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 TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
23
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 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
28 been removed in favour of simple composable operations and
29 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
30 settings. Old operations are still parsed for backward
31 compatibility (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
33 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
34 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
35 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
36 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
37 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
38 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
39 Filardo).
40 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
41 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
42 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
43 the cell size.
44 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
45 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
46 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
48 - Fix compilation on systems with bsd style utmp and no utmpx,
49 such as openbsd.
50 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
51 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
52 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
53 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
54 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
55 (Bob Farrell).
56 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
57 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
58 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
59 Pohlack).
60 - Support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
61 Michael Stapelberg).
62 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
63
64 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
65 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
66 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
67 support the UTF8_STRING target.
68 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
69 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
70 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
71 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
72 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
73 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
74 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
75 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
76 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
77 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
78
79 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
80 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
81 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
82 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
83 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
84 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
85 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
86 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
87 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
88 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
89 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
90 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
91 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
92 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
93 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
94 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
95 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
96 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
97 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
98 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
99 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
100 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
101 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
102 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
104 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
105 with gcc.
106 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
108 - document 'thickness' resource.
109 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
110 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
111 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
112 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
113 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
115 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
116 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
117 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
118 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
119 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
120
121 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
122 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
124 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
126 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
127 failures with gcc 4.5.
128 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
129 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
130 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
131 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
132 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
133 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
134 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
135 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
136 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
137 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
138 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
139 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
140 and has fewer limitations.
141 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
142 startup for the upper left corner.
143 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
144 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
145 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
147 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
148 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
149 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
150 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
151 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
152 - fix build on XFree86.
153 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
154 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
155 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
156 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
157
158 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
159 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
160 - the bestest release ever.
161 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
162 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
163 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
164 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
165 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
166 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
169 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
170 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
171 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
172 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
173 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
174 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
175 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
176 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
177 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
178 characters other than first one in the selected cell
179 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
180 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
181 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
182 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
183 (found by Mikachu).
184 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
185 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
186 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
187 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
188 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
189 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
191 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
193 for 256 colours.
194 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
195 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
196 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
197 88*88 possible pairs.
198 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
199 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
200 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
201 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
202 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
203 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
204 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
205 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
206 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
207 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
208 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
209 backspacekey was given.
210 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
211 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
212 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
213 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
214 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
215 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
216
217 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
218 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
219 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
220 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
221 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
222 Mikachu).
223 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
224 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
225 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
226 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
227 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
228 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
229 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
231 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
232 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
233 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
234 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
235 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
236 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
237 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
238 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
239 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
240 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
241 - update to libptytty 1.3.
242 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
243 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
244 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
245 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
246 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
247 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
248 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
249 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
250 in need of fixing. go figure.
251 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
252 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
253 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
254 the new ->selection_screen method.
255 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
256 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
257 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
258 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
259 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
260 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
261
262 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
263 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
264 - updates libev to 3.48.
265 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
266 when a window was closed.
267 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
268 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
269 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
270 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
271 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
272 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
273 makes copy&paste work.
274 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
275 no longer apply.
276 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
277 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
278 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
279 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
280 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
281 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
282 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
283 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
284 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
285 the only known workaround.
286 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
287 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
288 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
289 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
290 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
291 disabling size hints.
292 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
293 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
294 as mouse reporting.
295 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
296 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
297 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
298 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
299 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
300 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
301 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
302 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
303 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
304 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
305 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
306 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
307
308 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
309 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
310 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
311 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
312 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
313 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
314 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
315 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
316 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
317 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
318 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
319 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
320 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
321 help working window managers as well.
322 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
323 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
324 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
325 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
326 from the toplevel window to the children.
327 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
328 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
329 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
330 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
331
332 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
333 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
334 - fix build with !xft.
335 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
336
337 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
338 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
339 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
340 received" problem, again :)
341 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
342
343 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
344 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
345 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
346 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
347 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
348 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
349 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
350 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
351 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
352 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
353 channels or background images are used.
354 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
355 till the first event arrives. or so.
356 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
357 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
358 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
359 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
360 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
361 resets the terminal.
362 - scrollbar code cleanups.
363 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
364 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
365 - updated to libev 3.0.
