1 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2
3 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4 TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10 TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11 WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15 WISH: coloured pastebin
16 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18 DUMB: support tex fonts
19 TODO: decrqm http://ue.tst.eu/71d7dbd1fcfeaa7d2a4b96eb957d570c.txt
20 TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
21 TODO: command line editing when icanon?
22
23 TODO: resources section in manual talks bullshit about system-wide app-defaults file
24 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
25 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
26 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
27 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
28 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
29 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
30 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
31 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
33 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
34 with gcc.
35 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
36 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
37 - try to detect byte order at compile time, seems to work around weird linking
38 errors on freebsd (seems to have trouble with static member variables) - also
39 saves a couple of hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
40 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
41 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
43 - actually enabled solaris event ports backends (was disabled by accident).
44 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
45
46 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
47 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
48 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
49 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
51 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
52 failures with gcc 4.5.
53 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
54 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
55 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
56 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
57 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
58 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
59 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
60 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
61 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
62 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
63 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
64 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
65 and has fewer limitations.
66 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
67 startup for the upper left corner.
68 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
69 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
70 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
71 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
72 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
73 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
74 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
75 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
76 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
77 - fix build on XFree86.
78 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
79 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
80 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
81 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
82
83 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
84 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
85 - the bestest release ever.
86 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
87 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
91 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
92 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
94 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
96 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
97 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
98 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
99 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
100 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
101 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
102 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
103 characters other than first one in the selected cell
104 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
106 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
108 (found by Mikachu).
109 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
110 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
112 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
113 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
114 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
116 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
117 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
118 for 256 colours.
119 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
120 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
121 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
122 88*88 possible pairs.
123 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
124 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
125 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
126 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
127 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
128 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
129 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
130 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
131 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
132 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
133 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
134 backspacekey was given.
135 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
136 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
137 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
138 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
139 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
140 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
141
142 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
143 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
144 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
145 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
146 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
147 Mikachu).
148 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
149 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
150 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
151 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
152 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
153 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
154 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
155 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
156 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
157 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
158 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
159 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
160 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
161 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
162 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
163 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
164 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
165 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
166 - update to libptytty 1.3.
167 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
168 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
169 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
170 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
171 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
172 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
173 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
174 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
175 in need of fixing. go figure.
176 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
177 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
178 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
179 the new ->selection_screen method.
180 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
181 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
182 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
183 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
184 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
185 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
186
187 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
188 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
189 - updates libev to 3.48.
190 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
191 when a window was closed.
192 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
193 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
194 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
195 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
196 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
197 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
198 makes copy&paste work.
199 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
200 no longer apply.
201 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
202 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
203 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
204 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
205 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
206 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
207 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
208 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
209 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
210 the only known workaround.
211 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
212 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
213 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
214 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
215 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
216 disabling size hints.
217 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
218 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
219 as mouse reporting.
220 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
221 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
222 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
223 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
224 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
225 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
226 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
228 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
229 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
230 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
231 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
232
233 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
234 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
235 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
236 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
237 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
238 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
239 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
240 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
241 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
242 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
243 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
244 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
245 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
246 help working window managers as well.
247 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
248 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
249 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
250 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
251 from the toplevel window to the children.
252 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
253 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
254 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
255 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
256
257 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
258 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
259 - fix build with !xft.
260 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
261
262 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
263 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
264 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
265 received" problem, again :)
266 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
267
268 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
269 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
270 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
271 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
272 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
273 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
274 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
275 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
276 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
277 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
278 channels or background images are used.
279 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
280 till the first event arrives. or so.
281 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
282 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
283 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
284 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
285 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
286 resets the terminal.
287 - scrollbar code cleanups.
288 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
289 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
290 - updated to libev 3.0.
291
292 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
293 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
294 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
295 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
296 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
297 would not clear it visually in another.
298 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
299 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
300 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
301 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
302 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
303 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
304
305 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
306 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
307 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
308 effects.
309 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
310 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
311 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
312 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
313 text was visible.
314 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
315 some minor improvements.
316 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
317 display and not once per terminal window.
