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 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
27 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
28 and destination in composite operations.
29 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
30 for tabs.
31 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
32 Sung Pae).
33
34 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
35 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
36 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
37 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
38 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
39 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
40 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
41 to disable both scaling and tiling.
42 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
43 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
44 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
45 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
46 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
47 in the next release.
48 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
49 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
50 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
51 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
52 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
54 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
55 Filardo).
56 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
57 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
58 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
59 the cell size.
60 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
61 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
62 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
64 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
65 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
66 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
67 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
68 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
69 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
70 (Bob Farrell).
71 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
72 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
73 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
74 Pohlack).
75 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
76 Michael Stapelberg).
77 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
78 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
79 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
80 edge (Mikachu).
81 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
82 handle exceptions better.
83 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
84 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
85
86 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
87 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
88 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
89 support the UTF8_STRING target.
90 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
91 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
92 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
93 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
95 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
96 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
97 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
98 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
99 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
100
101 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
102 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
103 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
104 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
105 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
106 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
107 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
109 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
110 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
111 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
112 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
113 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
114 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
115 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
116 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
117 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
118 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
119 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
120 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
121 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
122 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
123 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
124 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
126 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
127 with gcc.
128 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
130 - document 'thickness' resource.
131 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
132 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
133 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
134 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
135 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
137 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
138 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
139 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
140 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
141 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
142
143 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
144 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
145 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
146 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
147 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
148 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
149 failures with gcc 4.5.
150 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
151 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
152 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
153 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
154 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
155 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
156 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
157 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
158 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
159 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
160 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
161 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
162 and has fewer limitations.
163 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
164 startup for the upper left corner.
165 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
166 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
167 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
169 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
170 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
171 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
172 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
173 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
174 - fix build on XFree86.
175 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
176 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
177 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
178 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
179
180 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
181 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
182 - the bestest release ever.
183 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
184 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
185 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
186 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
187 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
188 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
191 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
193 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
194 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
195 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
196 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
197 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
198 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
199 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
200 characters other than first one in the selected cell
201 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
202 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
203 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
204 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
205 (found by Mikachu).
206 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
207 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
208 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
209 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
210 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
211 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
213 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
215 for 256 colours.
216 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
217 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
218 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
219 88*88 possible pairs.
220 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
221 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
222 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
223 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
224 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
225 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
226 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
227 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
228 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
229 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
230 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
231 backspacekey was given.
232 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
233 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
234 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
235 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
236 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
237 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
238
239 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
240 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
241 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
242 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
243 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
244 Mikachu).
245 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
246 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
247 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
248 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
249 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
250 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
251 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
253 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
254 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
255 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
256 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
257 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
258 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
259 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
260 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
261 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
262 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
263 - update to libptytty 1.3.
264 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
265 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
266 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
267 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
268 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
269 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
270 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
271 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
272 in need of fixing. go figure.
273 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
274 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
275 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
276 the new ->selection_screen method.
277 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
278 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
279 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
280 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
281 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
282 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
283
284 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
285 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
286 - updates libev to 3.48.
287 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
288 when a window was closed.
289 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
290 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
291 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
292 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
293 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
294 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
295 makes copy&paste work.
296 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
297 no longer apply.
298 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
299 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
300 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
301 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
302 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
303 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
304 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
305 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
306 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
307 the only known workaround.
308 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
309 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
310 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
311 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
312 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
313 disabling size hints.
314 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
315 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
316 as mouse reporting.
317 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
318 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
319 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
320 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
321 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
322 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
323 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
324 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
325 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
326 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
327 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
328 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
329
330 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
331 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
332 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
333 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
334 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
335 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
336 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
337 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
338 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
339 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
340 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
341 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
342 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
343 help working window managers as well.
344 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
345 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
346 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
347 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
348 from the toplevel window to the children.
349 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
350 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
351 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
352 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
353
354 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
355 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
356 - fix build with !xft.
357 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
358
359 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
360 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
361 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
362 received" problem, again :)
363 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
364
365 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
366 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
367 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
368 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
369 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
370 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
371 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
372 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
373 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
374 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
375 channels or background images are used.
376 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
377 till the first event arrives. or so.
378 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
379 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
380 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
381 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
382 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
383 resets the terminal.
