4 2
3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
8WISH: hotkey font resizing (possible via keymaps) 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
9WISH: searchable backlog 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
10WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
11WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
12WISH: OnTheSpot editing. 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
13WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
14WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 18DUMB: support tex fonts
19
20TODO: align default value of cutchars with rxvt.1.pod and add it as a fallback in perl 'selection'
21 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377194
22 - expect major compatibility issues and please test and report.
23 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
24 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
25 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
26 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
27 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
28 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
29 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
30
318.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
32 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
33 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
34 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
35 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
36 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
37 missing DISPLAY.
38 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
39 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
40 - updated io_manager.
41
428.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
43 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
44 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
45 /usr/X11R6/lib.
46 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
47 patch by Sasha Vasko.
48 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
49 (patch by Philip Paeps).
50 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
51 (patch by Mikachu).
52 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
53 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
54 digit (exg).
55 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
56 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
57 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
58 extension (tpope).
59 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
60 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
61 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
62 problems.
63
648.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
65 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
66 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
67 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
68 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
69 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
70 (found by Aiviru).
71 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
72 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
73 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
74 case to work around for :/
75 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
76 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
77 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
78 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
79 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
80 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
81 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
82 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
83 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
84 Paskevich).
85 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
86 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
87 - update libptytty.
88 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
89 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
90 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
91 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
92 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
93 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
94 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
95 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
96 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
97
988.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
99 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
100 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
101 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
102 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
103 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
104 Reported by Takano Akio.
105 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
106 reported by exg.
107 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
108 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
109 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
110 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
111
1128.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
113 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
114 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
115 circumstances (reported by exg).
116 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
117 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
118 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
119 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
120 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
121 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
122 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
123 - update to libptytty-1.0.
124 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
125 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
126 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
127 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
128 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
129 bug #143985).
130 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
131 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
132 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
133 - manpage fix by exg.
134
1357.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
136 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
137 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
138 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
139 it does! :->
140 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
141 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
142
1437.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
144 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
145 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
146 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
147 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
148 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
149 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
150 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
151 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
152 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
153 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
154 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
155 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
156 uppercase character.
157 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
158 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
159 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
160 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
161 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
162 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
163 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
164 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
165 generic osc_seq.
166 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
167 were invoked recursively.
168 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
169 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
170 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
171 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
172 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
173 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
174 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
175 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
176 by omatunto_.
177 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
178 follow C++ closely enough.
179 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
180 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
181 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
182 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
183
1847.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
185 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
186 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
187 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
188 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
189 click, and eats the click.
190 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
191 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
192 refresh bugs please.
193 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
194 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
195 improve size hint setting.
196 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
197 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
198 to correctly position their preedit window.
199 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
200 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
201 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
202 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
203 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
204 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
205 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
206 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
207 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
208 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
209 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
210 (reported by Paco-Paco).
211 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
212 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
213 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
214
2157.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
216 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
217 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
218 resource value.
219 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
220 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
221 relevant tab window.
222 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
223 (initial patch by hednod).
224 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
225 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
226 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
227 the benefit of automove-background.
228 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
229 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
230 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
231 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
232 __linux__.
233 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
234 the colour components.
235 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
236 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
237 - more colour rtt optimisations.
238 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
239 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
240 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
241 - minor libptytty update.
242
2437.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
244 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
245 detection:
246 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
247 - overlap detection was improved.
248 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
249 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
250 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
251 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
252 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
253 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
254 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
255 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
256 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
257 broken.
258 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
259 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
260 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
261 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
262 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
263 (patch by Paco-Paco).
264 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
265 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
266 an "[alpha]" prefix.
267 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
268 transparent. Long Live Xft!
269 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
270 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
271 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
272 on a pseudocolor screen.
273 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
274 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
275 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
276 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
277 - small configure updates.
278 - further RTT optimisations.
279 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
280 the debian package.
281 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
282 but much newer than the old one.
283
2847.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
285 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
286 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
287 - small configure updates for libptytty.
288 - fixed version options: line output.
289 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
290
2917.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
292 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
293 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
294 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
295 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
296 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
297 selection extension.
298 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
299 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
300 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
301 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
302 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
303 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
304 needs the careful rendering mode.
305 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
306 too wide and needs careful mode.
307 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
308 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
309 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
310 atoms only once per display.
311 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
312 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
313 xterm.