366
367 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
368 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
369 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
370 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
371 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
372 would not clear it visually in another.
373 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
374 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
375 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
376 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
377 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
378 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
379
380 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
381 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
382 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
383 effects.
384 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
385 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
386 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
387 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
388 text was visible.
389 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
390 some minor improvements.
391 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
392 display and not once per terminal window.
393 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
394
395 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
396 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
397 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
398 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
399
400 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
401 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
402 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
403 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
404 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
405 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
406 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
407 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
408
409 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
410 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
411
412 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
413 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
414 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
415 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
416 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
417 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
418 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
419 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
420 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
421 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
422 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
423 - parallel builds should work once more.
424
425 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
426 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
427 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
428 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
429 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
430 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
431 missing DISPLAY.
432 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
433 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
434 - updated io_manager.

436 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
437 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
438 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
439 /usr/X11R6/lib.
440 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
441 patch by Sasha Vasko.
442 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
443 (patch by Philip Paeps).
444 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
445 (patch by Mikachu).
446 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
447 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
448 digit (exg).
449 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
450 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
451 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
452 extension (tpope).
453 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
454 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
455 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
456 problems.
457
458 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
459 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
460 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
461 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
462 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
463 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
464 (found by Aiviru).
465 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
466 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
467 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
468 case to work around for :/
469 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
470 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
471 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
472 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
473 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
474 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
475 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
476 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
477 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
478 Paskevich).
479 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
480 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
481 - update libptytty.
482 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
483 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
484 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
485 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
486 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
487 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
488 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
489 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
490 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
491
492 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
493 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
494 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
495 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
496 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
497 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
498 Reported by Takano Akio.
499 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
500 reported by exg.
501 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
502 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
503 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
504 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
505
506 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
507 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
508 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
509 circumstances (reported by exg).
510 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
511 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
512 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
513 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
514 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
515 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
516 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
517 - update to libptytty-1.0.
518 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
519 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
520 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
521 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
522 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
523 bug #143985).
524 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
525 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
526 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
527 - manpage fix by exg.
528
529 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
530 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
531 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
532 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
533 it does! :->
534 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
535 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
536
537 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
538 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
539 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
540 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
541 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
542 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
543 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
544 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
545 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
546 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
547 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
548 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
549 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
550 uppercase character.
551 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
552 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
553 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
554 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
555 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
556 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
557 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
558 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
559 generic osc_seq.
560 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
561 were invoked recursively.
562 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
563 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
564 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
565 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
566 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
567 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
568 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
569 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
570 by omatunto_.
571 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
572 follow C++ closely enough.
573 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
574 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
575 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
576 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
577
578 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
579 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
580 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
581 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
582 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
583 click, and eats the click.
584 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
585 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
586 refresh bugs please.
587 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
588 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
589 improve size hint setting.
590 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
591 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
592 to correctly position their preedit window.
593 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
594 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
595 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
596 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
597 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
598 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
599 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
600 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
601 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
602 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
603 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
604 (reported by Paco-Paco).
605 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
606 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
607 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
608
609 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
610 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
611 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
612 resource value.
613 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
614 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
615 relevant tab window.
616 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
617 (initial patch by hednod).
618 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
619 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
620 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
621 the benefit of automove-background.
622 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
623 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
624 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
625 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
626 __linux__.
627 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
628 the colour components.
629 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
630 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
631 - more colour rtt optimisations.
632 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
633 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
634 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
635 - minor libptytty update.
636
637 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
638 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
639 detection:
640 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
641 - overlap detection was improved.
642 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
643 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
644 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
645 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
646 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
647 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
648 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
649 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
650 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
651 broken.
652 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
653 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
654 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
655 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
656 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
657 (patch by Paco-Paco).
658 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
659 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
660 an "[alpha]" prefix.
661 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
662 transparent. Long Live Xft!
663 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
664 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
665 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
666 on a pseudocolor screen.
667 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
668 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
669 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
670 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
671 - small configure updates.
672 - further RTT optimisations.
673 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
674 the debian package.
675 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
676 but much newer than the old one.
677
678 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
679 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
680 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
681 - small configure updates for libptytty.
682 - fixed version options: line output.
683 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
684
685 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
686 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
687 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
688 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
689 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
690 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
691 selection extension.