384 - scrollbar code cleanups.
385 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
386 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
387 - updated to libev 3.0.
388
389 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
390 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
391 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
392 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
393 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
394 would not clear it visually in another.
395 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
396 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
397 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
398 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
399 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
400 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
401
402 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
403 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
404 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
405 effects.
406 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
407 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
408 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
409 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
410 text was visible.
411 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
412 some minor improvements.
413 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
414 display and not once per terminal window.
415 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
416
417 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
418 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
419 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
420 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
421
422 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
423 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
424 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
425 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
426 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
427 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
428 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
429 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
430
431 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
432 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
433
434 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
435 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
436 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
437 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
438 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
439 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
440 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
441 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
442 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
443 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
444 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
445 - parallel builds should work once more.
446
447 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
448 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
449 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
450 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
451 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
452 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
453 missing DISPLAY.
454 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
455 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
456 - updated io_manager.
457
458 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
459 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
460 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
461 /usr/X11R6/lib.
462 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
463 patch by Sasha Vasko.
464 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
465 (patch by Philip Paeps).
466 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
467 (patch by Mikachu).
468 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
469 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
470 digit (exg).
471 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
472 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
473 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
474 extension (tpope).
475 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
476 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
477 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
478 problems.
479
480 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
481 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
482 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
483 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
484 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
485 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
486 (found by Aiviru).
487 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
488 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
489 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
490 case to work around for :/
491 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
492 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
493 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
494 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
495 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
496 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
497 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
498 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
499 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
500 Paskevich).
501 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
502 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
503 - update libptytty.
504 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
505 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
506 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
507 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
508 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
509 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
510 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
511 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
512 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
513
514 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
515 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
516 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
517 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
518 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
519 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
520 Reported by Takano Akio.
521 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
522 reported by exg.
523 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
524 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
525 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
526 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
527
528 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
529 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
530 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
531 circumstances (reported by exg).
532 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
533 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
534 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
535 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
536 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
537 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
538 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
539 - update to libptytty-1.0.
540 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
541 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
542 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
543 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
544 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
545 bug #143985).
546 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
547 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
548 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
549 - manpage fix by exg.
550
551 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
552 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
553 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
554 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
555 it does! :->
556 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
557 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
558
559 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
560 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
561 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
562 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
563 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
564 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
565 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
566 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
567 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
568 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
569 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
570 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
571 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
572 uppercase character.
573 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
574 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
575 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
576 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
577 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
578 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
579 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
580 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
581 generic osc_seq.
582 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
583 were invoked recursively.
584 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
585 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
586 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
587 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
588 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
589 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
590 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
591 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
592 by omatunto_.
593 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
594 follow C++ closely enough.
595 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
596 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
597 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
598 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
599
600 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
601 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
602 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
603 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
604 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
605 click, and eats the click.
606 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
607 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
608 refresh bugs please.
609 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
610 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
611 improve size hint setting.
612 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
613 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
614 to correctly position their preedit window.
615 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
616 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
617 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
618 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
619 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
620 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
621 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
622 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
623 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
624 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
625 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
626 (reported by Paco-Paco).
627 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
628 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
629 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
630
631 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
632 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
633 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
634 resource value.
635 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
636 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
637 relevant tab window.
638 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
639 (initial patch by hednod).
640 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
641 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
642 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
643 the benefit of automove-background.
644 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
645 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
646 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
647 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
648 __linux__.
649 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
650 the colour components.
651 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
652 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
653 - more colour rtt optimisations.
654 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
655 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
656 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
657 - minor libptytty update.
658
659 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
660 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
661 detection:
662 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
663 - overlap detection was improved.
664 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
665 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
666 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
667 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
668 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
669 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
670 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
671 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
672 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
673 broken.
674 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
675 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
676 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
677 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
678 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
679 (patch by Paco-Paco).
680 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
681 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
682 an "[alpha]" prefix.
683 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
684 transparent. Long Live Xft!
685 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
686 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
687 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
688 on a pseudocolor screen.
689 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
690 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
691 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
692 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
693 - small configure updates.
694 - further RTT optimisations.
695 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
696 the debian package.
697 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
698 but much newer than the old one.
699
700 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
701 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
702 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
703 - small configure updates for libptytty.
