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 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
25 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
26 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
27 Sung Pae).
28
29 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
30 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
31 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
32 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
33 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
34 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
35 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
36 to disable both scaling and tiling.
37 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
38 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
39 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
40 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
41 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
42 in the next release.
43 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
44 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
45 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
46 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
47 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
49 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
50 Filardo).
51 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
52 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
53 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
54 the cell size.
55 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
56 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
57 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
58 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
59 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
60 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
61 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
62 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
63 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
64 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
65 (Bob Farrell).
66 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
67 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
68 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
69 Pohlack).
70 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
71 Michael Stapelberg).
72 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
73 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
74 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
75 edge (Mikachu).
76 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
77 handle exceptions better.
78 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
79 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80
81 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
82 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
83 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
84 support the UTF8_STRING target.
85 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
86 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
87 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
88 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
90 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
91 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
92 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
93 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
94 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
95
96 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
97 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
98 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
99 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
100 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
101 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
102 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
104 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
105 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
106 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
107 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
108 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
109 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
110 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
111 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
112 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
113 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
114 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
115 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
116 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
117 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
118 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
119 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
121 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
122 with gcc.
123 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
125 - document 'thickness' resource.
126 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
127 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
128 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
129 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
130 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
131 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
132 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
133 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
134 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
135 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
136 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
137
138 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
139 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
140 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
141 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
142 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
143 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
144 failures with gcc 4.5.
145 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
146 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
147 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
148 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
149 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
150 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
151 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
152 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
153 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
154 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
155 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
156 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
157 and has fewer limitations.
158 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
159 startup for the upper left corner.
160 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
161 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
162 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
163 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
164 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
165 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
166 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
168 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
169 - fix build on XFree86.
170 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
171 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
172 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
173 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
174
175 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
176 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
177 - the bestest release ever.
178 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
179 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
180 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
182 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
183 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
184 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
185 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
186 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
187 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
188 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
189 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
190 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
191 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
192 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
193 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
194 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
195 characters other than first one in the selected cell
196 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
197 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
198 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
199 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
200 (found by Mikachu).
201 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
202 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
203 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
204 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
205 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
206 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
207 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
208 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
210 for 256 colours.
211 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
212 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
213 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
214 88*88 possible pairs.
215 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
216 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
217 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
218 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
219 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
220 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
221 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
222 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
223 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
224 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
225 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
226 backspacekey was given.
227 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
228 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
229 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
230 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
231 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
232 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
233
234 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
235 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
236 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
237 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
238 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
239 Mikachu).
240 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
241 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
242 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
243 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
244 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
245 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
246 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
247 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
248 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
249 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
250 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
251 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
252 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
253 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
254 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
255 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
256 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
257 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
258 - update to libptytty 1.3.
259 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
260 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
261 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
263 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
264 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
265 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
266 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
267 in need of fixing. go figure.
268 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
269 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
270 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
271 the new ->selection_screen method.
272 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
273 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
274 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
275 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
276 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
277 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
278
279 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
280 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
281 - updates libev to 3.48.
282 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
283 when a window was closed.
284 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
285 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
286 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
287 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
288 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
289 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
290 makes copy&paste work.
291 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
292 no longer apply.
293 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
294 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
295 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
296 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
297 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
298 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
299 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
300 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
301 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
302 the only known workaround.
303 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
304 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
305 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
306 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
307 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
308 disabling size hints.
309 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
310 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
311 as mouse reporting.
312 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
313 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
314 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
315 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
316 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
317 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
318 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
319 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
320 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
321 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
322 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
323 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
324
325 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
326 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
327 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
328 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
329 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
330 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
331 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
332 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
333 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
334 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
335 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
336 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
337 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
338 help working window managers as well.
339 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
340 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
341 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
342 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
343 from the toplevel window to the children.
344 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
345 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
346 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
347 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
348
349 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
350 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
351 - fix build with !xft.
352 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
353
354 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
355 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
356 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
357 received" problem, again :)
358 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
359
360 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
361 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
362 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
363 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
364 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
365 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
366 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
367 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
368 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
369 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
370 channels or background images are used.
371 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
372 till the first event arrives. or so.
373 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
374 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
375 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
376 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
377 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
378 resets the terminal.
