164.4 208.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
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 - rxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
25 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
26 missing DISPLAY.
27 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
28 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
29 - updated io_manager.
30
318.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
32 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
33 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
34 /usr/X11R6/lib.
35 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
36 patch by Sasha Vasko.
37 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
38 (patch by Philip Paeps).
39 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
40 (patch by Mikachu).
41 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
42 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
43 digit (exg).
44 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
45 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
46 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
47 extension (tpope).
48 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
49 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
50 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
51 problems.
52
538.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
54 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
55 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
56 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
57 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
58 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
59 (found by Aiviru).
60 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
61 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
62 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
63 case to work around for :/
64 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
65 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
66 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
67 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
68 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
69 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
70 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
71 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
72 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
73 Paskevich).
74 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
75 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
76 - update libptytty.
77 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
78 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
79 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
80 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
81 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
82 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
83 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
84 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
85 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
86
878.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
88 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
89 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
90 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
91 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
92 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
93 Reported by Takano Akio.
94 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
95 reported by exg.
96 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
97 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
98 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
99 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
100
1018.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
102 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
103 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
104 circumstances (reported by exg).
105 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
106 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
107 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
108 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
109 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
110 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
111 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
112 - update to libptytty-1.0.
113 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
114 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
115 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
116 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
117 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
118 bug #143985).
119 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
120 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
121 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
122 - manpage fix by exg.
123
1247.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
125 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
126 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
127 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
128 it does! :->
129 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
130 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
131
1327.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
133 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
134 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
135 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
136 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
137 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
138 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
139 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
140 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
141 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
142 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
143 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
144 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
145 uppercase character.
146 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
147 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
148 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
149 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
150 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
151 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
152 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
153 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
154 generic osc_seq.
155 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
156 were invoked recursively.
157 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
158 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
159 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
160 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
161 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
162 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
163 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
164 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
165 by omatunto_.
166 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
167 follow C++ closely enough.
168 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
169 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
170 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
171 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
172
1737.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
174 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
175 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
176 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
177 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
178 click, and eats the click.
179 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
180 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
181 refresh bugs please.
182 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
183 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
184 improve size hint setting.
185 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
186 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
187 to correctly position their preedit window.
188 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
189 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
190 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
191 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
192 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
193 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
194 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
195 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
196 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
197 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
198 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
199 (reported by Paco-Paco).
200 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
201 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
202 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
203
2047.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
205 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
206 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
207 resource value.
208 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
209 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
210 relevant tab window.
211 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
212 (initial patch by hednod).
213 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
214 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
215 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
216 the benefit of automove-background.
217 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
218 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
219 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
220 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
221 __linux__.
222 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
223 the colour components.
224 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
225 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
226 - more colour rtt optimisations.
227 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
228 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
229 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
230 - minor libptytty update.
231
2327.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
233 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
234 detection:
235 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
236 - overlap detection was improved.
237 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
238 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
239 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
240 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
241 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
242 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
243 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
244 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
245 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
246 broken.
247 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
248 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
249 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
250 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
251 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
252 (patch by Paco-Paco).
253 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
254 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
255 an "[alpha]" prefix.
256 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
257 transparent. Long Live Xft!
258 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
259 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
260 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
261 on a pseudocolor screen.
262 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
263 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
264 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
265 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
266 - small configure updates.
267 - further RTT optimisations.
268 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
269 the debian package.
270 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
271 but much newer than the old one.
272
2737.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
274 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
275 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
276 - small configure updates for libptytty.
277 - fixed version options: line output.
278 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
279
2807.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
281 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
282 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
283 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
284 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
285 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
286 selection extension.
287 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
288 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
289 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
290 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
291 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
292 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
293 needs the careful rendering mode.
294 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
295 too wide and needs careful mode.
296 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
297 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
298 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
299 atoms only once per display.
300 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
301 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
302 xterm.
303
3047.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
305 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
306 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
307 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
308 ctrl-shift-672c).
309 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
310 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
311 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
312 the primary screen.
313 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
314 could lead to an assertion failure.
315 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
316 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
317 via mouse clicks.
318 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
319 with shift - mouse button 2.
320 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
321 in non-synthetic events.
322 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
323 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
324 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
325 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
326 whole urxvt[d] process.
327 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
328 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
329 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
330 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
331
3327.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
333 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
334 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
335 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
336 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
337 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
338 special privileges.
339 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
340 itself.
341 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
342 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
343 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
344 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
345 similar stuff.
346 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
347 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
348 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
349 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
350 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
351 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
352 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
353 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
354 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
355 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
356 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
357 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
358 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
359 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
360 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
361 to set the window title.
