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 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
40 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
41 same height but different ascent.
42 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
43 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
44 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
45 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
46 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
47 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
48 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
49 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
50 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
51 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
52 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
53 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
54 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
55 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
56 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
57 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
58 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
59 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
60 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
61 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
62 associated to a matched pattern.
63 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
64 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
65 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
66 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
67 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
68 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
69 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
70 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
71 by Thomas Otto).
72 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
73 way properly.
74 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
75 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
76 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
77 containing a space and with the same bg and fg color, red hat bug
78 #830236.
79 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
80 window/popup has been destroyed already.
81 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
82 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolor
83 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
84 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
85
86 9.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
87 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
88 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
89 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
90 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
91 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
92 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
93 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
94 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
95 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
96 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
97 the CLIPBOARD selection.
98 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
99 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
100 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
101 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
102 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
103 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
104
105 9.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
106 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
107 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
108 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
109 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
110 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
111 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
112 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
113 function.
114 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
115 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
116
117 9.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
118 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
119
120 9.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
121 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
122 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
123 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
124 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
125 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
126 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
127 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
128 Münnich).
129 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
130 are disabled.
131
132 9.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
133 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
134 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
135 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
136 Hemmer).
137 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
138 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
139 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
140 patch by Jan Larres).
141 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
142 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
143 as diagnosed by clang.
144 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
145 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
146 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
147 nickfailure@gmail.com).
148 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
149 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
150 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
151 for details.
152 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
153 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
154 which show up in -help etc.
155 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
156 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
157 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
158 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
159 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
160 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
161 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
162 - remove support for libafterimage.
163 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
164 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
165 libptytty instead.
166 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
167 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
168 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
169 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
170 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
171
172 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
173 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
174 thinks thats an error.
175 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
176 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
177 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
178 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
179 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
180 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
181 and destination in composite operations.
182 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
183 for tabs.
184 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
185 Sung Pae).
186 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
187 - fix -C option on solaris.
188
189 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
190 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
191 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
192 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
193 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
194 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
195 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
196 to disable both scaling and tiling.
197 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
198 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
199 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
200 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
201 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
202 in the next release.
203 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
204 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
205 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
206 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
207 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
208 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
209 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
210 Filardo).
211 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
212 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
213 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
214 the cell size.
215 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
216 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
217 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
218 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
219 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
220 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
221 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
222 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
223 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
224 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
225 (Bob Farrell).
226 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
227 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
228 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
229 Pohlack).
230 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
231 Michael Stapelberg).
232 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
233 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
234 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
235 edge (Mikachu).
236 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
237 handle exceptions better.
238 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
239 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
240
241 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
242 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
243 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
244 support the UTF8_STRING target.
245 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
246 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
247 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
248 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
249 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
250 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
251 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
252 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
253 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
254 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
255
256 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
257 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
258 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
259 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
260 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
261 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
262 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
263 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
264 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
265 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
266 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
267 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
268 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
269 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
270 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
271 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
272 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
273 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
274 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
275 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
276 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
277 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
278 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
279 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
280 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
281 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
282 with gcc.
283 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
284 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
285 - document 'thickness' resource.
286 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
287 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
288 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
289 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
290 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
291 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
292 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
293 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
294 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
295 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
296 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
297
298 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
299 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
300 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
301 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
302 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
303 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
304 failures with gcc 4.5.
305 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
306 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
307 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
308 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
309 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
310 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
311 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
312 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
313 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
314 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
315 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
316 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
317 and has fewer limitations.
318 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
319 startup for the upper left corner.
320 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
321 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
322 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
323 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
324 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
325 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
326 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
327 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
328 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
329 - fix build on XFree86.
330 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
331 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
332 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
333 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
334
335 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
336 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
337 - the bestest release ever.
338 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
339 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
340 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
341 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
342 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
343 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
344 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
346 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
347 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
348 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
349 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
350 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
351 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
352 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
353 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
354 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
355 characters other than first one in the selected cell
356 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
357 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
358 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
359 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
360 (found by Mikachu).
361 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
362 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
363 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
364 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
365 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
366 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
367 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
368 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
369 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
370 for 256 colours.
371 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
372 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
373 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
374 88*88 possible pairs.
375 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
376 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
377 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
378 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
379 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
380 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
381 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
382 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
383 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
384 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
385 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
386 backspacekey was given.
387 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
388 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
389 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
390 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
391 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
392 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
393
394 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
395 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
396 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
397 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
398 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
399 Mikachu).
400 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
401 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
402 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
403 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
404 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
405 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
406 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
408 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
409 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
410 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
411 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
412 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
413 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
414 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
415 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
416 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
417 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
418 - update to libptytty 1.3.
419 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
420 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
421 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
422 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
423 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
424 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
425 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
426 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
427 in need of fixing. go figure.
428 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
429 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
430 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
431 the new ->selection_screen method.
432 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
433 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
434 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
435 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
436 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
437 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
438
439 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
440 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
441 - updates libev to 3.48.
442 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
443 when a window was closed.
444 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
445 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
446 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
447 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
448 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
449 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
450 makes copy&paste work.
451 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
452 no longer apply.
453 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
454 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
455 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
456 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
457 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
458 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
459 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
460 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
461 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
462 the only known workaround.
463 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
464 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
465 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
466 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
467 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
468 disabling size hints.
469 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
470 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
471 as mouse reporting.
472 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
473 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
474 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
475 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
476 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
477 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
478 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
479 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
480 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
481 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
482 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
483 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
484
485 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
486 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
487 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
488 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
489 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
490 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
491 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
492 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
493 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
494 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
495 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
496 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
497 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
498 help working window managers as well.
