5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6FEAT: hotkey font resizing
7FEAT: searchable backlog
8FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
9FEAT: triple-click == select full output line
10FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
11FEAT: OnTheSpot editing.
12FEAT: tabbed windows
13
14 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix
15 garbled incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short
16 INCR selections.
17
184.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
19 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
20 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
21 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
22 titles etc.
23 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
24 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
25 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
26 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
27 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
28 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
29 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
30 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
31 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
32 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
33 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
34 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
35 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
36 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
37
384.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
39 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
40 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
41 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
42 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
43 thoroughly.
44 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
45 now, too.
46
474.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
48 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
49 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
50 on high-latency networks.
51 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
52 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
53 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
54 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
55 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
56 by Gunnar Ritter.
57 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
58 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
59
604.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
61 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
62 -ssc/-ssr settings.
63 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
64 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
65 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
66 - add compile fix for darwin.
67 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
68 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
69 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
70
714.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
72 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
73 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
74 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
75 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
76 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
77 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
78 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
79 ... terminated by a fix.
80 - new supported preeeditType "None".
81 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
82 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
83 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
84 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
85 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
86 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
87 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
88 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
89 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
90 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
91 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
92 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
93 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
94 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
95 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
96 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
97 in tracking this down.
98 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
99 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
100
1013.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
102 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
103 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
104
1053.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
106 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
107 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
108 installed if tic is available.
109 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
110 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
111 - removed README.unicode.
112 - support select&paste of tab characters.
113 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
114 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
115 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
116 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
117 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
118 screen updates with curses.
119 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
120 by spaces.
121 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
122 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
123 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
124 is just too slow for this to work.
125 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
126 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
127 implement. use --enable-styles.
128 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
129 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
130 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
131 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
132 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
133 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
134 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
135 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
136 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
137 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
138 (only for non-bold right now).
139 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
140 - better default font size and style.
141 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
142 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
143 single character against the base font extents and will only
144 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
145 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
146 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
147 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
148 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
149 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
150 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
151 screen height.
152 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
153 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
154 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
155 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
156 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
157 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
158 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
159 - removed OSC 702.
160 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
161 confused by it rather than using it.
162
1633.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
164 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
165 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
166 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
167 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
168 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
169 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
170 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
171 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
172 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
173 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
174 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
175 close).
176 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
177 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
178 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
179 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
180 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
181 could not be created.
182 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
183 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
184 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
185 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
186 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
187 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
188 works.
189 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
190 - document more escape sequences.
191 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
192 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
193 character is a sensible operation.
194 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
195 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
196 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
197 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
198 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
199 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
200 with selections).
201
2023.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
203 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
204 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
205 needs access to a local shell window).
206 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
207 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
208 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
209 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
210 a little window or so) would be welcome.
211 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
212 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
213 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
214 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
215 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
216 added there.
217 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
218 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
219 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
220 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
221 instead of being ignored.
222 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
223 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
224 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
225 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
226 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
227 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
228 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
229 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
230 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
231 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
232 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
233 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
234 needs testing anyways.
235 - more complete compile options help output.
236 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
237 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
238 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
239 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
240 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
241 - minor doc fix.
242
2433.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
244 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
245 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
246 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
247 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
248 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
249 memmove :)
250 - minor cleanups.
251 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
252 (debian bug #169415).
253 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
254 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
255 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
256 - updated config.guess.
257
2583.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
259 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
260 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
261 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
262 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
263 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
264 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
265 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
266 speeding up scrolling immensely.
267 - various other optimizations.
268 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
269
2703.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
271 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
272 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
273 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
274 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
275 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
276 Mikael Magnusson).
277 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
278 Mikael Magnusson).
279 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
280 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
281 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
282
2833.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
284 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
285 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
286 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
287 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
288 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
289 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
290 with ^V (SYN).
291 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
292
2933.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
294 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
295 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
296 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
297 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
298 well as with other terminal emulators.
299 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
300 (reported by elmex).
301 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
302 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
303 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
304 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
305 Bloch.
306
3073.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
308 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
309 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
310 sorry).
311 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
312 make it a little bit more correct c++).
