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 typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
37 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
38 - try to detect byte order at compile time, seems to work around weird linking
39 errors on freebsd (seems to have trouble with static member variables) - also
40 saves a couple of hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
41 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
42 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
44 - actually enabled solaris event ports backends (was disabled by accident).
45 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
46
47 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
48 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
50 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
52 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
53 failures with gcc 4.5.
54 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
55 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
56 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
57 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
58 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
59 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
60 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
61 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
62 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
63 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
64 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
65 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
66 and has fewer limitations.
67 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
68 startup for the upper left corner.
69 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
70 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
71 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
72 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
73 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
74 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
75 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
76 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
77 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 - fix build on XFree86.
79 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
80 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
81 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
82 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
83
84 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
85 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
86 - the bestest release ever.
87 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
88 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
91 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
92 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
95 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
97 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
98 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
99 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
100 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
101 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
102 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
103 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
104 characters other than first one in the selected cell
105 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
107 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
109 (found by Mikachu).
110 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
111 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
113 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
115 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
117 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
119 for 256 colours.
120 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
121 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
122 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
123 88*88 possible pairs.
124 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
125 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
126 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
127 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
129 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
130 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
131 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
132 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
133 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
134 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
135 backspacekey was given.
136 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
137 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
138 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
139 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
140 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
141 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
142
143 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
144 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
145 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
146 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
147 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
148 Mikachu).
149 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
150 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
151 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
152 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
153 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
154 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
155 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
156 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
157 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
158 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
159 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
160 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
161 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
162 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
163 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
164 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
165 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
166 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
167 - update to libptytty 1.3.
168 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
169 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
170 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
171 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
172 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
173 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
174 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
175 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
176 in need of fixing. go figure.
177 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
178 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
179 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
180 the new ->selection_screen method.
181 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
182 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
183 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
184 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
185 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
186 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
187
188 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
189 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
190 - updates libev to 3.48.
191 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
192 when a window was closed.
193 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
194 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
195 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
196 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
197 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
198 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
199 makes copy&paste work.
200 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
201 no longer apply.
202 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
203 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
204 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
205 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
206 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
207 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
208 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
209 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
210 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
211 the only known workaround.
212 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
213 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
214 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
215 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
216 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
217 disabling size hints.
218 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
219 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
220 as mouse reporting.
221 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
222 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
223 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
224 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
225 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
226 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
227 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
228 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
229 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
230 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
231 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
232 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
233
234 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
235 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
236 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
237 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
238 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
239 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
240 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
241 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
242 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
243 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
244 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
245 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
246 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
247 help working window managers as well.
248 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
249 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
250 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
251 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
252 from the toplevel window to the children.
253 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
254 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
255 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
256 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
257
258 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
259 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
260 - fix build with !xft.
261 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
262
263 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
264 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
265 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
266 received" problem, again :)
267 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
268
269 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
270 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
271 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
272 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
273 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
274 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
275 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
276 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
277 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
278 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
279 channels or background images are used.
280 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
281 till the first event arrives. or so.
282 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
283 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
284 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
285 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
286 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
287 resets the terminal.
288 - scrollbar code cleanups.
289 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
290 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
291 - updated to libev 3.0.
292
293 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
294 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
295 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
296 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
297 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
298 would not clear it visually in another.
299 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
300 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
301 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
302 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
303 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
304 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
305
306 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
307 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
308 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
309 effects.
310 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
311 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
312 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
313 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
314 text was visible.
315 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
316 some minor improvements.
317 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
318 display and not once per terminal window.
319 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
320
321 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
322 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
323 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
324 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
325
326 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
327 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
328 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
329 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
330 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
331 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
332 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
333 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
334
335 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
336 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
337
338 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
339 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
340 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
341 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
342 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
343 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
344 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
345 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
346 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
347 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
348 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
349 - parallel builds should work once more.
350
351 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
352 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
353 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
354 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
355 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
356 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
357 missing DISPLAY.
358 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
359 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
360 - updated io_manager.
