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?

23 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
24 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
25 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
26 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
27 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
28 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
29 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
31 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
32 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
33 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
34 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
35 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
36 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
37 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
38 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
39 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
40 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
41 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
42 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
43 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
44 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
45 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
46 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
48 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
49 with gcc.
50 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
52 - document 'thickness' resource.
53 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
54 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
55 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
56 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
57 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
58 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
59 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
60 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
61 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
62 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
63 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
64
65 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
66 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
67 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
68 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
69 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
70 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
71 failures with gcc 4.5.
72 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
73 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
74 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
75 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
76 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
77 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
78 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
79 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
80 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
81 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
82 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
83 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
84 and has fewer limitations.
85 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
86 startup for the upper left corner.
87 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
88 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
89 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
91 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
92 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
93 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
95 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - fix build on XFree86.
97 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
98 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
99 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
100 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
101
102 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
103 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
104 - the bestest release ever.
105 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
106 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
109 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
110 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
113 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
115 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
116 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
117 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
118 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
119 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
120 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
121 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
122 characters other than first one in the selected cell
123 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
125 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
127 (found by Mikachu).
128 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
129 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
131 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
133 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
134 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
135 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
137 for 256 colours.
138 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
139 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
140 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
141 88*88 possible pairs.
142 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
143 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
144 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
145 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
147 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
148 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
149 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
150 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
151 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
152 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
153 backspacekey was given.
154 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
155 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
156 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
157 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
158 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
159 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
160
161 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
162 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
163 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
164 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
165 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
166 Mikachu).
167 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
168 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
169 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
170 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
171 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
172 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
173 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
174 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
175 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
176 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
177 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
178 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
179 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
180 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
181 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
182 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
183 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
184 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
185 - update to libptytty 1.3.
186 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
187 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
188 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
190 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
191 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
192 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
193 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
194 in need of fixing. go figure.
195 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
196 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
197 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
198 the new ->selection_screen method.
199 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
200 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
201 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
202 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
203 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
204 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
205
206 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
207 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
208 - updates libev to 3.48.
209 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
210 when a window was closed.
211 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
212 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
213 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
214 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
215 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
216 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
217 makes copy&paste work.
218 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
219 no longer apply.
220 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
221 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
222 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
223 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
224 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
225 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
226 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
227 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
228 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
229 the only known workaround.
230 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
231 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
232 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
233 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
234 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
235 disabling size hints.
236 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
237 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
238 as mouse reporting.
239 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
240 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
241 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
242 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
243 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
244 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
245 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
246 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
247 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
248 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
249 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
250 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
251
252 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
253 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
254 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
255 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
256 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
257 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
258 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
259 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
260 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
261 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
262 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
263 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
264 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
265 help working window managers as well.
266 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
267 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
268 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
269 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
270 from the toplevel window to the children.
271 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
272 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
273 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
274 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
275
276 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
277 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
278 - fix build with !xft.
279 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
280
281 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
282 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
283 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
284 received" problem, again :)
285 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
286
287 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
288 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
289 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
290 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
291 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
292 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
293 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
294 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
295 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
296 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
297 channels or background images are used.
298 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
299 till the first event arrives. or so.
300 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
301 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
302 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
303 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
304 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
305 resets the terminal.
306 - scrollbar code cleanups.
307 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
308 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
309 - updated to libev 3.0.
310
311 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
312 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
313 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
314 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
315 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
316 would not clear it visually in another.
317 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
318 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
319 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
320 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
321 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
322 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
323
324 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
325 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
326 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
327 effects.
328 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
329 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
330 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
331 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
332 text was visible.
333 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
334 some minor improvements.
335 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
336 display and not once per terminal window.
337 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
338
339 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
340 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
341 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
342 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
343
344 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
345 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
346 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
347 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
348 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
349 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
350 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
351 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
352
353 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
354 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
355
356 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
357 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
358 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
359 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
360 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
361 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
362 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
363 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
364 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
365 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
366 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
367 - parallel builds should work once more.
