14 22
155.2 238.
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
318.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
32 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
33 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
34 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
35 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
36 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
37 (found by Aiviru).
38 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
39 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
40 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
41 case to work around for :/
42 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
43 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
44 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
45 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
46 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
47 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
48 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
49 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
50 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
51 Paskevich).
52 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
53 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
54 - update libptytty.
55 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
56 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
57 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
58 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
59 from (50,50) to (0,0).
60 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
61 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
62 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
63 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor.
64
658.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
66 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
67 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
68 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
69 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
70 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
71 Reported by Takano Akio.
72 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
73 reported by exg.
74 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
75 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
76 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
77 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
78
798.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
80 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
81 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
82 circumstances (reported by exg).
83 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
84 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
85 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
86 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
87 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
88 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
89 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
90 - update to libptytty-1.0.
91 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
92 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
93 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
94 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
95 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
96 bug #143985).
97 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
98 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
99 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
100 - manpage fix by exg.
101
1027.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
103 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
104 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
105 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
106 it does! :->
107 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
108 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
109
1107.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
111 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
112 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
113 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
114 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
115 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
116 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
117 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
118 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
119 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
120 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
121 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
122 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
123 uppercase character.
124 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
125 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
126 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
127 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
128 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
129 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
130 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
131 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
132 generic osc_seq.
133 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
134 were invoked recursively.
135 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
136 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
137 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
138 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
139 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
140 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
141 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
142 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
143 by omatunto_.
144 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
145 follow C++ closely enough.
146 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
147 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
148 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
149 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
150
1517.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
152 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
153 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
154 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
155 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
156 click, and eats the click.
157 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
158 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
159 refresh bugs please.
160 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
161 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
162 improve size hint setting.
163 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
164 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
165 to correctly position their preedit window.
166 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
167 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
168 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
169 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
170 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
171 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
172 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
173 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
174 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
175 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
176 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
177 (reported by Paco-Paco).
178 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
179 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
180 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
181
1827.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
183 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
184 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
185 resource value.
186 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
187 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
188 relevant tab window.
189 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
190 (initial patch by hednod).
191 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
192 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
193 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
194 the benefit of automove-background.
195 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
196 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
197 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
198 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
199 __linux__.
200 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
201 the colour components.
202 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
203 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
204 - more colour rtt optimisations.
205 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
206 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
207 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
208 - minor libptytty update.
209
2107.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
211 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
212 detection:
213 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
214 - overlap detection was improved.
215 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
216 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
217 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
218 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
219 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
220 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
221 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
222 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
223 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
224 broken.
225 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
226 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
227 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
228 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
229 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
230 (patch by Paco-Paco).
231 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
232 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
233 an "[alpha]" prefix.
234 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
235 transparent. Long Live Xft!
236 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
237 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
238 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
239 on a pseudocolor screen.
240 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
241 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
242 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
243 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
244 - small configure updates.
245 - further RTT optimisations.
246 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
247 the debian package.
248 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
249 but much newer than the old one.
250
2517.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
252 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
253 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
254 - small configure updates for libptytty.
255 - fixed version options: line output.
256 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
257
2587.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
259 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
260 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
261 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
262 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
263 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
264 selection extension.
265 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
266 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
267 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
268 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
269 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
270 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
271 needs the careful rendering mode.
272 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
273 too wide and needs careful mode.
274 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
275 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
276 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
277 atoms only once per display.
278 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
279 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
280 xterm.
281
2827.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
283 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
284 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
285 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
286 ctrl-shift-672c).
287 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
288 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
289 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
290 the primary screen.
291 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
292 could lead to an assertion failure.
293 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
294 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
295 via mouse clicks.
296 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
297 with shift - mouse button 2.
298 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
299 in non-synthetic events.
300 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
301 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
302 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
303 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
304 whole urxvt[d] process.
305 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
306 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
307 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
308 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
309
3107.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
311 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
312 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
313 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
314 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
315 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
316 special privileges.
317 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
318 itself.
319 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
320 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
321 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
322 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
323 similar stuff.
324 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
325 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
326 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
327 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
328 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
329 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
330 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
331 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
332 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
333 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
334 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
335 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
336 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
337 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
338 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
339 to set the window title.
340 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
341 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
342 at the wrong time.
343 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
344 anymore.
345 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
346 - nuked QNX support.
347 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
348 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
349 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
350 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
351
3527.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
353 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
354 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
355 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
356 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
357 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
358 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
359 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
360 and much much more.
361 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
362 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
363 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
364 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
365 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
366 setuid/setgid.
367 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
368 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
369 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
370 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
371 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
372 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
373 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
374 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
375 compatible, and not really small either.
376 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
377 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
378 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
379 to crashes.
380 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
381 colours.
382 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
383 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
384
3856.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
386 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
387 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
388 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
389 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
390 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
391 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
392 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
393 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
394 by Mikachu).
395 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
396 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
397 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
398 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
399 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
400 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
401 - fix directory permissions on install.
402 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
403 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
404 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
405 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
406 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
407
4086.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
409 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
410 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
411 Chuck Blake.
412 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
413 obscure the mouse cursor position.
414 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
415 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
416 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
417 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
418 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
419 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
420 transfer efficiency.
421 - further minor cleanups.
422
4236.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
424 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
425 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
426 while the user still drags.
427 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
428 not drawn correctly.
429 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
430 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
431 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
432 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
433 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
434 stripping whitespace.
435 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
436 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
437
4386.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
439 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
440 - enable slow link support by default.
441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
442 (also a bug in original rxvt).
443 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
444 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
445 partial patch).
446 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
447 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
448 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
449 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
450 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
451 - implement -hold option.
452 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
453 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
454 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
455 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
456 - slight overall speed improvements.
457 - considerably improved code clarity.
458 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
459 buffer.
460
4615.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
462 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
463 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
464 (matters only for rxvtd).
465 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
466 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
467 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
468
4695.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
470 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
471 If you want the old behaviour, try:
472 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
473 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
474 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
475 percentage by 100-percentage.
476 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
477 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
478 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
479 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
480 windows.
481 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
482 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
483 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
484 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
485 - replaced INSTALL file.
486
4875.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
488 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
489 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
490 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
491 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
492 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
493 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
494 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
495 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
496
4975.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
498 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
499 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
500 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
501 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
502 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
503 Affects display in iso14755 box.
504 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
505 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
506 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
507 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
508 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
509 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
510 cutting pieces off of characters.
511 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
512 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
513 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
514 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
515 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
516 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
517 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
518
5195.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
520 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
521 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
522 meaning of the given key.
523 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
524 (patch by Martin Edlman).
525
5265.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
527 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
528 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
529 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
530 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
531 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
532 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
533 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
534 to disable it.
535
5365.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
537 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
538 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
539 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
540 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
541 with modifiers.
542 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
543 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
544 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
545 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
546 and clear the scrollback buffer.