379 - scrollbar code cleanups.
380 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
381 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
382 - updated to libev 3.0.
383
384 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
385 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
386 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
387 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
388 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
389 would not clear it visually in another.
390 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
391 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
392 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
393 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
394 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
395 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
396
397 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
398 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
399 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
400 effects.
401 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
402 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
403 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
404 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
405 text was visible.
406 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
407 some minor improvements.
408 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
409 display and not once per terminal window.
410 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
411
412 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
413 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
414 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
415 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
416
417 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
418 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
419 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
420 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
421 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
422 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
423 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
424 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
425
426 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
427 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
428
429 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
430 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
431 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
432 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
433 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
434 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
435 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
436 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
437 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
438 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
439 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
440 - parallel builds should work once more.
441
442 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
443 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
444 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
445 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
446 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
447 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
448 missing DISPLAY.
449 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
450 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
451 - updated io_manager.
452
453 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
454 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
455 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
456 /usr/X11R6/lib.
457 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
458 patch by Sasha Vasko.
459 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
460 (patch by Philip Paeps).
461 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
462 (patch by Mikachu).
463 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
464 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
465 digit (exg).
466 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
467 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
468 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
469 extension (tpope).
470 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
471 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
472 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
473 problems.
474
475 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
476 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
477 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
478 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
479 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
480 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
481 (found by Aiviru).
482 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
483 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
484 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
485 case to work around for :/
486 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
487 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
488 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
489 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
490 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
491 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
492 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
493 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
494 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
495 Paskevich).
496 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
497 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
498 - update libptytty.
499 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
500 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
501 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
502 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
503 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
504 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
505 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
506 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
507 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
508
509 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
510 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
511 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
512 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
513 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
514 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
515 Reported by Takano Akio.
516 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
517 reported by exg.
518 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
519 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
520 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
521 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
522
523 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
524 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
525 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
526 circumstances (reported by exg).
527 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
528 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
529 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
530 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
531 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
532 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
533 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
534 - update to libptytty-1.0.
535 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
536 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
537 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
538 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
539 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
540 bug #143985).
541 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
542 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
543 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
544 - manpage fix by exg.
545
546 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
547 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
548 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
549 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
550 it does! :->
551 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
552 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
553
554 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
555 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
556 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
557 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
558 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
559 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
560 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
561 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
562 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
563 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
564 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
565 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
566 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
567 uppercase character.
568 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
569 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
570 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
571 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
572 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
573 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
574 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
575 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
576 generic osc_seq.
577 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
578 were invoked recursively.
579 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
580 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
581 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
582 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
583 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
584 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
585 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
586 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
587 by omatunto_.
588 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
589 follow C++ closely enough.
590 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
591 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
592 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
593 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
594
595 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
596 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
597 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
598 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
599 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
600 click, and eats the click.
601 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
602 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
603 refresh bugs please.
604 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
605 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
606 improve size hint setting.
607 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
608 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
609 to correctly position their preedit window.
610 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
611 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
612 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
613 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
614 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
615 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
616 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
617 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
618 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
619 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
620 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
621 (reported by Paco-Paco).
622 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
623 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
624 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
625
626 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
627 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
628 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
629 resource value.
630 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
631 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
632 relevant tab window.
633 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
634 (initial patch by hednod).
635 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
636 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
637 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
638 the benefit of automove-background.
639 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
640 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
641 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
642 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
643 __linux__.
644 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
645 the colour components.
646 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
647 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
648 - more colour rtt optimisations.
649 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
650 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
651 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
652 - minor libptytty update.
653
654 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
655 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
656 detection:
657 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
658 - overlap detection was improved.
659 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
660 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
661 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
662 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
663 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
664 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
665 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
666 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
667 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
668 broken.
669 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
670 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
671 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
672 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
673 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
674 (patch by Paco-Paco).
675 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
676 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
677 an "[alpha]" prefix.
678 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
679 transparent. Long Live Xft!
680 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
681 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
682 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
683 on a pseudocolor screen.
684 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
685 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
686 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
687 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
688 - small configure updates.
689 - further RTT optimisations.
690 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
691 the debian package.
692 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
693 but much newer than the old one.
694
695 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
696 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
697 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
698 - small configure updates for libptytty.
