2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually 2TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines
3xfree86's xterm). 3TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
4TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences.
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize
8WISH: searchable backlog
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
10WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
12WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
4 14
5TODO: hotkey font resizing 155.6
6TODO: +ssc -ssr seems to scroll at wrong time, scrolling up the empty sec. scr. 16 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
7TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 17 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
8TODO: tabbed windows 18 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
9TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 19 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
10TODO: OnTheSpot editing. 20 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
21 Affects display in iso14755 box.
22 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
23 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
24 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
25 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
26 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
27 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
28 cutting pieces off of characters.
29 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
30 fonts that will likely overshoot or underhsoot lines.
31
325.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
33 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
34 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
35 meaning of the given key.
36 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
37 (patch by Martin Edlman).
38
395.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
40 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
41 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
42 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
43 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
44 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
45 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
46 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
47 to disble it.
48
495.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
50 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
51 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
52 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
53 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
54 with modifiers.
55 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
56 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
57 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
58 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
59 and clear the scrollback buffer.
60
615.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
62 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
63 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
64 a command.
65 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
66 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
67 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
68 in Perl/Gtk2.
69 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
70 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
71 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
72 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
73 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
74 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
75 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
76 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
77 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
78 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
79 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
80 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
81 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
82 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
83 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
84 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
85 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
86 rxvt-unicode).
87 - get rid of the intpro files.
88
895.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
90 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
91 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
92 (Kuang-che Wu).
93 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
94 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
95 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
96 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
97 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
98 along with other, similar, cleanups.
99 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
100 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
101 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
102 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
103 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
104 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
105
1065.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
107 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
108 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
109 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
110 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
111 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
112 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
113 his patience and time in tracking this down).
114 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
115 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
116 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
117 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
118 by Joël Riou).
119 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
120 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
121 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
122 - shaved off some code segment size.
123 - various code cleanups.
124 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
125
1264.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
127 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
128 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
129 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
130 -pixmap is active.
131 - new option/resource imFont.
132 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
133 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
134 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
135 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
136 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
137 (WU Fengguang).
138 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
139 examples (rxvt.1).
140 - removed src/test completely.
141 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
142
1434.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
144 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
145 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
146 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
147 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
148 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
149 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
150 resulting in segfaults.
151 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
152 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
153 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
154 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
155 (Mikael Magnusson).
156 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
157 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
158 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
159 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
160 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
161 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
162 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
163 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
164 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
165 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
166 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
167 - initialize the locale much earlier.
168 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
169
1704.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
171 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
172 black on initial startup.
173 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
174 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
175 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
176 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
177 additional multimedia keys.
178 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
179 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
180
1814.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
182 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
183 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
184 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
185 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
186 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
187 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
188 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
189 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
190 ignored.
191 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
192 instead.
193 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
194 (reported by hednod).
195 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
196 - fix atom name enumeration.
197
1984.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
199 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
200 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
201 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
202 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
203 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
204
2054.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
206 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
207 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
208 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
209 titles etc.
210 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
211 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
212 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
213 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
214 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
215 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
216 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
217 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
218 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
219 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
220 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
221 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
222 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
223 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
224
2254.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
226 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
227 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
228 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
229 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
230 thoroughly.
231 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
232 now, too.
233
2344.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
235 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
236 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
237 on high-latency networks.
238 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
239 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
240 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
241 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
242 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
243 by Gunnar Ritter.
244 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
245 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