361
362 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
363 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
364 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
365 /usr/X11R6/lib.
366 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
367 patch by Sasha Vasko.
368 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
369 (patch by Philip Paeps).
370 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
371 (patch by Mikachu).
372 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
373 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
374 digit (exg).
375 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
376 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
377 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
378 extension (tpope).
379 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
380 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
381 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
382 problems.
383
384 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
385 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
386 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
387 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
388 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
389 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
390 (found by Aiviru).
391 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
392 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
393 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
394 case to work around for :/
395 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
396 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
397 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
398 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
399 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
400 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
401 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
402 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
403 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
404 Paskevich).
405 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
406 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
407 - update libptytty.
408 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
409 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
410 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
411 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
412 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
413 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
414 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
415 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
416 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
417
418 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
419 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
420 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
421 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
422 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
423 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
424 Reported by Takano Akio.
425 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
426 reported by exg.
427 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
428 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
429 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
430 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.

432 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
433 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
434 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
435 circumstances (reported by exg).
436 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
437 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
438 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
439 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
440 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
441 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
442 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
443 - update to libptytty-1.0.
444 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
445 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
446 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
447 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
448 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
449 bug #143985).
450 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
451 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
452 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
453 - manpage fix by exg.
454
455 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
456 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
457 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
458 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
459 it does! :->
460 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
461 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
462
463 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
464 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
465 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
466 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
467 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
468 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
469 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
470 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
471 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
472 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
473 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
474 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
475 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
476 uppercase character.
477 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
478 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
479 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
480 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
481 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
482 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
483 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
484 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
485 generic osc_seq.
486 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
487 were invoked recursively.
488 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
489 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
490 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
491 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
492 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
493 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
494 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
495 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
496 by omatunto_.
497 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
498 follow C++ closely enough.
499 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
500 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
501 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
502 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
503
504 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
505 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
506 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
507 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
508 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
509 click, and eats the click.
510 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
511 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
512 refresh bugs please.
513 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
514 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
515 improve size hint setting.
516 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
517 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
518 to correctly position their preedit window.
519 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
520 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
521 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
522 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
523 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
524 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
525 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
526 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
527 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
528 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
529 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
530 (reported by Paco-Paco).
531 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
532 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
533 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
534
535 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
536 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
537 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
538 resource value.
539 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
540 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
541 relevant tab window.
542 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
543 (initial patch by hednod).
544 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
545 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
546 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
547 the benefit of automove-background.
548 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
549 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
550 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
551 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
552 __linux__.
553 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
554 the colour components.
555 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
556 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
557 - more colour rtt optimisations.
558 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
559 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
560 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
561 - minor libptytty update.
562
563 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
564 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
565 detection:
566 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
567 - overlap detection was improved.
568 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
569 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
570 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
571 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
572 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
573 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
574 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
575 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
576 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
577 broken.
578 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
579 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
580 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
581 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
582 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
583 (patch by Paco-Paco).
584 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
585 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
586 an "[alpha]" prefix.
587 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
588 transparent. Long Live Xft!
589 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
590 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
591 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
592 on a pseudocolor screen.
593 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
594 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
595 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
596 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
597 - small configure updates.
598 - further RTT optimisations.
599 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
600 the debian package.
601 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
602 but much newer than the old one.
603
604 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
605 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
606 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
607 - small configure updates for libptytty.
608 - fixed version options: line output.
609 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
610
611 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
612 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
613 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
614 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
615 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
616 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
617 selection extension.
618 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
619 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
620 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
621 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
622 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
623 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
624 needs the careful rendering mode.
625 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
626 too wide and needs careful mode.
627 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
628 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
629 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
630 atoms only once per display.
631 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
632 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
633 xterm.
634
635 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
636 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
637 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
638 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
639 ctrl-shift-672c).
640 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
641 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
642 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
643 the primary screen.
644 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
645 could lead to an assertion failure.
646 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
647 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
648 via mouse clicks.
649 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
650 with shift - mouse button 2.
651 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
652 in non-synthetic events.