368
369 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
370 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
371 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
372 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
373 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
374 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
375 missing DISPLAY.
376 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
377 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
378 - updated io_manager.
379
380 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
381 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
382 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
383 /usr/X11R6/lib.
384 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
385 patch by Sasha Vasko.
386 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
387 (patch by Philip Paeps).
388 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
389 (patch by Mikachu).
390 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
391 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
392 digit (exg).
393 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
394 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
395 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
396 extension (tpope).
397 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
398 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
399 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
400 problems.
401
402 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
403 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
404 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
405 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
406 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
407 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
408 (found by Aiviru).
409 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
410 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
411 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
412 case to work around for :/
413 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
414 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
415 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
416 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
417 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
418 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
419 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
420 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
421 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
422 Paskevich).
423 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
424 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
425 - update libptytty.
426 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
427 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
428 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
429 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
430 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
431 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
432 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
433 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
434 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
435
436 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
437 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
438 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
439 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
440 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
441 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
442 Reported by Takano Akio.
443 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
444 reported by exg.
445 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
446 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
447 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
448 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
449
450 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
451 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
452 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
453 circumstances (reported by exg).
454 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
455 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
456 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
457 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
458 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
459 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
460 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
461 - update to libptytty-1.0.
462 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
463 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
464 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
465 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
466 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
467 bug #143985).
468 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
469 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
470 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
471 - manpage fix by exg.
472
473 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
474 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
475 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
476 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
477 it does! :->
478 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
479 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
480
481 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
482 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
483 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
484 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
485 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
486 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
487 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
488 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
489 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
490 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
491 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
492 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
493 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
494 uppercase character.
495 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
496 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
497 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
498 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
499 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
500 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
501 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
502 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
503 generic osc_seq.
504 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
505 were invoked recursively.
506 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
507 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
508 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
509 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
510 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
511 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
512 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
513 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
514 by omatunto_.
515 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
516 follow C++ closely enough.
517 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
518 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
519 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
520 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
521
522 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
523 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
524 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
525 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
526 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
527 click, and eats the click.
528 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
529 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
530 refresh bugs please.
531 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
532 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
533 improve size hint setting.
534 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
535 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
536 to correctly position their preedit window.
537 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
538 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
539 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
540 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
541 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
542 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
543 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
544 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
545 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
546 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
547 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
548 (reported by Paco-Paco).
549 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
550 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
551 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
552
553 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
554 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
555 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
556 resource value.
557 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
558 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
559 relevant tab window.
560 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
561 (initial patch by hednod).
562 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
563 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
564 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
565 the benefit of automove-background.
566 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
567 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
568 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
569 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
570 __linux__.
571 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
572 the colour components.
573 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
574 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
575 - more colour rtt optimisations.
576 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
577 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
578 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
579 - minor libptytty update.
580
581 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
582 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
583 detection:
584 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
585 - overlap detection was improved.
586 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
587 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
588 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
589 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
590 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
591 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
592 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
593 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
594 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
595 broken.
596 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
597 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
598 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
599 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
600 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
601 (patch by Paco-Paco).
602 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
603 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
604 an "[alpha]" prefix.
605 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
606 transparent. Long Live Xft!
607 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
608 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
609 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
610 on a pseudocolor screen.
611 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
612 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
613 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
614 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
615 - small configure updates.
616 - further RTT optimisations.
617 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
618 the debian package.
619 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
620 but much newer than the old one.
621
622 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
623 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
624 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
625 - small configure updates for libptytty.
626 - fixed version options: line output.
627 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
628
629 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
630 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
631 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
632 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
633 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
634 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
635 selection extension.
636 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
637 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
638 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
639 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
640 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
641 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
642 needs the careful rendering mode.
643 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
644 too wide and needs careful mode.
645 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
646 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
647 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
648 atoms only once per display.
649 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
650 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
651 xterm.
652
653 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
654 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
655 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
656 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
657 ctrl-shift-672c).
658 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
659 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
660 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
661 the primary screen.
662 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
663 could lead to an assertion failure.
664 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
665 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
666 via mouse clicks.