699 - fixed version options: line output.
700 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
701
702 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
703 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
704 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
705 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
706 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
707 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
708 selection extension.
709 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
710 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
711 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
712 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
713 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
714 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
715 needs the careful rendering mode.
716 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
717 too wide and needs careful mode.
718 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
719 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
720 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
721 atoms only once per display.
722 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
723 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
724 xterm.
725
726 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
727 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
728 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
729 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
730 ctrl-shift-672c).
731 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
732 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
733 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
734 the primary screen.
735 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
736 could lead to an assertion failure.
737 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
738 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
739 via mouse clicks.
740 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
741 with shift - mouse button 2.
742 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
743 in non-synthetic events.
744 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
745 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
746 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
747 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
748 whole urxvt[d] process.
749 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
750 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
751 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
752 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
753
754 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
755 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
756 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
757 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
758 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
759 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
760 special privileges.
761 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
762 itself.
763 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
764 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
765 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
766 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
767 similar stuff.
768 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
769 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
770 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
771 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
772 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
773 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
774 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
775 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
776 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
777 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
778 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
779 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
780 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
781 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
782 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
783 to set the window title.
784 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
785 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
786 at the wrong time.
787 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
788 anymore.
789 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
790 - nuked QNX support.
791 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
792 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
793 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
794 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
795
796 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
797 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
798 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
799 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
800 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
801 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
802 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
803 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
804 and much much more.
805 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
806 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
807 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
808 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
809 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
810 setuid/setgid.
811 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
812 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
813 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
814 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
815 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
816 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
817 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
818 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
819 compatible, and not really small either.
820 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
821 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
822 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
823 to crashes.
824 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
825 colours.
826 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
827 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
828
829 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
830 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
831 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
832 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
833 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
834 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
835 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
836 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
837 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
838 by Mikachu).
839 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
840 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
841 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
842 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
843 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
844 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
845 - fix directory permissions on install.
846 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
847 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
848 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
849 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
850 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
851
852 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
853 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
854 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
855 Chuck Blake.
856 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
857 obscure the mouse cursor position.
858 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
859 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
860 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
861 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
862 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
863 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
864 transfer efficiency.
865 - further minor cleanups.
866
867 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
868 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
869 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
870 while the user still drags.
871 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
872 not drawn correctly.
873 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
874 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
875 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
876 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
877 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
878 stripping whitespace.
879 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
880 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
881
882 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
883 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
884 - enable slow link support by default.
885 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
886 (also a bug in original rxvt).
887 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
888 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
889 partial patch).
890 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
891 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
892 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
893 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
894 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
895 - implement -hold option.
896 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
897 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
898 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
899 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
900 - slight overall speed improvements.
901 - considerably improved code clarity.
902 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
903 buffer.
904
905 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
906 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
907 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
908 (matters only for rxvtd).
909 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
910 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
911 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
912
913 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
914 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
915 If you want the old behaviour, try:
916 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
917 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
918 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
919 percentage by 100-percentage.
920 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
921 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
922 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
923 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
924 windows.
925 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
926 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
927 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
928 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
929 - replaced INSTALL file.
930
931 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
932 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
933 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
934 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
935 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
936 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
937 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
938 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
939 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
940
941 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
942 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
943 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
944 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
945 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
946 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
947 Affects display in iso14755 box.
948 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
949 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
950 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
951 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
952 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
953 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
954 cutting pieces off of characters.
955 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
956 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
957 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
958 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
959 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
960 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
961 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
962
963 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
964 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
965 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
966 meaning of the given key.
967 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
968 (patch by Martin Edlman).
969
970 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
971 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
972 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
973 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
974 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
975 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
976 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
977 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
978 to disable it.
979
980 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
981 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
982 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
983 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
984 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
985 with modifiers.
986 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
987 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
988 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
989 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
990 and clear the scrollback buffer.
991
992 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
993 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
994 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
995 a command.
996 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
997 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
998 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
999 in Perl/Gtk2.
1000 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1001 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1002 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1003 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1004 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1005 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1006 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1007 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1008 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1009 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1010 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1011 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1012 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1013 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1014 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1015 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1016 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1017 rxvt-unicode).
1018 - get rid of the intpro files.
1019
1020 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1021 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1022 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1023 (Kuang-che Wu).
