1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2
3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
8WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
10WISH: make builtin character glyphs optional
11
12 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
13 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
14 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
15 too), and were not restored properly (same as xterm here).
16 Affected are only systems using non-unix ptys (such as most
17 BSDs, not GNU/Linux).
18 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
19 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
20 by Mikachu)
21 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
22 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
23 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
24 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
25 - fix directory permissions on install.
26 - improved sched_yield support.
27
286.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
29 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
30 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
31 Chuck Blake.
32 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
33 obscure the mouse cursor position.
34 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
35 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
36 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
37 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
38 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
39 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
40 transfer efficiency.
41 - further minor cleanups.
42
436.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
44 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
45 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
46 while the user still drags.
47 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
48 not drawn correctly.
49 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
50 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
51 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
52 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
53 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
54 stripping whitespace.
55 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
56 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
57
586.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
59 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
60 - enable slow link support by default.
61 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
62 (also a bug in original rxvt).
63 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
64 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
65 partial patch).
66 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
67 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
68 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
69 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
70 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
71 - implement -hold option.
72 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
73 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
74 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
75 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
76 - slight overall speed improvements.
77 - considerably improved code clarity.
78 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
79 buffer.
80
815.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
82 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
83 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
84 (matters only for rxvtd).
85 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
86 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
87 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
88
895.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
90 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
91 If you want the old behaviour, try:
92 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
93 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
94 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
95 percentage by 100-percentage.
96 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
97 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
98 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
99 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
100 windows.
101 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
102 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
103 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
104 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
105 - replaced INSTALL file.
106
1075.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
108 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
109 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
110 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
111 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
112 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
113 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
114 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
115 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
116
1175.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
118 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
119 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
120 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
121 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
122 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
123 Affects display in iso14755 box.
124 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
125 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
126 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
127 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
128 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
129 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
130 cutting pieces off of characters.
131 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
132 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
133 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
134 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
135 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
136 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
137 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
138
1395.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
140 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
141 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
142 meaning of the given key.
143 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
144 (patch by Martin Edlman).
145
1465.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
147 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
148 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
149 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
150 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
151 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
152 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
153 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
154 to disable it.
155
1565.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
157 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
158 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
159 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
160 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
161 with modifiers.
162 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
163 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
164 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
165 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
166 and clear the scrollback buffer.
167
1685.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
169 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
170 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
171 a command.
172 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
173 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
174 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
175 in Perl/Gtk2.
176 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
177 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
178 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
179 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
180 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
181 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
182 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
183 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
184 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
185 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
186 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
187 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
188 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
189 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
190 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
191 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
192 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
193 rxvt-unicode).
194 - get rid of the intpro files.
195
1965.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
197 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
198 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
199 (Kuang-che Wu).
200 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
201 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
202 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
203 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
204 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
205 along with other, similar, cleanups.
206 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
207 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
208 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
209 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
210 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
211 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
212
2135.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
214 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
215 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
216 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
217 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
218 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
219 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
220 his patience and time in tracking this down).
221 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
222 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
223 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
224 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
225 by Joël Riou).
226 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
227 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
228 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
229 - shaved off some code segment size.
230 - various code cleanups.
231 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
232
2334.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
234 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
235 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
236 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
237 -pixmap is active.
238 - new option/resource imFont.
239 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
240 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
241 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
242 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
243 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
244 (WU Fengguang).
245 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
246 examples (rxvt.1).
247 - removed src/test completely.
248 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
249
2504.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
251 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
252 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
253 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
254 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
255 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
256 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
257 resulting in segfaults.
258 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
259 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
260 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
261 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
262 (Mikael Magnusson).
263 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
264 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
265 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
266 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
267 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
268 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
269 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
270 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
271 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
272 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
273 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
274 - initialize the locale much earlier.
275 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
276
2774.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
278 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
279 black on initial startup.
280 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
281 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
282 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
283 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
284 additional multimedia keys.
285 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
286 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
287
2884.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
289 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
290 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
291 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
292 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
293 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
294 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
295 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
296 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
297 ignored.
298 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
299 instead.
300 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
301 (reported by hednod).
302 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
303 - fix atom name enumeration.
304
3054.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
306 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
307 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
308 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
309 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
310 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
311
3124.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
313 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
314 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
315 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
316 titles etc.
317 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
318 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
319 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
320 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
321 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
322 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
323 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
324 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
325 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
326 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
327 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
328 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
329 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
330 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
331
3324.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
333 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
334 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
335 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
336 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
337 thoroughly.
338 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
339 now, too.
340
3414.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
342 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
343 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
344 on high-latency networks.
345 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
346 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
347 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
348 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
349 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
350 by Gunnar Ritter.
351 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
352 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
353
3544.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
355 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
356 -ssc/-ssr settings.
357 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
358 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
359 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
360 - add compile fix for darwin.
