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: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
25 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
26 to disable both scaling and tiling.
27 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
28 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
29 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
31 - Fix compilation on systems with bsd style utmp and no utmpx,
32 such as openbsd.
33
34 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
35 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
36 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
37 support the UTF8_STRING target.
38 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
39 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
40 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
41 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
43 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
44 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
45 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
46 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
47 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
48
49 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
50 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
51 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
52 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
53 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
54 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
55 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
56 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
57 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
58 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
59 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
60 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
61 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
62 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
63 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
64 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
65 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
66 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
67 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
68 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
69 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
70 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
71 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
72 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
73 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
74 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
75 with gcc.
76 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
77 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
78 - document 'thickness' resource.
79 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
80 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
81 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
82 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
83 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
84 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
85 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
86 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
87 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
88 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
89 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
90
91 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
92 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
93 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
94 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
96 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
97 failures with gcc 4.5.
98 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
99 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
100 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
101 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
102 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
103 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
104 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
105 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
106 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
107 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
108 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
109 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
110 and has fewer limitations.
111 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
112 startup for the upper left corner.
113 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
114 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
115 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
117 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
118 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
119 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
121 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 - fix build on XFree86.
123 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
124 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
125 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
126 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
127
128 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
129 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
130 - the bestest release ever.
131 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
132 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
133 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
134 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
135 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
137 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
139 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
140 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
141 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
142 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
143 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
144 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
145 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
146 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
147 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
148 characters other than first one in the selected cell
149 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
150 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
151 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
152 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
153 (found by Mikachu).
154 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
155 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
156 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
157 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
158 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
159 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
160 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
161 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
162 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
163 for 256 colours.
164 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
165 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
166 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
167 88*88 possible pairs.
168 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
169 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
170 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
171 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
172 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
173 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
174 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
175 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
176 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
177 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
178 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
179 backspacekey was given.
180 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
181 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
182 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
183 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
184 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
185 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
186
187 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
188 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
189 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
190 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
191 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
192 Mikachu).
193 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
194 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
195 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
196 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
197 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
198 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
199 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
200 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
201 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
202 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
203 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
204 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
205 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
206 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
207 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
208 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
209 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
210 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
211 - update to libptytty 1.3.
212 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
213 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
214 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
216 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
217 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
218 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
219 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
220 in need of fixing. go figure.
221 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
222 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
223 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
224 the new ->selection_screen method.
225 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
226 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
228 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
229 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
230 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
231
232 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
233 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
234 - updates libev to 3.48.
235 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
236 when a window was closed.
237 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
238 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
239 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
240 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
241 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
242 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
243 makes copy&paste work.
244 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
245 no longer apply.
246 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
247 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
248 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
249 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
250 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
251 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
252 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
253 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
254 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
255 the only known workaround.
256 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
257 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
258 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
259 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
260 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
261 disabling size hints.
262 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
263 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
264 as mouse reporting.
265 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
266 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
267 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
268 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
269 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
270 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
271 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
272 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
273 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
274 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
275 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
276 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
277
278 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
279 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
280 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
281 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
282 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
283 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
284 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
285 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
286 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
287 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
288 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
289 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
290 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
291 help working window managers as well.
292 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
293 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
294 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
295 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
296 from the toplevel window to the children.
297 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
298 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
299 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
300 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
301
302 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
303 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
304 - fix build with !xft.
305 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
306
307 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
308 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
309 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
310 received" problem, again :)
311 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
312
313 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
314 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
315 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
316 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
317 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
318 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
319 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
320 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
321 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
322 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
323 channels or background images are used.
324 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
325 till the first event arrives. or so.
326 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
327 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
328 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
329 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
330 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
331 resets the terminal.
332 - scrollbar code cleanups.
333 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
334 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
335 - updated to libev 3.0.
336
337 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
338 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
339 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
340 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
341 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
342 would not clear it visually in another.
343 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
344 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
345 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
346 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
347 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
348 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
349
350 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
351 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
352 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
353 effects.
354 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
355 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
356 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
357 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
358 text was visible.
359 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
360 some minor improvements.
361 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
362 display and not once per terminal window.
