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: perl selection object creation/destruction
24 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
25 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
26 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
27 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
28 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
29 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
30 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
31 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
32 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
33 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
34 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
35 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
36 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
37 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
38 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
40 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
41 with gcc.
42 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
44 - document 'thickness' resource.
45 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
46 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
47 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
48 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
49 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
51 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
52 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
53 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
54 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
55 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
56
57 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
58 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
59 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
60 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
61 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
62 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
63 failures with gcc 4.5.
64 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
65 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
66 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
67 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
68 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
69 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
70 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
71 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
72 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
73 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
74 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
75 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
76 and has fewer limitations.
77 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
78 startup for the upper left corner.
79 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
80 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
81 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
83 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
84 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
85 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
86 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
87 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 - fix build on XFree86.
89 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
90 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
91 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
92 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
93
94 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
95 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
96 - the bestest release ever.
97 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
98 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
105 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
107 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
108 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
109 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
110 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
111 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
112 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
113 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
114 characters other than first one in the selected cell
115 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
117 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
119 (found by Mikachu).
120 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
121 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
123 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
125 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
127 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
129 for 256 colours.
130 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
131 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
132 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
133 88*88 possible pairs.
134 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
135 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
136 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
137 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
139 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
140 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
141 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
142 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
143 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
144 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
145 backspacekey was given.
146 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
147 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
148 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
149 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
150 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
151 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
152
153 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
154 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
155 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
156 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
157 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
158 Mikachu).
159 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
160 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
161 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
162 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
163 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
164 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
165 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
166 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
167 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
168 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
169 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
170 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
171 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
172 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
173 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
174 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
175 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
176 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
177 - update to libptytty 1.3.
178 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
179 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
180 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
182 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
183 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
184 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
185 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
186 in need of fixing. go figure.
187 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
188 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
189 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
190 the new ->selection_screen method.
191 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
192 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
194 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
195 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
196 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
197
198 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
199 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
200 - updates libev to 3.48.
201 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
202 when a window was closed.
203 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
204 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
205 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
206 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
207 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
208 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
209 makes copy&paste work.
210 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
211 no longer apply.
212 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
213 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
214 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
215 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
216 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
217 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
218 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
219 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
220 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
221 the only known workaround.
222 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
223 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
224 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
225 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
226 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
227 disabling size hints.
228 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
229 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
230 as mouse reporting.
231 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
232 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
233 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
234 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
235 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
236 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
237 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
238 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
239 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
240 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
241 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
242 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
243
244 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
245 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
246 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
247 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
248 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
249 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
250 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
251 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
252 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
253 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
254 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
255 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
256 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
257 help working window managers as well.
258 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
259 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
260 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
261 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
262 from the toplevel window to the children.
263 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
264 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
265 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
266 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
267
268 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
269 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
270 - fix build with !xft.
271 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
272
273 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
274 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
275 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
276 received" problem, again :)
277 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
278
279 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
280 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
281 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
282 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
283 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
284 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
285 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
286 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
287 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
288 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
289 channels or background images are used.
290 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
291 till the first event arrives. or so.
292 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
293 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
294 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
295 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
296 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
297 resets the terminal.
298 - scrollbar code cleanups.
299 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
300 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
301 - updated to libev 3.0.
302
303 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
304 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
305 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
306 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
307 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
308 would not clear it visually in another.
309 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
310 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
311 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
312 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
313 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
314 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
315
316 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
317 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
318 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
319 effects.
320 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
321 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
322 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
323 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
324 text was visible.
325 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
326 some minor improvements.
327 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
328 display and not once per terminal window.
329 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
330
331 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
332 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
333 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
334 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
335
336 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
337 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
338 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
339 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
340 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
341 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
342 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
343 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
344
345 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
346 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
347
348 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
349 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
350 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
351 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
352 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
353 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
354 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
355 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
356 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
357 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
358 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
359 - parallel builds should work once more.
360
361 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
362 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
363 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
364 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
365 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
366 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
367 missing DISPLAY.
368 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
369 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
370 - updated io_manager.