318 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
319
320 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
321 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
322 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
323 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
324
325 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
326 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
327 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
328 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
329 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
330 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
331 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
332 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
333
334 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
335 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
336
337 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
338 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
339 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
340 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
341 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
342 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
343 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
344 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
345 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
346 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
347 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
348 - parallel builds should work once more.
349
350 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
351 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
352 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
353 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
354 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
355 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
356 missing DISPLAY.
357 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
358 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
359 - updated io_manager.
360
361 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
362 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
363 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
364 /usr/X11R6/lib.
365 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
366 patch by Sasha Vasko.
367 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
368 (patch by Philip Paeps).
369 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
370 (patch by Mikachu).
371 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
372 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
373 digit (exg).
374 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
375 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
376 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
377 extension (tpope).
378 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
379 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
380 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
381 problems.
382
383 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
384 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
385 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
386 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
387 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
388 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
389 (found by Aiviru).
390 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
391 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
392 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
393 case to work around for :/
394 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
395 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
396 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
397 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
398 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
399 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
400 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
401 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
402 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
403 Paskevich).
404 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
405 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
406 - update libptytty.
407 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
408 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
409 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
410 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
411 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
412 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
413 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
414 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
415 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
416
417 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
418 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
419 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
420 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
421 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
422 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
423 Reported by Takano Akio.
424 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
425 reported by exg.
426 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
427 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
428 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
429 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.

431 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
432 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
433 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
434 circumstances (reported by exg).
435 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
436 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
437 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
438 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
439 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
440 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
441 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
442 - update to libptytty-1.0.
443 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
444 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
445 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
446 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
447 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
448 bug #143985).
449 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
450 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
451 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
452 - manpage fix by exg.
453
454 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
455 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
456 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
457 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
458 it does! :->
459 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
460 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
461
462 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
463 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
464 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
465 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
466 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
467 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
468 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
469 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
470 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
471 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
472 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
473 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
474 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
475 uppercase character.
476 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
477 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
478 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
479 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
480 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
481 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
482 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
483 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
484 generic osc_seq.
485 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
486 were invoked recursively.
487 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
488 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
489 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
490 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
491 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
492 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
493 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
494 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
495 by omatunto_.
496 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
497 follow C++ closely enough.
498 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
499 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
500 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
501 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
502
503 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
504 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
505 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
506 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
507 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
508 click, and eats the click.
509 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
510 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
511 refresh bugs please.
512 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
513 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
514 improve size hint setting.
515 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
516 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
517 to correctly position their preedit window.
518 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
519 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
520 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
521 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
522 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
523 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
524 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
525 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
526 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
527 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
528 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
529 (reported by Paco-Paco).
530 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
531 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
532 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
533
534 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
535 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
536 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
537 resource value.
538 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
539 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
540 relevant tab window.
541 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
542 (initial patch by hednod).
543 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
544 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
545 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
546 the benefit of automove-background.
547 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
548 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
549 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
550 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
551 __linux__.
552 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
553 the colour components.
554 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
555 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
556 - more colour rtt optimisations.
557 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
558 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
559 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
560 - minor libptytty update.
561
562 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
563 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
564 detection:
565 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
566 - overlap detection was improved.
567 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
568 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
569 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
570 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
571 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
572 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
573 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
574 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
575 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
576 broken.
577 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
578 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
579 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
580 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
581 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
582 (patch by Paco-Paco).
583 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
584 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
585 an "[alpha]" prefix.
586 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
587 transparent. Long Live Xft!
588 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
589 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
590 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
591 on a pseudocolor screen.
592 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
593 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
594 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
595 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
596 - small configure updates.
597 - further RTT optimisations.
598 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
599 the debian package.
600 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
601 but much newer than the old one.
602
603 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
604 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
605 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
606 - small configure updates for libptytty.
607 - fixed version options: line output.
608 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
609
610 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
611 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
612 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
613 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
614 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
615 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
616 selection extension.
617 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
618 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
619 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
620 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
621 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
622 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
623 needs the careful rendering mode.
624 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
625 too wide and needs careful mode.
626 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
627 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
628 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
629 atoms only once per display.
630 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
631 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
632 xterm.
