2TODO: manpage 900mb update 2
3TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.

5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
8WISH: searchable backlog 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.

18WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
19DUMB: support tex fonts
14 20
21 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
22 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
23 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
24
258.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
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/afterimage 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 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
45 problems.
46
478.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
48 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
49 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
50 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
51 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
52 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
53 (found by Aiviru).
54 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
55 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
56 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
57 case to work around for :/
58 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
59 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
60 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
61 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
62 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
63 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
64 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
65 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
66 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
67 Paskevich).
68 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
69 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
70 - update libptytty.
71 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
72 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
73 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
74 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
75 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
76 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
77 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
78 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
79 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
80
818.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
82 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
83 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
84 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
85 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
86 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
87 Reported by Takano Akio.
88 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
89 reported by exg.
90 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
91 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
92 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
93 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
94
958.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
96 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
97 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
98 circumstances (reported by exg).
99 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
100 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
101 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
102 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
103 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
104 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
105 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
106 - update to libptytty-1.0.
107 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
108 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
109 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
110 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
111 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
112 bug #143985).
113 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
114 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
115 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
116 - manpage fix by exg.
117
1187.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
119 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
120 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
121 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
122 it does! :->
123 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
124 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
125
1267.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
127 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
128 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
129 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
130 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
131 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
132 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
133 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
134 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
135 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
136 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
137 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
138 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
139 uppercase character.
140 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
141 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
142 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
143 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
144 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
145 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
146 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
147 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
148 generic osc_seq.
149 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
150 were invoked recursively.
151 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
152 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
153 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
154 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
155 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
156 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
157 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
158 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
159 by omatunto_.
160 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
161 follow C++ closely enough.
162 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
163 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
164 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
165 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
166
1677.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
168 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
169 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
170 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
171 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
172 click, and eats the click.
173 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
174 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
175 refresh bugs please.
176 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
177 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
178 improve size hint setting.
179 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
180 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
181 to correctly position their preedit window.
182 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
183 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
184 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
185 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
186 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
187 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
188 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
189 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
190 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
191 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
192 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
193 (reported by Paco-Paco).
194 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
195 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
196 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
197
1987.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
199 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
200 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
201 resource value.
202 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
203 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
204 relevant tab window.
205 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
206 (initial patch by hednod).
207 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
208 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
209 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
210 the benefit of automove-background.
211 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
212 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
213 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
214 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
215 __linux__.
216 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
217 the colour components.
218 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
219 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
220 - more colour rtt optimisations.
221 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
222 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
223 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
224 - minor libptytty update.
225
2267.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
227 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
228 detection:
229 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
230 - overlap detection was improved.
231 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
232 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
233 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
234 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
235 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
236 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
237 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
238 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
239 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
240 broken.
241 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
242 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
243 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
244 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
245 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
246 (patch by Paco-Paco).
247 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
248 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
249 an "[alpha]" prefix.
250 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
251 transparent. Long Live Xft!
252 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
253 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
254 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
255 on a pseudocolor screen.
256 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
257 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
258 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
259 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
260 - small configure updates.
261 - further RTT optimisations.
262 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
263 the debian package.
264 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
265 but much newer than the old one.
266
2677.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
268 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
269 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
270 - small configure updates for libptytty.
271 - fixed version options: line output.
272 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
273
2747.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
275 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
276 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
277 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
278 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
279 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
280 selection extension.
281 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
282 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
283 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
284 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
285 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
286 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
287 needs the careful rendering mode.
288 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
289 too wide and needs careful mode.
290 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
291 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
292 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
293 atoms only once per display.
294 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
295 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
296 xterm.
297
2987.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
299 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
300 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
301 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
302 ctrl-shift-672c).
303 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
304 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
305 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
306 the primary screen.
307 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
308 could lead to an assertion failure.
309 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
310 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
311 via mouse clicks.
312 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
313 with shift - mouse button 2.
314 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
315 in non-synthetic events.
316 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
317 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
318 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
319 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
320 whole urxvt[d] process.
321 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
322 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
323 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
324 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
325
3267.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
327 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
328 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
329 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
330 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
331 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
332 special privileges.
333 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
334 itself.
335 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
336 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
337 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
338 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
339 similar stuff.
340 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
341 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
342 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
343 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
344 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
345 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
346 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
347 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
348 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
349 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
350 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
351 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
352 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
353 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
354 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
355 to set the window title.
356 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
357 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
358 at the wrong time.
359 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
360 anymore.
361 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
362 - nuked QNX support.
363 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
364 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
365 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
366 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
367
3687.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
369 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
370 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
371 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
372 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
373 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
374 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
375 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
376 and much much more.
377 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
378 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
379 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
380 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
381 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
382 setuid/setgid.
383 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
384 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
385 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
386 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
387 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
388 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
389 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
390 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
391 compatible, and not really small either.
392 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
393 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
394 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
395 to crashes.
396 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
397 colours.
398 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
399 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
400
4016.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
402 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
403 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
404 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
405 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
406 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
407 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
408 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
409 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
410 by Mikachu).
411 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
412 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
413 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
414 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
415 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
416 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
417 - fix directory permissions on install.
418 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
419 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
420 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
421 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
422 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
423
4246.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
425 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
426 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
427 Chuck Blake.
428 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
429 obscure the mouse cursor position.
430 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
431 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
432 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
433 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
434 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
435 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
436 transfer efficiency.
437 - further minor cleanups.
438
4396.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
440 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
441 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
442 while the user still drags.
443 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
444 not drawn correctly.
445 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
446 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
447 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
448 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
449 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
450 stripping whitespace.
451 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
452 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
453
4546.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
455 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
456 - enable slow link support by default.
457 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
458 (also a bug in original rxvt).
459 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
460 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
461 partial patch).
462 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
463 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
464 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
465 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
466 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
467 - implement -hold option.
468 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
469 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
470 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
471 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
472 - slight overall speed improvements.
473 - considerably improved code clarity.
474 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
475 buffer.
476
4775.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
478 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
479 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
480 (matters only for rxvtd).
481 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
482 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
483 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
484
4855.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
486 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
487 If you want the old behaviour, try:
488 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
489 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
490 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
491 percentage by 100-percentage.
492 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
493 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
494 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
495 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
496 windows.
497 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
498 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
499 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
500 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
501 - replaced INSTALL file.
502
5035.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
504 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
505 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
506 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
507 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
508 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
509 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
510 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
511 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
512
5135.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
514 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
515 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
516 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
517 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
518 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
519 Affects display in iso14755 box.
520 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
521 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
522 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
523 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
524 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
525 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
526 cutting pieces off of characters.
527 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
528 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
529 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
530 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
531 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
532 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
533 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
534
5355.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
536 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
537 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
538 meaning of the given key.
539 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
540 (patch by Martin Edlman).
541
5425.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
543 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
544 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
545 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
546 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
547 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
548 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
549 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
550 to disable it.
551
5525.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
553 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
554 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
555 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
556 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
557 with modifiers.
15 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties. 558 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
16 - properly update WM_LOCALE. 559 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
560 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
561 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
562 and clear the scrollback buffer.