704 - fixed version options: line output.
705 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
706
707 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
708 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
709 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
710 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
711 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
712 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
713 selection extension.
714 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
715 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
716 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
717 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
718 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
719 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
720 needs the careful rendering mode.
721 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
722 too wide and needs careful mode.
723 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
724 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
725 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
726 atoms only once per display.
727 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
728 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
729 xterm.
730
731 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
732 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
733 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
734 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
735 ctrl-shift-672c).
736 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
737 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
738 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
739 the primary screen.
740 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
741 could lead to an assertion failure.
742 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
743 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
744 via mouse clicks.
745 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
746 with shift - mouse button 2.
747 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
748 in non-synthetic events.
749 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
750 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
751 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
752 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
753 whole urxvt[d] process.
754 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
755 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
756 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
757 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
758
759 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
760 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
761 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
762 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
763 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
764 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
765 special privileges.
766 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
767 itself.
768 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
769 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
770 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
771 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
772 similar stuff.
773 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
774 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
775 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
776 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
777 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
778 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
779 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
780 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
781 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
782 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
783 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
784 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
785 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
786 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
787 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
788 to set the window title.
789 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
790 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
791 at the wrong time.
792 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
793 anymore.
794 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
795 - nuked QNX support.
796 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
797 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
798 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
799 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
800
801 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
802 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
803 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
804 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
805 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
806 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
807 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
808 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
809 and much much more.
810 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
811 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
812 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
813 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
814 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
815 setuid/setgid.
816 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
817 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
818 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
819 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
820 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
821 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
822 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
823 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
824 compatible, and not really small either.
825 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
826 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
827 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
828 to crashes.
829 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
830 colours.
831 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
832 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
833
834 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
835 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
836 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
837 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
838 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
839 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
840 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
841 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
842 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
843 by Mikachu).
844 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
845 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
846 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
847 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
848 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
849 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
850 - fix directory permissions on install.
851 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
852 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
853 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
854 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
855 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
856
857 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
858 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
859 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
860 Chuck Blake.
861 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
862 obscure the mouse cursor position.
863 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
864 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
865 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
866 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
867 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
868 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
869 transfer efficiency.
870 - further minor cleanups.
871
872 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
873 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
874 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
875 while the user still drags.
876 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
877 not drawn correctly.
878 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
879 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
880 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
881 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
882 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
883 stripping whitespace.
884 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
885 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
886
887 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
888 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
889 - enable slow link support by default.
890 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
891 (also a bug in original rxvt).
892 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
893 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
894 partial patch).
895 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
896 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
897 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
898 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
899 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
900 - implement -hold option.
901 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
902 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
903 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
904 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
905 - slight overall speed improvements.
906 - considerably improved code clarity.
907 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
908 buffer.
909
910 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
911 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
912 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
913 (matters only for rxvtd).
914 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
915 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
916 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
917
918 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
919 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
920 If you want the old behaviour, try:
921 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
922 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
923 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
924 percentage by 100-percentage.
925 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
926 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
927 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
928 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
929 windows.
930 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
931 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
932 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
933 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
934 - replaced INSTALL file.
935
936 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
937 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
938 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
939 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
940 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
941 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
942 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
943 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
944 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
945
946 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
947 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
948 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
949 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
950 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
951 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
952 Affects display in iso14755 box.
953 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
954 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
955 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
956 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
957 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
958 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
959 cutting pieces off of characters.
960 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
961 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
962 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
963 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
964 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
965 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
966 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
967
968 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
969 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
970 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
971 meaning of the given key.
972 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
973 (patch by Martin Edlman).
974
975 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
976 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
977 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
978 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
979 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
980 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
981 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
982 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
983 to disable it.
984
985 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
986 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
987 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
988 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
989 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
990 with modifiers.
991 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
992 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
993 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
994 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
995 and clear the scrollback buffer.
996
997 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
998 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
999 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
1000 a command.
1001 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
1002 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
1003 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
1004 in Perl/Gtk2.
1005 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1006 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1007 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1008 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1009 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1010 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1011 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1012 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1013 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1014 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1015 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1016 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1017 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1018 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1019 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1020 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1021 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1022 rxvt-unicode).
1023 - get rid of the intpro files.