363 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
364
365 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
366 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
367 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
368 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
369
370 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
371 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
372 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
373 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
374 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
375 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
376 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
377 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
378
379 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
380 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
381
382 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
383 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
384 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
385 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
386 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
387 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
388 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
389 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
390 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
391 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
392 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
393 - parallel builds should work once more.
394
395 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
396 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
397 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
398 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
399 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
400 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
401 missing DISPLAY.
402 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
403 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
404 - updated io_manager.
405
406 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
407 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
408 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
409 /usr/X11R6/lib.
410 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
411 patch by Sasha Vasko.
412 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
413 (patch by Philip Paeps).
414 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
415 (patch by Mikachu).
416 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
417 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
418 digit (exg).
419 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
420 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
421 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
422 extension (tpope).
423 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
424 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
425 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
426 problems.
427
428 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
429 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
430 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
431 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
432 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
433 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
434 (found by Aiviru).
435 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
436 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
437 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
438 case to work around for :/
439 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
440 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
441 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
442 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
443 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
444 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
445 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
446 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
447 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
448 Paskevich).
449 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
450 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
451 - update libptytty.
452 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
453 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
454 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
455 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
456 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
457 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
458 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
459 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
460 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
461
462 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
463 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
464 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
465 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
466 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
467 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
468 Reported by Takano Akio.
469 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
470 reported by exg.
471 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
472 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
473 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
474 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
475
476 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
477 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
478 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
479 circumstances (reported by exg).
480 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
481 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
482 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
483 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
484 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
485 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
486 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
487 - update to libptytty-1.0.
488 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
489 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
490 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
491 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
492 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
493 bug #143985).
494 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
495 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
496 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
497 - manpage fix by exg.
498
499 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
500 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
501 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
502 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
503 it does! :->
504 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
505 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
506
507 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
508 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
509 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
510 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
511 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
512 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
513 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
514 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
515 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
516 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
517 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
518 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
519 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
520 uppercase character.
521 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
522 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
523 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
524 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
525 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
526 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
527 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
528 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
529 generic osc_seq.
530 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
531 were invoked recursively.
532 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
533 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
534 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
535 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
536 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
537 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
538 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
539 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
540 by omatunto_.
541 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
542 follow C++ closely enough.
543 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
544 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
545 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
546 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
547
548 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
549 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
550 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
551 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
552 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
553 click, and eats the click.
554 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
555 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
556 refresh bugs please.
557 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
558 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
559 improve size hint setting.
560 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
561 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
562 to correctly position their preedit window.
563 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
564 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
565 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
566 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
567 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
568 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
569 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
570 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
571 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
572 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
573 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
574 (reported by Paco-Paco).
575 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
576 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
577 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
578
579 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
580 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
581 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
582 resource value.
583 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
584 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
585 relevant tab window.
586 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
587 (initial patch by hednod).
588 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
589 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
590 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
591 the benefit of automove-background.
592 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
593 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
594 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
595 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
596 __linux__.
597 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
598 the colour components.
599 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
600 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
601 - more colour rtt optimisations.
602 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
603 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
604 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
605 - minor libptytty update.
606
607 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
608 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
609 detection:
610 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
611 - overlap detection was improved.
612 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
613 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
614 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
615 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
616 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
617 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
618 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
619 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
620 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
621 broken.
622 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
623 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
624 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
625 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
626 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
627 (patch by Paco-Paco).
628 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
629 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
630 an "[alpha]" prefix.
631 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
632 transparent. Long Live Xft!
633 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
634 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
635 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
636 on a pseudocolor screen.
637 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
638 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
639 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
640 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
641 - small configure updates.
642 - further RTT optimisations.
643 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
644 the debian package.
645 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
646 but much newer than the old one.
647
648 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
649 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
650 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
651 - small configure updates for libptytty.
652 - fixed version options: line output.
653 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
654
655 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
656 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
657 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
658 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
659 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
660 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
661 selection extension.
662 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
663 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
664 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
665 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
666 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
667 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
668 needs the careful rendering mode.
669 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
670 too wide and needs careful mode.
671 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
672 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
673 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
674 atoms only once per display.