1024 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1025 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1026 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1027 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1028 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1029 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1030 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1031 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1032 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1033 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1034 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1035 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1036
1037 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1038 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1039 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1040 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1041 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1042 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1043 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1044 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1045 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1046 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1047 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1048 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1049 by Joël Riou).
1050 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1051 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1052 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1053 - shaved off some code segment size.
1054 - various code cleanups.
1055 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1056
1057 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1058 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1059 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1060 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1061 -pixmap is active.
1062 - new option/resource imFont.
1063 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1064 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1065 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1066 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1067 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1068 (WU Fengguang).
1069 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1070 examples (rxvt.1).
1071 - removed src/test completely.
1072 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1073
1074 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1075 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1076 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1077 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1078 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1079 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1080 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1081 resulting in segfaults.
1082 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1083 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1084 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1085 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1086 (Mikael Magnusson).
1087 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1088 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1089 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1090 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1091 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1092 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1093 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1094 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1095 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1096 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1097 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1098 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1099 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1100
1101 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1102 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1103 black on initial startup.
1104 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1105 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1106 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1107 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1108 additional multimedia keys.
1109 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1110 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1111
1112 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1113 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1114 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1115 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1116 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1117 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1118 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1119 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1120 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1121 ignored.
1122 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1123 instead.
1124 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1125 (reported by hednod).
1126 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1127 - fix atom name enumeration.
1128
1129 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1130 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1131 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1132 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1133 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1134 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1135
1136 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1137 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1138 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1139 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1140 titles etc.
1141 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1142 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1143 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1144 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1145 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1146 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1147 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1148 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1149 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1150 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1151 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1152 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1153 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1154 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1155
1156 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1157 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1158 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1159 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1160 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1161 thoroughly.
1162 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1163 now, too.
1164
1165 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1166 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1167 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1168 on high-latency networks.
1169 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1170 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1171 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1172 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1173 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1174 by Gunnar Ritter.
1175 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1176 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1177
1178 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1179 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1180 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1181 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1182 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1183 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1184 - add compile fix for darwin.
1185 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1186 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1187 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1188
1189 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1190 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1191 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1192 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1193 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1194 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1195 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1196 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1197 ... terminated by a fix.
1198 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1199 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1200 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1201 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1202 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1203 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1204 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1205 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1206 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1207 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1208 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1209 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1210 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1211 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1212 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1213 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1214 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1215 in tracking this down.
1216 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1217 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1218
1219 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1220 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1221 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1222
1223 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1224 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1225 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1226 installed if tic is available.
1227 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1228 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1229 - removed README.unicode.
1230 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1231 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1232 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1233 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1234 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1235 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1236 screen updates with curses.
1237 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1238 by spaces.
1239 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1240 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1241 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1242 is just too slow for this to work.
1243 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1244 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1245 implement. use --enable-styles.
1246 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1247 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1248 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1249 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1250 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1251 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1252 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1253 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1254 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1255 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1256 (only for non-bold right now).
1257 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1258 - better default font size and style.
1259 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1260 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1261 single character against the base font extents and will only
1262 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1263 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1264 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1265 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1266 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1267 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1268 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1269 screen height.
1270 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1271 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1272 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1273 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1274 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1275 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1276 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1277 - removed OSC 702.
1278 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1279 confused by it rather than using it.
1280
1281 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1282 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1283 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1284 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1285 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1286 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1287 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1288 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1289 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1290 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1291 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1292 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1293 close).
1294 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1295 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1296 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1297 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1298 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1299 could not be created.
1300 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1301 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1302 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1303 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1304 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1305 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1306 works.
1307 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1308 - document more escape sequences.
1309 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1310 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1311 character is a sensible operation.
1312 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1313 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1314 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1315 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1316 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1317 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1318 with selections).
1319
1320 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1321 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1322 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1323 needs access to a local shell window).
1324 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1325 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1326 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1327 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1328 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1329 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1330 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1331 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1332 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1333 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1334 added there.
1335 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1336 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1337 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1338 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1339 instead of being ignored.
1340 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1341 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1342 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1343 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1344 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1345 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1346 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1347 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1348 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1349 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1350 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1351 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1352 needs testing anyways.
1353 - more complete compile options help output.
