Revision 1.608 by root, Mon Jan 30 02:21:20 2006 UTC

1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3xfree86's xterm).
4 2
5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 3TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 4TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7TODO: tabbed windows 5TODO: simplify selection_request and make it callable from perl.
8TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 6TODO: split perl documentation and urxvt.pm into separate files
7TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
10WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
11WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
12DUMB: support tex fonts
13
14 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
15 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
16 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
17 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
18 - small configure updates.
19 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
20 - support rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa, #argb, #aarrggbb and
21 #aaaarrrrggggbbbb (yes, it did hurt) colour "names".
22 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
23 transparent. Long Live Xft!
24 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
25 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
26 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
27 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
28 of rgb:rr/gg/bb.
29 - further RTT optimisations.
30
317.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
32 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
33 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
34 - small configure updates for libptytty.
35 - fixed version options: line output.
36 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
37
387.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
39 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
40 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
41 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
42 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
43 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
44 selection extension.
45 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
46 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
47 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
48 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
49 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
50 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
51 needs the careful rendering mode.
52 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
53 too wide and needs careful mode.
54 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
55 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
56 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
57 atoms only once per display.
58 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
59 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
60 xterm.
61
627.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
63 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
64 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
65 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
66 ctrl-shift-672c).
67 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
68 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
69 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
70 the primary screen.
71 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
72 could lead to an assertion failure.
73 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
74 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
75 via mouse clicks.
76 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
77 with shift - mouse button 2.
78 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
79 in non-synthetic events.
80 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
81 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
82 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
83 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
84 whole urxvt[d] process.
85 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
86 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
87 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
88 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
89
907.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
91 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
92 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
93 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
94 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
95 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
96 special privileges.
97 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
98 itself.
99 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
100 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
101 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
102 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
103 similar stuff.
104 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
105 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
106 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
107 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
108 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
109 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
110 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
111 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
112 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
113 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
114 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
115 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
116 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
117 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
119 to set the window title.
120 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
121 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
122 at the wrong time.
123 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
124 anymore.
125 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
126 - nuked QNX support.
127 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
128 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
129 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
130 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
131
1327.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
133 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
134 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
135 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
136 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
137 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
138 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
139 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
140 and much much more.
141 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
142 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
143 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
144 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
145 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
146 setuid/setgid.
147 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
148 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
149 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
150 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
151 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
152 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
153 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
154 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
155 compatible, and not really small either.
156 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
157 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
158 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
159 to crashes.
160 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
161 colours.
162 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
163 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
164
1656.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
166 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
167 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
168 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
169 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
170 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
171 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
172 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
173 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
174 by Mikachu).
175 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
176 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
177 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
178 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
179 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
180 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
181 - fix directory permissions on install.
182 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
183 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
184 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
185 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
186 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
187
1886.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
189 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
190 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
191 Chuck Blake.
192 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
193 obscure the mouse cursor position.
194 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
195 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
196 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
197 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
198 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
199 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
200 transfer efficiency.
201 - further minor cleanups.
202
2036.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
204 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
205 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
206 while the user still drags.
207 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
208 not drawn correctly.
209 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
210 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
211 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
212 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
213 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
214 stripping whitespace.
215 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
216 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
217
2186.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
219 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
220 - enable slow link support by default.
221 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
222 (also a bug in original rxvt).
223 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
224 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
225 partial patch).
226 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
227 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
228 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
229 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
230 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
231 - implement -hold option.
232 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
233 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
234 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
235 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
236 - slight overall speed improvements.
237 - considerably improved code clarity.
238 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
239 buffer.
240
2415.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
242 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
243 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
244 (matters only for rxvtd).
245 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
246 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
247 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
248
2495.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
250 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
251 If you want the old behaviour, try:
252 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
253 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
254 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
255 percentage by 100-percentage.
256 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
257 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
258 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
259 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
260 windows.
261 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
262 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
263 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
264 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
265 - replaced INSTALL file.
266
2675.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
268 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
269 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
270 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
271 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
272 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
273 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
274 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
275 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
276
2775.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
278 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
279 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
280 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
281 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
282 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
283 Affects display in iso14755 box.
284 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
285 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
286 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
287 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
288 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
289 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
290 cutting pieces off of characters.
291 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
292 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
293 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
294 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
295 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
296 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
297 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
298
2995.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
300 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
301 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
302 meaning of the given key.
303 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
304 (patch by Martin Edlman).
305
3065.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
307 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
308 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
309 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
310 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
311 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
312 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
313 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
314 to disable it.
315
3165.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
317 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
318 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
319 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
320 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
321 with modifiers.
322 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
323 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
324 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
325 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
326 and clear the scrollback buffer.
327
3285.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
329 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
330 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
331 a command.
332 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
333 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
334 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
335 in Perl/Gtk2.
336 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
337 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
338 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
339 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
340 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
341 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
342 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
343 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
344 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
345 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
346 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
347 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
348 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
349 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
350 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
351 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
352 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
353 rxvt-unicode).
354 - get rid of the intpro files.
355
3565.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
357 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
358 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
359 (Kuang-che Wu).
360 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
361 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
362 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
363 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
364 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
365 along with other, similar, cleanups.
366 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
367 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
368 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
369 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
370 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
371 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
372
3735.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
374 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
375 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
376 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
377 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
378 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
379 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
380 his patience and time in tracking this down).
381 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
382 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
383 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
384 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
385 by Joël Riou).
386 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
387 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
388 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
389 - shaved off some code segment size.
390 - various code cleanups.
391 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
392
3934.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
394 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
395 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
396 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
397 -pixmap is active.
398 - new option/resource imFont.
399 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
400 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
401 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
402 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
403 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
404 (WU Fengguang).
405 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
406 examples (rxvt.1).
407 - removed src/test completely.
408 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
409
4104.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
411 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
412 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
413 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
414 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
415 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
416 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
417 resulting in segfaults.
418 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
419 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
420 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
421 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
422 (Mikael Magnusson).
423 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
424 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
425 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
426 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
427 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
428 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
429 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
430 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
431 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
432 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
433 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
434 - initialize the locale much earlier.
435 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
436
4374.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
438 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
439 black on initial startup.
440 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
441 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
442 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
443 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
444 additional multimedia keys.
445 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
446 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
447
4484.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
449 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
450 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
451 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
452 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
453 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
454 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
455 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
456 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
457 ignored.
458 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
459 instead.
460 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
461 (reported by hednod).
462 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
463 - fix atom name enumeration.
464
4654.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
466 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
467 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
468 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
469 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
470 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
471
4724.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
473 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
474 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
475 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
476 titles etc.
477 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
478 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
479 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
480 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
481 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
482 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
483 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
484 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
485 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
486 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
487 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
488 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
489 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
490 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
491
4924.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
493 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
494 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
495 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
496 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
497 thoroughly.
498 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
499 now, too.
500
5014.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
502 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
503 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
504 on high-latency networks.
505 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
506 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
507 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
508 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
509 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
510 by Gunnar Ritter.
511 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
512 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
513
5144.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
515 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
516 -ssc/-ssr settings.
517 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
518 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
519 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
520 - add compile fix for darwin.
521 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
522 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
523 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
524
5254.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
526 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
527 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
528 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
529 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
530 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
531 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
532 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
533 ... terminated by a fix.
534 - new supported preeeditType "None".
535 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
536 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
537 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
538 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
539 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
540 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
541 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
542 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
543 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
544 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
545 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
546 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
547 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
548 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
549 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
550 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
551 in tracking this down.
552 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
553 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
554
5553.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
556 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
557 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