692 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
693 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
694 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
695 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
696 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
697 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
698 needs the careful rendering mode.
699 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
700 too wide and needs careful mode.
701 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
702 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
703 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
704 atoms only once per display.
705 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
706 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
707 xterm.
708
709 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
710 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
711 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
712 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
713 ctrl-shift-672c).
714 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
715 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
716 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
717 the primary screen.
718 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
719 could lead to an assertion failure.
720 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
721 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
722 via mouse clicks.
723 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
724 with shift - mouse button 2.
725 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
726 in non-synthetic events.
727 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
728 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
729 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
730 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
731 whole urxvt[d] process.
732 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
733 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
734 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
735 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
736
737 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
738 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
739 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
740 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
741 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
742 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
743 special privileges.
744 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
745 itself.
746 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
747 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
748 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
749 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
750 similar stuff.
751 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
752 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
753 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
754 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
755 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
756 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
757 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
758 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
759 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
760 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
761 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
762 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
763 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
764 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
765 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
766 to set the window title.
767 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
768 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
769 at the wrong time.
770 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
771 anymore.
772 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
773 - nuked QNX support.
774 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
775 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
776 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
777 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
778
779 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
780 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
781 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
782 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
783 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
784 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
785 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
786 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
787 and much much more.
788 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
789 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
790 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
791 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
792 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
793 setuid/setgid.
794 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
795 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
796 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
797 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
798 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
799 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
800 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
801 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
802 compatible, and not really small either.
803 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
804 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
805 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
806 to crashes.
807 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
808 colours.
809 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
810 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
811
812 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
813 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
814 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
815 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
816 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
817 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
818 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
819 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
820 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
821 by Mikachu).
822 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
823 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
824 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
825 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
826 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
827 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
828 - fix directory permissions on install.
829 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
830 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
831 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
832 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
833 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
834
835 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
836 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
837 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
838 Chuck Blake.
839 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
840 obscure the mouse cursor position.
841 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
842 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
843 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
844 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
845 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
846 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
847 transfer efficiency.
848 - further minor cleanups.
849
850 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
851 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
852 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
853 while the user still drags.
854 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
855 not drawn correctly.
856 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
857 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
858 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
859 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
860 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
861 stripping whitespace.
862 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
863 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
864
865 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
866 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
867 - enable slow link support by default.
868 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
869 (also a bug in original rxvt).
870 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
871 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
872 partial patch).
873 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
874 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
875 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
876 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
877 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
878 - implement -hold option.
879 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
880 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
881 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
882 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
883 - slight overall speed improvements.
884 - considerably improved code clarity.
885 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
886 buffer.
887
888 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
889 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
890 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
891 (matters only for rxvtd).
892 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
893 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
894 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
895
896 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
897 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
898 If you want the old behaviour, try:
899 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
900 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
901 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
902 percentage by 100-percentage.
903 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
904 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
905 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
906 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
907 windows.
908 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
909 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
910 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
911 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
912 - replaced INSTALL file.
913
914 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
915 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
916 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
917 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
918 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
919 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
920 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
921 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
922 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
923
924 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
925 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
926 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
927 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
928 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
929 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
930 Affects display in iso14755 box.
931 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
932 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
933 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
934 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
935 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
936 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
937 cutting pieces off of characters.
938 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
939 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
940 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
941 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
942 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
943 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
944 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
945
946 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
947 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
948 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
949 meaning of the given key.
950 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
951 (patch by Martin Edlman).
952
953 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
954 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
955 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
956 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
957 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
958 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
959 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
960 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
961 to disable it.
962
963 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
964 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
965 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
966 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
967 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
968 with modifiers.
969 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
970 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
971 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
972 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
973 and clear the scrollback buffer.
974
975 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
976 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
977 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
978 a command.
979 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
980 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
981 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
982 in Perl/Gtk2.
983 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
984 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
985 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
986 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
987 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
988 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
989 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
990 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
991 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
992 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
993 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
994 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
995 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
996 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
997 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
998 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
999 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1000 rxvt-unicode).
1001 - get rid of the intpro files.
1002
1003 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1004 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1005 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1006 (Kuang-che Wu).
