288.0
29 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
30 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
31 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
32 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
33 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
34 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
35 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
36 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
37 bug #143985).
38 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
39 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
40 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
41
427.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
43 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
44 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
45 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
46 it does! :->
47 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
48 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
49
507.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
51 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
52 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
53 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
54 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
55 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
56 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
57 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
58 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
59 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
60 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
61 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
62 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
63 uppercase character.
64 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
65 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
66 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
67 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
68 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
69 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
70 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
71 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
72 generic osc_seq.
73 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
74 were invoked recursively.
75 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
76 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
77 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
78 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
79 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
80 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
81 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
82 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
83 by omatunto_.
84 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
85 follow C++ closely enough.
86 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
87 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
88 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
89 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
90
917.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
92 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
93 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
94 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
95 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
96 click, and eats the click.
97 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
98 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
99 refresh bugs please.
100 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
101 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
102 improve size hint setting.
103 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
104 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
105 to correctly position their preedit window.
106 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
107 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
108 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
109 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
110 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
111 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
112 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
113 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
114 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
115 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
116 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
117 (reported by Paco-Paco).
118 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
119 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
120 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
121
1227.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
123 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
124 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
125 resource value.
126 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
127 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
128 relevant tab window.
129 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
130 (initial patch by hednod).
131 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
132 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
133 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
134 the benefit of automove-background.
135 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
136 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
137 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
138 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
139 __linux__.
140 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
141 the colour components.
142 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
143 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
144 - more colour rtt optimisations.
145 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
146 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
147 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
148 - minor libptytty update.
149
1507.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
151 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
152 detection:
153 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
154 - overlap detection was improved.
155 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
156 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
157 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
158 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
159 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
160 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
161 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
162 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
163 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
164 broken.
165 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
166 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
167 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
168 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
169 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
170 (patch by Paco-Paco).
171 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
172 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
173 an "[alpha]" prefix.
174 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
175 transparent. Long Live Xft!
176 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
177 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
178 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
179 on a pseudocolor screen.
180 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
181 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
182 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
183 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
184 - small configure updates.
185 - further RTT optimisations.
186 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
187 the debian package.
188 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
189 but much newer than the old one.
190
1917.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
192 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
193 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
194 - small configure updates for libptytty.
195 - fixed version options: line output.
196 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
197
1987.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
199 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
200 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
201 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
202 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
203 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
204 selection extension.
205 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
206 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
207 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
208 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
209 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
210 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
211 needs the careful rendering mode.
212 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
213 too wide and needs careful mode.
214 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
215 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
216 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
217 atoms only once per display.
218 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
219 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
220 xterm.
221
2227.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
223 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
224 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
225 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
226 ctrl-shift-672c).
227 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
228 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
229 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
230 the primary screen.
231 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
232 could lead to an assertion failure.
233 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
234 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
235 via mouse clicks.
236 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
237 with shift - mouse button 2.
238 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
239 in non-synthetic events.
240 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
241 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
242 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
243 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
244 whole urxvt[d] process.
245 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
246 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
247 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
248 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
249
2507.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
251 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
252 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
253 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
254 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
255 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
256 special privileges.
257 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
258 itself.
259 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
260 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
261 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
262 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
263 similar stuff.
264 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
265 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
266 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
267 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
268 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
269 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
270 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
271 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
272 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
273 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
274 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
275 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
276 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
277 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
278 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
279 to set the window title.
280 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
281 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
282 at the wrong time.
283 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
284 anymore.
285 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
286 - nuked QNX support.
287 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
288 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
289 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
290 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
291
2927.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
293 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
294 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
295 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
296 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
297 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
298 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
299 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
300 and much much more.
301 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
302 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
303 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
304 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
305 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
306 setuid/setgid.
307 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
308 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
309 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
310 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
311 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
312 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
313 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
314 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
315 compatible, and not really small either.
316 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
317 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
318 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
319 to crashes.
320 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
321 colours.
