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: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
20 TODO: command line editing when icanon?
21 TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
22 TODO: catch exceptions when calling perl hooks
23 TODO: xdbe
24 TODO: optimise bg reeval for resize for common patterns (pixmap bigger than window?)
25 TODO: pack rxvt_fatal messages into the exception object
26 TODO: load must not cache, but global image cache must be cleaned
27 TODO: provide something like % for easy access for parse_keysym
28 TODO: description into --help output?
29 TODO: rxvt -help => (see rxvt-XXX(1))?
30 TODO: xor_rect should shift right
31 TODO IMPL: recalc bg only when not fully covering (no alpha, repeat|extend etc..)
32
33 TODO IMPL: colour-change event with index
34 TODO IMPL: recalc bg always on bg colour change
35
36 TODO: document typical actions in rxvt.1.pod keysyms
37 TODO: warn with a graphical message when env has been modified
38
39 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
40 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
41 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
42 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
43 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
44 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
45 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
46 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
47 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
48 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
49 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
50 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
51 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
52 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
53 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
54 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
55 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
56 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
57 associated to a matched pattern.
58 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
59 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
60 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
61 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
62 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
63 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
64 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
65 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
66 by Thomas Otto).
67 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
68 way properly.
69 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
70
71 9.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
72 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
73 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
74 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
75 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
76 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
77 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
78 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
79 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
80 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
81 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
82 the CLIPBOARD selection.
83 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
84 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
85 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
86 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
87 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
88 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
89
90 9.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
91 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
92 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
93 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
94 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
95 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
96 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
97 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
98 function.
99 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
100 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
101
102 9.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
103 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
104
105 9.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
106 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
107 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
108 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
109 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
110 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
111 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
112 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
113 Münnich).
114 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
115 are disabled.
116
117 9.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
118 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
119 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
120 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
121 Hemmer).
122 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
123 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
124 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
125 patch by Jan Larres).
126 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
127 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
128 as diagnosed by clang.
129 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
130 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
131 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
132 nickfailure@gmail.com).
133 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
134 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
135 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
136 for details.
137 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
138 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
139 which show up in -help etc.
140 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
141 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
142 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
143 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
144 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
145 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
146 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
147 - remove support for libafterimage.
148 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
149 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
150 libptytty instead.
151 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
152 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
153 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
154 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
155 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
156
157 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
158 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
159 thinks thats an error.
160 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
161 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
162 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
163 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
164 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
165 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
166 and destination in composite operations.
167 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
168 for tabs.
169 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
170 Sung Pae).
171 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
172 - fix -C option on solaris.
173
174 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
175 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
176 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
177 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
178 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
179 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
180 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
181 to disable both scaling and tiling.
182 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
183 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
184 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
185 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
186 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
187 in the next release.
188 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
189 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
190 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
191 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
192 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
194 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
195 Filardo).
196 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
197 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
198 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
199 the cell size.
200 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
201 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
202 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
203 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
204 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
205 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
206 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
207 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
208 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
209 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
210 (Bob Farrell).
211 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
212 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
213 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
214 Pohlack).
215 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
216 Michael Stapelberg).
217 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
218 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
219 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
220 edge (Mikachu).
221 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
222 handle exceptions better.
223 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
224 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
225
226 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
227 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
228 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
229 support the UTF8_STRING target.
230 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
231 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
232 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
233 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
234 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
235 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
236 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
237 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
238 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
239 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
240
241 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
242 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
243 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
244 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
245 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
246 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
247 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
248 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
249 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
250 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
251 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
252 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
253 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
254 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
255 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
256 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
257 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
258 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
259 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
260 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
261 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
262 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
263 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
264 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
266 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
267 with gcc.
268 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
269 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
270 - document 'thickness' resource.
271 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
272 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
273 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
274 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
275 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
276 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
277 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
278 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
279 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
280 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
281 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
282
283 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
284 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
285 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
286 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
287 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
288 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
289 failures with gcc 4.5.
290 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
291 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
292 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
293 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
294 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
295 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
296 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
297 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
298 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
299 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
300 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
301 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
302 and has fewer limitations.
303 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
304 startup for the upper left corner.
305 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
306 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
307 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
308 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
309 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
310 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
311 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
312 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
313 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
314 - fix build on XFree86.
315 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
316 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
317 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
318 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
319
320 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
321 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
322 - the bestest release ever.
323 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
324 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
325 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
326 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
327 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
329 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
330 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
331 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
332 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
333 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
334 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
335 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
336 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
337 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
338 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
339 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
340 characters other than first one in the selected cell
341 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
342 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
343 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
344 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
345 (found by Mikachu).
