13 22
145.2 238.
24 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
25 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
26 (patch by Mikachu).
27 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
28 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
29 (patch by Philip Paeps).
30 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
31 digit.
32
338.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
34 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
35 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
36 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
37 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
38 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
39 (found by Aiviru).
40 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
41 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
42 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
43 case to work around for :/
44 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
45 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
46 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
47 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
48 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
49 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
50 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
51 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
52 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
53 Paskevich).
54 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
55 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
56 - update libptytty.
57 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
58 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
59 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
60 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
61 from (50,50) to (0,0).
62 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
63 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
64 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
65 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor.
66
678.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
68 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
69 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
70 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
71 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
72 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
73 Reported by Takano Akio.
74 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
75 reported by exg.
76 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
77 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
78 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
79 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
80
818.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
82 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
83 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
84 circumstances (reported by exg).
85 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
86 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
87 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
88 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
89 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
90 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
91 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
92 - update to libptytty-1.0.
93 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
94 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
95 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
96 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
97 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
98 bug #143985).
99 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
100 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
101 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
102 - manpage fix by exg.
103
1047.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
105 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
106 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
107 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
108 it does! :->
109 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
110 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
111
1127.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
113 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
114 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
115 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
116 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
117 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
118 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
119 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
120 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
121 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
122 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
123 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
124 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
125 uppercase character.
126 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
127 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
128 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
129 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
130 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
131 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
132 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
133 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
134 generic osc_seq.
135 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
136 were invoked recursively.
137 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
138 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
139 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
140 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
141 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
142 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
143 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
144 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
145 by omatunto_.
146 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
147 follow C++ closely enough.
148 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
149 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
150 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
151 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
152
1537.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
154 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
155 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
156 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
157 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
158 click, and eats the click.
159 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
160 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
161 refresh bugs please.
162 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
163 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
164 improve size hint setting.
165 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
166 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
167 to correctly position their preedit window.
168 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
169 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
170 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
171 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
172 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
173 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
174 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
175 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
176 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
177 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
178 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
179 (reported by Paco-Paco).
180 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
181 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
182 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
183
1847.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
185 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
186 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
187 resource value.
188 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
189 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
190 relevant tab window.
191 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
192 (initial patch by hednod).
193 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
194 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
195 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
196 the benefit of automove-background.
197 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
198 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
199 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
200 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
201 __linux__.
202 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
203 the colour components.
204 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
205 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
206 - more colour rtt optimisations.
207 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
208 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
209 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
210 - minor libptytty update.
211
2127.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
213 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
214 detection:
215 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
216 - overlap detection was improved.
217 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
218 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
219 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
220 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
221 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
222 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
223 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
224 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
225 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
226 broken.
227 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
228 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
229 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
230 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
231 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
232 (patch by Paco-Paco).
233 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
234 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
235 an "[alpha]" prefix.
236 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
237 transparent. Long Live Xft!
238 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
239 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
240 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
241 on a pseudocolor screen.
242 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
243 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
244 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
245 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
246 - small configure updates.
247 - further RTT optimisations.
248 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
249 the debian package.
250 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
251 but much newer than the old one.
252
2537.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
254 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
255 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
256 - small configure updates for libptytty.
257 - fixed version options: line output.
258 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
259
2607.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
261 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
262 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
263 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
264 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
265 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
266 selection extension.
267 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
268 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
269 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
270 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
271 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
272 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
273 needs the careful rendering mode.
274 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
275 too wide and needs careful mode.
276 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
277 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
278 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
279 atoms only once per display.
280 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
281 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
282 xterm.
283
2847.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
285 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
286 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
287 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
288 ctrl-shift-672c).
289 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
290 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
291 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
292 the primary screen.
293 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
294 could lead to an assertion failure.
295 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
296 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
297 via mouse clicks.
298 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
299 with shift - mouse button 2.
300 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
301 in non-synthetic events.
302 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
303 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
304 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
305 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
306 whole urxvt[d] process.
307 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
308 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
309 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
310 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
311
3127.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
313 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
314 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
315 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
316 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
317 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
318 special privileges.
319 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
320 itself.
321 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
322 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
323 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
324 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
325 similar stuff.
326 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
327 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
328 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
329 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
330 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
331 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
332 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
333 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
334 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
335 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
336 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
337 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
338 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
339 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
340 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
341 to set the window title.
342 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
343 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
344 at the wrong time.
345 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
346 anymore.
347 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
348 - nuked QNX support.
349 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
350 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
351 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
352 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
353
3547.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
355 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
356 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
357 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
358 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
359 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
360 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
361 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
362 and much much more.
363 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
364 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
365 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
366 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
367 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
368 setuid/setgid.
369 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
370 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
371 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
372 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
373 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
374 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
375 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
376 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
377 compatible, and not really small either.
378 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
379 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
380 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
381 to crashes.
382 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
383 colours.
384 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
385 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
386
3876.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
388 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
389 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
390 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
391 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
392 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
393 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
394 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
395 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
396 by Mikachu).
397 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
398 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
399 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
400 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
401 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
402 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
403 - fix directory permissions on install.
404 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
405 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
406 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
407 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
408 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
409
4106.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
411 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
412 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
413 Chuck Blake.
414 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
415 obscure the mouse cursor position.
416 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
417 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
418 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
419 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
420 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
421 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
422 transfer efficiency.
423 - further minor cleanups.
424
4256.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
426 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
427 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
428 while the user still drags.
429 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
430 not drawn correctly.
431 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
432 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
433 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
434 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
435 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
436 stripping whitespace.
437 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
438 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
439
4406.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
441 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
442 - enable slow link support by default.
443 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
444 (also a bug in original rxvt).
445 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
446 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
447 partial patch).
448 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
449 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
450 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
451 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
452 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
453 - implement -hold option.
454 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
455 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
456 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
457 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
458 - slight overall speed improvements.
459 - considerably improved code clarity.
460 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
461 buffer.
462
4635.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
464 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
465 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
466 (matters only for rxvtd).
467 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
468 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
469 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
470
4715.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
472 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
473 If you want the old behaviour, try:
474 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
475 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
476 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
477 percentage by 100-percentage.
478 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
479 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
480 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
481 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
482 windows.
483 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
484 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
485 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
486 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
487 - replaced INSTALL file.
488
4895.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
490 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
491 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
492 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
493 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
494 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
495 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
496 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
497 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
498
4995.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
500 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
501 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
502 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
503 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
504 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
505 Affects display in iso14755 box.
506 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
507 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
508 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
509 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
510 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
511 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
512 cutting pieces off of characters.
513 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
514 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
515 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
516 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
517 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
518 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
519 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
520
5215.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
522 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
523 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
524 meaning of the given key.
525 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
526 (patch by Martin Edlman).
527
5285.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
529 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
530 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
531 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
532 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
533 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
534 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
535 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
536 to disable it.
537
5385.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
539 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
540 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
541 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
542 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
543 with modifiers.
544 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
545 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
546 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
547 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
548 and clear the scrollback buffer.
549
5505.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005

16 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting 552 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
17 a command. 553 a command.
554 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
555 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
556 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
557 in Perl/Gtk2.
558 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
559 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
560 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
