136.1
14 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
15 while the user still drags.
16
176.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
18 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
19 - enable slow link support by default.
20 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
21 (also a bug in original rxvt).
22 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
23 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
24 partial patch).
25 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
26 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
27 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
28 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
29 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
30 - implement -hold option.
31 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
32 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
33 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
34 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
35 - slight overall speed improvements.
36 - considerably improved code clarity.
37 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
38 buffer.
39
405.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
41 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
42 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
43 (matters only for rxvtd).
44 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
45 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
46 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
47
485.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
50 If you want the old behaviour, try:
51 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
52 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
53 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
54 percentage by 100-percentage.
55 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
56 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
57 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
58 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
59 windows.
60 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
61 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
62 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
63 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
64 - replaced INSTALL file.
65
665.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
67 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
68 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
69 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
70 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
71 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
72 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
73 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
74 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
75
765.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
77 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
78 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
79 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
80 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
81 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
82 Affects display in iso14755 box.
83 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
84 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
85 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
86 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
87 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
88 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
89 cutting pieces off of characters.
90 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
91 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
92 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
93 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
94 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
95 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
96 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
97
985.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
99 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
100 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
101 meaning of the given key.
102 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
103 (patch by Martin Edlman).
104
1055.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
106 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
107 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
108 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
109 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
110 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
111 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
112 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
113 to disable it.
114
1155.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
116 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
117 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
118 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
119 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
120 with modifiers.
121 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
122 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
123 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
124 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
125 and clear the scrollback buffer.
126
1275.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
128 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
129 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
130 a command.
131 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
132 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
133 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
134 in Perl/Gtk2.
135 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
136 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
137 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
138 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
139 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
140 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
141 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
142 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
143 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
144 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
145 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
146 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
147 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
148 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
149 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
150 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
151 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
152 rxvt-unicode).
153 - get rid of the intpro files.
154
1555.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
156 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
157 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
158 (Kuang-che Wu).
159 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
160 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
161 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
162 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
163 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
164 along with other, similar, cleanups.
165 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
166 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
167 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
168 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
169 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
170 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
171
1725.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
173 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
174 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
175 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
176 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
177 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
178 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
179 his patience and time in tracking this down).
180 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
181 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
182 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
183 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
184 by Joël Riou).
185 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
186 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
187 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
188 - shaved off some code segment size.
189 - various code cleanups.
190 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
191
1924.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
193 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
194 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
195 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
196 -pixmap is active.
197 - new option/resource imFont.
198 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
199 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
200 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
201 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
202 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
203 (WU Fengguang).
204 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
205 examples (rxvt.1).
206 - removed src/test completely.
207 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
208
2094.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
210 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
211 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
212 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
213 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
214 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
215 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
216 resulting in segfaults.
217 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
218 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
219 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
220 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
221 (Mikael Magnusson).
222 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
223 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
224 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
225 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
226 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
227 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
228 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
229 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
230 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
231 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
232 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
233 - initialize the locale much earlier.
234 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
235
2364.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
237 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
238 black on initial startup.
239 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
240 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
241 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
242 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
243 additional multimedia keys.
244 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
245 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
246

20 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement. 252 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
253 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
254 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
255 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
256 ignored.
21 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID 257 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