1024
1025 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1026 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1027 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1028 (Kuang-che Wu).
1029 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1030 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1031 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1032 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1033 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1034 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1035 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1036 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1037 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1038 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1039 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1040 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1041
1042 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1043 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1044 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1045 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1046 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1047 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1048 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1049 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1050 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1051 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1052 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1053 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1054 by Joël Riou).
1055 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1056 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1057 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1058 - shaved off some code segment size.
1059 - various code cleanups.
1060 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1061
1062 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1063 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1064 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1065 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1066 -pixmap is active.
1067 - new option/resource imFont.
1068 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1069 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1070 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1071 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1072 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1073 (WU Fengguang).
1074 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1075 examples (rxvt.1).
1076 - removed src/test completely.
1077 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1078
1079 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1080 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1081 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1082 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1083 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1084 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1085 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1086 resulting in segfaults.
1087 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1088 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1089 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1090 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1091 (Mikael Magnusson).
1092 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1093 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1094 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1095 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1096 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1097 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1098 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1099 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1100 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1101 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1102 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1103 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1104 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1105
1106 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1107 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1108 black on initial startup.
1109 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1110 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1111 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1112 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1113 additional multimedia keys.
1114 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1115 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1116
1117 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1118 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1119 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1120 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1121 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1122 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1123 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1124 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1125 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1126 ignored.
1127 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1128 instead.
1129 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1130 (reported by hednod).
1131 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1132 - fix atom name enumeration.
1133
1134 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1135 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1136 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1137 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1138 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1139 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1140
1141 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1142 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1143 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1144 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1145 titles etc.
1146 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1147 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1148 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1149 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1150 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1151 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1152 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1153 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1154 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1155 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1156 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1157 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1158 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1159 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1160
1161 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1162 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1163 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1164 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1165 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1166 thoroughly.
1167 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1168 now, too.
1169
1170 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1171 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1172 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1173 on high-latency networks.
1174 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1175 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1176 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1177 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1178 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1179 by Gunnar Ritter.
1180 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1181 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1182
1183 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1184 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1185 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1186 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1187 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1188 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1189 - add compile fix for darwin.
1190 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1191 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1192 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1193
1194 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1195 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1196 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1197 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1198 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1199 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1200 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1201 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1202 ... terminated by a fix.
1203 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1204 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1205 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1206 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1207 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1208 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1209 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1210 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1211 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1212 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1213 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1214 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1215 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1216 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1217 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1218 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1219 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1220 in tracking this down.
1221 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1222 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1223
1224 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1225 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1226 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1227
1228 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1229 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1230 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1231 installed if tic is available.
1232 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1233 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1234 - removed README.unicode.
1235 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1236 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1237 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1238 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1239 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1240 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1241 screen updates with curses.
1242 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1243 by spaces.
1244 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1245 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1246 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1247 is just too slow for this to work.
1248 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1249 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1250 implement. use --enable-styles.
1251 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1252 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1253 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1254 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1255 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1256 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1257 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1258 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1259 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1260 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1261 (only for non-bold right now).
1262 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1263 - better default font size and style.
1264 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1265 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1266 single character against the base font extents and will only
1267 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1268 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1269 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1270 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1271 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1272 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1273 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1274 screen height.
1275 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1276 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1277 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1278 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1279 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1280 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1281 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1282 - removed OSC 702.
1283 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1284 confused by it rather than using it.
1285
1286 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1287 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1288 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1289 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1290 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1291 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1292 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1293 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1294 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1295 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1296 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1297 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1298 close).
1299 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1300 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1301 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1302 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1303 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1304 could not be created.
1305 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1306 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1307 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1308 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1309 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1310 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1311 works.
1312 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1313 - document more escape sequences.
1314 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1315 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1316 character is a sensible operation.
1317 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1318 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1319 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1320 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1321 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1322 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1323 with selections).
1324
1325 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1326 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1327 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1328 needs access to a local shell window).
1329 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1330 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1331 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1332 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1333 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1334 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1335 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1336 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1337 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1338 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1339 added there.
1340 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1341 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1342 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1343 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1344 instead of being ignored.
1345 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1346 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1347 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1348 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1349 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1350 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1351 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1352 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1353 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1354 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1355 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1356 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1357 needs testing anyways.
