15 | 5.6 |
| 6 | TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. |
16 | - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised |
| 7 | TODO: tabbed windows |
17 | every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected). |
| 8 | TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. |
18 | Reported by Jasmin Buchert. |
|
|
19 | - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently |
|
|
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 | - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character |
|
|
32 | at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu). |
|
|
33 | |
|
|
34 | 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005 |
|
|
35 | - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement |
|
|
36 | a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in |
|
|
37 | meaning of the given key. |
|
|
38 | - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite |
|
|
39 | (patch by Martin Edlman). |
|
|
40 | |
|
|
41 | 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005 |
|
|
42 | - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code. |
|
|
43 | this is necessary because it has no knowledge about |
|
|
44 | built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code |
|
|
45 | will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out. |
|
|
46 | - cursor blinking now depends on frills. |
|
|
47 | - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc). |
|
|
48 | - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay |
|
|
49 | to disble it. |
|
|
50 | |
|
|
51 | 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005 |
|
|
52 | - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long |
|
|
53 | escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by |
|
|
54 | Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team). |
|
|
55 | - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons |
|
|
56 | with modifiers. |
|
|
57 | - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties. |
|
|
58 | - properly update WM_LOCALE. |
|
|
59 | - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol. |
|
|
60 | - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view |
|
|
61 | and clear the scrollback buffer. |
|
|
62 | |
|
|
63 | 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005 |
|
|
64 | - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave |
|
|
65 | that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting |
|
|
66 | a command. |
|
|
67 | - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus. |
|
|
68 | - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk, |
|
|
69 | and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented |
|
|
70 | in Perl/Gtk2. |
|
|
71 | - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling |
|
|
72 | when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert. |
|
|
73 | (reported by Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
74 | - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt |
|
|
75 | (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for |
|
|
76 | pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd, |
|
|
77 | and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary. |
|
|
78 | - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using |
|
|
79 | line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess |
|
|
80 | with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically |
|
|
81 | needs to be US-ASCII all the time). |
|
|
82 | - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help |
|
|
83 | some apps who fail to set the correct mode. |
|
|
84 | - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to |
|
|
85 | not destroy the window for other types of messages. |
|
|
86 | - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is |
|
|
87 | of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed |
|
|
88 | rxvt-unicode). |
|
|
89 | - get rid of the intpro files. |
|
|
90 | |
|
|
91 | 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005 |
|
|
92 | - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one |
|
|
93 | for empty keymaps which could result in crashes |
|
|
94 | (Kuang-che Wu). |
|
|
95 | - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple |
|
|
96 | tk script to make a tab'able terminal now... |
|
|
97 | - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills). |
|
|
98 | - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow. |
|
|
99 | - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it, |
|
|
100 | along with other, similar, cleanups. |
|
|
101 | - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes. |
|
|
102 | - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
103 | - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more |
|
|
104 | compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts |
|
|
105 | match (reported by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
106 | - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible. |
|
|
107 | |
|
|
108 | 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005 |
|
|
109 | - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd. |
|
|
110 | - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt. |
|
|
111 | - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with |
|
|
112 | Xt, and document it in rxvt(1). |
|
|
113 | - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault, |
|
|
114 | and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for |
|
|
115 | his patience and time in tracking this down). |
|
|
116 | - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing, |
|
|
117 | most notably, don't remove double quotes. |
|
|
118 | - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas). |
|
|
119 | - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea |
|
|
120 | by Joël Riou). |
|
|
121 | - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only |
|
|
122 | available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary |
|
|
123 | and is surprisingly hard to implement. |
|
|
124 | - shaved off some code segment size. |
|
|
125 | - various code cleanups. |
|
|
126 | - more keysym-mapping fixes. |
|
|
127 | |
|
|
128 | 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005 |
|
|
129 | - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in |
|
|
130 | original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz). |
|
|
131 | - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when |
|
|
132 | -pixmap is active. |
|
|
133 | - new option/resource imFont. |
|
|
134 | - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw. |
|
|
135 | - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click. |
|
|
136 | - reordered help listing to group similar options together. |
|
|
137 | - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou). |
|
|
138 | - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch |
|
|
139 | (WU Fengguang). |
|
|
140 | - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym |
|
|
141 | examples (rxvt.1). |
|
|
142 | - removed src/test completely. |
|
|
143 | - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'. |
|
|
144 | |
|
|
145 | 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005 |
|
|
146 | - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard |
|
|
147 | highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape |
|
|
148 | sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1). |
|
|
149 | - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this |
|
|
150 | can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now. |
|
|
151 | - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display, |
|
|
152 | resulting in segfaults. |
|
|
153 | - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the |
|
|
154 | screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro). |
|
|
155 | - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions. |
|
|
156 | - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom |
|
|
157 | (Mikael Magnusson). |
|
|
158 | - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded, |
|
|