346 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
347 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
348 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
349 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
350 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
351 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
352 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
353 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
354 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
355 for 256 colours.
356 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
357 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
358 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
359 88*88 possible pairs.
360 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
361 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
362 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
363 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
364 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
365 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
366 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
367 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
368 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
369 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
370 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
371 backspacekey was given.
372 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
373 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
374 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
375 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
376 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
377 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
378
379 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
380 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
381 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
382 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
383 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
384 Mikachu).
385 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
386 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
387 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
388 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
389 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
390 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
391 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
392 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
393 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
394 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
395 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
396 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
397 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
398 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
399 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
400 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
401 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
402 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
403 - update to libptytty 1.3.
404 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
405 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
406 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
408 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
409 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
410 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
411 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
412 in need of fixing. go figure.
413 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
414 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
415 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
416 the new ->selection_screen method.
417 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
418 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

420 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
421 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
422 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
423
424 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
425 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
426 - updates libev to 3.48.
427 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
428 when a window was closed.
429 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
430 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
431 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
432 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
433 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
434 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
435 makes copy&paste work.
436 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
437 no longer apply.
438 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
439 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
440 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
441 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
442 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
443 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
444 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
445 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
446 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
447 the only known workaround.
448 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
449 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
450 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
451 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
452 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
453 disabling size hints.
454 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
455 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
456 as mouse reporting.
457 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
458 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
459 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
460 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
461 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
462 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
463 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
464 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
465 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
466 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
467 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
468 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
469
470 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
471 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
472 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
473 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
474 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
475 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
476 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
477 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
478 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
479 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
480 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
481 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
482 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
483 help working window managers as well.
484 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
485 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
486 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
487 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
488 from the toplevel window to the children.
489 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
490 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
491 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
492 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
493
494 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
495 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
496 - fix build with !xft.
497 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
498
499 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
500 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
501 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
502 received" problem, again :)
503 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
504
505 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
506 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
507 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
508 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
509 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
510 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
511 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
512 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
513 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
514 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
515 channels or background images are used.
516 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
517 till the first event arrives. or so.
518 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
519 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
520 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
521 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
522 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
523 resets the terminal.
524 - scrollbar code cleanups.
525 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
526 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
527 - updated to libev 3.0.
528
529 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
530 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
531 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
532 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
533 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
534 would not clear it visually in another.
535 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
536 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
537 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
538 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
539 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
540 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
541
542 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
543 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
544 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
545 effects.
546 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
547 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
548 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
549 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
550 text was visible.
551 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
552 some minor improvements.
553 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
554 display and not once per terminal window.
555 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
556
557 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
558 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
559 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
560 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
561
562 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
563 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
564 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
565 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
566 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
567 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
568 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
569 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
570
571 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
572 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
573
574 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
575 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
576 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
577 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
578 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
579 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
580 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
581 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
582 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
583 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
584 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
585 - parallel builds should work once more.
586
587 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
588 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
589 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
590 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
591 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
592 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
593 missing DISPLAY.
594 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
595 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
596 - updated io_manager.
597
598 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
599 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
600 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
601 /usr/X11R6/lib.
602 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
603 patch by Sasha Vasko.
604 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
605 (patch by Philip Paeps).
606 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
607 (patch by Mikachu).
608 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
609 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
610 digit (exg).
611 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
612 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
613 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
614 extension (tpope).
615 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
616 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
617 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
618 problems.
619
620 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
621 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
622 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
623 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
624 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
625 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
626 (found by Aiviru).
627 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
628 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
629 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
630 case to work around for :/
631 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
632 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
633 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
634 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
635 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
636 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
637 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
638 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
639 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
640 Paskevich).
641 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
642 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
643 - update libptytty.
644 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
645 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
646 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
647 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
648 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
649 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
650 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
651 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
652 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
653
654 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
655 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
656 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
657 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
658 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
659 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
660 Reported by Takano Akio.
661 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
662 reported by exg.
663 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
664 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
665 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
666 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
667
668 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
669 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
670 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
671 circumstances (reported by exg).
672 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
673 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
674 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
675 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
676 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
677 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
678 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
679 - update to libptytty-1.0.
680 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
681 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
682 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
683 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
684 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
685 bug #143985).
686 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
687 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
688 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
689 - manpage fix by exg.
690
691 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
692 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
693 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
694 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
695 it does! :->
696 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
697 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
698
699 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
700 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
701 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
702 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
703 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
704 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
705 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
706 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
707 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
708 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
709 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
710 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
711 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
712 uppercase character.
