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not + GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley). + - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations. + restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported + by Mikachu). + - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more + intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback, + menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option, + perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet. + - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent. + Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now. + - fix directory permissions on install. + - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters + and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack). + - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless + (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended + periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here. + +6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006 + - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink + selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by + Chuck Blake. + - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would + obscure the mouse cursor position. + - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly + returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc + on a few architectures). Reported by darix. + - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate + the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing). + - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data + transfer efficiency. + - further minor cleanups. + +6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005 + - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.). + - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback + while the user still drags. + - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were + not drawn correctly. + - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading + to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults. + - iso14755 overlay position was wrong. + - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too. + - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for + stripping whitespace. + - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections. + - slight cleanups in src/features.h. + +6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005 + - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again. + - enable slow link support by default. + - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions + (also a bug in original rxvt). + - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails + (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a + partial patch). + - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each. + - bump max savelines to 10000000. + - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process. + - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary. + - major code cleanup (still not complete, though). + - implement -hold option. + - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling: + - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged. + - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling). + - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal. + - slight overall speed improvements. + - considerably improved code clarity. + - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback + buffer. + +5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005 + - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix. + - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal + (matters only for rxvtd). + - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian). + - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return + bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse). + +5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005 + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default. + If you want the old behaviour, try: + configure --disable-everything + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with + the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your + percentage by 100-percentage. + - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm. + - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update + the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is + synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other + windows. + - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default + bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting. + - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov). + - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option. + - replaced INSTALL file. + +5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 + - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. + - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. + - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do + not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't + even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes). + - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines + could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra + refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt). + +5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005 + - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised + every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected). + Reported by Jasmin Buchert. + - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently + uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare). + Affects display in iso14755 box. + - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the + hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional + chars mixed with fixed-width ones. + - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially + overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws + more than required, but that's better than undershooting and + cutting pieces off of characters. + - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for + fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines. + - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character + at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu). + - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be + output in the next line (reported by Mikachu). + - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin. + +5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005 + - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement + a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in + meaning of the given key. + - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite + (patch by Martin Edlman). + +5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005 + - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code. + this is necessary because it has no knowledge about + built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code + will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out. + - cursor blinking now depends on frills. + - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc). + - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay + to disable it. + +5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005 + - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long + escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by + Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team). + - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons + with modifiers. + - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties. + - properly update WM_LOCALE. + - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol. + - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view + and clear the scrollback buffer. + +5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005 + - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave + that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting + a command. + - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus. + - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk, + and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented + in Perl/Gtk2. + - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling + when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert. + (reported by Mikael Magnusson). + - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt + (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for + pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd, + and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary. + - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using + line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess + with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically + needs to be US-ASCII all the time). + - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help + some apps who fail to set the correct mode. + - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to + not destroy the window for other types of messages. + - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is + of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed + rxvt-unicode). + - get rid of the intpro files. + +5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005 + - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one + for empty keymaps which could result in crashes + (Kuang-che Wu). + - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple + tk script to make a tab'able terminal now... + - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills). + - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow. + - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it, + along with other, similar, cleanups. + - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes. + - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco). + - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more + compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts + match (reported by Paco-Paco). + - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible. + +5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005 + - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd. + - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt. + - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with + Xt, and document it in rxvt(1). + - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault, + and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for + his patience and time in tracking this down). + - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing, + most notably, don't remove double quotes. + - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas). + - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea + by Joël Riou). + - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only + available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary + and is surprisingly hard to implement. + - shaved off some code segment size. + - various code cleanups. + - more keysym-mapping fixes. + +4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005 + - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in + original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz). + - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when + -pixmap is active. + - new option/resource imFont. + - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw. + - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click. + - reordered help listing to group similar options together. + - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou). + - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch + (WU Fengguang). + - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym + examples (rxvt.1). + - removed src/test completely. + - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'. + +4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005 + - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard + highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape + sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1). + - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this + can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now. + - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display, + resulting in segfaults. + - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the + screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro). + - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions. + - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom + (Mikael Magnusson). + - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded, + and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a + font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and + tested by Olivier Wittenberg). + - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+). + - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris. + - autogenerate src/* dependency list. + - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent + on frills, not on it's own configure option). + - include pty.h, if available (cygwin). + - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway. + - initialize the locale much earlier. + - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks. + +4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004 + - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be + black on initial startup. + - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to + races in the protocol and within Xlib. + - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab. + - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as + additional multimedia keys. + - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with + implementations that store tag info in the high bits. + +4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004 + - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even + if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. + - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup + time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3 + turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). + - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. + - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child + process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets + ignored. + - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID + instead. + - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed + (reported by hednod). + - fix an unlikely memory leak. + - fix atom name enumeration. + +4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 + - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. + - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled + incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR + selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably + for large selections, but that seems unavoidable. + +4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 + - rewrote handling of default-char width. + - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING + for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window + titles etc. + - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. + - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). + - fixed a bug in the transparency code. + - upgraded iom.[Ch]. + - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update. + - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line, + which got partially overwritten by spaces. + - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling + and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented. + should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding + and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker + for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS. + - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton. + - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before. + +4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004 + - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch. + obviously in locales not having these characters they should + still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth. + Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them + thoroughly. + - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball + now, too. + +4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004 + - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu). + - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns + on high-latency networks. + - wide characters shift the correct number of characters + in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter. + - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva. + - make storage of tab movements as characters optional + on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request + by Gunnar Ritter. + - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored + or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva. + +4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004 + - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of + -ssc/-ssr settings. + - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other + programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected). + - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball. + - add compile fix for darwin. + - configure fix for transparency without tinting. + - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere. + - upgraded iom.