103.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
11 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
12 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
13 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
14 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
15 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
16 memmove :)
17 - minor cleanups.
18 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
19 (debian bug #169415).
20 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
21 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
22 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
23 - updated config.guess.
24
253.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
26 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
27 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
28 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
29 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
30 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
31 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
32 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
33 speeding up scrolling immensely.
34 - various other optimizations.
35 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
36
373.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
38 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
39 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
40 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
41 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
42 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
43 Mikael Magnusson).
44 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
45 Mikael Magnusson).
46 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
47 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
48 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
49
503.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
51 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
52 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
53 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
54 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
55 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
56 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
57 with ^V (SYN).
58 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
59
603.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
61 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
62 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
63 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
64 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
65 well as with other terminal emulators.
66 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
67 (reported by elmex).
68 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
69 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
70 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
71 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
72 Bloch.
73
743.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
75 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
76 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
77 sorry).
78 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
79 make it a little bit more correct c++).
80
812.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
82 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
83 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
84 - minor i18n issue fixes.
85
862.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
87 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
88 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
89 - fix some minor bugs.
90
912.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
92 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
93 for the keymappings.
94 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
95 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
96 - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
97 extension and is slightly ugly.
98 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
99 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
100 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
101 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
102 - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
103 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
104 overwritten (as is common).
105 - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
106 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
107
1082.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
109 - minor doc corrections.
110 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
111 avoid clashes with xterm.
112 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
113 - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
114 colour when arg is "?".
115 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
116 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
117 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
118 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
119 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
120 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
121 (FRILLS).
122 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
123 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
124 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
125 - set _NET_WM_PID.
126
1272.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
128 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
129 - support more 8-bit controls.
130 - more informative error messages.
131 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
132 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
133 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
134 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
135 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
136
1372.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
138 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
139 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
140 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
141 - removed old selection style completely.
142 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
143 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
144 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
145 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
146 be used from within rxvt.
147 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
148
1492.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
150 - code cleanup release.
151 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
152 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
153 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
154 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
155 all files.
156 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
157 --enable-xgetdefaults.
158
1592.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
160 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
161 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
162 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
163 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
164 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
165 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
166 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
167 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
168 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
169 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
170 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
171 --disable-xgetdefault.
172 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
173 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
174 unicode character.
175 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
176 get it wrong.
177 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
178
1792.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
180 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
181 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
182 settings.
183 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
184 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
185 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
186 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
187 mbrtowc.
188 - more robust encoding name matching.
189 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
190 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
191 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
192 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
193 resources and docs.
194 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
195
1962.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
197 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
198 - some doc cleanup
199 - configure cleanup
200 - viscii enabled by default
201 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