1358 - more complete compile options help output.
1359 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1360 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1361 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1362 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1363 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1364 - minor doc fix.
1365
1366 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1367 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1368 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1369 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1370 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1371 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1372 memmove :)
1373 - minor cleanups.
1374 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1375 (debian bug #169415).
1376 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1377 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1378 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1379 - updated config.guess.
1380
1381 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1382 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1383 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1384 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1385 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1386 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1387 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1388 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1389 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1390 - various other optimizations.
1391 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1392
1393 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1394 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1395 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1396 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1397 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1398 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1399 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1400 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1401 Mikael Magnusson).
1402 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1403 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1404 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1405
1406 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1407 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1408 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1409 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1410 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1411 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1412 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1413 with ^V (SYN).
1414 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1415
1416 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1417 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1418 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1419 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1420 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1421 well as with other terminal emulators.
1422 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1423 (reported by elmex).
1424 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1425 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1426 the window relative to its frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1427 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1428 Bloch.
1429
1430 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1431 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1432 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1433 sorry).
1434 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1435 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1436
1437 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1438 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1439 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1440 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1441
1442 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1443 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1444 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1445 - fix some minor bugs.
1446
1447 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1448 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1449 for the keymappings.
1450 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1451 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1452 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1453 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1454 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1455 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1456 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1457 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1458 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1459 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1460 overwritten (as is common).
1461 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1462 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1463
1464 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1465 - minor doc corrections.
1466 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1467 avoid clashes with xterm.
1468 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1469 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1470 window colour when arg is "?".
1471 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1472 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1473 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1474 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1475 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1476 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1477 (FRILLS).
1478 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1479 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1480 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1481 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1482
1483 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1484 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1485 - support more 8-bit controls.
1486 - more informative error messages.
1487 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1488 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1489 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1490 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1491 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1492
1493 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1494 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1495 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1496 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1497 - removed old selection style completely.
1498 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1499 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1500 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1501 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1502 be used from within rxvt.
1503 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1504
1505 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1506 - code cleanup release.
1507 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1508 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1509 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1510 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1511 all files.
1512 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1513 --enable-xgetdefault.
1514
1515 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1516 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1517 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1518 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1519 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1520 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1521 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1522 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1523 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1524 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1525 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1526 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1527 --disable-xgetdefault.
1528 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1529 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1530 unicode character.
1531 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1532 get it wrong.
1533 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1534
1535 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1536 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1537 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1538 settings.
1539 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1540 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1541 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1542 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1543 mbrtowc.
1544 - more robust encoding name matching.
1545 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1546 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1547 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1548 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1549 resources and docs.
1550 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1551
1552 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1553 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1554 - some doc cleanup
1555 - configure cleanup
1556 - viscii enabled by default
1557 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1558
1559 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1560 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1561
1562 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1563 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1564 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1565 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1566 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1567 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1568 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1569 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1570 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1571 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1572 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1573 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1574 reported by joel reed.
1575 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1576 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1577 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1578 being selected.
1579 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1580 - removed greek support.
1581 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1582 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1583 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1584 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1585 contributed.
1586 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1587 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1588 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1589 - many other minor bugfixes.
1590
1591 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1592 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1593 new bugs, this should not change much.
1594 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1595 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1596 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1597 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1598 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1599 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1600 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1601
1602 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1603 - further cleanups.
1604 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1605 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1606 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1607 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1608 please drop me a note.
1609
1610 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1611 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1612 - blinking text.
1613 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1614 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1615 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1616 was never implemented
1617
1618 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1619 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1620 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1621 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1622 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1623 reported by fefe
1624 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1625 Markus Demleitner
1626 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1627 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1628 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1629
1630 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1631 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1632 - small font tunings
1633 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1634 - better error reporting for unknown options
1635
1636 1.3 2003-12-26
1637 - fix a bug in font height selection
1638 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1639 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1640 - much faster x11 font selection
1641
1642 1.2 2003-12-24
1643 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1644 - better font matching
1645 - better memory management (less memory)
1646 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1647
1648 1.1 2003-12-18
1649 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1650 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1651 - much improved font choosing
1652
1653 1.0 2003-12-18
1654 - first release
1655 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1656 - removed rclock et al.
1657 - initial conversion to C++
1658