371
372 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
373 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
374 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
375 /usr/X11R6/lib.
376 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
377 patch by Sasha Vasko.
378 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
379 (patch by Philip Paeps).
380 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
381 (patch by Mikachu).
382 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
383 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
384 digit (exg).
385 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
386 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
387 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
388 extension (tpope).
389 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
390 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
391 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
392 problems.
393
394 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
395 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
396 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
397 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
398 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
399 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
400 (found by Aiviru).
401 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
402 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
403 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
404 case to work around for :/
405 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
406 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
407 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
408 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
409 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
410 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
411 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
412 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
413 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
414 Paskevich).
415 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
416 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
417 - update libptytty.
418 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
419 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
420 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
421 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
422 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
423 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
424 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
425 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
426 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
427
428 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
429 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
430 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
431 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
432 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
433 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
434 Reported by Takano Akio.
435 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
436 reported by exg.
437 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
438 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
439 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
440 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
441
442 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
443 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
444 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
445 circumstances (reported by exg).
446 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
447 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
448 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
449 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
450 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
451 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
452 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
453 - update to libptytty-1.0.
454 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
455 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
456 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
457 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
458 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
459 bug #143985).
460 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
461 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
462 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
463 - manpage fix by exg.
464
465 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
466 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
467 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
468 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
469 it does! :->
470 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
471 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
472
473 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
474 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
475 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
476 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
477 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
478 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
479 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
480 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
481 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
482 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
483 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
484 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
485 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
486 uppercase character.
487 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
488 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
489 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
490 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
491 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
492 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
493 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
494 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
495 generic osc_seq.
496 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
497 were invoked recursively.
498 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
499 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
500 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
501 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
502 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
503 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
504 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
505 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
506 by omatunto_.
507 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
508 follow C++ closely enough.
509 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
510 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
511 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
512 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
513
514 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
515 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
516 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
517 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
518 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
519 click, and eats the click.
520 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
521 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
522 refresh bugs please.
523 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
524 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
525 improve size hint setting.
526 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
527 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
528 to correctly position their preedit window.
529 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
530 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
531 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
532 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
533 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
534 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
535 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
536 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
537 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
538 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
539 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
540 (reported by Paco-Paco).
541 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
542 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
543 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
544
545 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
546 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
547 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
548 resource value.
549 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
550 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
551 relevant tab window.
552 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
553 (initial patch by hednod).
554 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
555 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
556 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
557 the benefit of automove-background.
558 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
559 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
560 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
561 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
562 __linux__.
563 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
564 the colour components.
565 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
566 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
567 - more colour rtt optimisations.
568 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
569 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
570 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
571 - minor libptytty update.
572
573 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
574 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
575 detection:
576 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
577 - overlap detection was improved.
578 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
579 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
580 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
581 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
582 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
583 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
584 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
585 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
586 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
587 broken.
588 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
589 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
590 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
591 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
592 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
593 (patch by Paco-Paco).
594 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
595 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
596 an "[alpha]" prefix.
597 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
598 transparent. Long Live Xft!
599 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
600 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
601 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
602 on a pseudocolor screen.
603 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
604 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
605 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
606 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
607 - small configure updates.
608 - further RTT optimisations.
609 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
610 the debian package.
611 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
612 but much newer than the old one.
613
614 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
615 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
616 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
617 - small configure updates for libptytty.
618 - fixed version options: line output.
619 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
620
621 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
622 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
623 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
624 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
625 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
626 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
627 selection extension.
628 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
629 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
630 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
631 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
632 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
633 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
634 needs the careful rendering mode.
635 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
636 too wide and needs careful mode.
637 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
638 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
639 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
640 atoms only once per display.
641 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
642 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
643 xterm.
644
645 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
646 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
647 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
648 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
649 ctrl-shift-672c).
650 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
651 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
652 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
653 the primary screen.
654 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
655 could lead to an assertion failure.
656 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
657 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
658 via mouse clicks.
659 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
660 with shift - mouse button 2.
