18 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
19 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
20 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
21 windows.
22
235.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
24 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
25 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
26 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
27 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
28 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
29 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
30 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
31 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt).
32
335.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
34 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
35 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
36 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
37 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
38 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
39 Affects display in iso14755 box.
40 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
41 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
42 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
43 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
44 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
45 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
46 cutting pieces off of characters.
47 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
48 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
49 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
50 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
51 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
52 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
53 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
54
555.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
56 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
57 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
58 meaning of the given key.
59 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
60 (patch by Martin Edlman).
61
625.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
63 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
64 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
65 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
66 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
67 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
68 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
69 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
70 to disble it.
71
725.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
73 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
74 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
75 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
76 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
77 with modifiers.
78 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
79 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
80 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
81 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
82 and clear the scrollback buffer.
83
845.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
85 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
86 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
87 a command.
88 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
89 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
90 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
91 in Perl/Gtk2.
92 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
93 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
94 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
95 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
96 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
97 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
98 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
99 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
100 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
101 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
102 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
103 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
104 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
105 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
106 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
107 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
108 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
109 rxvt-unicode).
110 - get rid of the intpro files.
111
1125.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
113 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
114 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
115 (Kuang-che Wu).
116 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
117 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
118 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
119 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
120 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
121 along with other, similar, cleanups.
122 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
123 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
124 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
125 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
126 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
127 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
128
1295.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
130 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
131 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
132 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
133 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
134 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
135 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
136 his patience and time in tracking this down).
137 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
138 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
139 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
140 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
141 by Joël Riou).
142 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
143 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
144 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
145 - shaved off some code segment size.
146 - various code cleanups.
147 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
148
1494.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
150 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
151 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
152 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
153 -pixmap is active.
154 - new option/resource imFont.
155 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
156 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
157 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
158 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
159 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
160 (WU Fengguang).
161 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
162 examples (rxvt.1).
163 - removed src/test completely.
164 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
165
1664.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
167 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
168 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
169 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
170 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
171 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
172 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
173 resulting in segfaults.
174 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
175 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
176 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
177 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
178 (Mikael Magnusson).
179 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
180 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
181 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
182 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
183 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
184 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
185 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
186 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
187 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
188 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
189 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
190 - initialize the locale much earlier.
191 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
192
1934.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
194 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
195 black on initial startup.
196 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
197 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
198 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
199 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
200 additional multimedia keys.
201 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
202 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
