Revision 1.394 by root, Fri Apr 22 02:09:39 2005 UTC

1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually 2TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
3xfree86's xterm). 3TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
4TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
5WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences.
6WISH: line-rewrapping on resize
7WISH: searchable backlog
8WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
9WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
11WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
12WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
4 13
5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 145.5
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 15 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
7TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 16 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
8TODO: tabbed windows 17 meaning of the given key.
18
195.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
20 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
21 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
22 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
23 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
24 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
25 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
26 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
27 to disble it.
28
295.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
30 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
31 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
32 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
33 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
34 with modifiers.
35 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
36 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
37 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
38 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
39 and clear the scrollback buffer.
40
415.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
42 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
43 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
44 a command.
45 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
46 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
47 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
48 in Perl/Gtk2.
49 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
50 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
51 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
52 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
53 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
54 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
55 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
56 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
57 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
58 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
59 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
60 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
61 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
62 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
63 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
64 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
65 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
66 rxvt-unicode).
67 - get rid of the intpro files.
68
695.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
70 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
71 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
72 (Kuang-che Wu).
73 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
74 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
75 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
76 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
77 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
78 along with other, similar, cleanups.
79 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
80 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
81 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
82 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
83 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
84 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
85
865.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
87 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
88 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
89 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
90 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
91 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
92 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
93 his patience and time in tracking this down).
94 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
95 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
96 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
97 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
98 by Joël Riou).
99 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
100 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
101 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
102 - shaved off some code segment size.
103 - various code cleanups.
104 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
105
1064.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
107 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
108 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
109 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
110 -pixmap is active.
111 - new option/resource imFont.
112 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
113 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
114 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
115 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
116 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
117 (WU Fengguang).
118 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
119 examples (rxvt.1).
120 - removed src/test completely.
121 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
122
1234.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
124 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
125 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
126 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
127 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
128 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
129 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
130 resulting in segfaults.
131 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
132 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
133 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
134 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
135 (Mikael Magnusson).
136 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
137 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
138 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
139 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
140 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
141 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
142 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
143 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
144 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
145 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
146 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
147 - initialize the locale much earlier.
148 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
149
1504.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
151 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
152 black on initial startup.
153 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
154 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
155 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
156 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
157 additional multimedia keys.
158 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
159 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
160
1614.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
162 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
163 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
164 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
165 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
166 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
167 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
168 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
169 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
170 ignored.
171 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
172 instead.
173 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
174 (reported by hednod).
175 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
176 - fix atom name enumeration.
177
1784.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
179 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
180 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
181 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
182 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
183 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
184
1854.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
186 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
187 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
188 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
189 titles etc.
190 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
191 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
192 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
193 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
194 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
195 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
196 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
197 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
198 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
199 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
200 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
201 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
202 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
203 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
204
2054.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
206 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
207 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
208 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
209 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
210 thoroughly.
211 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
212 now, too.
213
2144.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
215 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
216 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
217 on high-latency networks.
218 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
219 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
220 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
221 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
222 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
223 by Gunnar Ritter.
224 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
225 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
226
2274.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
228 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
229 -ssc/-ssr settings.
230 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
231 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
232 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
233 - add compile fix for darwin.
234 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
235 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
236 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
237
2384.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
239 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
240 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
241 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
242 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
243 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
244 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
245 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
246 ... terminated by a fix.
247 - new supported preeeditType "None".
248 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
249 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
250 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
251 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
252 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
253 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
254 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
255 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
256 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
257 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
258 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
259 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
260 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
261 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
262 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
263 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
264 in tracking this down.
265 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
266 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
267
2683.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
269 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
270 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
271
2723.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
273 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
274 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
275 installed if tic is available.
276 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
277 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
278 - removed README.unicode.
279 - support select&paste of tab characters.
280 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
281 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
282 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
283 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
284 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
285 screen updates with curses.
286 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
287 by spaces.
288 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
289 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
290 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
291 is just too slow for this to work.
292 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
293 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
294 implement. use --enable-styles.
295 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
296 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
297 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
298 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
299 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
300 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
301 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
302 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
303 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
304 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
305 (only for non-bold right now).
306 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
307 - better default font size and style.
308 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
309 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
310 single character against the base font extents and will only
311 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
312 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
313 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
314 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
315 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
316 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
317 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
318 screen height.
319 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
320 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
321 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
322 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
323 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
324 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
325 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
326 - removed OSC 702.
327 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
328 confused by it rather than using it.