314
3157.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
316 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
317 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
318 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
319 ctrl-shift-672c).
320 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
321 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
322 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
323 the primary screen.
324 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
325 could lead to an assertion failure.
326 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
327 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
328 via mouse clicks.
329 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
330 with shift - mouse button 2.
331 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
332 in non-synthetic events.
333 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
334 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
335 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
336 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
337 whole urxvt[d] process.
338 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
339 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
340 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
341 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
342
3437.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
344 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
345 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
346 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
347 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
348 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
349 special privileges.
350 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
351 itself.
352 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
353 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
354 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
355 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
356 similar stuff.
357 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
358 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
359 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
360 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
361 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
362 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
363 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
364 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
365 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
366 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
367 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
368 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
369 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
370 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
371 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
372 to set the window title.
373 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
374 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
375 at the wrong time.
376 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
377 anymore.
378 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
379 - nuked QNX support.
380 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
381 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
382 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
383 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
384
3857.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
386 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
387 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
388 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
389 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
390 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
391 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
392 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
393 and much much more.
394 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
395 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
396 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
397 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
398 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
399 setuid/setgid.
400 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
401 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
402 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
403 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
404 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
405 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
407 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
408 compatible, and not really small either.
409 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
410 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
411 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
412 to crashes.
413 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
414 colours.
415 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
416 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
417
4186.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
419 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
420 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
421 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
422 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
423 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
424 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
425 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
426 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
427 by Mikachu).
428 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
429 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
430 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
431 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
432 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
433 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
434 - fix directory permissions on install.
435 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
436 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
437 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
438 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
439 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
440
4416.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
442 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
443 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
444 Chuck Blake.
445 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
446 obscure the mouse cursor position.
447 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
448 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
449 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
450 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
451 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
452 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
453 transfer efficiency.
454 - further minor cleanups.
455
4566.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
457 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
458 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
459 while the user still drags.
460 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
461 not drawn correctly.
462 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
463 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
464 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
465 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
466 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
467 stripping whitespace.
468 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
469 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
470
4716.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
472 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
473 - enable slow link support by default.
474 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
475 (also a bug in original rxvt).
476 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
477 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
478 partial patch).
479 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
480 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
481 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
482 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
483 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
484 - implement -hold option.
485 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
486 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
487 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
488 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
489 - slight overall speed improvements.
490 - considerably improved code clarity.
491 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
492 buffer.
493
4945.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
495 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
496 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
497 (matters only for rxvtd).
498 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
499 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
500 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
501
5025.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
503 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
504 If you want the old behaviour, try:
505 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
506 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
507 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
508 percentage by 100-percentage.
509 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
510 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
511 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
512 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
513 windows.
514 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
515 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
516 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
517 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
518 - replaced INSTALL file.
519
5205.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
521 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
522 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
523 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
524 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
525 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
526 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
527 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
528 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
529
5305.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
531 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
532 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
533 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
534 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
535 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
536 Affects display in iso14755 box.
537 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
538 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
539 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
540 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
541 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
542 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
543 cutting pieces off of characters.
544 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
545 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
546 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
547 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
548 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
549 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
550 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
551
5525.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
553 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
554 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
555 meaning of the given key.
556 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
557 (patch by Martin Edlman).
558
5595.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
560 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
561 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
562 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
563 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
564 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
565 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
566 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
567 to disable it.
568
5695.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
570 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
571 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
572 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
573 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
574 with modifiers.
575 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
576 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
577 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
578 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
579 and clear the scrollback buffer.
580
5815.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
582 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
583 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
584 a command.
585 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
586 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
587 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
588 in Perl/Gtk2.
589 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
590 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
591 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
592 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
593 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
594 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
595 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
596 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
597 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
598 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
599 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
600 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
601 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
602 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
603 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
604 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
605 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
606 rxvt-unicode).
607 - get rid of the intpro files.
608
6095.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
610 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
611 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
612 (Kuang-che Wu).
613 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
614 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
615 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
616 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
617 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
618 along with other, similar, cleanups.
619 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
620 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
621 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
622 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
623 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
624 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
625
6265.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
627 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
628 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
629 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
630 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
631 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
632 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
633 his patience and time in tracking this down).
634 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
635 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
636 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
637 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
638 by Joël Riou).
639 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
640 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
641 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
642 - shaved off some code segment size.
643 - various code cleanups.
644 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