667 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
668 with shift - mouse button 2.
669 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
670 in non-synthetic events.
671 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
672 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
673 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
674 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
675 whole urxvt[d] process.
676 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
677 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
678 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
679 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
680
681 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
682 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
683 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
684 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
685 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
686 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
687 special privileges.
688 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
689 itself.
690 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
691 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
692 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
693 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
694 similar stuff.
695 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
696 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
697 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
698 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
699 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
700 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
701 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
702 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
703 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
704 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
705 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
706 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
707 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
708 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
709 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
710 to set the window title.
711 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
712 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
713 at the wrong time.
714 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
715 anymore.
716 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
717 - nuked QNX support.
718 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
719 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
720 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
721 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
722
723 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
724 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
725 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
726 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
727 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
728 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
729 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
730 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
731 and much much more.
732 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
733 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
734 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
735 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
736 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
737 setuid/setgid.
738 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
739 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
740 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
741 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
742 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
743 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
744 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
745 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
746 compatible, and not really small either.
747 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
748 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
749 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
750 to crashes.
751 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
752 colours.
753 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
754 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
755
756 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
757 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
758 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
759 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
760 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
761 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
762 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
763 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
764 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
765 by Mikachu).
766 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
767 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
768 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
769 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
770 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
771 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
772 - fix directory permissions on install.
773 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
774 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
775 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
776 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
777 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
778
779 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
780 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
781 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
782 Chuck Blake.
783 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
784 obscure the mouse cursor position.
785 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
786 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
787 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
788 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
789 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
790 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
791 transfer efficiency.
792 - further minor cleanups.
793
794 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
795 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
796 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
797 while the user still drags.
798 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
799 not drawn correctly.
800 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
801 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
802 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
803 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
804 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
805 stripping whitespace.
806 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
807 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
808
809 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
810 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
811 - enable slow link support by default.
812 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
813 (also a bug in original rxvt).
814 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
815 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
816 partial patch).
817 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
818 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
819 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
820 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
821 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
822 - implement -hold option.
823 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
824 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
825 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
826 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
827 - slight overall speed improvements.
828 - considerably improved code clarity.
829 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
830 buffer.
831
832 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
833 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
834 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
835 (matters only for rxvtd).
836 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
837 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
838 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
839
840 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
841 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
842 If you want the old behaviour, try:
843 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
844 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
845 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
846 percentage by 100-percentage.
847 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
848 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
849 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
850 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
851 windows.
852 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
853 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
854 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
855 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
856 - replaced INSTALL file.
857
858 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
859 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
860 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
861 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
862 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
863 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
864 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
865 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
866 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
867
868 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
869 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
870 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
871 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
872 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
873 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
874 Affects display in iso14755 box.
875 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
876 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
877 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
878 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
879 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
880 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
881 cutting pieces off of characters.
882 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
883 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
884 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
885 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
886 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
887 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
888 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
889
890 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
891 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
892 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
893 meaning of the given key.
894 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
895 (patch by Martin Edlman).
896
897 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
898 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
899 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
900 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
901 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
902 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
903 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
904 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
905 to disable it.
906
907 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
908 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
909 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
910 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
911 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
912 with modifiers.
913 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
914 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
915 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
916 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
917 and clear the scrollback buffer.
918
919 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
920 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
921 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
922 a command.
923 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
924 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
925 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
926 in Perl/Gtk2.
927 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
928 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
929 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
930 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
931 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
932 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
933 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
934 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
935 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
936 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
937 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
938 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
939 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
940 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
941 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
942 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
943 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
944 rxvt-unicode).
945 - get rid of the intpro files.
946
947 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
948 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
949 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
950 (Kuang-che Wu).
951 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
952 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
953 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
954 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
955 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
956 along with other, similar, cleanups.
957 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
958 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
959 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
960 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
961 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
962 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
963
964 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
965 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
966 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
967 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
968 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
969 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
970 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
971 his patience and time in tracking this down).
972 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
973 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
974 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
975 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
976 by Joël Riou).
977 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
978 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
979 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
980 - shaved off some code segment size.