322 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
323 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
324
3256.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
326 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
327 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
328 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
329 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
330 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
331 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
332 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
333 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
334 by Mikachu).
335 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
336 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
337 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
338 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
339 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
340 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
341 - fix directory permissions on install.
342 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
343 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
344 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
345 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
346 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
347
3486.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
349 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
350 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
351 Chuck Blake.
352 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
353 obscure the mouse cursor position.
354 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
355 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
356 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
357 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
358 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
359 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
360 transfer efficiency.
361 - further minor cleanups.
362
3636.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
364 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
365 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
366 while the user still drags.
367 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
368 not drawn correctly.
369 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
370 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
371 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
372 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
373 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
374 stripping whitespace.
375 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
376 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
377
3786.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
379 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
380 - enable slow link support by default.
381 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
382 (also a bug in original rxvt).
383 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
384 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
385 partial patch).
386 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
387 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
388 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
389 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
390 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
391 - implement -hold option.
392 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
393 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
394 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
395 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
396 - slight overall speed improvements.
397 - considerably improved code clarity.
398 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
399 buffer.
400
4015.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
402 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
403 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
404 (matters only for rxvtd).
405 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
406 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
407 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
408
4095.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
410 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
411 If you want the old behaviour, try:
412 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
413 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
414 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
415 percentage by 100-percentage.
416 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
417 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
418 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
419 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
420 windows.
421 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
422 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
423 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
424 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
425 - replaced INSTALL file.
426
4275.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
428 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
429 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
430 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
431 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
432 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
433 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
434 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
435 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
436
4375.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
438 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
439 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
440 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
441 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
442 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
443 Affects display in iso14755 box.
444 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
445 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
446 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
447 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
448 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
449 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
450 cutting pieces off of characters.
451 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
452 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
453 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
454 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
455 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
456 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
457 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
458
4595.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
460 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
461 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
462 meaning of the given key.
463 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
464 (patch by Martin Edlman).
465
4665.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
467 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
468 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
469 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
470 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
471 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
472 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
473 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
474 to disable it.
475
4765.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
477 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
478 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
479 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
480 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
481 with modifiers.
482 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
483 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
484 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
485 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
486 and clear the scrollback buffer.
487
4885.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
489 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
490 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
491 a command.
492 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
493 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
494 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
495 in Perl/Gtk2.
496 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
497 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
498 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
499 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
500 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
501 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
502 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
503 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
504 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
505 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
506 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
507 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
508 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
509 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
510 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
511 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
512 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
513 rxvt-unicode).
514 - get rid of the intpro files.
515
5165.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
517 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
518 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
519 (Kuang-che Wu).
520 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
521 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
522 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
523 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
524 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
525 along with other, similar, cleanups.
526 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
527 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
528 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
529 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
530 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
531 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
532
5335.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
534 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
535 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
536 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
537 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
538 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
539 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
540 his patience and time in tracking this down).
541 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
542 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
543 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
544 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
545 by Joël Riou).
546 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
547 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
548 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
549 - shaved off some code segment size.
550 - various code cleanups.
551 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
552
5534.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
554 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
555 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
556 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
557 -pixmap is active.
558 - new option/resource imFont.
559 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
560 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
561 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
562 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
563 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
564 (WU Fengguang).
565 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
566 examples (rxvt.1).
567 - removed src/test completely.
568 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
569
5704.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
571 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
572 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
573 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
574 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
575 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
576 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
577 resulting in segfaults.
578 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
579 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
580 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
581 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
582 (Mikael Magnusson).
583 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
584 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
585 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
586 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
587 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
588 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
589 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
590 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
591 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
592 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
593 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
594 - initialize the locale much earlier.
595 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
596
5974.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
598 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
599 black on initial startup.
600 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
601 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
602 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
603 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
604 additional multimedia keys.
605 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
606 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
607
6084.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004

15 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 610 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
611 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
612 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
613 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
614 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
615 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
616 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
617 ignored.
618 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
619 instead.
620 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
621 (reported by hednod).
622 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
623 - fix atom name enumeration.