362 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
363 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
364 at the wrong time.
365 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
366 anymore.
367 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
368 - nuked QNX support.
369 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
370 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
371 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
372 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
373
3747.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
375 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
376 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
377 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
378 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
379 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
380 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
381 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
382 and much much more.
383 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
384 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
385 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
386 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
387 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
388 setuid/setgid.
389 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
390 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
391 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
392 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
393 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
394 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
395 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
396 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
397 compatible, and not really small either.
398 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
399 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
400 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
401 to crashes.
402 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
403 colours.
404 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
405 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
406
4076.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
408 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
409 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
410 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
411 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
412 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
413 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
414 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
415 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
416 by Mikachu).
417 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
418 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
419 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
420 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
421 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
422 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
423 - fix directory permissions on install.
424 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
425 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
426 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
427 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
428 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
429
4306.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
431 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
432 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
433 Chuck Blake.
434 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
435 obscure the mouse cursor position.
436 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
437 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
438 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
439 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
440 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
441 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
442 transfer efficiency.
443 - further minor cleanups.
444
4456.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
446 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
447 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
448 while the user still drags.
449 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
450 not drawn correctly.
451 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
452 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
453 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
454 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
455 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
456 stripping whitespace.
457 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
458 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
459
4606.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
461 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
462 - enable slow link support by default.
463 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
464 (also a bug in original rxvt).
465 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
466 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
467 partial patch).
468 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
469 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
470 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
471 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
472 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
473 - implement -hold option.
474 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
475 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
476 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
477 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
478 - slight overall speed improvements.
479 - considerably improved code clarity.
480 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
481 buffer.
482
4835.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
484 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
485 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
486 (matters only for rxvtd).
487 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
488 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
489 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
490
4915.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
492 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
493 If you want the old behaviour, try:
494 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
495 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
496 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
497 percentage by 100-percentage.
498 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
499 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
500 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
501 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
502 windows.
503 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
504 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
505 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
506 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
507 - replaced INSTALL file.
508
5095.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
510 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
511 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
512 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
513 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
514 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
515 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
516 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
517 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
518
5195.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
520 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
521 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
522 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
523 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
524 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
525 Affects display in iso14755 box.
526 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
527 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
528 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
529 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
530 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
531 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
532 cutting pieces off of characters.
533 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
534 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
535 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
536 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
537 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
538 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
539 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
540
5415.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
542 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
543 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
544 meaning of the given key.
545 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
546 (patch by Martin Edlman).
547
5485.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
549 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
550 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
551 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
552 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
553 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
554 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
555 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
556 to disable it.
557
5585.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
559 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
560 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
561 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
562 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
563 with modifiers.
564 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
565 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
566 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
567 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
568 and clear the scrollback buffer.
569
5705.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
571 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
572 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
573 a command.
574 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
575 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
576 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
577 in Perl/Gtk2.
578 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
579 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
580 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
581 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
582 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
583 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
584 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
585 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
586 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
587 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
588 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
589 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
590 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
591 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
592 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
593 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
594 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
595 rxvt-unicode).
596 - get rid of the intpro files.
597
5985.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
599 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
600 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
601 (Kuang-che Wu).
602 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
603 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
604 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
605 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
606 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
607 along with other, similar, cleanups.
608 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
609 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
610 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
611 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
612 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
613 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
614
6155.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
616 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
617 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
618 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
619 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
620 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
621 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
622 his patience and time in tracking this down).
623 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
624 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
625 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
626 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
627 by Joël Riou).
628 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
629 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
630 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
631 - shaved off some code segment size.
632 - various code cleanups.
633 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
634
6354.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
636 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
637 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
638 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
639 -pixmap is active.
640 - new option/resource imFont.
641 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
642 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
643 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
644 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
645 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
646 (WU Fengguang).
647 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
648 examples (rxvt.1).
649 - removed src/test completely.
650 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
651
6524.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
653 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
654 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
655 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
656 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
657 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
658 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
659 resulting in segfaults.
660 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
661 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
662 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
663 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
664 (Mikael Magnusson).
665 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
666 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
667 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
668 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
669 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
670 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
671 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
672 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
673 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
674 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
675 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
676 - initialize the locale much earlier.
677 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
678
6794.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
680 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
681 black on initial startup.
682 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
683 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
684 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
685 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
686 additional multimedia keys.
687 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
688 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
689
6904.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
691 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
692 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
693 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
694 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
695 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
696 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
697 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
698 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
699 ignored.
700 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
701 instead.
702 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
703 (reported by hednod).
704 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
705 - fix atom name enumeration.
706
7074.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
708 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
709 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
710 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
711 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
712 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
713
7144.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