1007 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1008 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1009 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1010 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1011 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1012 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1013 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1014 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1015 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1016 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1017 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1018 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1019
1020 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1021 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1022 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1023 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1024 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1025 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1026 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1027 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1028 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1029 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1030 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1031 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1032 by Joël Riou).
1033 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1034 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1035 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1036 - shaved off some code segment size.
1037 - various code cleanups.
1038 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1039
1040 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1041 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1042 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1043 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1044 -pixmap is active.
1045 - new option/resource imFont.
1046 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1047 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1048 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1049 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1050 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1051 (WU Fengguang).
1052 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1053 examples (rxvt.1).
1054 - removed src/test completely.
1055 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1056
1057 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1058 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1059 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1060 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1061 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1062 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1063 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1064 resulting in segfaults.
1065 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1066 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1067 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1068 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1069 (Mikael Magnusson).
1070 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1071 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1072 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1073 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1074 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1075 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1076 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1077 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1078 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
1079 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1080 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1081 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1082 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1083
1084 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1085 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1086 black on initial startup.
1087 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1088 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1089 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1090 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1091 additional multimedia keys.
1092 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1093 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1094
1095 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1096 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1097 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1098 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1099 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1100 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1101 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1102 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
1103 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1104 ignored.
1105 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1106 instead.
1107 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1108 (reported by hednod).
1109 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1110 - fix atom name enumeration.
1111
1112 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1113 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1114 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1115 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1116 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1117 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1118
1119 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1120 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1121 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1122 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1123 titles etc.
1124 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1125 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1126 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1127 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1128 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1129 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1130 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1131 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1132 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1133 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1134 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1135 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1136 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1137 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1138
1139 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1140 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1141 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1142 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1143 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1144 thoroughly.
1145 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1146 now, too.
1147
1148 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1149 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1150 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1151 on high-latency networks.
1152 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1153 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1154 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1155 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1156 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1157 by Gunnar Ritter.
1158 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1159 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1160
1161 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1162 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1163 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1164 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1165 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1166 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1167 - add compile fix for darwin.
1168 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1169 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1170 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1171
1172 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1173 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1174 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1175 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1176 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1177 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1178 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1179 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1180 ... terminated by a fix.
1181 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1182 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1183 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1184 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1185 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1186 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1187 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1188 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1189 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1190 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1191 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1192 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1193 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1194 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1195 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1196 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1197 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1198 in tracking this down.
1199 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1200 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1201
1202 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1203 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1204 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1205
1206 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1207 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1208 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1209 installed if tic is available.
1210 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1211 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1212 - removed README.unicode.
1213 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1214 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1215 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1216 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1217 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1218 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1219 screen updates with curses.
1220 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1221 by spaces.
1222 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1223 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1224 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1225 is just too slow for this to work.
1226 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1227 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1228 implement. use --enable-styles.
1229 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1230 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1231 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1232 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1233 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1234 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1235 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1236 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1237 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1238 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1239 (only for non-bold right now).
1240 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1241 - better default font size and style.
1242 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1243 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1244 single character against the base font extents and will only
1245 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1246 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1247 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1248 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1249 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1250 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1251 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1252 screen height.
1253 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1254 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1255 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1256 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1257 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1258 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1259 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1260 - removed OSC 702.
1261 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1262 confused by it rather than using it.
1263
1264 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1265 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1266 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1267 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1268 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1269 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1270 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1271 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1272 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1273 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1274 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1275 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1276 close).
1277 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1278 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1279 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1280 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1281 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1282 could not be created.
1283 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1284 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1285 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1286 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1287 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1288 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1289 works.
1290 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1291 - document more escape sequences.
1292 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1293 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1294 character is a sensible operation.
1295 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1296 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1297 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1298 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1299 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1300 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1301 with selections).
1302
1303 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1304 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1305 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1306 needs access to a local shell window).
1307 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1308 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1309 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1310 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1311 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1312 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1313 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1314 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1315 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1316 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1317 added there.
1318 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1319 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1320 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1321 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1322 instead of being ignored.
1323 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1324 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1325 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1326 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1327 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1328 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1329 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1330 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1331 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1332 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1333 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1334 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1335 needs testing anyways.
1336 - more complete compile options help output.
