4 2
3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6FEAT: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7FEAT: hotkey font resizing 10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
8FEAT: searchable backlog 11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
9FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
10FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
11FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
12FEAT: OnTheSpot editing. 15WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
13FEAT: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 16WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
17WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
18WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
19DUMB: support tex fonts
14 20
21TODO: really enable libafterimage by default (6mb => 10mb rss without using it)?
22TODO: document -blr units, and possibly fix blur (20 seems to be about 3 pixels,
23 80 seems to be about 3 pixels, too, just much slower).
24TODO: when window partially off-screen, -blr does not have any effect anymore.
25TODO: rid of global dpy variable.
26TODO: segfault with -ip in cvs:

338.
34 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
35 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
36 /usr/X11R6/lib.
37 - initial transparency improvement/afterstep support
38 patch by Sasha Vasko.
39 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
40 (patch by Philip Paeps).
41 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
42 (patch by Mikachu).
43 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
44 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
45 digit (exg).
46 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
47 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
48 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
49 extension (tpope).
50
518.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
52 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
53 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
54 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
55 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
56 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
57 (found by Aiviru).
58 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
59 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
60 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
61 case to work around for :/
62 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
63 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
64 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
65 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
66 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
67 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
68 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
69 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
70 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
71 Paskevich).
72 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
73 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
74 - update libptytty.
75 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
76 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
77 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
78 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
79 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
80 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
81 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
82 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
83 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
84
858.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
86 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
87 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
88 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
89 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
90 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
91 Reported by Takano Akio.
92 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
93 reported by exg.
94 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
95 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
96 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
97 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
98
998.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
100 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
101 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
102 circumstances (reported by exg).
103 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
104 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
105 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
106 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
107 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
108 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
109 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
110 - update to libptytty-1.0.
111 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
112 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
113 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
114 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
115 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
116 bug #143985).
117 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
118 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
119 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
120 - manpage fix by exg.
121
1227.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
123 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
124 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
125 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
126 it does! :->
127 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
128 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
129
1307.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
131 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
132 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
133 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
134 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
135 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
136 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
137 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
138 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
139 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
140 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
141 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
142 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
143 uppercase character.
144 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
145 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
146 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
147 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
148 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
149 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
150 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
151 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
152 generic osc_seq.
153 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
154 were invoked recursively.
155 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
156 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
157 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
158 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
159 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
160 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
161 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
162 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
163 by omatunto_.
164 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
165 follow C++ closely enough.
166 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
167 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
168 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
169 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
170
1717.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
172 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
173 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
174 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
175 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
176 click, and eats the click.
177 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
178 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
179 refresh bugs please.
180 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
181 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
182 improve size hint setting.
183 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
184 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
185 to correctly position their preedit window.
186 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
187 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
188 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
189 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
190 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
191 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
192 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
193 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
194 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
195 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
196 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
197 (reported by Paco-Paco).
198 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
199 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
200 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
201
2027.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
203 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
204 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
205 resource value.
206 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
207 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
208 relevant tab window.
209 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
210 (initial patch by hednod).
211 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
212 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
213 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
214 the benefit of automove-background.
215 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
216 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
217 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
218 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
219 __linux__.
220 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
221 the colour components.
222 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
223 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
224 - more colour rtt optimisations.
225 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
226 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
227 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
228 - minor libptytty update.
229
2307.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
231 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
232 detection:
233 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
234 - overlap detection was improved.
235 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
236 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
237 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
238 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
239 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
240 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
241 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
242 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
243 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
244 broken.
245 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
246 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
247 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
248 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
249 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
250 (patch by Paco-Paco).
251 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
252 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
253 an "[alpha]" prefix.
254 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
255 transparent. Long Live Xft!
256 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
257 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
258 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
259 on a pseudocolor screen.
260 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
261 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
262 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
263 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
264 - small configure updates.
265 - further RTT optimisations.
266 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
267 the debian package.
268 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
269 but much newer than the old one.
270
2717.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
272 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
273 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
274 - small configure updates for libptytty.
275 - fixed version options: line output.
276 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
277
2787.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
279 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
280 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
281 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
282 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
283 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
284 selection extension.
285 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
286 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
287 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
288 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
289 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
290 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
291 needs the careful rendering mode.
292 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
293 too wide and needs careful mode.
294 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
295 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
296 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
297 atoms only once per display.
298 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
299 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
300 xterm.
301
3027.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
303 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
304 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
305 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
306 ctrl-shift-672c).
307 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
308 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
309 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
310 the primary screen.
311 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
312 could lead to an assertion failure.
313 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
314 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
315 via mouse clicks.
316 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
317 with shift - mouse button 2.
318 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
319 in non-synthetic events.
320 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
321 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
322 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
323 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
324 whole urxvt[d] process.