713 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
714 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
715 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
716 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
717 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
718 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
719 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
720 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
721 generic osc_seq.
722 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
723 were invoked recursively.
724 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
725 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
726 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
727 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
728 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
729 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
730 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
731 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
732 by omatunto_.
733 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
734 follow C++ closely enough.
735 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
736 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
737 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
738 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
739
740 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
741 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
742 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
743 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
744 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
745 click, and eats the click.
746 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
747 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
748 refresh bugs please.
749 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
750 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
751 improve size hint setting.
752 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
753 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
754 to correctly position their preedit window.
755 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
756 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
757 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
758 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
759 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
760 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
761 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
762 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
763 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
764 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
765 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
766 (reported by Paco-Paco).
767 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
768 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
769 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
770
771 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
772 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
773 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
774 resource value.
775 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
776 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
777 relevant tab window.
778 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
779 (initial patch by hednod).
780 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
781 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
782 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
783 the benefit of automove-background.
784 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
785 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
786 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
787 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
788 __linux__.
789 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
790 the colour components.
791 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
792 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
793 - more colour rtt optimisations.
794 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
795 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
796 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
797 - minor libptytty update.
798
799 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
800 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
801 detection:
802 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
803 - overlap detection was improved.
804 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
805 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
806 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
807 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
808 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
809 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
810 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
811 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
812 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
813 broken.
814 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
815 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
816 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
817 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
818 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
819 (patch by Paco-Paco).
820 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
821 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
822 an "[alpha]" prefix.
823 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
824 transparent. Long Live Xft!
825 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
826 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
827 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
828 on a pseudocolor screen.
829 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
830 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
831 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
832 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
833 - small configure updates.
834 - further RTT optimisations.
835 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
836 the debian package.
837 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
838 but much newer than the old one.
839
840 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
841 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
842 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
843 - small configure updates for libptytty.
844 - fixed version options: line output.
845 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
846
847 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
848 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
849 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
850 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
851 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
852 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
853 selection extension.
854 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
855 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
856 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
857 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
858 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
859 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
860 needs the careful rendering mode.
861 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
862 too wide and needs careful mode.
863 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
864 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
865 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
866 atoms only once per display.
867 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
868 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
869 xterm.
870
871 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
872 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
873 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
874 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
875 ctrl-shift-672c).
876 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
877 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
878 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
879 the primary screen.
880 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
881 could lead to an assertion failure.
882 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
883 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
884 via mouse clicks.
885 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
886 with shift - mouse button 2.
887 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
888 in non-synthetic events.
889 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
890 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
891 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
892 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
893 whole urxvt[d] process.
894 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
895 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
896 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
897 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
898
899 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
900 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
901 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
902 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
903 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
904 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
905 special privileges.
906 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
907 itself.
908 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
909 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
910 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
911 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
912 similar stuff.
913 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
914 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
915 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
916 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
917 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
918 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
919 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
920 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
921 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
922 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
923 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
924 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
925 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
926 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
927 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
928 to set the window title.
929 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
930 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
931 at the wrong time.
932 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
933 anymore.
934 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
935 - nuked QNX support.
936 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
937 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
938 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
939 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
940
941 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
942 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
943 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
944 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
945 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
946 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
947 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
948 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
949 and much much more.
950 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
951 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
952 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
953 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
954 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
955 setuid/setgid.
956 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
957 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
958 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
959 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
960 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
961 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
962 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
963 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
964 compatible, and not really small either.
965 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
966 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
967 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
968 to crashes.
969 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
970 colours.
971 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
972 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
973
974 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
975 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
976 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
977 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
978 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
979 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
980 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
981 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
982 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
983 by Mikachu).
984 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
985 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
986 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
987 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
988 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
989 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
990 - fix directory permissions on install.
991 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
992 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
993 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
994 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
995 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
996
997 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
998 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
999 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
1000 Chuck Blake.
1001 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
1002 obscure the mouse cursor position.
1003 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
1004 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
1005 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
1006 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
1007 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
1008 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
1009 transfer efficiency.
1010 - further minor cleanups.
1011
1012 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
1013 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
1014 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
1015 while the user still drags.
1016 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
1017 not drawn correctly.
1018 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
1019 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
1020 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
1021 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
1022 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
1023 stripping whitespace.
1024 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
1025 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
1026
1027 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
1028 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
1029 - enable slow link support by default.
1030 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
1031 (also a bug in original rxvt).
1032 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
1033 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
1034 partial patch).
1035 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
1036 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
1037 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
1038 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
1039 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
1040 - implement -hold option.
1041 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
1042 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
1043 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
1044 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
1045 - slight overall speed improvements.
