Still, doing it with only 2-3 + turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). + - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID + instead. + - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. + - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child + process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets + ignored. + +4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 + - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. + - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled + incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR + selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably + for large selections, but that seems unavoidable. + +4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 + - rewrote handling of default-char width. + - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING + for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window + titles etc. + - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. + - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). + - fixed a bug in the transparency code. + - upgraded iom.[Ch]. + - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update. + - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line, + which got partially overwritten by spaces. + - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling + and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented. + should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding + and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker + for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS. + - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton. + - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before. + +4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004 + - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch. + obviously in locales not having these characters they should + still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth. + Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them + thoroughly. + - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball + now, too. + +4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004 + - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu). + - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns + on high-latency networks. + - wide characters shift the correct number of characters + in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter. + - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva. + - make storage of tab movements as characters optional + on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request + by Gunnar Ritter. + - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored + or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva. + +4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004 + - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of + -ssc/-ssr settings. + - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other + programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected). + - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball. + - add compile fix for darwin. + - configure fix for transparency without tinting. + - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere. + - upgraded iom.[Ch]. + +4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004 + - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts. + - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam. + - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental. + - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C. + - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling. + - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating. + - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug". + ... terminated by a fix. + - new supported preeeditType "None". + - added FAQ about possible compose key problems. + - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion). + - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events + for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change + causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking) + (patch by Kuang-che Wu). + - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just + when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...). + - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly, + though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways). + - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ. + - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback. + - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods, + as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. 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. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and + installed if tic is available. + - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work. + - tweaked src/features.h a bit. + - removed README.unicode. + - support select&paste of tab characters. + - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported + by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson). + - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save + and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen. + - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering + screen updates with curses. + - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced + by spaces. + - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore + (likewise for other names chosen at configure time). + - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft + is just too slow for this to work. + - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support, + where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can + implement. use --enable-styles. + - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes + (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely + supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable + for terminals with "odd" number of colours). + - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul + compared to the old rxvt terminfo. + - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is + monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width. + - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which + speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found + (only for non-bold right now). + - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences. + - better default font size and style. + - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting + into the base font, but to offset this it will check each + single character against the base font extents and will only + use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge). + - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often + be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn + more often to avoid pixel-droppings. 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.