1354 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1355 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1356 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1357 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1358 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1359 - minor doc fix.
1360
1361 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1362 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1363 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1364 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1365 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1366 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1367 memmove :)
1368 - minor cleanups.
1369 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1370 (debian bug #169415).
1371 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1372 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1373 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1374 - updated config.guess.
1375
1376 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1377 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1378 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1379 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1380 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1381 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1382 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1383 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1384 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1385 - various other optimizations.
1386 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1387
1388 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1389 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1390 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1391 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1392 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1393 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1394 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1395 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1396 Mikael Magnusson).
1397 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1398 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1399 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1400
1401 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1402 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1403 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1404 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1405 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1406 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1407 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1408 with ^V (SYN).
1409 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1410
1411 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1412 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1413 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1414 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1415 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1416 well as with other terminal emulators.
1417 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1418 (reported by elmex).
1419 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1420 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1421 the window relative to its frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1422 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1423 Bloch.
1424
1425 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1426 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1427 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1428 sorry).
1429 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1430 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1431
1432 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1433 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1434 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1435 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1436
1437 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1438 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1439 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1440 - fix some minor bugs.
1441
1442 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1443 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1444 for the keymappings.
1445 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1446 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1447 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1448 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1449 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1450 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1451 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1452 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1453 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1454 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1455 overwritten (as is common).
1456 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1457 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1458
1459 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1460 - minor doc corrections.
1461 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1462 avoid clashes with xterm.
1463 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1464 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1465 window colour when arg is "?".
1466 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1467 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1468 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1469 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1470 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1471 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1472 (FRILLS).
1473 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1474 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1475 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1476 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1477
1478 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1479 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1480 - support more 8-bit controls.
1481 - more informative error messages.
1482 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1483 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1484 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1485 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1486 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1487
1488 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1489 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1490 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1491 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1492 - removed old selection style completely.
1493 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1494 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1495 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1496 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1497 be used from within rxvt.
1498 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1499
1500 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1501 - code cleanup release.
1502 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1503 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1504 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1505 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1506 all files.
1507 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1508 --enable-xgetdefault.
1509
1510 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1511 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1512 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1513 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1514 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1515 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1516 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1517 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1518 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1519 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1520 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1521 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1522 --disable-xgetdefault.
1523 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1524 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1525 unicode character.
1526 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1527 get it wrong.
1528 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1529
1530 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1531 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1532 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1533 settings.
1534 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1535 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1536 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1537 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1538 mbrtowc.
1539 - more robust encoding name matching.
1540 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1541 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1542 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1543 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1544 resources and docs.
1545 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1546
1547 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1548 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1549 - some doc cleanup
1550 - configure cleanup
1551 - viscii enabled by default
1552 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1553
1554 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1555 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1556
1557 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1558 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1559 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1560 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1561 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1562 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1563 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1564 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1565 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1566 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1567 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1568 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1569 reported by joel reed.
1570 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1571 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1572 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1573 being selected.
1574 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1575 - removed greek support.
1576 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1577 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1578 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1579 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1580 contributed.
1581 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1582 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1583 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1584 - many other minor bugfixes.
1585
1586 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1587 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1588 new bugs, this should not change much.
1589 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1590 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1591 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1592 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1593 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1594 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1595 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1596
1597 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1598 - further cleanups.
1599 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1600 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1601 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1602 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1603 please drop me a note.
1604
1605 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1606 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1607 - blinking text.
1608 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1609 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1610 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1611 was never implemented
1612
1613 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1614 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1615 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1616 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1617 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1618 reported by fefe
1619 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1620 Markus Demleitner
1621 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1622 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1623 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1624
1625 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1626 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1627 - small font tunings
1628 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1629 - better error reporting for unknown options
1630
1631 1.3 2003-12-26
1632 - fix a bug in font height selection
1633 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1634 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1635 - much faster x11 font selection
1636
1637 1.2 2003-12-24
1638 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1639 - better font matching
1640 - better memory management (less memory)
1641 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1642
1643 1.1 2003-12-18
1644 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1645 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1646 - much improved font choosing
1647
1648 1.0 2003-12-18
1649 - first release
1650 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1651 - removed rclock et al.
1652 - initial conversion to C++
1653