981 - various code cleanups.
982 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
983
984 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
985 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
986 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
987 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
988 -pixmap is active.
989 - new option/resource imFont.
990 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
991 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
992 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
993 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
994 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
995 (WU Fengguang).
996 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
997 examples (rxvt.1).
998 - removed src/test completely.
999 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1000
1001 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1002 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1003 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1004 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1005 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1006 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1007 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1008 resulting in segfaults.
1009 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1010 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1011 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1012 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1013 (Mikael Magnusson).
1014 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1015 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1016 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1017 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1018 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1019 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1020 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1021 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1022 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1023 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1024 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1025 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1026 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1027
1028 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1029 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
1030 black on initial startup.
1031 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1032 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1033 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1034 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1035 additional multimedia keys.
1036 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1037 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1038
1039 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1040 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1041 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1042 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1043 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1044 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1045 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1046 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1047 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1048 ignored.
1049 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1050 instead.
1051 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1052 (reported by hednod).
1053 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1054 - fix atom name enumeration.
1055
1056 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1057 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1058 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1059 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1060 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1061 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1062
1063 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1064 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1065 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1066 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1067 titles etc.
1068 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1069 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1070 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1071 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1072 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1073 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1074 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1075 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1076 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1077 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1078 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1079 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1080 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1081 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1082
1083 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1084 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1085 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1086 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1087 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1088 thoroughly.
1089 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1090 now, too.
1091
1092 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1093 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1094 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1095 on high-latency networks.
1096 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1097 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1098 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1099 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1100 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1101 by Gunnar Ritter.
1102 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1103 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1104
1105 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1106 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1107 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1108 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1109 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1110 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1111 - add compile fix for darwin.
1112 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1113 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1114 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1115
1116 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1117 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1118 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1119 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1120 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1121 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1122 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1123 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1124 ... terminated by a fix.
1125 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1126 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1127 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1128 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1129 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1130 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1131 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1132 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1133 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1134 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1135 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1136 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1137 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1138 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1139 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1140 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1141 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1142 in tracking this down.
1143 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1144 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1145
1146 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1147 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1148 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1149
1150 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1151 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1152 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1153 installed if tic is available.
1154 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1155 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1156 - removed README.unicode.
1157 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1158 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
1159 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1160 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1161 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1162 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1163 screen updates with curses.
1164 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1165 by spaces.
1166 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1167 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1168 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1169 is just too slow for this to work.
1170 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1171 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1172 implement. use --enable-styles.
1173 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1174 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1175 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1176 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1177 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1178 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1179 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1180 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1181 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1182 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1183 (only for non-bold right now).
1184 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1185 - better default font size and style.
1186 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1187 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1188 single character against the base font extents and will only
1189 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1190 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1191 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1192 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1193 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1194 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1195 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1196 screen height.
1197 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1198 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1199 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1200 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1201 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1202 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1203 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1204 - removed OSC 702.
1205 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1206 confused by it rather than using it.
1207
1208 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1209 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1210 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1211 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1212 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1213 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1214 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1215 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1216 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1217 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1218 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1219 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
1220 close).
1221 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1222 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1223 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1224 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1225 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1226 could not be created.
1227 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1228 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1229 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1230 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1231 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1232 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1233 works.
1234 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1235 - document more escape sequences.
1236 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1237 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1238 character is a sensible operation.
1239 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1240 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1241 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1242 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1243 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1244 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1245 with selections).
1246
1247 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1248 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1249 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1250 needs access to a local shell window).
1251 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1252 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1253 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1254 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1255 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1256 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1257 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1258 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1259 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1260 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1261 added there.
1262 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1263 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1264 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1265 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1266 instead of being ignored.
1267 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1268 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1269 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1270 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1271 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1272 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1273 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1274 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1275 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1276 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1277 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1278 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1279 needs testing anyways.
1280 - more complete compile options help output.
1281 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1282 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1283 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1284 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1285 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1286 - minor doc fix.
1287
1288 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1289 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1290 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1291 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1292 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1293 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1294 memmove :)
1295 - minor cleanups.