661 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
662 in non-synthetic events.
663 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
664 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
665 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
666 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
667 whole urxvt[d] process.
668 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
669 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
670 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
671 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
672
673 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
674 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
675 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
676 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
677 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
678 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
679 special privileges.
680 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
681 itself.
682 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
683 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
684 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
685 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
686 similar stuff.
687 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
688 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
689 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
690 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
691 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
692 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
693 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
694 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
695 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
696 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
697 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
698 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
699 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
700 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
701 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
702 to set the window title.
703 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
704 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
705 at the wrong time.
706 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
707 anymore.
708 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
709 - nuked QNX support.
710 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
711 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
712 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
713 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
714
715 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
716 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
717 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
718 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
719 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
720 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
721 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
722 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
723 and much much more.
724 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
725 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
726 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
727 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
728 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
729 setuid/setgid.
730 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
731 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
732 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
733 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
734 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
735 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
736 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
737 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
738 compatible, and not really small either.
739 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
740 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
741 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
742 to crashes.
743 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
744 colours.
745 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
746 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
747
748 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
749 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
750 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
751 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
752 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
753 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
754 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
755 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
756 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
757 by Mikachu).
758 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
759 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
760 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
761 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
762 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
763 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
764 - fix directory permissions on install.
765 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
766 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
767 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
768 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
769 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
770
771 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
772 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
773 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
774 Chuck Blake.
775 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
776 obscure the mouse cursor position.
777 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
778 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
779 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
780 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
781 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
782 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
783 transfer efficiency.
784 - further minor cleanups.
785
786 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
787 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
788 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
789 while the user still drags.
790 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
791 not drawn correctly.
792 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
793 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
794 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
795 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
796 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
797 stripping whitespace.
798 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
799 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
800
801 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
802 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
803 - enable slow link support by default.
804 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
805 (also a bug in original rxvt).
806 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
807 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
808 partial patch).
809 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
810 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
811 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
812 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
813 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
814 - implement -hold option.
815 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
816 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
817 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
818 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
819 - slight overall speed improvements.
820 - considerably improved code clarity.
821 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
822 buffer.
823
824 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
825 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
826 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
827 (matters only for rxvtd).
828 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
829 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
830 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
831
832 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
833 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
834 If you want the old behaviour, try:
835 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
836 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
837 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
838 percentage by 100-percentage.
839 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
840 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
841 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
842 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
843 windows.
844 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
845 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
846 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
847 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
848 - replaced INSTALL file.
849
850 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
851 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
852 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
853 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
854 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
855 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
856 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
857 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
858 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
859
860 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
861 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
862 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
863 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
864 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
865 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
866 Affects display in iso14755 box.
867 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
868 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
869 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
870 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
871 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
872 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
873 cutting pieces off of characters.
874 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
875 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
876 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
877 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
878 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
879 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
880 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.

882 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
883 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
884 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
885 meaning of the given key.
886 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
887 (patch by Martin Edlman).
888
889 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
890 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
891 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
892 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
893 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
894 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
895 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
896 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
897 to disable it.
898
899 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
900 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
901 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
902 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
903 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
904 with modifiers.
905 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
906 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
907 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
908 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
909 and clear the scrollback buffer.
910
911 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
912 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
913 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
914 a command.
915 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
916 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
917 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
918 in Perl/Gtk2.
919 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
920 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
921 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
922 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
923 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
924 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
925 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
926 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
927 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
928 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
929 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
930 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
931 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
932 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
933 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
934 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
935 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
936 rxvt-unicode).
937 - get rid of the intpro files.
938
939 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
940 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
941 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
942 (Kuang-che Wu).
943 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
944 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
945 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
946 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
947 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
948 along with other, similar, cleanups.
949 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
950 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
951 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
952 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
953 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
954 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
955
956 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
957 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
958 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
959 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
960 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
961 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
962 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
963 his patience and time in tracking this down).
964 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
965 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
966 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
967 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
968 by Joël Riou).
969 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
970 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
971 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
972 - shaved off some code segment size.
