155.6
16 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
17 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
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
345.5 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
415.4 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
515.3 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
635.2 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
915.1 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
1085.0 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
1284.9 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
1454.8 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
1724.7 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

16 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 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).
17 - fix an unlikely memory leak. 197 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
18 - fix atom name enumeration. 198 - fix atom name enumeration.
19 - streamline atom allocation to reduce network latency slightly.
