1TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 2
3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
3TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
4TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
5WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
6WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
7WISH: searchable backlog 11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
8WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
9WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 14WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
11WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 15WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one

17WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
18WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
19DUMB: support tex fonts
20
21TODO: really enable libafterimage by default (6mb => 10mb rss without using it)?
22TODO: borderLess resource might not work on some systems - might be another
23 gentoo phantom bug or a real problem, such as using it too early.
24TODO: incremental reggex search should not nuke the selection, its evilish
258.
26 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
27 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
28 /usr/X11R6/lib.
29 - initial transparency improvement/afterstep support
30 patch by Sasha Vasko.
31 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
32 (patch by Philip Paeps).
33 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
34 (patch by Mikachu).
35 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
36 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
37 digit (exg).
38 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
39 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
40 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
41 extension (tpope).
42 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
43 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
44
458.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
46 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
47 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
48 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
49 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
50 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
51 (found by Aiviru).
52 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
53 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
54 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
55 case to work around for :/
56 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
57 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
58 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
59 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
60 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
61 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
62 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
63 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
64 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
65 Paskevich).
66 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
67 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
68 - update libptytty.
69 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
70 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
71 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
72 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
73 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
74 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
75 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
76 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
77 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
78
798.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
80 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
81 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
82 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
83 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
84 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
85 Reported by Takano Akio.
86 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
87 reported by exg.
88 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
89 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
90 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
91 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
92
938.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
94 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
95 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
96 circumstances (reported by exg).
97 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
98 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
99 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
100 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
101 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
102 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
103 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
104 - update to libptytty-1.0.
105 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
106 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
107 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
108 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
109 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
110 bug #143985).
111 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
112 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
113 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
114 - manpage fix by exg.
115
1167.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
117 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
118 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
119 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
120 it does! :->
121 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
122 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
123
1247.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
125 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
126 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
127 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
128 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
129 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
130 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
131 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
132 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
133 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
134 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
135 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
136 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
137 uppercase character.
138 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
139 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
140 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
141 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
142 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
143 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
144 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
145 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
146 generic osc_seq.
147 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
148 were invoked recursively.
149 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
150 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
151 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
152 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
153 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
154 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
155 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
156 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
157 by omatunto_.
158 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
159 follow C++ closely enough.
160 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
161 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
162 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
163 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
164
1657.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
166 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
167 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
168 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
169 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
170 click, and eats the click.
171 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
172 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
173 refresh bugs please.
174 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
175 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
176 improve size hint setting.
177 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
178 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
179 to correctly position their preedit window.
180 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
181 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
182 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
183 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
184 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
185 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
186 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
187 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
188 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
189 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
190 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
191 (reported by Paco-Paco).
192 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
193 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
194 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
195
1967.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
197 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
198 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
199 resource value.
200 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
201 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
202 relevant tab window.
203 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
204 (initial patch by hednod).
205 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
206 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
207 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
208 the benefit of automove-background.
209 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
210 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
211 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
212 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
213 __linux__.
214 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
215 the colour components.
216 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
217 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
218 - more colour rtt optimisations.
219 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
220 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
221 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
222 - minor libptytty update.
223
2247.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
225 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
226 detection:
227 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
228 - overlap detection was improved.
229 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
230 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
231 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
232 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
233 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
234 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
235 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
236 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
237 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
238 broken.
239 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
240 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
241 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
242 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
243 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
244 (patch by Paco-Paco).
245 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
246 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
247 an "[alpha]" prefix.
248 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
249 transparent. Long Live Xft!
250 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
251 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
252 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
253 on a pseudocolor screen.
254 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
255 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
256 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
257 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
258 - small configure updates.
259 - further RTT optimisations.
260 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
261 the debian package.
262 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
263 but much newer than the old one.
264
2657.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
266 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
267 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
268 - small configure updates for libptytty.
269 - fixed version options: line output.
270 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
271
2727.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
273 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
274 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
275 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
276 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
277 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
278 selection extension.
279 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
280 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
281 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
282 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
283 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
284 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
285 needs the careful rendering mode.
286 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
287 too wide and needs careful mode.
288 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
289 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
290 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
291 atoms only once per display.
292 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
293 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
294 xterm.
295
2967.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
297 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
298 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
299 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
300 ctrl-shift-672c).
301 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
302 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
303 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
304 the primary screen.
305 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
306 could lead to an assertion failure.
307 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
308 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
309 via mouse clicks.
310 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
311 with shift - mouse button 2.
312 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
313 in non-synthetic events.
314 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
315 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
316 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
317 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
318 whole urxvt[d] process.
319 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
320 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
321 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
322 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
323
3247.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
325 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
326 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
327 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
328 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
329 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
330 special privileges.
331 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
332 itself.
333 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
334 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
335 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
336 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
337 similar stuff.
338 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
339 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
340 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
341 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
342 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
343 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
344 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
345 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
346 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
347 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
348 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
349 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
350 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
351 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
352 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
353 to set the window title.
354 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
355 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
356 at the wrong time.
357 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
358 anymore.
359 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
360 - nuked QNX support.
361 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
362 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
363 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
364 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
365
3667.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
367 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
368 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
369 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
370 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
371 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
372 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
373 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
374 and much much more.
375 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
376 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
377 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
378 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
379 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
380 setuid/setgid.
381 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
382 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
383 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
384 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
385 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
386 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
387 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
388 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
389 compatible, and not really small either.
390 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
391 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
392 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
393 to crashes.
394 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
395 colours.
396 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
397 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
398
3996.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
400 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
401 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
402 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
403 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
404 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
405 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
406 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
407 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
408 by Mikachu).
409 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
410 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
411 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
412 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
413 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
414 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
415 - fix directory permissions on install.
416 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
417 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
418 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
419 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
420 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
421
4226.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
423 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
424 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
425 Chuck Blake.
426 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
427 obscure the mouse cursor position.
428 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
429 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
430 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
431 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
432 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
433 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
434 transfer efficiency.
435 - further minor cleanups.
436
4376.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
438 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
439 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
440 while the user still drags.
441 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
442 not drawn correctly.
443 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
444 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
445 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
446 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
447 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
448 stripping whitespace.
449 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
450 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
451
4526.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
453 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
454 - enable slow link support by default.
455 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
456 (also a bug in original rxvt).
457 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
458 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
459 partial patch).
460 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
461 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
462 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
463 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
464 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
465 - implement -hold option.
466 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
467 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
468 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
469 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
470 - slight overall speed improvements.
471 - considerably improved code clarity.
472 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
473 buffer.
474
4755.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
476 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
477 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
478 (matters only for rxvtd).
479 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
480 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
481 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
482
4835.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
484 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
485 If you want the old behaviour, try:
486 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
487 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
488 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
489 percentage by 100-percentage.
490 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
491 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
492 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
493 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
494 windows.
495 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
496 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
497 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
498 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
499 - replaced INSTALL file.
500
5015.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
502 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
503 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
504 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
505 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
506 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
507 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
508 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
509 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
510
5115.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
512 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
513 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
514 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
515 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
516 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
517 Affects display in iso14755 box.
518 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
519 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
520 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
521 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
522 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
523 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
524 cutting pieces off of characters.
525 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
526 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
527 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
528 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
529 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
530 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
531 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
532
5335.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
534 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
535 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
536 meaning of the given key.
537 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
538 (patch by Martin Edlman).