159 | and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a |
|
|
160 | font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and |
|
|
161 | tested by Olivier Wittenberg). |
|
|
162 | - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+). |
|
|
163 | - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris. |
|
|
164 | - autogenerate src/* dependency list. |
|
|
165 | - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent |
|
|
166 | on frills, not on it's own configure option). |
|
|
167 | - include pty.h, if available (cygwin). |
|
|
168 | - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway. |
|
|
169 | - initialize the locale much earlier. |
|
|
170 | - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks. |
|
|
171 | |
|
|
172 | 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004 |
|
|
173 | - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be |
|
|
174 | black on initial startup. |
|
|
175 | - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to |
|
|
176 | races in the protocol and within Xlib. |
|
|
177 | - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab. |
|
|
178 | - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as |
|
|
179 | additional multimedia keys. |
|
|
180 | - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with |
|
|
181 | implementations that store tag info in the high bits. |
|
|
182 | |
|
|
183 | 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004 |
|
|
184 | - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even |
|
|
185 | if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. |
|
|
186 | - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup |
|
|
187 | time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3 |
|
|
188 | turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). |
|
|
189 | - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. |
|
|
190 | - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child |
|
|
191 | process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets |
|
|
192 | ignored. |
|
|
193 | - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID |
|
|
194 | instead. |
|
|
195 | - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed |
|
|
196 | (reported by hednod). |
|
|
197 | - fix an unlikely memory leak. |
|
|
198 | - fix atom name enumeration. |
|
|
199 | |
|
|
200 | 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 |
|
|
201 | - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. |
|
|
202 | - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled |
|
|
203 | incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR |
|
|
204 | selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably |
|
|
205 | for large selections, but that seems unavoidable. |
|
|
206 | |
|
|
207 | 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 |
|
|
208 | - rewrote handling of default-char width. |
|
|
209 | - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING |
|
|
210 | for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window |
|
|
211 | titles etc. |
|
|
212 | - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. |
|
|
213 | - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). |
|
|
214 | - fixed a bug in the transparency code. |
|
|
215 | - upgraded iom.[Ch]. |
|
|
216 | - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update. |
|
|
217 | - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line, |
|
|
218 | which got partially overwritten by spaces. |
|
|
219 | - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling |
|
|
220 | and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented. |
|
|
221 | should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding |
|
|
222 | and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker |
|
|
223 | for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS. |
|
|
224 | - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton. |
|
|
225 | - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before. |
|
|
226 | |
|
|
227 | 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004 |
|
|
228 | - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch. |
|
|
229 | obviously in locales not having these characters they should |
|
|
230 | still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth. |
|
|
231 | Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them |
|
|
232 | thoroughly. |
|
|
233 | - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball |
|
|
234 | now, too. |
|
|
235 | |
|
|
236 | 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004 |
|
|
237 | - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu). |
|
|
238 | - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns |
|
|
239 | on high-latency networks. |
|
|
240 | - wide characters shift the correct number of characters |
|
|
241 | in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter. |
|
|
242 | - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva. |
|
|
243 | - make storage of tab movements as characters optional |
|
|
244 | on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request |
|
|
245 | by Gunnar Ritter. |
|
|
246 | - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored |
|
|
247 | or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva. |
|
|
248 | |
|
|
249 | 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004 |
|
|
250 | - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of |
|
|
251 | -ssc/-ssr settings. |
|
|
252 | - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other |
|
|
253 | programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected). |
|
|
254 | - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball. |
|
|
255 | - add compile fix for darwin. |
|
|
256 | - configure fix for transparency without tinting. |
|
|
257 | - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere. |
|
|
258 | - upgraded iom.[Ch]. |
|
|
259 | |
|
|
260 | 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004 |
|
|
261 | - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts. |
|
|
262 | - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam. |
|
|
263 | - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental. |
|
|
264 | - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C. |
|
|
265 | - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling. |
|
|
266 | - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating. |
|
|
267 | - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug". |
|
|
268 | ... terminated by a fix. |
|
|
269 | - new supported preeeditType "None". |
|
|
270 | - added FAQ about possible compose key problems. |
|
|
271 | - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion). |
|
|
272 | - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events |
|
|
273 | for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change |
|
|
274 | causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking) |
|
|
275 | (patch by Kuang-che Wu). |
|
|
276 | - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just |
|
|
277 | when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...). |
|
|
278 | - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly, |
|
|
279 | though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways). |
|
|
280 | - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ. |
|
|
281 | - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback. |
|
|
282 | - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods, |
|
|
283 | as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more |
|
|
284 | input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt |
|
|
285 | due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help |
|
|
286 | in tracking this down. |
|
|
287 | - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during |
|
|
288 | make install) with the correct program name and other info. |
|
|
289 | |
|
|
290 | 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004 |
|
|
291 | - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke |
|
|
292 | many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions. |