653 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
654 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
655 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
656 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
657 whole urxvt[d] process.
658 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
659 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
660 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
661 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
662
663 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
664 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
665 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
666 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
667 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
668 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
669 special privileges.
670 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
671 itself.
672 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
673 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
674 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
675 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
676 similar stuff.
677 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
678 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
679 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
680 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
681 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
682 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
683 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
684 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
685 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
686 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
687 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
688 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
689 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
690 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
691 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
692 to set the window title.
693 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
694 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
695 at the wrong time.
696 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
697 anymore.
698 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
699 - nuked QNX support.
700 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
701 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
702 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
703 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
704
705 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
706 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
707 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
708 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
709 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
710 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
711 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
712 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
713 and much much more.
714 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
715 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
716 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
717 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
718 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
719 setuid/setgid.
720 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
721 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
722 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
723 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
724 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
725 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
726 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
727 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
728 compatible, and not really small either.
729 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
730 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
731 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
732 to crashes.
733 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
734 colours.
735 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
736 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
737
738 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
739 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
740 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
741 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
742 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
743 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
744 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
745 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
746 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
747 by Mikachu).
748 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
749 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
750 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
751 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
752 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
753 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
754 - fix directory permissions on install.
755 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
756 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
757 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
758 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
759 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
760
761 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
762 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
763 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
764 Chuck Blake.
765 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
766 obscure the mouse cursor position.
767 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
768 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
769 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
770 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
771 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
772 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
773 transfer efficiency.
774 - further minor cleanups.
775
776 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
777 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
778 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
779 while the user still drags.
780 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
781 not drawn correctly.
782 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
783 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
784 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
785 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
786 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
787 stripping whitespace.
788 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
789 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
790
791 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
792 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
793 - enable slow link support by default.
794 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
795 (also a bug in original rxvt).
796 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
797 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
798 partial patch).
799 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
800 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
801 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
802 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
803 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
804 - implement -hold option.
805 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
806 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
807 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
808 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
809 - slight overall speed improvements.
810 - considerably improved code clarity.
811 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
812 buffer.
813
814 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
815 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
816 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
817 (matters only for rxvtd).
818 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
819 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
820 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
821
822 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
823 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
824 If you want the old behaviour, try:
825 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
826 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
827 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
828 percentage by 100-percentage.
829 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
830 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
831 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
832 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
833 windows.
834 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
835 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
836 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
837 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
838 - replaced INSTALL file.
839
840 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
841 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
842 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
843 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
844 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
845 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
846 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
847 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
848 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
849
850 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
851 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
852 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
853 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
854 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
855 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
856 Affects display in iso14755 box.
857 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
858 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
859 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
860 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
861 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
862 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
863 cutting pieces off of characters.
864 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
865 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
866 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
867 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
868 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
869 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
870 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
871
872 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
873 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
874 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
875 meaning of the given key.
876 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
877 (patch by Martin Edlman).
878
879 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
880 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
881 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
882 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
883 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
884 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
885 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
886 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
887 to disable it.
888
889 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
890 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
891 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
892 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
893 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
894 with modifiers.
895 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
896 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
897 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
898 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
899 and clear the scrollback buffer.
900
901 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
902 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
903 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
904 a command.
905 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
906 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
907 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
908 in Perl/Gtk2.
909 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
910 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
911 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
912 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
913 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
914 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
915 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
916 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
917 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
918 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
919 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
920 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
921 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
922 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
923 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
924 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
925 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
926 rxvt-unicode).
927 - get rid of the intpro files.
928
929 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
930 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
931 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
932 (Kuang-che Wu).
933 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
934 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
935 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
936 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
937 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
938 along with other, similar, cleanups.
939 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
940 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
941 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
942 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
943 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
944 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
945
946 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
947 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
948 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
949 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
950 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
951 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
952 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
953 his patience and time in tracking this down).
954 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
955 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
956 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
957 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
958 by Joël Riou).
959 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
960 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
961 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
962 - shaved off some code segment size.
963 - various code cleanups.
