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.

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 implementign tabbed termianls. + - 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.
