Affected are only + systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not + GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley). + - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations. + restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported + by Mikachu). + - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more + intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback, + menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option, + perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet. + - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent. + Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now. + - fix directory permissions on install. + - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters + and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack). + - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless + (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended + periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here. + +6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006 + - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink + selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by + Chuck Blake. + - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would + obscure the mouse cursor position. + - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly + returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc + on a few architectures).

This is + synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other + windows. + - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default + bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting. + - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov). + - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option. + - replaced INSTALL file. + +5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 + - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. + - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. + - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do + not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't + even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes). + - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines + could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra + refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt). + +5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005 + - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised + every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected). + Reported by Jasmin Buchert. + - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently + uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare). + Affects display in iso14755 box. + - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the + hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional + chars mixed with fixed-width ones. + - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially + overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws + more than required, but that's better than undershooting and + cutting pieces off of characters. + - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for + fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines. + - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character + at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu). + - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be + output in the next line (reported by Mikachu). + - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin. + +5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005 + - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement + a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in + meaning of the given key. + - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite + (patch by Martin Edlman). + +5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005 + - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code. + this is necessary because it has no knowledge about + built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code + will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out. + - cursor blinking now depends on frills. + - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc). + - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay + to disable it. + +5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005 + - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long + escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by + Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team). + - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons + with modifiers. + - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties. + - properly update WM_LOCALE. + - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol. + - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view + and clear the scrollback buffer. + +5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005 + - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave + that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting + a command. + - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus. + - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk, + and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented + in Perl/Gtk2. + - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling + when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert. + (reported by Mikael Magnusson). + - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt + (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for + pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd, + and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary. + - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using + line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess + with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically + needs to be US-ASCII all the time). + - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help + some apps who fail to set the correct mode. + - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to + not destroy the window for other types of messages. + - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is + of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed + rxvt-unicode). + - get rid of the intpro files. + +5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005 + - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one + for empty keymaps which could result in crashes + (Kuang-che Wu). + - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple + tk script to make a tab'able terminal now... + - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills). + - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow. + - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it, + along with other, similar, cleanups. + - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes. + - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco). + - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more + compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts + match (reported by Paco-Paco). + - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible. + +5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005 + - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd. + - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt. + - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with + Xt, and document it in rxvt(1). + - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault, + and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for + his patience and time in tracking this down). + - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing, + most notably, don't remove double quotes. + - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas). + - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea + by Joël Riou). + - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only + available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary + and is surprisingly hard to implement. + - shaved off some code segment size. + - various code cleanups. + - more keysym-mapping fixes. + +4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005 + - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in + original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz). + - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when + -pixmap is active. + - new option/resource imFont. + - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw. + - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click. + - reordered help listing to group similar options together. + - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou). + - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch + (WU Fengguang). + - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym + examples (rxvt.1). + - removed src/test completely. + - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'. + +4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005 + - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard + highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape + sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1). + - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this + can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now. + - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display, + resulting in segfaults. + - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the + screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro). + - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions. + - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom + (Mikael Magnusson). + - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded, + and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a + font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and + tested by Olivier Wittenberg). + - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+). + - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris. + - autogenerate src/* dependency list. + - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent + on frills, not on it's own configure option). + - include pty.h, if available (cygwin). + - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway. + - initialize the locale much earlier. + - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks. + +4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004 + - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be + black on initial startup. + - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to + races in the protocol and within Xlib. + - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab. + - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as + additional multimedia keys. + - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with + implementations that store tag info in the high bits. + +4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004 + - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even + if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. + - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup + time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3 + turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). + - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. + - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child + process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets + ignored. + - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID + instead. + - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed + (reported by hednod). + - fix an unlikely memory leak. + - fix atom name enumeration. + +4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 + - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. + - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled + incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR + selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably + for large selections, but that seems unavoidable. + +4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 + - rewrote handling of default-char width. + - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING + for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window + titles etc. + - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. + - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). + - fixed a bug in the transparency code. + - upgraded iom.[Ch]. + - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update. + - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line, + which got partially overwritten by spaces. + - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling + and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented. + should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding + and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker + for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS. + - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton. + - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before. + +4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004 + - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch. + obviously in locales not having these characters they should + still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth. + Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them + thoroughly. + - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball + now, too. 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004 - - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth - (forgot who reported this). - - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns - on high-latency networks. - - wide characters shift the correct number of characters - in insert mode now.