633
634 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
635 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
636 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
637 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
638 ctrl-shift-672c).
639 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
640 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
641 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
642 the primary screen.
643 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
644 could lead to an assertion failure.
645 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
646 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
647 via mouse clicks.
648 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
649 with shift - mouse button 2.
650 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
651 in non-synthetic events.
652 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
653 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
654 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
655 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
656 whole urxvt[d] process.
657 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
658 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
659 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
660 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
661
662 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
663 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
664 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
665 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
666 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
667 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
668 special privileges.
669 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
670 itself.
671 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
672 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
673 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
674 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
675 similar stuff.
676 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
677 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
678 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
679 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
680 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
681 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
682 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
683 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
684 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
685 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
686 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
687 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
688 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
689 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
690 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
691 to set the window title.
692 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
693 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
694 at the wrong time.
695 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
696 anymore.
697 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
698 - nuked QNX support.
699 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
700 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
701 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
702 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
703
704 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
705 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
706 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
707 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
708 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
709 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
710 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
711 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
712 and much much more.
713 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
714 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
715 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
716 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
717 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
718 setuid/setgid.
719 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
720 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
721 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
722 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
723 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
724 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
725 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
726 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
727 compatible, and not really small either.
728 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
729 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
730 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
731 to crashes.
732 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
733 colours.
734 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
735 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
736
737 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
738 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
739 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
740 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
741 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
742 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
743 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
744 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
745 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
746 by Mikachu).
747 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
748 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
749 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
750 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
751 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
752 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
753 - fix directory permissions on install.
754 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
755 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
756 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
757 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
758 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
759
760 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
761 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
762 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
763 Chuck Blake.
764 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
765 obscure the mouse cursor position.
766 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
767 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
768 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
769 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
770 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
771 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
772 transfer efficiency.
773 - further minor cleanups.
774
775 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
776 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
777 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
778 while the user still drags.
779 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
780 not drawn correctly.
781 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
782 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
783 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
784 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
785 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
786 stripping whitespace.
787 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
788 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
789
790 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
791 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
792 - enable slow link support by default.
793 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
794 (also a bug in original rxvt).
795 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
796 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
797 partial patch).
798 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
799 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
800 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
801 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
802 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
803 - implement -hold option.
804 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
805 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
806 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
807 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
808 - slight overall speed improvements.
809 - considerably improved code clarity.
810 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
811 buffer.
812
813 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
814 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
815 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
816 (matters only for rxvtd).
817 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
818 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
819 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
820
821 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
822 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
823 If you want the old behaviour, try:
824 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
825 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
826 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
827 percentage by 100-percentage.
828 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
829 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
830 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
831 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
832 windows.
833 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
834 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
835 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
836 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
837 - replaced INSTALL file.
838
839 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
840 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
841 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
842 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
843 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
844 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
845 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
846 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
847 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
848
849 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
850 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
851 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
852 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
853 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
854 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
855 Affects display in iso14755 box.
856 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
857 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
858 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
859 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
860 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
861 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
862 cutting pieces off of characters.
863 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
864 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
865 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
866 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
867 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
868 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
869 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
870
871 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
872 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
873 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
874 meaning of the given key.
875 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
876 (patch by Martin Edlman).
877
878 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
879 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
880 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
881 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
882 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
883 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
884 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
885 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
886 to disable it.
887
888 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
889 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
890 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
891 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
892 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
893 with modifiers.
894 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
895 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
896 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
897 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
898 and clear the scrollback buffer.
899
900 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
901 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
902 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
903 a command.
904 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
905 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
906 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
907 in Perl/Gtk2.
908 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
909 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
910 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
911 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
912 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
913 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
914 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
915 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
916 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
917 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
918 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
919 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
920 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
921 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
922 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
923 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
924 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
925 rxvt-unicode).
926 - get rid of the intpro files.
927
928 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
929 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
930 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
931 (Kuang-che Wu).
932 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
933 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
934 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
935 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
936 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
937 along with other, similar, cleanups.
938 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
939 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
940 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
941 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
942 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
943 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
944
945 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
946 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
947 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
948 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
949 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
950 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
951 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
952 his patience and time in tracking this down).