[Ch]. + +4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004 + - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts. + - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam. + - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental. + - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C. + - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling. + - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating. + - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug". + ... terminated by a fix. + - new supported preeeditType "None". + - added FAQ about possible compose key problems. + - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion). + - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events + for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change + causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking) + (patch by Kuang-che Wu). + - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just + when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...). + - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly, + though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways). + - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ. + - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback. + - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods, + as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more + input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt + due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help + in tracking this down. + - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during + make install) with the correct program name and other info. + +3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004 + - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke + many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions. + +3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004 + - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled + differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and + installed if tic is available. + - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work. + - tweaked src/features.h a bit. + - removed README.unicode. + - support select&paste of tab characters. + - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported + by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson). + - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save + and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen. + - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering + screen updates with curses. + - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced + by spaces. + - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore + (likewise for other names chosen at configure time). + - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft + is just too slow for this to work. + - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support, + where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can + implement. use --enable-styles. + - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes + (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely + supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable + for terminals with "odd" number of colours). + - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul + compared to the old rxvt terminfo. + - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is + monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width. + - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which + speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found + (only for non-bold right now). + - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences. + - better default font size and style. + - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting + into the base font, but to offset this it will check each + single character against the base font extents and will only + use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge). + - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often + be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn + more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original + rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster. + - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson). + - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the + screen height. + - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay. + - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken. + - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it + off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson). + - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading. + - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented. + - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755. + - removed OSC 702. + - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be + confused by it rather than using it. + +3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004 + - new configure option --enable-iso14755. + - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :). + - extended the FAQ section in the manpage. + - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages, + due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough + approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the + "cannot create input context" in most cases. + - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly + at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off). + - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were + previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe + close). + - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or + not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals. + - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson). + - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson). + - fix crash on window close when the input method or context + could not be created. + - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug + #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race + condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully + sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the + command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to + wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually + works. + - set correct pixel size in struct winsize. + - document more escape sequences. + - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1). + - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a + character is a sensible operation. + - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling. + - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better + reflect on their function, renamed many variables. + - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi. + - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes + made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible + with selections). + +3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004 + - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal + windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker + needs access to a local shell window). + - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down + Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode + character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a + function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with + a little window or so) would be welcome. + - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456). + - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when + a message was logged after startup (a rare case). + - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod. + - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be + added there. + - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7). + - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated. + - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos. + - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode + instead of being ignored. + - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour + queries, as they are harmless(tm). + - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't + find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly, + but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it. + - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some + people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though. + - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm: + "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows". + - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency. + - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg, + which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which + needs testing anyways. + - more complete compile options help output. + - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode. + Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can + provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than + providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from + Christopher Casey + - minor doc fix. + +3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004 + - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not + show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I + released it with that bug. :( Fixed. + - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies. + speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable + memmove :) + - minor cleanups. + - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage + (debian bug #169415). + - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265). + - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386). + - updated configure script to current autoconf standards. + - updated config.guess. + +3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004 + - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code. + - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally + make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :). + - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable). + - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh). + - fixed blinking underlined and negative text. + - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets, + speeding up scrolling immensely. + - various other optimizations. + - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson. + +3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004 + - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch). + - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set. + - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch). + - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson. + - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by + Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code). + - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by + Mikael Magnusson). + - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson). + - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt). + - disable-xim now really disables xim code. + +3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004 + - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson ), + if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb). + - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which + was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede . + - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above. + - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it + with ^V (SYN). + - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option). + +3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004 + - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177) + as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :). + - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt + in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as + well as with other terminal emulators. + - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale + (reported by elmex). + - find more fonts by default for japanese. + - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving + the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too. + - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard + Bloch. + +3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004 + - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even + less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work, + sorry). + - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should + make it a little bit more correct c++). + +2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004 + - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now + getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035). + - minor i18n issue fixes. + +2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004 + - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability). + - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability). + - fix some minor bugs. + +2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004 + - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except + for the keymappings. + - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes. + (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt). + - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is + an extension and is slightly ugly. + - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and + replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and + secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673). + - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267). + - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting. + - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are + overwritten (as is common). + - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049. + - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de. + +2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004 + - minor doc corrections. + - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to + avoid clashes with xterm. + - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports. + - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report + window colour when arg is "?". + - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds. + - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus + cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in + fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc. + - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only + when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference). + (FRILLS). + - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default. + - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least). + asprintf replacement is still missing(!). + - set _NET_WM_PID. + +2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004 + - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups. + - support more 8-bit controls. + - more informative error messages. + - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions. + - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements: + - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences + (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block). + - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510). + +2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004 + - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit. + - implement xterm private mode 1049. + - fix manpages (debian bug #236824). + - removed old selection style completely. + - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars. + - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore. + reduces binary and distro size a bit. + - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can + be used from within rxvt. + - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f). + +2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004 + - code cleanup release. + - fix compile problems without --enable-combining. + - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened. + - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX, + MAX_NFONTS.
