|
|
72 | 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009 |
|
|
73 | - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char * |
|
|
74 | in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader. |
|
|
75 | - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters |

87 | - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being |
|
|
88 | recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/). |
|
|
89 | - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also, |
|
|
90 | try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name |
|
|
91 | (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/). |

92 | - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes |
|
|
93 | sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu). |

|
|
103 | namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even |
|
|
104 | though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world |
|
|
105 | in need of fixing. go figure. |
|
|
106 | - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten). |
|
|
107 | - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen |

|
108 | to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using |
|
|
109 | the new ->selection_screen method. |
|
|
110 | - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT |
|

|
|
117 | 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008 |
|
|
118 | - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap. |

123 | scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar). |
|
|
124 | - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts |
|
|
125 | when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar). |
|
|
126 | - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line |
|
|
127 | when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but |
|
|
128 | makes copy&paste work. |
|
|
129 | - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they |
|
|
130 | no longer apply. |
|
|
131 | - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out. |
|
|
132 | - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change. |
|
|
133 | - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa. |
|
|
134 | - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters. |
|
|
135 | - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
136 | - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path. |
|
|
137 | - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal |
|
|
138 | monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text. |
|
|
139 | - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking |
|
|
140 | the only known workaround. |
|
|
141 | - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt). |
|
|
142 | - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally, |
|
|
143 | to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks. |
|
|
144 | - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize |
|
|
145 | client windows on hint property updates by temporarily |
|
|
146 | disabling size hints. |
|
|
147 | - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init, |
|
|
148 | and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such |
|
|
149 | as mouse reporting. |
|
|
150 | - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in |
|
|
151 | tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts. |

152 | - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel |
|
|
153 | droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer. |
|
|
154 | - use current rendition style in DCH sequence. |
|
|
155 | - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset. |
|
|
156 | - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
157 | - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like. |
|
|
158 | - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing |
|
|
159 | overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves). |
|
|
160 | - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup |
|
|
161 | (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar). |
|
|