953 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
954 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
955 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
956 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
957 by Joël Riou).
958 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
959 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
960 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
961 - shaved off some code segment size.
962 - various code cleanups.
963 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
964
965 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
966 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
967 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
968 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
969 -pixmap is active.
970 - new option/resource imFont.
971 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
972 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
973 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
974 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
975 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
976 (WU Fengguang).
977 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
978 examples (rxvt.1).
979 - removed src/test completely.
980 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
981
982 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
983 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
984 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
985 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
986 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
987 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
988 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
989 resulting in segfaults.
990 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
991 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
992 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
993 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
994 (Mikael Magnusson).
995 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
996 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
997 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
998 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
999 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1000 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1001 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1002 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1003 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1004 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1005 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1006 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1007 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1008
1009 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1010 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
1011 black on initial startup.
1012 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1013 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1014 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1015 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1016 additional multimedia keys.
1017 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1018 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1019
1020 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1021 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1022 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1023 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1024 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1025 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1026 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1027 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1028 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1029 ignored.
1030 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1031 instead.
1032 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1033 (reported by hednod).
1034 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1035 - fix atom name enumeration.
1036
1037 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1038 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1039 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1040 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1041 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1042 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1043
1044 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1045 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1046 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1047 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1048 titles etc.
1049 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1050 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1051 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1052 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1053 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1054 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1055 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1056 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1057 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1058 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1059 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1060 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1061 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1062 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1063
1064 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1065 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1066 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1067 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1068 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1069 thoroughly.
1070 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1071 now, too.
1072
1073 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1074 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1075 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1076 on high-latency networks.
1077 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1078 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1079 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1080 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1081 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1082 by Gunnar Ritter.
1083 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1084 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1085
1086 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1087 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1088 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1089 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1090 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1091 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1092 - add compile fix for darwin.
1093 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1094 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1095 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1096
1097 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1098 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1099 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1100 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1101 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1102 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1103 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1104 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1105 ... terminated by a fix.
1106 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1107 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1108 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1109 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1110 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1111 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1112 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1113 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1114 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1115 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1116 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1117 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1118 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1119 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1120 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1121 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1122 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1123 in tracking this down.
1124 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1125 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1126
1127 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1128 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1129 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1130
1131 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1132 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1133 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1134 installed if tic is available.
1135 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1136 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1137 - removed README.unicode.
1138 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1139 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1140 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1141 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1142 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1143 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1144 screen updates with curses.
1145 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1146 by spaces.
1147 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1148 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1149 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1150 is just too slow for this to work.
1151 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1152 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1153 implement. use --enable-styles.
1154 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1155 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1156 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1157 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1158 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1159 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1160 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1161 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1162 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1163 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1164 (only for non-bold right now).
1165 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1166 - better default font size and style.
1167 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1168 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1169 single character against the base font extents and will only
1170 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1171 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1172 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1173 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1174 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1175 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1176 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1177 screen height.
1178 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1179 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1180 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1181 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1182 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1183 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1184 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1185 - removed OSC 702.
1186 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1187 confused by it rather than using it.
1188
1189 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1190 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1191 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1192 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1193 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1194 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1195 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1196 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1197 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1198 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1199 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1200 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1201 close).
1202 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1203 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1204 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1205 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1206 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1207 could not be created.
1208 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1209 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1210 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1211 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1212 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1213 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1214 works.
1215 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1216 - document more escape sequences.
1217 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1218 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1219 character is a sensible operation.
1220 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1221 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1222 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1223 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1224 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1225 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1226 with selections).
1227
1228 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1229 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1230 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1231 needs access to a local shell window).
1232 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1233 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1234 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1235 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1236 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1237 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1238 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1239 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1240 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1241 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1242 added there.
1243 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1244 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1245 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1246 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1247 instead of being ignored.
1248 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1249 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1250 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1251 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1252 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1253 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1254 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1255 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1256 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1257 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1258 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1259 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1260 needs testing anyways.
1261 - more complete compile options help output.
1262 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1263 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1264 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1265 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1266 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1267 - minor doc fix.