1046 - considerably improved code clarity.
1047 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
1048 buffer.
1049
1050 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
1051 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
1052 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
1053 (matters only for rxvtd).
1054 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
1055 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
1056 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
1057
1058 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
1059 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
1060 If you want the old behaviour, try:
1061 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1062 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1063 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1064 percentage by 100-percentage.
1065 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1066 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1067 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1068 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1069 windows.
1070 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1071 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1072 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1073 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1074 - replaced INSTALL file.
1075
1076 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1077 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1078 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1079 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1080 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1081 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1082 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1083 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1084 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
1085
1086 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
1087 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
1088 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
1089 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
1090 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1091 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1092 Affects display in iso14755 box.
1093 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1094 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1095 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1096 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1097 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1098 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1099 cutting pieces off of characters.
1100 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1101 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1102 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1103 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1104 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1105 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
1106 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
1107
1108 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
1109 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
1110 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
1111 meaning of the given key.
1112 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
1113 (patch by Martin Edlman).
1114
1115 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
1116 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
1117 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
1118 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
1119 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
1120 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
1121 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
1122 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
1123 to disable it.
1124
1125 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
1126 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
1127 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
1128 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
1129 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
1130 with modifiers.
1131 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
1132 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
1133 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
1134 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
1135 and clear the scrollback buffer.
1136
1137 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
1138 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
1139 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
1140 a command.
1141 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
1142 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
1143 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
1144 in Perl/Gtk2.
1145 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1146 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1147 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1148 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1149 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1150 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1151 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1152 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1153 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1154 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1155 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1156 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1157 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1158 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1159 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1160 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1161 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1162 rxvt-unicode).
1163 - get rid of the intpro files.
1164
1165 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1166 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1167 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1168 (Kuang-che Wu).
1169 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1170 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1171 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1172 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1173 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1174 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1175 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1176 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1177 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1178 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1179 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1180 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1181
1182 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1183 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1184 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1185 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1186 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1187 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1188 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1189 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1190 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1191 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1192 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1193 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1194 by Joël Riou).
1195 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1196 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1197 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1198 - shaved off some code segment size.
1199 - various code cleanups.
1200 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1201
1202 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1203 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1204 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1205 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1206 -pixmap is active.
1207 - new option/resource imFont.
1208 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1209 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1210 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1211 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1212 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1213 (WU Fengguang).
1214 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1215 examples (rxvt.1).
1216 - removed src/test completely.
1217 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1218
1219 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1220 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1221 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1222 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1223 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1224 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1225 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1226 resulting in segfaults.
1227 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1228 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1229 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1230 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1231 (Mikael Magnusson).
1232 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1233 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1234 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1235 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1236 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1237 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1238 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1239 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1240 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1241 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1242 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1243 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1244 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1245
1246 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1247 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1248 black on initial startup.
1249 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1250 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1251 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1252 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1253 additional multimedia keys.
1254 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1255 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1256
1257 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1258 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1259 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1260 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1261 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1262 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1263 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1264 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1265 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1266 ignored.
1267 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1268 instead.
1269 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1270 (reported by hednod).
1271 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1272 - fix atom name enumeration.
1273
1274 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1275 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1276 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1277 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1278 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1279 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1280
1281 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1282 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1283 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1284 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1285 titles etc.
1286 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1287 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1288 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1289 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1290 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1291 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1292 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1293 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1294 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1295 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1296 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1297 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1298 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1299 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1300
1301 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1302 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1303 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1304 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1305 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1306 thoroughly.
1307 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1308 now, too.
1309
1310 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1311 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1312 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1313 on high-latency networks.
1314 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1315 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1316 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1317 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1318 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1319 by Gunnar Ritter.
1320 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1321 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1322
1323 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1324 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1325 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1326 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1327 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1328 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1329 - add compile fix for darwin.
1330 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1331 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1332 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1333
1334 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1335 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1336 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1337 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1338 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1339 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1340 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1341 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1342 ... terminated by a fix.
1343 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1344 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1345 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1346 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1347 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1348 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1349 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1350 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1351 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1352 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1353 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1354 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1355 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1356 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1357 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1358 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1359 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1360 in tracking this down.
1361 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1362 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1363
1364 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1365 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1366 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1367
1368 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1369 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1370 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1371 installed if tic is available.
1372 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1373 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1374 - removed README.unicode.
1375 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1376 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1377 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1378 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1379 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1380 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1381 screen updates with curses.
1382 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1383 by spaces.
1384 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1385 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1386 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1387 is just too slow for this to work.
1388 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1389 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1390 implement. use --enable-styles.