1337 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1338 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1339 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1340 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1341 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1342 - minor doc fix.
1343
1344 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1345 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1346 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1347 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1348 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1349 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1350 memmove :)
1351 - minor cleanups.
1352 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1353 (debian bug #169415).
1354 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1355 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1356 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1357 - updated config.guess.
1358
1359 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1360 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1361 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1362 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1363 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1364 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1365 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1366 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1367 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1368 - various other optimizations.
1369 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1370
1371 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1372 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1373 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1374 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1375 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1376 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1377 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1378 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1379 Mikael Magnusson).
1380 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1381 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1382 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1383
1384 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1385 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1386 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1387 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1388 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1389 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1390 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1391 with ^V (SYN).
1392 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1393
1394 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1395 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1396 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1397 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1398 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1399 well as with other terminal emulators.
1400 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1401 (reported by elmex).
1402 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1403 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1404 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1405 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1406 Bloch.
1407
1408 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1409 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1410 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1411 sorry).
1412 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1413 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1414
1415 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1416 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1417 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1418 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1419
1420 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1421 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1422 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1423 - fix some minor bugs.
1424
1425 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1426 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1427 for the keymappings.
1428 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1429 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1430 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1431 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1432 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1433 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1434 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1435 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1436 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1437 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1438 overwritten (as is common).
1439 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1440 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1441
1442 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1443 - minor doc corrections.
1444 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1445 avoid clashes with xterm.
1446 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1447 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1448 window colour when arg is "?".
1449 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1450 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1451 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1452 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1453 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1454 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1455 (FRILLS).
1456 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1457 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1458 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1459 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1460
1461 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1462 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1463 - support more 8-bit controls.
1464 - more informative error messages.
1465 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1466 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1467 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1468 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1469 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1470
1471 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1472 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1473 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1474 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1475 - removed old selection style completely.
1476 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1477 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1478 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1479 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1480 be used from within rxvt.
1481 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1482
1483 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1484 - code cleanup release.
1485 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1486 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1487 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1488 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1489 all files.
1490 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1491 --enable-xgetdefault.
1492
1493 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1494 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1495 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1496 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1497 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1498 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1499 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1500 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1501 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1502 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1503 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1504 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1505 --disable-xgetdefault.
1506 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1507 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1508 unicode character.
1509 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1510 get it wrong.
1511 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1512
1513 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1514 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1515 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1516 settings.
1517 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1518 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1519 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1520 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1521 mbrtowc.
1522 - more robust encoding name matching.
1523 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1524 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1525 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1526 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1527 resources and docs.
1528 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1529
1530 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1531 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1532 - some doc cleanup
1533 - configure cleanup
1534 - viscii enabled by default
1535 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1536
1537 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1538 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1539
1540 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1541 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1542 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1543 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1544 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1545 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1546 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1547 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1548 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1549 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1550 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1551 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1552 reported by joel reed.
1553 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1554 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1555 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1556 being selected.
1557 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1558 - removed greek support.
1559 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1560 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1561 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1562 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1563 contributed.
1564 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1565 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1566 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1567 - many other minor bugfixes.
1568
1569 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1570 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1571 new bugs, this should not change much.
1572 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1573 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1574 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1575 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1576 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1577 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1578 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1579
1580 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1581 - further cleanups.
1582 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1583 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1584 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1585 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1586 please drop me a note.
1587
1588 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1589 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1590 - blinking text.
1591 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1592 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1593 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1594 was never implemented
1595
1596 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1597 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1598 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1599 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1600 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1601 reported by fefe
1602 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1603 Markus Demleitner
1604 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1605 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1606 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1607
1608 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1609 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1610 - small font tunings
1611 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1612 - better error reporting for unknown options
1613
1614 1.3 2003-12-26
1615 - fix a bug in font height selection
1616 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1617 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1618 - much faster x11 font selection
1619
1620 1.2 2003-12-24
1621 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1622 - better font matching
1623 - better memory management (less memory)
1624 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1625
1626 1.1 2003-12-18
1627 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1628 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1629 - much improved font choosing
1630
1631 1.0 2003-12-18
1632 - first release
1633 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1634 - removed rclock et al.
1635 - initial conversion to C++
1636