964 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
965
966 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
967 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
968 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
969 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
970 -pixmap is active.
971 - new option/resource imFont.
972 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
973 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
974 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
975 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
976 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
977 (WU Fengguang).
978 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
979 examples (rxvt.1).
980 - removed src/test completely.
981 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
982
983 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
984 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
985 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
986 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
987 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
988 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
989 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
990 resulting in segfaults.
991 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
992 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
993 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
994 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
995 (Mikael Magnusson).
996 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
997 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
998 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
999 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1000 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1001 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1002 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1003 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1004 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1005 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1006 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1007 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1008 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1009
1010 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1011 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
1012 black on initial startup.
1013 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1014 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1015 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1016 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1017 additional multimedia keys.
1018 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1019 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1020
1021 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1022 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1023 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1024 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1025 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1026 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1027 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1028 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1029 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1030 ignored.
1031 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1032 instead.
1033 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1034 (reported by hednod).
1035 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1036 - fix atom name enumeration.
1037
1038 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1039 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1040 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1041 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1042 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1043 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1044
1045 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1046 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1047 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1048 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1049 titles etc.
1050 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1051 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1052 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1053 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1054 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1055 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1056 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1057 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1058 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1059 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1060 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1061 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1062 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1063 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1064
1065 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1066 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1067 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1068 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1069 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1070 thoroughly.
1071 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1072 now, too.
1073
1074 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1075 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1076 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1077 on high-latency networks.
1078 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1079 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1080 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1081 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1082 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1083 by Gunnar Ritter.
1084 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1085 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1086
1087 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1088 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1089 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1090 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1091 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1092 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1093 - add compile fix for darwin.
1094 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1095 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1096 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1097
1098 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1099 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1100 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1101 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1102 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1103 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1104 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1105 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1106 ... terminated by a fix.
1107 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1108 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1109 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1110 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1111 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1112 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1113 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1114 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1115 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1116 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1117 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1118 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1119 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1120 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1121 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1122 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1123 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1124 in tracking this down.
1125 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1126 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1127
1128 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1129 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1130 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1131
1132 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1133 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1134 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1135 installed if tic is available.
1136 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1137 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1138 - removed README.unicode.
1139 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1140 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1141 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1142 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1143 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1144 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1145 screen updates with curses.
1146 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1147 by spaces.
1148 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1149 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1150 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1151 is just too slow for this to work.
1152 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1153 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1154 implement. use --enable-styles.
1155 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1156 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1157 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1158 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1159 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1160 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1161 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1162 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1163 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1164 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1165 (only for non-bold right now).
1166 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1167 - better default font size and style.
1168 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1169 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1170 single character against the base font extents and will only
1171 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1172 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1173 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1174 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1175 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1176 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1177 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1178 screen height.
1179 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1180 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1181 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1182 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1183 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1184 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1185 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1186 - removed OSC 702.
1187 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1188 confused by it rather than using it.
1189
1190 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1191 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1192 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1193 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1195 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1196 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1197 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1198 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1199 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1200 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1201 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1202 close).
1203 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1204 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1205 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1206 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1207 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1208 could not be created.
1209 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1210 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1211 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1212 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1213 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1214 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1215 works.
1216 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1217 - document more escape sequences.
1218 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1219 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1220 character is a sensible operation.
1221 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1222 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1223 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1224 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1225 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1226 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1227 with selections).
1228
1229 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1230 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1231 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1232 needs access to a local shell window).
1233 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1234 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1235 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1236 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1237 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1238 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1239 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1240 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1241 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1242 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1243 added there.
1244 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1245 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1246 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1247 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1248 instead of being ignored.
1249 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1250 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1251 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1252 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1253 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1254 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1255 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1256 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1257 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1258 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1259 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1260 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1261 needs testing anyways.
1262 - more complete compile options help output.
1263 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1264 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1265 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1266 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1267 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1268 - minor doc fix.
1269
1270 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1271 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1272 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1273 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1274 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1275 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1276 memmove :)
1277 - minor cleanups.