675 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
676 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
677 xterm.
678
679 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
680 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
681 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
682 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
683 ctrl-shift-672c).
684 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
685 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
686 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
687 the primary screen.
688 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
689 could lead to an assertion failure.
690 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
691 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
692 via mouse clicks.
693 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
694 with shift - mouse button 2.
695 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
696 in non-synthetic events.
697 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
698 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
699 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
700 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
701 whole urxvt[d] process.
702 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
703 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
704 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
705 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
706
707 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
708 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
709 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
710 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
711 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
712 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
713 special privileges.
714 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
715 itself.
716 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
717 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
718 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
719 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
720 similar stuff.
721 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
722 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
723 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
724 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
725 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
726 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
727 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
728 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
729 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
730 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
731 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
732 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
733 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
734 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
735 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
736 to set the window title.
737 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
738 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
739 at the wrong time.
740 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
741 anymore.
742 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
743 - nuked QNX support.
744 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
745 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
746 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
747 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
748
749 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
750 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
751 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
752 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
753 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
754 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
755 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
756 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
757 and much much more.
758 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
759 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
760 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
761 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
762 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
763 setuid/setgid.
764 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
765 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
766 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
767 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
768 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
769 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
770 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
771 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
772 compatible, and not really small either.
773 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
774 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
775 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
776 to crashes.
777 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
778 colours.
779 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
780 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
781
782 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
783 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
784 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
785 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
786 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
787 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
788 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
789 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
790 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
791 by Mikachu).
792 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
793 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
794 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
795 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
796 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
797 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
798 - fix directory permissions on install.
799 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
800 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
801 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
802 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
803 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
804
805 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
806 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
807 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
808 Chuck Blake.
809 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
810 obscure the mouse cursor position.
811 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
812 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
813 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
814 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
815 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
816 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
817 transfer efficiency.
818 - further minor cleanups.
819
820 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
821 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
822 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
823 while the user still drags.
824 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
825 not drawn correctly.
826 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
827 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
828 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
829 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
830 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
831 stripping whitespace.
832 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
833 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
834
835 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
836 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
837 - enable slow link support by default.
838 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
839 (also a bug in original rxvt).
840 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
841 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
842 partial patch).
843 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
844 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
845 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
846 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
847 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
848 - implement -hold option.
849 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
850 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
851 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
852 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
853 - slight overall speed improvements.
854 - considerably improved code clarity.
855 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
856 buffer.
857
858 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
859 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
860 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
861 (matters only for rxvtd).
862 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
863 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
864 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
865
866 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
867 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
868 If you want the old behaviour, try:
869 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
870 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
871 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
872 percentage by 100-percentage.
873 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
874 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
875 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
876 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
877 windows.
878 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
879 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
880 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
881 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
882 - replaced INSTALL file.
883
884 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
885 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
886 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
887 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
888 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
889 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
890 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
891 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
892 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
893
894 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
895 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
896 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
897 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
898 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
899 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
900 Affects display in iso14755 box.
901 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
902 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
903 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
904 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
905 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
906 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
907 cutting pieces off of characters.
908 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
909 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
910 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
911 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
912 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
913 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
914 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
915
916 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
917 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
918 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
919 meaning of the given key.
920 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
921 (patch by Martin Edlman).
922
923 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
924 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
925 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
926 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
927 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
928 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
929 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
930 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
931 to disable it.
932
933 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
934 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
935 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
936 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
937 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
938 with modifiers.
939 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
940 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
941 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
942 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
943 and clear the scrollback buffer.
944
945 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
946 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
947 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
948 a command.
949 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
950 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
951 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
952 in Perl/Gtk2.
953 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
954 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
955 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
956 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
957 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
958 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
959 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
960 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
961 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
962 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
963 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
964 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
965 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
966 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
967 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
968 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
969 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
970 rxvt-unicode).
971 - get rid of the intpro files.
972
973 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
974 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
975 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
976 (Kuang-che Wu).
977 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
978 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
979 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
980 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
981 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
982 along with other, similar, cleanups.
983 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
984 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
985 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
986 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
987 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
988 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
989
990 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
991 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
992 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
993 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
994 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
995 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
996 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
997 his patience and time in tracking this down).
