Comparing rxvt-unicode/Changes (file contents):
Revision 1.74 by pcg, Sun Mar 14 17:51:31 2004 UTC vs.
Revision 1.301 by root, Wed Dec 15 03:54:53 2004 UTC

1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3xfree86's xterm).
4
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
7WISH: hotkey font resizing
8WISH: searchable backlog
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
10WISH: triple-click == select full output line
11WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
12WISH: OnTheSpot editing.
13WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
14
15 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
16 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
17 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
18 - fix atom name enumeration.
19 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
20 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
21 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
22 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
23 instead.
24 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
25 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
26 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
27 ignored.
28
294.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
30 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
31 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
32 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
33 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
34 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
35
364.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
37 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
38 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
39 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
40 titles etc.
41 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
42 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
43 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
44 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
45 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
46 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
47 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
48 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
49 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
50 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
51 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
52 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
53 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
54 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
55
564.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
57 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
58 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
59 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
60 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
61 thoroughly.
62 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
63 now, too.
64
654.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
66 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
67 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
68 on high-latency networks.
69 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
70 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
71 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
72 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
73 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
74 by Gunnar Ritter.
75 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
76 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
77
784.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
79 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
80 -ssc/-ssr settings.
81 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
82 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
83 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
84 - add compile fix for darwin.
85 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
86 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
87 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
88
894.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
90 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
91 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
92 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
93 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
94 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
95 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
96 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
97 ... terminated by a fix.
98 - new supported preeeditType "None".
99 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
100 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
101 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
102 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
103 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
104 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
105 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
106 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
107 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
108 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
109 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
110 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
111 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
112 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
113 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
114 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
115 in tracking this down.
116 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
117 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
118
1193.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
120 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
121 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
122
1233.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
124 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
125 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
126 installed if tic is available.
127 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
128 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
129 - removed README.unicode.
130 - support select&paste of tab characters.
131 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
132 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
133 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
134 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
135 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
136 screen updates with curses.
137 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
138 by spaces.
139 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
140 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
141 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
142 is just too slow for this to work.
143 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
144 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
145 implement. use --enable-styles.
146 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
147 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
148 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
149 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
150 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
151 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
152 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
153 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
154 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
155 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
156 (only for non-bold right now).
157 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
158 - better default font size and style.
159 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
160 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
161 single character against the base font extents and will only
162 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
163 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
164 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
165 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
166 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
167 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
168 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
169 screen height.
170 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
171 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
172 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
173 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
174 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
175 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
176 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
177 - removed OSC 702.
178 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
179 confused by it rather than using it.
180
1813.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
182 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
183 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
184 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
185 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
186 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
187 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
188 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
189 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
190 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
191 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
192 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
193 close).
194 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
195 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
196 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
197 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
198 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
199 could not be created.
200 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
201 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
202 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
203 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
204 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
205 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
206 works.
207 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
208 - document more escape sequences.
209 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
210 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
211 character is a sensible operation.
212 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
213 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
214 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
215 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
216 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
217 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
218 with selections).
219
2203.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
221 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
222 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
223 needs access to a local shell window).
224 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
225 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
226 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
227 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
228 a little window or so) would be welcome.
229 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
230 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
231 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
232 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
233 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
234 added there.
235 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
236 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
237 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
238 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
239 instead of being ignored.
240 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
241 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
242 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
243 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
244 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
245 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
246 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
247 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
248 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
249 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
250 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
251 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
252 needs testing anyways.
253 - more complete compile options help output.
254 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
255 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
256 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
257 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
258 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
259 - minor doc fix.
260
2613.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
262 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
263 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
264 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
265 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
266 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
267 memmove :)
268 - minor cleanups.
269 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
270 (debian bug #169415).
271 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
272 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
273 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
274 - updated config.guess.
275
2763.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
277 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
278 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
279 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
280 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
281 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
282 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
283 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
284 speeding up scrolling immensely.
285 - various other optimizations.
286 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
287
2883.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
289 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
290 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
291 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
292 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
293 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
294 Mikael Magnusson).
295 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
296 Mikael Magnusson).
297 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
298 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
299 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
300
3013.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
302 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
303 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
304 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
305 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
306 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
307 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
308 with ^V (SYN).
309 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
310
3113.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
312 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
313 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
314 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
315 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
316 well as with other terminal emulators.
317 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
318 (reported by elmex).
319 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
320 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
321 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
322 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
323 Bloch.
324
3253.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
326 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
327 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
328 sorry).
329 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
330 make it a little bit more correct c++).
331
3322.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
333 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
334 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
335 - minor i18n issue fixes.
336
3372.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
338 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
339 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
340 - fix some minor bugs.
341
3422.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
343 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
344 for the keymappings.
345 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
346 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
347 - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
348 extension and is slightly ugly.
349 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
350 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
351 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
352 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
353 - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
354 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
355 overwritten (as is common).
356 - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
357 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
358
3592.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
360 - minor doc corrections.
361 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
362 avoid clashes with xterm.
363 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
364 - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
365 colour when arg is "?".
366 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
367 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
368 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
369 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
370 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
371 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
372 (FRILLS).
373 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
374 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
375 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
376 - set _NET_WM_PID.
377
3782.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
379 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
380 - support more 8-bit controls.
381 - more informative error messages.
382 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
383 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
384 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
385 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
386 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
387
3882.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
389 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
390 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
391 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
392 - removed old selection style completely.
393 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
394 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
395 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
396 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
397 be used from within rxvt.
398 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
399
12.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004 4002.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