1278 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1279 (debian bug #169415).
1280 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1281 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1282 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1283 - updated config.guess.
1284
1285 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1286 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1287 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1288 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1289 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1290 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1291 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1292 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1293 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1294 - various other optimizations.
1295 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1296
1297 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1298 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1299 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1300 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1301 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1302 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1303 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1304 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1305 Mikael Magnusson).
1306 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1307 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1308 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1309
1310 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1311 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1312 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1313 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1314 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1315 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1316 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1317 with ^V (SYN).
1318 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1319
1320 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1321 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1322 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1323 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1324 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1325 well as with other terminal emulators.
1326 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
1327 (reported by elmex).
1328 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1329 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1330 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1331 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1332 Bloch.
1333
1334 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1335 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1336 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1337 sorry).
1338 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1339 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1340
1341 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1342 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1343 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1344 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1345
1346 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1347 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1348 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1349 - fix some minor bugs.
1350
1351 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1352 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1353 for the keymappings.
1354 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1355 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1356 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1357 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1358 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1359 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1360 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1361 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1362 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1363 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1364 overwritten (as is common).
1365 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1366 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1367
1368 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1369 - minor doc corrections.
1370 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1371 avoid clashes with xterm.
1372 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1373 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1374 window colour when arg is "?".
1375 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1376 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1377 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1378 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1379 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1380 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1381 (FRILLS).
1382 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1383 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1384 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1385 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1386
1387 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1388 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1389 - support more 8-bit controls.
1390 - more informative error messages.
1391 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1392 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1393 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1394 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1395 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1396
1397 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1398 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1399 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1400 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1401 - removed old selection style completely.
1402 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1403 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1404 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1405 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1406 be used from within rxvt.
1407 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1408
1409 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1410 - code cleanup release.
1411 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1412 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1413 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1414 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1415 all files.
1416 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1417 --enable-xgetdefaults.
1418
1419 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1420 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1421 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1422 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1423 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1424 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1425 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1426 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1427 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1428 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1429 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1430 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1431 --disable-xgetdefault.
1432 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1433 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1434 unicode character.
1435 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1436 get it wrong.
1437 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1438
1439 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1440 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1441 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1442 settings.
1443 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1444 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1445 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1446 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1447 mbrtowc.
1448 - more robust encoding name matching.
1449 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1450 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1451 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1452 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1453 resources and docs.
1454 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1455
1456 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1457 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1458 - some doc cleanup
1459 - configure cleanup
1460 - viscii enabled by default
1461 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1462
1463 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1464 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1465
1466 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1467 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1468 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1469 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1470 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1471 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1472 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1473 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1474 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1475 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1476 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1477 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1478 reported by joel reed.
1479 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1480 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1481 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1482 being selected.
1483 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1484 - removed greek support.
1485 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1486 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1487 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1488 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1489 contributed.
1490 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1491 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1492 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1493 - many other minor bugfixes.
1494
1495 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1496 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1497 new bugs, this should not change much.
1498 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1499 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1500 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1501 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1502 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1503 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1504 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1505
1506 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1507 - further cleanups.
1508 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1509 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1510 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1511 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1512 please drop me a note.
1513
1514 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1515 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1516 - blinking text.
1517 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1518 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1519 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1520 was never implemented
1521
1522 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1523 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1524 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1525 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1526 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1527 reported by fefe
1528 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1529 Markus Demleitner
1530 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1531 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1532 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1533
1534 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1535 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1536 - small font tunings
1537 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1538 - better error reporting for unknown options
1539
1540 1.3 2003-12-26
1541 - fix a bug in font height selection
1542 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1543 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1544 - much faster x11 font selection
1545
1546 1.2 2003-12-24
1547 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1548 - better font matching
1549 - better memory management (less memory)
1550 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1551
1552 1.1 2003-12-18
1553 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1554 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1555 - much improved font choosing
1556
1557 1.0 2003-12-18
1558 - first release
1559 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1560 - removed rclock et al.
1561 - initial conversion to C++
1562