998 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
999 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1000 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1001 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1002 by Joël Riou).
1003 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1004 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1005 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1006 - shaved off some code segment size.
1007 - various code cleanups.
1008 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1009
1010 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1011 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1012 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1013 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1014 -pixmap is active.
1015 - new option/resource imFont.
1016 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1017 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1018 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1019 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1020 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1021 (WU Fengguang).
1022 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1023 examples (rxvt.1).
1024 - removed src/test completely.
1025 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1026
1027 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1028 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1029 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1030 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1031 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1032 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1033 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1034 resulting in segfaults.
1035 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1036 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1037 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1038 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1039 (Mikael Magnusson).
1040 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1041 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1042 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1043 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1044 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1045 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1046 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1047 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1048 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1049 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1050 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1051 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1052 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1053
1054 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1055 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1056 black on initial startup.
1057 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1058 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1059 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1060 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1061 additional multimedia keys.
1062 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1063 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1064
1065 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1066 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1067 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1068 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1069 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1070 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1071 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1072 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1073 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1074 ignored.
1075 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1076 instead.
1077 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1078 (reported by hednod).
1079 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1080 - fix atom name enumeration.
1081
1082 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1083 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1084 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1085 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1086 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1087 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1088
1089 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1090 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1091 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1092 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1093 titles etc.
1094 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1095 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1096 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1097 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1098 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1099 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1100 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1101 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1102 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1103 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1104 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1105 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1106 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1107 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1108
1109 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1110 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1111 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1112 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1113 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1114 thoroughly.
1115 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1116 now, too.
1117
1118 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1119 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1120 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1121 on high-latency networks.
1122 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1123 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1124 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1125 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1126 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1127 by Gunnar Ritter.
1128 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1129 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1130
1131 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1132 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1133 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1134 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1135 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1136 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1137 - add compile fix for darwin.
1138 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1139 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1140 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1141
1142 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1143 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1144 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1145 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1146 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1147 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1148 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1149 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1150 ... terminated by a fix.
1151 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1152 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1153 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1154 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1155 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1156 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1157 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1158 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1159 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1160 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1161 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1162 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1163 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1164 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1165 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1166 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1167 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1168 in tracking this down.
1169 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1170 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1171
1172 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1173 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1174 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1175
1176 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1177 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1178 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1179 installed if tic is available.
1180 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1181 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1182 - removed README.unicode.
1183 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1184 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1185 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1186 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1187 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1188 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1189 screen updates with curses.
1190 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1191 by spaces.
1192 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1193 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1194 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1195 is just too slow for this to work.
1196 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1197 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1198 implement. use --enable-styles.
1199 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1200 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1201 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1202 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1203 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1204 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1205 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1206 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1207 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1208 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1209 (only for non-bold right now).
1210 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1211 - better default font size and style.
1212 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1213 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1214 single character against the base font extents and will only
1215 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1216 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1217 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1218 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1219 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1220 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1221 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1222 screen height.
1223 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1224 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1225 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1226 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1227 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1228 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1229 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1230 - removed OSC 702.
1231 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1232 confused by it rather than using it.
1233
1234 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1235 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1236 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1237 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1238 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1239 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1240 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1241 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1242 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1243 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1244 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1245 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1246 close).
1247 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1248 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1249 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1250 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1251 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1252 could not be created.
1253 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1254 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1255 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1256 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1257 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1258 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1259 works.
1260 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1261 - document more escape sequences.
1262 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1263 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1264 character is a sensible operation.
1265 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1266 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1267 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1268 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1269 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1270 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1271 with selections).
1272
1273 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1274 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1275 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1276 needs access to a local shell window).
1277 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1278 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1279 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1280 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1281 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1282 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1283 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1284 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1285 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1286 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1287 added there.
1288 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1289 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1290 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1291 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1292 instead of being ignored.
1293 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1294 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1295 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1296 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1297 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1298 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1299 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1300 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1301 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1302 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1303 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1304 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1305 needs testing anyways.
1306 - more complete compile options help output.
1307 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1308 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1309 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1310 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1311 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1312 - minor doc fix.