973 - various code cleanups.
974 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
975
976 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
977 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
978 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
979 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
980 -pixmap is active.
981 - new option/resource imFont.
982 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
983 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
984 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
985 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
986 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
987 (WU Fengguang).
988 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
989 examples (rxvt.1).
990 - removed src/test completely.
991 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
992
993 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
994 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
995 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
996 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
997 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
998 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
999 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1000 resulting in segfaults.
1001 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1002 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1003 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1004 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1005 (Mikael Magnusson).
1006 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1007 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1008 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1009 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1010 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1011 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1012 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1013 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1014 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1015 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1016 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1017 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1018 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1019
1020 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1021 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
1022 black on initial startup.
1023 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1024 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1025 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1026 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1027 additional multimedia keys.
1028 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1029 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1030
1031 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1032 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1033 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1034 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1035 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1036 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1037 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1038 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1039 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1040 ignored.
1041 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1042 instead.
1043 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1044 (reported by hednod).
1045 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1046 - fix atom name enumeration.
1047
1048 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1049 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1050 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1051 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1052 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1053 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1054
1055 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1056 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1057 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1058 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1059 titles etc.
1060 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1061 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1062 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1063 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1064 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1065 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1066 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1067 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1068 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1069 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1070 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1071 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1072 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1073 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1074
1075 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1076 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1077 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1078 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1079 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1080 thoroughly.
1081 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1082 now, too.
1083
1084 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1085 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1086 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1087 on high-latency networks.
1088 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1089 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1090 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1091 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1092 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1093 by Gunnar Ritter.
1094 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1095 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1096
1097 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1098 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1099 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1100 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1101 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1102 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1103 - add compile fix for darwin.
1104 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1105 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1106 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1107
1108 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1109 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1110 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1111 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1112 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1113 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1114 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1115 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1116 ... terminated by a fix.
1117 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1118 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1119 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1120 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1121 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1122 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1123 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1124 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1125 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1126 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1127 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1128 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1129 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1130 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1131 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1132 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1133 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1134 in tracking this down.
1135 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1136 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1137
1138 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1139 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1140 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1141
1142 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1143 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1144 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1145 installed if tic is available.
1146 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1147 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1148 - removed README.unicode.
1149 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1150 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1151 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1152 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1153 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1154 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1155 screen updates with curses.
1156 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1157 by spaces.
1158 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1159 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1160 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1161 is just too slow for this to work.
1162 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1163 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1164 implement. use --enable-styles.
1165 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1166 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1167 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1168 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1169 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1170 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1171 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1172 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1173 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1174 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1175 (only for non-bold right now).
1176 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1177 - better default font size and style.
1178 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1179 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1180 single character against the base font extents and will only
1181 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1182 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1183 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1184 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1185 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1186 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1187 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1188 screen height.
1189 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1190 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1191 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1192 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1193 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1194 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1195 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1196 - removed OSC 702.
1197 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1198 confused by it rather than using it.
1199
1200 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1201 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1202 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1203 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1204 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1205 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1206 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1207 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1208 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1209 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1210 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1211 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1212 close).
1213 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1214 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1215 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1216 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1217 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1218 could not be created.
1219 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1220 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1221 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1222 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1223 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1224 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1225 works.
1226 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1227 - document more escape sequences.
1228 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1229 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1230 character is a sensible operation.
1231 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1232 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1233 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1234 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1235 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1236 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1237 with selections).
1238
1239 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1240 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1241 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1242 needs access to a local shell window).
1243 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1244 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1245 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1246 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1247 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1248 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1249 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1250 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1251 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1252 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1253 added there.
1254 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1255 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1256 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1257 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1258 instead of being ignored.
1259 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1260 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1261 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1262 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1263 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1264 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1265 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1266 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1267 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1268 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1269 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1270 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1271 needs testing anyways.
1272 - more complete compile options help output.
1273 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1274 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1275 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1276 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1277 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1278 - minor doc fix.
1279
1280 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1281 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1282 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1283 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1284 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1285 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1286 memmove :)
1287 - minor cleanups.