1391 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1392 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1393 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1394 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1395 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1396 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1397 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1398 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1399 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1400 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1401 (only for non-bold right now).
1402 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1403 - better default font size and style.
1404 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1405 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1406 single character against the base font extents and will only
1407 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1408 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1409 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1410 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1411 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1412 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1413 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1414 screen height.
1415 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1416 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1417 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1418 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1419 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1420 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1421 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1422 - removed OSC 702.
1423 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1424 confused by it rather than using it.
1425
1426 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1427 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1428 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1429 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1430 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1431 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1432 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1433 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1434 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1435 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1436 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1437 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1438 close).
1439 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1440 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1441 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1442 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1443 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1444 could not be created.
1445 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1446 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1447 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1448 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1449 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1450 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1451 works.
1452 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1453 - document more escape sequences.
1454 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1455 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1456 character is a sensible operation.
1457 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1458 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1459 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1460 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1461 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1462 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1463 with selections).
1464
1465 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1466 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1467 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1468 needs access to a local shell window).
1469 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1470 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1471 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1472 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1473 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1474 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1475 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1476 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1477 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1478 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1479 added there.
1480 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1481 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1482 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1483 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1484 instead of being ignored.
1485 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1486 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1487 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1488 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1489 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1490 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1491 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1492 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1493 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1494 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1495 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1496 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1497 needs testing anyways.
1498 - more complete compile options help output.
1499 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1500 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1501 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1502 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1503 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1504 - minor doc fix.
1505
1506 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1507 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1508 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1509 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1510 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1511 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1512 memmove :)
1513 - minor cleanups.
1514 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1515 (debian bug #169415).
1516 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1517 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1518 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1519 - updated config.guess.
1520
1521 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1522 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1523 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1524 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1525 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1526 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1527 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1528 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1529 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1530 - various other optimizations.
1531 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1532
1533 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1534 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1535 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1536 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1537 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1538 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1539 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1540 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1541 Mikael Magnusson).
1542 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1543 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1544 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1545
1546 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1547 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1548 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1549 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1550 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1551 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1552 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1553 with ^V (SYN).
1554 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1555
1556 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1557 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1558 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1559 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1560 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1561 well as with other terminal emulators.
1562 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1563 (reported by elmex).
1564 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1565 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1566 the window relative to its frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1567 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1568 Bloch.
1569
1570 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1571 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1572 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1573 sorry).
1574 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1575 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1576
1577 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1578 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1579 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1580 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1581
1582 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1583 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1584 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1585 - fix some minor bugs.
1586
1587 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1588 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1589 for the keymappings.
1590 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1591 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1592 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1593 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1594 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1595 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1596 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1597 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1598 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1599 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1600 overwritten (as is common).
1601 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1602 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1603
1604 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1605 - minor doc corrections.
1606 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1607 avoid clashes with xterm.
1608 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1609 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1610 window colour when arg is "?".
1611 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1612 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1613 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1614 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1615 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1616 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1617 (FRILLS).
1618 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1619 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1620 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1621 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1622
1623 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1624 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1625 - support more 8-bit controls.
1626 - more informative error messages.
1627 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1628 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1629 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1630 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1631 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1632
1633 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1634 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1635 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1636 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1637 - removed old selection style completely.
1638 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1639 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1640 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1641 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1642 be used from within rxvt.
1643 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1644
1645 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1646 - code cleanup release.
1647 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1648 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1649 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1650 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1651 all files.
1652 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1653 --enable-xgetdefault.
1654
1655 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1656 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1657 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1658 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1659 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1660 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1661 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1662 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1663 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1664 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1665 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1666 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1667 --disable-xgetdefault.
1668 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1669 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1670 unicode character.
1671 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1672 get it wrong.
1673 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1674
1675 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1676 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1677 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1678 settings.
1679 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1680 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1681 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1682 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1683 mbrtowc.
1684 - more robust encoding name matching.
1685 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1686 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1687 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1688 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1689 resources and docs.
1690 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1691
1692 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1693 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1694 - some doc cleanup
1695 - configure cleanup
1696 - viscii enabled by default
1697 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1698
1699 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1700 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1701
1702 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1703 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1704 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1705 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1706 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1707 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1708 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1709 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1710 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1711 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1712 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1713 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1714 reported by joel reed.
1715 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1716 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1717 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1718 being selected.
1719 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1720 - removed greek support.
1721 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1722 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1723 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1724 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1725 contributed.
1726 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1727 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1728 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1729 - many other minor bugfixes.
1730
1731 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1732 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1733 new bugs, this should not change much.
1734 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1735 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1736 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1737 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1738 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1739 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1740 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
