Revision 1.368 by root, Mon Feb 14 19:13:24 2005 UTC

1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1TODO: manpage 900mb update
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually 2TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
3xfree86's xterm). 3TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
4TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
5TODO: try to compensate for backwards-time-changes in iom.C (no way to do that for forward-time-changes, or reliably for long timeouts).
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences.
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize
8WISH: searchable backlog
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
10WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
12WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
4 14
5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 155.1
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 16 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
7TODO: tabbed windows 17 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
8TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 18 (Kuang-che Wu).
19 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
20 tk script to make a tabbable terminal now.
21 - only warn on X errors, *try* to continue (frills).
22 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
23 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
24 along with other, similar, cleanups.
25
265.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
27 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
28 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
29 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
30 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
31 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
32 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
33 his patience and time in tracking this down).
34 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
35 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
36 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
37 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
38 by Joël Riou).
39 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
40 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
41 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
42 - shaved off some code segment size.
43 - various code cleanups.
44 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
45
464.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
47 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
48 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
49 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
50 -pixmap is active.
51 - new option/resource imFont.
52 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
53 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
54 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
55 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
56 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
57 (WU Fengguang).
58 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
59 examples (rxvt.1).
60 - removed src/test completely.
61 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
62
634.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
64 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
65 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
66 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
67 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
68 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
69 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
70 resulting in segfaults.
71 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
72 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
73 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
74 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
75 (Mikael Magnusson).
76 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
77 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
78 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
79 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
80 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
81 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
82 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
83 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
84 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
85 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
86 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
87 - initialize the locale much earlier.
88 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
89
904.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
91 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
92 black on initial startup.
93 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
94 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
95 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
96 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
97 additional multimedia keys.
98 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
99 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
100
1014.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
102 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
103 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
104 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
105 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
106 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
107 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
108 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
109 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
110 ignored.
111 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
112 instead.
113 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
114 (reported by hednod).
115 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
116 - fix atom name enumeration.
117
1184.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
119 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
120 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
121 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
122 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
123 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
124
1254.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
126 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
127 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
128 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
129 titles etc.
130 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
131 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
132 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
133 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
134 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
135 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
136 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
137 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
138 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
139 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
140 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
141 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
142 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
143 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
144
1454.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
146 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
147 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
148 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
149 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
150 thoroughly.
151 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
152 now, too.
153
1544.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
155 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
156 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
157 on high-latency networks.
158 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
159 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
160 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
161 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
162 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
163 by Gunnar Ritter.
164 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
165 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
166
1674.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
168 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
169 -ssc/-ssr settings.
170 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
171 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
172 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
173 - add compile fix for darwin.
174 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
175 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
176 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
177
1784.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
179 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
180 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
181 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
182 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
183 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
184 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
185 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
186 ... terminated by a fix.
187 - new supported preeeditType "None".
188 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
189 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
190 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
191 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
192 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
193 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
194 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
195 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
196 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
197 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
198 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
199 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
200 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
201 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
202 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
203 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
204 in tracking this down.
205 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
206 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
207
2083.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
209 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
210 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