1313
1314 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1315 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1316 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1317 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1318 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1319 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1320 memmove :)
1321 - minor cleanups.
1322 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1323 (debian bug #169415).
1324 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1325 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1326 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1327 - updated config.guess.
1328
1329 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1330 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1331 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1332 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1333 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1334 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1335 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1336 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1337 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1338 - various other optimizations.
1339 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1340
1341 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1342 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1343 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1344 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1345 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1346 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1347 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1348 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1349 Mikael Magnusson).
1350 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1351 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1352 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1353
1354 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1355 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1356 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1357 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1358 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1359 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1360 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1361 with ^V (SYN).
1362 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1363
1364 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1365 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1366 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1367 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1368 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1369 well as with other terminal emulators.
1370 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1371 (reported by elmex).
1372 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1373 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1374 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1375 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1376 Bloch.
1377
1378 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1379 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1380 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1381 sorry).
1382 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1383 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1384
1385 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1386 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1387 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1388 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1389
1390 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1391 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1392 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1393 - fix some minor bugs.
1394
1395 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1396 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1397 for the keymappings.
1398 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1399 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1400 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1401 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1402 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1403 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1404 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1405 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1406 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1407 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1408 overwritten (as is common).
1409 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1410 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1411
1412 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1413 - minor doc corrections.
1414 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1415 avoid clashes with xterm.
1416 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1417 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1418 window colour when arg is "?".
1419 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1420 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1421 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1422 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1423 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1424 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1425 (FRILLS).
1426 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1427 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1428 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1429 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1430
1431 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1432 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1433 - support more 8-bit controls.
1434 - more informative error messages.
1435 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1436 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1437 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1438 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1439 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1440
1441 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1442 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1443 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1444 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1445 - removed old selection style completely.
1446 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1447 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1448 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1449 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1450 be used from within rxvt.
1451 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1452
1453 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1454 - code cleanup release.
1455 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1456 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1457 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1458 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1459 all files.
1460 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1461 --enable-xgetdefault.
1462
1463 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1464 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1465 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1466 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1467 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1468 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1469 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1470 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1471 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1472 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1473 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1474 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1475 --disable-xgetdefault.
1476 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1477 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1478 unicode character.
1479 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1480 get it wrong.
1481 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1482
1483 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1484 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1485 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1486 settings.
1487 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1488 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1489 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1490 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1491 mbrtowc.
1492 - more robust encoding name matching.
1493 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1494 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1495 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1496 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1497 resources and docs.
1498 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1499
1500 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1501 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1502 - some doc cleanup
1503 - configure cleanup
1504 - viscii enabled by default
1505 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1506
1507 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1508 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1509
1510 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1511 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1512 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1513 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1514 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1515 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1516 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1517 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1518 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1519 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1520 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1521 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1522 reported by joel reed.
1523 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1524 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1525 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1526 being selected.
1527 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1528 - removed greek support.
1529 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1530 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1531 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1532 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1533 contributed.
1534 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1535 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1536 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1537 - many other minor bugfixes.
1538
1539 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1540 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1541 new bugs, this should not change much.
1542 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1543 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1544 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1545 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1546 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1547 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1548 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1549
1550 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1551 - further cleanups.
1552 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1553 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1554 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1555 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1556 please drop me a note.
1557
1558 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1559 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1560 - blinking text.
1561 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1562 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1563 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1564 was never implemented
1565
1566 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1567 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1568 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1569 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1570 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1571 reported by fefe
1572 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1573 Markus Demleitner
1574 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1575 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1576 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1577
1578 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1579 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1580 - small font tunings
1581 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1582 - better error reporting for unknown options
1583
1584 1.3 2003-12-26
1585 - fix a bug in font height selection
1586 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1587 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1588 - much faster x11 font selection
1589
1590 1.2 2003-12-24
1591 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1592 - better font matching
1593 - better memory management (less memory)
1594 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1595
1596 1.1 2003-12-18
1597 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1598 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1599 - much improved font choosing
1600
1601 1.0 2003-12-18
1602 - first release
1603 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1604 - removed rclock et al.
1605 - initial conversion to C++
1606
