9TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
10TODO: OnTheSpot editing. 8WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
10WISH: make builtin character glyphs optional
11
12 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
13 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
14 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
15 perl*-resources and keysym resources.
16 - fix directory permissions on install.
17 - improved sched_yield support.
18 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
19 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
20 by Mikachu)
21
226.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
23 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
24 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
25 Chuck Blake.
26 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
27 obscure the mouse cursor position.
28 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
29 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
30 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
31 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
32 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
33 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
34 transfer efficiency.
35 - further minor cleanups.
36
376.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
38 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
39 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
40 while the user still drags.
41 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
42 not drawn correctly.
43 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
44 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
45 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
46 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
47 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
48 stripping whitespace.
49 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
50 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
51
526.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
53 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
54 - enable slow link support by default.
55 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
56 (also a bug in original rxvt).
57 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
58 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
59 partial patch).
60 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
61 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
62 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
63 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
64 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
65 - implement -hold option.
66 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
67 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
68 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
69 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
70 - slight overall speed improvements.
71 - considerably improved code clarity.
72 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
73 buffer.
74
755.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
76 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
77 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
78 (matters only for rxvtd).
79 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
80 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
81 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
82
835.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
84 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
85 If you want the old behaviour, try:
86 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
87 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
88 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
89 percentage by 100-percentage.
90 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
91 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
92 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
93 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
94 windows.
95 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
96 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
97 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
98 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
99 - replaced INSTALL file.
100
1015.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
102 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
103 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
104 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
105 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
106 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
107 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
108 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
109 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
110
1115.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
112 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
113 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
114 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
115 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
116 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
117 Affects display in iso14755 box.
118 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
119 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
120 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
121 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
122 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
123 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
124 cutting pieces off of characters.
125 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
126 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
127 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
128 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
129 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
130 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
131 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
132
1335.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
134 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
135 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
136 meaning of the given key.
137 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
138 (patch by Martin Edlman).
139
1405.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
141 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
142 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
143 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
144 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
145 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
146 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
147 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
148 to disable it.
149
1505.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
151 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
152 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
153 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
154 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
155 with modifiers.
156 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
157 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
158 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
159 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
160 and clear the scrollback buffer.
161
1625.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
163 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
164 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
165 a command.
166 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
167 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
168 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
169 in Perl/Gtk2.
170 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
171 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
172 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
173 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
174 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
175 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
176 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
177 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
178 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
179 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
180 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
181 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
182 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
183 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
184 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
185 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
186 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
187 rxvt-unicode).
188 - get rid of the intpro files.
189
1905.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
191 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
192 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
193 (Kuang-che Wu).
194 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
195 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
196 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
197 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
198 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
199 along with other, similar, cleanups.
200 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
201 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
202 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
203 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
204 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
205 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
206
2075.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
208 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
209 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
210 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
211 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
212 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
213 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
214 his patience and time in tracking this down).
215 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
216 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
217 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
218 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
219 by Joël Riou).
220 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
221 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
222 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
223 - shaved off some code segment size.
224 - various code cleanups.
225 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
226
2274.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
228 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
229 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
230 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
231 -pixmap is active.
232 - new option/resource imFont.
233 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
234 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
235 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
236 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
237 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
238 (WU Fengguang).
239 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
240 examples (rxvt.1).
241 - removed src/test completely.
242 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
243
2444.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
245 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
246 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
247 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
248 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
249 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
250 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
251 resulting in segfaults.
252 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
253 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
254 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
255 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
256 (Mikael Magnusson).
257 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
258 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
259 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
260 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
261 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
262 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
263 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
264 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
265 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
266 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
267 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
268 - initialize the locale much earlier.
269 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
270
2714.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
272 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
273 black on initial startup.
274 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
275 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
276 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
277 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
278 additional multimedia keys.
279 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
280 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
281
2824.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
283 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
284 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
285 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
286 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
287 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
288 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
289 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
290 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
291 ignored.
292 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
293 instead.
294 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
295 (reported by hednod).
296 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
297 - fix atom name enumeration.
298
2994.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
300 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
301 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
302 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
303 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
304 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
305
3064.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
307 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
308 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
309 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
310 titles etc.
311 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
312 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
313 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
314 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
315 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
316 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
317 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
318 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
319 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
320 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
321 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
322 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
323 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
324 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
325
3264.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
327 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
328 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
329 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
330 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
331 thoroughly.
332 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
333 now, too.
334
3354.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
336 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
337 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
338 on high-latency networks.
339 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
340 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
341 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
342 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
343 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
344 by Gunnar Ritter.
345 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
346 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
