156.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
16 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
17 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
18 while the user still drags.
19 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
20 not drawn correctly.
21 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
22 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
23 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
24 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
25 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
26 stripping whitespace.
27 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
28 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
29
306.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
31 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
32 - enable slow link support by default.
33 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
34 (also a bug in original rxvt).
35 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
36 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
37 partial patch).
38 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
39 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
40 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
41 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
42 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
43 - implement -hold option.
44 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
45 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
46 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
47 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
48 - slight overall speed improvements.
49 - considerably improved code clarity.
50 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
51 buffer.
52
535.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
54 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
55 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
56 (matters only for rxvtd).
57 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
58 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
59 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
60
615.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
62 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
63 If you want the old behaviour, try:
64 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
65 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
66 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
67 percentage by 100-percentage.
68 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
69 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
70 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
71 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
72 windows.
73 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
74 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
75 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
76 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
77 - replaced INSTALL file.
78
795.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
80 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
81 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
82 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
83 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
84 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
85 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
86 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
87 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
88
895.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
90 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
91 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
92 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
93 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
94 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
95 Affects display in iso14755 box.
96 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
97 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
98 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
99 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
100 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
101 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
102 cutting pieces off of characters.
103 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
104 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
105 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
106 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
107 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
108 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
109 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
110
1115.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
112 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
113 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
114 meaning of the given key.
115 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
116 (patch by Martin Edlman).
117
1185.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
119 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
120 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
121 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
122 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
123 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
124 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
125 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
126 to disable it.
127
1285.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
129 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
130 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
131 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
132 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
133 with modifiers.
134 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
135 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
136 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
137 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
138 and clear the scrollback buffer.
139
1405.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
141 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
142 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
143 a command.
144 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
145 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
146 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
147 in Perl/Gtk2.
148 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
149 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
150 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
151 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
152 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
153 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
154 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
155 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
156 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
157 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
158 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
159 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
160 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
161 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
162 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
163 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
164 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
165 rxvt-unicode).
166 - get rid of the intpro files.
167
1685.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
169 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
170 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
171 (Kuang-che Wu).
172 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
173 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
174 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
175 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
176 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
177 along with other, similar, cleanups.
178 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
179 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
180 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
181 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
182 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
183 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
184
1855.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
186 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
187 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
188 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
189 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
190 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
191 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
192 his patience and time in tracking this down).
193 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
194 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
195 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
196 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
197 by Joël Riou).
198 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
199 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
200 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
201 - shaved off some code segment size.
202 - various code cleanups.
203 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
204
2054.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
206 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
207 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
208 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
209 -pixmap is active.
210 - new option/resource imFont.
211 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
212 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
213 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
214 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
215 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
216 (WU Fengguang).
217 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
218 examples (rxvt.1).
219 - removed src/test completely.
220 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
221
2224.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
223 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
224 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
225 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
226 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
227 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
228 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
229 resulting in segfaults.
230 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
231 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
232 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
233 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
234 (Mikael Magnusson).
235 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
236 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
237 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
238 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
239 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
240 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
241 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
242 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
243 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
244 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
245 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
246 - initialize the locale much earlier.
247 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
248
2494.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
250 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
251 black on initial startup.
252 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
253 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
254 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
255 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
256 additional multimedia keys.
257 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
258 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
259

20 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement. 265 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
266 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
267 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
268 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
269 ignored.