1296 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1297 (debian bug #169415).
1298 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1299 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1300 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1301 - updated config.guess.
1302
1303 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1304 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1305 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1306 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1307 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1308 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1309 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1310 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1311 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1312 - various other optimizations.
1313 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1314
1315 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1316 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1317 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1318 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1319 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1320 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1321 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1322 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1323 Mikael Magnusson).
1324 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1325 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1326 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1327
1328 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1329 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1330 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1331 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1332 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1333 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1334 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1335 with ^V (SYN).
1336 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1337
1338 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1339 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1340 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1341 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1342 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1343 well as with other terminal emulators.
1344 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
1345 (reported by elmex).
1346 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1347 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1348 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1349 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1350 Bloch.
1351
1352 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1353 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1354 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1355 sorry).
1356 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1357 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1358
1359 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1360 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1361 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1362 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1363
1364 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1365 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1366 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1367 - fix some minor bugs.
1368
1369 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1370 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1371 for the keymappings.
1372 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1373 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1374 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1375 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1376 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1377 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1378 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1379 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1380 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1381 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1382 overwritten (as is common).
1383 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1384 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1385
1386 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1387 - minor doc corrections.
1388 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1389 avoid clashes with xterm.
1390 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1391 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1392 window colour when arg is "?".
1393 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1394 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1395 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1396 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1397 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1398 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1399 (FRILLS).
1400 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1401 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1402 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1403 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1404
1405 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1406 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1407 - support more 8-bit controls.
1408 - more informative error messages.
1409 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1410 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1411 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1412 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1413 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1414
1415 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1416 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1417 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1418 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1419 - removed old selection style completely.
1420 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1421 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1422 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1423 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1424 be used from within rxvt.
1425 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1426
1427 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1428 - code cleanup release.
1429 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1431 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1432 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1433 all files.
1434 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1435 --enable-xgetdefaults.
1436
1437 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1438 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1439 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1440 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1441 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1442 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1443 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1444 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1445 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1446 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1447 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1448 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1449 --disable-xgetdefault.
1450 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1451 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1452 unicode character.
1453 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1454 get it wrong.
1455 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1456
1457 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1458 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1459 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1460 settings.
1461 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1462 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1463 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1464 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1465 mbrtowc.
1466 - more robust encoding name matching.
1467 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1468 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1469 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1470 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1471 resources and docs.
1472 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1473
1474 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1475 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1476 - some doc cleanup
1477 - configure cleanup
1478 - viscii enabled by default
1479 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1480
1481 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1482 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1483
1484 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1485 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1486 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1487 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1488 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1489 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1490 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1491 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1492 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1493 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1494 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1495 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1496 reported by joel reed.
1497 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1498 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1499 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1500 being selected.
1501 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1502 - removed greek support.
1503 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1504 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1505 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1506 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1507 contributed.
1508 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1509 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1510 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1511 - many other minor bugfixes.
1512
1513 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1514 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1515 new bugs, this should not change much.
1516 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1517 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1518 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1519 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1520 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1521 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1522 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1523
1524 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1525 - further cleanups.
1526 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1527 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1528 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1529 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1530 please drop me a note.
1531
1532 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1533 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1534 - blinking text.
1535 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1536 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1537 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1538 was never implemented
1539
1540 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1541 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1542 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1543 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1544 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1545 reported by fefe
1546 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1547 Markus Demleitner
1548 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1549 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1550 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1551
1552 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1553 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1554 - small font tunings
1555 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1556 - better error reporting for unknown options
1557
1558 1.3 2003-12-26
1559 - fix a bug in font height selection
1560 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1561 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1562 - much faster x11 font selection
1563
1564 1.2 2003-12-24
1565 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1566 - better font matching
1567 - better memory management (less memory)
1568 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1569
1570 1.1 2003-12-18
1571 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1572 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1573 - much improved font choosing
1574
1575 1.0 2003-12-18
1576 - first release
1577 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1578 - removed rclock et al.
1579 - initial conversion to C++
1580