325 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
326 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
327 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
328 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
329
3307.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
331 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
332 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
333 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
334 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
335 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
336 special privileges.
337 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
338 itself.
339 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
340 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
341 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
342 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
343 similar stuff.
344 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
345 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
346 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
347 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
348 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
349 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
350 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
351 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
352 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
353 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
354 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
355 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
356 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
357 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
358 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
359 to set the window title.
360 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
361 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
362 at the wrong time.
363 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
364 anymore.
365 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
366 - nuked QNX support.
367 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
368 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
369 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
370 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
371
3727.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
373 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
374 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
375 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
376 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
377 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
378 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
379 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
380 and much much more.
381 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
382 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
383 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
384 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
385 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
386 setuid/setgid.
387 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
388 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
389 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
390 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
391 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
392 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
393 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
394 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
395 compatible, and not really small either.
396 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
397 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
398 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
399 to crashes.
400 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
401 colours.
402 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
403 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
404
4056.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
406 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
407 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
408 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
409 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
410 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
411 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
412 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
413 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
414 by Mikachu).
415 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
416 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
417 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
418 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
419 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
420 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
421 - fix directory permissions on install.
422 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
423 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
424 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
425 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
426 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
427
4286.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
429 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
430 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
431 Chuck Blake.
432 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
433 obscure the mouse cursor position.
434 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
435 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
436 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
437 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
438 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
439 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
440 transfer efficiency.
441 - further minor cleanups.
442
4436.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
444 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
445 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
446 while the user still drags.
447 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
448 not drawn correctly.
449 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
450 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
451 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
452 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
453 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
454 stripping whitespace.
455 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
456 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
457
4586.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
459 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
460 - enable slow link support by default.
461 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
462 (also a bug in original rxvt).
463 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
464 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
465 partial patch).
466 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
467 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
468 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
469 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
470 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
471 - implement -hold option.
472 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
473 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
474 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
475 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
476 - slight overall speed improvements.
477 - considerably improved code clarity.
478 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
479 buffer.
480
4815.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
482 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
483 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
484 (matters only for rxvtd).
485 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
486 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
487 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
488
4895.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
490 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
491 If you want the old behaviour, try:
492 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
493 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
494 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
495 percentage by 100-percentage.
496 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
497 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
498 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
499 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
500 windows.
501 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
502 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
503 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
504 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
505 - replaced INSTALL file.
506
5075.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
508 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
509 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
510 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
511 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
512 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
513 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
514 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
515 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
516
5175.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
518 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
519 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
520 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
521 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
522 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
523 Affects display in iso14755 box.
524 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
525 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
526 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
527 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
528 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
529 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
530 cutting pieces off of characters.
531 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
532 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
533 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
534 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
535 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
536 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
537 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
538
5395.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
540 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
541 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
542 meaning of the given key.
543 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
544 (patch by Martin Edlman).
545
5465.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
547 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
548 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
549 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
550 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
551 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
552 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
553 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
554 to disable it.
555
5565.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
557 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
558 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
559 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
560 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
561 with modifiers.
562 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
563 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
564 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
565 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
566 and clear the scrollback buffer.
567
5685.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
569 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
570 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
571 a command.
572 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
573 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
574 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
575 in Perl/Gtk2.
576 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
577 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
578 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
579 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
580 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
581 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
582 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
583 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
584 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
585 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
586 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
587 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
588 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
589 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
590 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
591 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
592 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
593 rxvt-unicode).
594 - get rid of the intpro files.
595
5965.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
597 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
598 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
599 (Kuang-che Wu).
600 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
601 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
602 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
603 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
604 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
605 along with other, similar, cleanups.
606 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
607 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
608 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
609 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
610 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
611 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
612
6135.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
614 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
615 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
616 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
617 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
618 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
619 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
620 his patience and time in tracking this down).
621 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
622 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
623 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
624 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
625 by Joël Riou).
626 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
627 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
628 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
629 - shaved off some code segment size.
630 - various code cleanups.
631 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
632
6334.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
634 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
635 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
636 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
637 -pixmap is active.
638 - new option/resource imFont.
639 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
640 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
641 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
642 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
643 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
644 (WU Fengguang).
645 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
646 examples (rxvt.1).
647 - removed src/test completely.
648 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
649
6504.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
651 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
652 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
653 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
654 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
655 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
656 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
657 resulting in segfaults.
658 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
659 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
660 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
661 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
662 (Mikael Magnusson).
663 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
664 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
665 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
666 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
667 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
668 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
669 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
670 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
671 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
672 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
673 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
674 - initialize the locale much earlier.
675 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
676
6774.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
678 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
679 black on initial startup.
680 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
681 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
682 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
683 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
684 additional multimedia keys.
685 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
686 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
687