361 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
362 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
363 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
364
3654.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
366 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
367 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
368 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
369 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
370 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
371 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
372 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
373 ... terminated by a fix.
374 - new supported preeeditType "None".
375 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
376 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
377 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
378 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
379 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
380 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
381 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
382 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
383 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
384 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
385 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
386 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
387 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
388 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
389 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
390 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
391 in tracking this down.
392 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
393 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
394
3953.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
396 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
397 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
398
3993.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
400 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
401 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
402 installed if tic is available.
403 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
404 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
405 - removed README.unicode.
406 - support select&paste of tab characters.
407 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
408 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
409 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
410 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
411 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
412 screen updates with curses.
413 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
414 by spaces.
415 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
416 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
417 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
418 is just too slow for this to work.
419 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
420 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
421 implement. use --enable-styles.
422 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
423 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
424 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
425 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
426 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
427 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
428 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
429 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
430 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
431 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
432 (only for non-bold right now).
433 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
434 - better default font size and style.
435 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
436 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
437 single character against the base font extents and will only
438 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
439 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
440 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
441 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
442 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
443 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
444 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
445 screen height.
446 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
447 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
448 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
449 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
450 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
451 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
452 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
453 - removed OSC 702.
454 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
455 confused by it rather than using it.
456
4573.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
458 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
459 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
460 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
461 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
462 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
463 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
464 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
465 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
466 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
467 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
468 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
469 close).
470 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
471 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
472 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
473 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
474 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
475 could not be created.
476 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
477 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
478 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
479 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
480 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
481 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
482 works.
483 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
484 - document more escape sequences.
485 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
486 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
487 character is a sensible operation.
488 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
489 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
490 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
491 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
492 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
493 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
494 with selections).
495
4963.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
497 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
498 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
499 needs access to a local shell window).
500 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
501 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
502 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
503 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
504 a little window or so) would be welcome.
505 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
506 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
507 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
508 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
509 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
510 added there.
511 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
512 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
513 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
514 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
515 instead of being ignored.
516 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
517 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
518 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
519 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
520 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
521 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
522 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
523 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
524 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
525 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
526 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
527 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
528 needs testing anyways.
529 - more complete compile options help output.
530 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
531 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
532 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
533 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
534 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
535 - minor doc fix.
536
5373.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
538 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
539 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
540 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
541 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
542 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
543 memmove :)
544 - minor cleanups.
545 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
546 (debian bug #169415).
547 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
548 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
549 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
550 - updated config.guess.
551
5523.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
553 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
554 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
555 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
556 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
557 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
558 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
559 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
560 speeding up scrolling immensely.
561 - various other optimizations.
562 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
563
5643.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
565 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
566 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
567 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
568 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
569 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
570 Mikael Magnusson).
571 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
572 Mikael Magnusson).
573 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
574 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
575 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
576
5773.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
578 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
579 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
580 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
581 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
582 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
583 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
584 with ^V (SYN).
585 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
586
5873.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
588 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
589 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
590 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
591 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
592 well as with other terminal emulators.
593 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
594 (reported by elmex).
595 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
596 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
597 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
598 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
599 Bloch.
600
6013.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
602 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
603 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
604 sorry).
605 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
606 make it a little bit more correct c++).
607
6082.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
609 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
610 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
611 - minor i18n issue fixes.
612
6132.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
614 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
615 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
616 - fix some minor bugs.
617
6182.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
619 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
620 for the keymappings.
621 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
622 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
623 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
624 an extension and is slightly ugly.
625 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
626 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
627 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
628 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
629 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
630 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
631 overwritten (as is common).
632 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
633 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
634
6352.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
636 - minor doc corrections.
637 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
638 avoid clashes with xterm.
639 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
640 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
641 window colour when arg is "?".
642 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
643 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
644 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
645 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
646 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
647 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
648 (FRILLS).
649 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
650 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
651 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
652 - set _NET_WM_PID.
653
6542.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
655 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
656 - support more 8-bit controls.
657 - more informative error messages.
658 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
659 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
660 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
661 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
662 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
663
6642.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
665 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
666 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
667 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
668 - removed old selection style completely.
669 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
670 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
671 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
672 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
673 be used from within rxvt.
674 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
675
6762.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
677 - code cleanup release.
678 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
679 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
680 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
681 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
682 all files.
683 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
684 --enable-xgetdefaults.
685
6862.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
687 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
688 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
689 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
690 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
691 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
692 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
693 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
694 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
695 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
696 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
697 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
698 --disable-xgetdefault.
699 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
700 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
701 unicode character.
702 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
703 get it wrong.
704 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
705
7062.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
707 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
708 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
709 settings.
710 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
711 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
712 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
713 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
714 mbrtowc.
715 - more robust encoding name matching.
716 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
717 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
718 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
719 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
720 resources and docs.
721 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
722
7232.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
724 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
725 - some doc cleanup
726 - configure cleanup
727 - viscii enabled by default
728 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
729
7301.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
731 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