1268
1269 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1270 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1271 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1272 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1273 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1274 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1275 memmove :)
1276 - minor cleanups.
1277 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1278 (debian bug #169415).
1279 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1280 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1281 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1282 - updated config.guess.
1283
1284 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1285 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1286 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1287 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1288 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1289 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1290 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1291 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1292 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1293 - various other optimizations.
1294 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1295
1296 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1297 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1298 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1299 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1300 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1301 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1302 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1303 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1304 Mikael Magnusson).
1305 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1306 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1307 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1308
1309 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1310 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1311 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1312 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1313 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1314 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1315 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1316 with ^V (SYN).
1317 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1318
1319 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1320 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1321 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1322 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1323 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1324 well as with other terminal emulators.
1325 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
1326 (reported by elmex).
1327 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1328 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1329 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1330 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1331 Bloch.
1332
1333 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1334 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1335 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1336 sorry).
1337 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1338 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1339
1340 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1341 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1342 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1343 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1344
1345 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1346 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1347 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1348 - fix some minor bugs.
1349
1350 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1351 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1352 for the keymappings.
1353 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1354 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1355 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1356 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1357 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1358 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1359 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1360 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1361 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1362 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1363 overwritten (as is common).
1364 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1365 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1366
1367 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1368 - minor doc corrections.
1369 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1370 avoid clashes with xterm.
1371 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1372 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1373 window colour when arg is "?".
1374 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1375 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1376 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1377 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1378 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1379 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1380 (FRILLS).
1381 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1382 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1383 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1384 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1385
1386 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1387 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1388 - support more 8-bit controls.
1389 - more informative error messages.
1390 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1391 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1392 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1393 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1394 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1395
1396 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1397 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1398 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1399 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1400 - removed old selection style completely.
1401 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1402 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1403 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1404 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1405 be used from within rxvt.
1406 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1407
1408 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1409 - code cleanup release.
1410 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1411 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1412 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1413 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1414 all files.
1415 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1416 --enable-xgetdefaults.
1417
1418 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1419 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1420 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1421 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1422 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1423 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1424 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1425 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1426 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1427 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1428 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1429 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1430 --disable-xgetdefault.
1431 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1432 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1433 unicode character.
1434 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1435 get it wrong.
1436 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1437
1438 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1439 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1440 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1441 settings.
1442 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1443 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1444 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1445 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1446 mbrtowc.
1447 - more robust encoding name matching.
1448 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1449 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1450 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1451 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1452 resources and docs.
1453 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1454
1455 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1456 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1457 - some doc cleanup
1458 - configure cleanup
1459 - viscii enabled by default
1460 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1461
1462 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1463 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1464
1465 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1466 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1467 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1468 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1469 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1470 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1471 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1472 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1473 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1474 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1475 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1476 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1477 reported by joel reed.
1478 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1479 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1480 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1481 being selected.
1482 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1483 - removed greek support.
1484 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1485 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1486 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1487 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1488 contributed.
1489 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1490 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1491 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1492 - many other minor bugfixes.
1493
1494 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1495 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1496 new bugs, this should not change much.
1497 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1498 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1499 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1500 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1501 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1502 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1503 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1504
1505 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1506 - further cleanups.
1507 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1508 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1509 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1510 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1511 please drop me a note.
1512
1513 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1514 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1515 - blinking text.
1516 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1517 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1518 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1519 was never implemented
1520
1521 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1522 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1523 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1524 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1525 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1526 reported by fefe
1527 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1528 Markus Demleitner
1529 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1530 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1531 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1532
1533 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1534 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1535 - small font tunings
1536 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1537 - better error reporting for unknown options
1538
1539 1.3 2003-12-26
1540 - fix a bug in font height selection
1541 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1542 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1543 - much faster x11 font selection
1544
1545 1.2 2003-12-24
1546 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1547 - better font matching
1548 - better memory management (less memory)
1549 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1550
1551 1.1 2003-12-18
1552 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1553 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1554 - much improved font choosing
1555
1556 1.0 2003-12-18
1557 - first release
1558 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1559 - removed rclock et al.
1560 - initial conversion to C++
1561