1288 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1289 (debian bug #169415).
1290 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1291 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1292 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1293 - updated config.guess.
1294
1295 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1296 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1297 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1298 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1299 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1300 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1301 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1302 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1303 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1304 - various other optimizations.
1305 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1306
1307 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1308 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1309 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1310 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1311 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1312 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1313 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1314 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1315 Mikael Magnusson).
1316 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1317 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1318 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1319
1320 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1321 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1322 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1323 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1324 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1325 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1326 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1327 with ^V (SYN).
1328 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1329
1330 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1331 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1332 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1333 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1334 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1335 well as with other terminal emulators.
1336 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
1337 (reported by elmex).
1338 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1339 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1340 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1341 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1342 Bloch.
1343
1344 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1345 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1346 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1347 sorry).
1348 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1349 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1350
1351 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1352 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1353 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1354 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1355
1356 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1357 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1358 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1359 - fix some minor bugs.
1360
1361 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1362 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1363 for the keymappings.
1364 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1365 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1366 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1367 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1368 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1369 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1370 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1371 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1372 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1373 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1374 overwritten (as is common).
1375 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1376 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1377
1378 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1379 - minor doc corrections.
1380 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1381 avoid clashes with xterm.
1382 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1383 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1384 window colour when arg is "?".
1385 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1386 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1387 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1388 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1389 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1390 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1391 (FRILLS).
1392 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1393 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1394 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1395 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1396
1397 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1398 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1399 - support more 8-bit controls.
1400 - more informative error messages.
1401 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1402 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1403 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1404 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1405 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1406
1407 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1408 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1409 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1410 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1411 - removed old selection style completely.
1412 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1413 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1414 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1415 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1416 be used from within rxvt.
1417 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1418
1419 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1420 - code cleanup release.
1421 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1422 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1423 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1424 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1425 all files.
1426 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1427 --enable-xgetdefaults.
1428
1429 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1431 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1432 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1433 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1434 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1435 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1436 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1437 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1438 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1439 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1440 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1441 --disable-xgetdefault.
1442 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1443 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1444 unicode character.
1445 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1446 get it wrong.
1447 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1448
1449 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1450 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1451 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1452 settings.
1453 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1454 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1455 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1456 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1457 mbrtowc.
1458 - more robust encoding name matching.
1459 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1460 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1461 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1462 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1463 resources and docs.
1464 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1465
1466 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1467 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1468 - some doc cleanup
1469 - configure cleanup
1470 - viscii enabled by default
1471 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1472
1473 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1474 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1475
1476 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1477 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1478 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1479 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1480 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1481 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1482 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1483 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1484 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1485 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1486 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1487 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1488 reported by joel reed.
1489 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1490 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1491 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1492 being selected.
1493 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1494 - removed greek support.
1495 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1496 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1497 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1498 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1499 contributed.
1500 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1501 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1502 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1503 - many other minor bugfixes.
1504
1505 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1506 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1507 new bugs, this should not change much.
1508 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1509 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1510 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1511 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1512 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1513 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1514 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1515
1516 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1517 - further cleanups.
1518 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1519 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1520 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1521 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1522 please drop me a note.
1523
1524 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1525 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1526 - blinking text.
1527 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1528 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1529 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1530 was never implemented
1531
1532 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1533 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1534 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1535 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1536 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1537 reported by fefe
1538 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1539 Markus Demleitner
1540 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1541 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1542 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1543
1544 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1545 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1546 - small font tunings
1547 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1548 - better error reporting for unknown options
1549
1550 1.3 2003-12-26
1551 - fix a bug in font height selection
1552 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1553 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1554 - much faster x11 font selection
1555
1556 1.2 2003-12-24
1557 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1558 - better font matching
1559 - better memory management (less memory)
1560 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1561
1562 1.1 2003-12-18
1563 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1564 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1565 - much improved font choosing
1566
1567 1.0 2003-12-18
1568 - first release
1569 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1570 - removed rclock et al.
1571 - initial conversion to C++
1572