499 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
500 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
501 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
502 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
503 from the toplevel window to the children.
504 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
505 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
506 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
507 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
508
509 9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
510 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
511 - fix build with !xft.
512 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
513
514 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
515 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
516 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
517 received" problem, again :)
518 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
519
520 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
521 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
522 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
523 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
524 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
525 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
526 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
527 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
528 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
529 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
530 channels or background images are used.
531 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
532 till the first event arrives. or so.
533 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
534 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
535 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
536 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
537 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
538 resets the terminal.
539 - scrollbar code cleanups.
540 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
541 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
542 - updated to libev 3.0.
543
544 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
545 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
546 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
547 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
548 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
549 would not clear it visually in another.
550 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
551 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
552 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
553 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
554 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
555 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
556
557 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
558 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
559 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
560 effects.
561 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
562 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
563 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
564 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
565 text was visible.
566 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
567 some minor improvements.
568 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
569 display and not once per terminal window.
570 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
571
572 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
573 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
574 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
575 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
576
577 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
578 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
579 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
580 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
581 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
582 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
583 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
584 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
585
586 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
587 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
588
589 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
590 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
591 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
592 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
593 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
594 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
595 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
596 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
597 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
598 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
599 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
600 - parallel builds should work once more.
601
602 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
603 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
604 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
605 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
606 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
607 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
608 missing DISPLAY.
609 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
610 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
611 - updated io_manager.
612
613 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
614 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
615 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
616 /usr/X11R6/lib.
617 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
618 patch by Sasha Vasko.
619 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
620 (patch by Philip Paeps).
621 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
622 (patch by Mikachu).
623 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
624 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
625 digit (exg).
626 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
627 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
628 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
629 extension (tpope).
630 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
631 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
632 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
633 problems.
634
635 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
636 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
637 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
638 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
639 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
640 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
641 (found by Aiviru).
642 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
643 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
644 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
645 case to work around for :/
646 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
647 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
648 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
649 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
650 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
651 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
652 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
653 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
654 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
655 Paskevich).
656 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
657 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
658 - update libptytty.
659 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
660 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
661 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
662 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
663 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
664 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
665 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
666 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
667 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
668
669 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
670 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
671 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
672 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
673 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
674 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
675 Reported by Takano Akio.
676 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
677 reported by exg.
678 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
679 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
680 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
681 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
682
683 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
684 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
685 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
686 circumstances (reported by exg).
687 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
688 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
689 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
690 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
691 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
692 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
693 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
694 - update to libptytty-1.0.
695 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
696 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
697 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
698 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
699 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
700 bug #143985).
701 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
702 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
703 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
704 - manpage fix by exg.
705
706 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
707 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
708 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
709 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
710 it does! :->
711 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
712 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
713
714 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
715 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
716 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
717 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
718 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
719 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
720 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
721 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
722 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
723 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
724 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
725 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
726 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
727 uppercase character.
728 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
729 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
730 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
731 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
732 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
733 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
734 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
735 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
736 generic osc_seq.
737 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
738 were invoked recursively.
739 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
740 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
741 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
742 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
743 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
744 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
745 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
746 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
747 by omatunto_.
748 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
749 follow C++ closely enough.
750 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
751 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
752 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
753 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
754
755 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
756 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
757 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
758 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
759 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
760 click, and eats the click.
761 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
762 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
763 refresh bugs please.
764 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
765 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
766 improve size hint setting.
767 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
768 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
769 to correctly position their preedit window.
770 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
771 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
772 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
773 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
774 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
775 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
776 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
777 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
778 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
779 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
780 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
781 (reported by Paco-Paco).
782 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
783 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
784 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
785
786 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
787 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
788 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
789 resource value.
790 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
791 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
792 relevant tab window.
793 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
794 (initial patch by hednod).
795 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
796 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
797 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
798 the benefit of automove-background.
799 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
800 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
801 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
802 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
803 __linux__.
804 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
805 the colour components.
806 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
807 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
808 - more colour rtt optimisations.
809 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
810 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
811 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
812 - minor libptytty update.
813
814 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
815 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
816 detection:
817 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
818 - overlap detection was improved.
819 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
820 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
821 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
822 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
823 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
824 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
825 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
826 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
827 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
828 broken.
829 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
830 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
831 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
832 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
833 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
834 (patch by Paco-Paco).
835 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
836 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
837 an "[alpha]" prefix.
838 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
839 transparent. Long Live Xft!
840 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
841 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
842 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
843 on a pseudocolor screen.
844 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
845 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
846 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
847 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
848 - small configure updates.
849 - further RTT optimisations.
850 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
851 the debian package.
852 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
853 but much newer than the old one.
854
855 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
856 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
857 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
858 - small configure updates for libptytty.
859 - fixed version options: line output.
860 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
861
862 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
863 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
864 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
865 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
866 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
867 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
868 selection extension.
869 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
870 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
871 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
872 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
873 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
874 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
875 needs the careful rendering mode.
876 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
877 too wide and needs careful mode.
878 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
879 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
880 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
881 atoms only once per display.
882 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
883 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
884 xterm.
885
886 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
887 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
888 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
889 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
890 ctrl-shift-672c).
891 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
892 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
893 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
894 the primary screen.
895 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
896 could lead to an assertion failure.
897 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
898 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
899 via mouse clicks.
900 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
901 with shift - mouse button 2.
902 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
903 in non-synthetic events.
904 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
905 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
906 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
907 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
908 whole urxvt[d] process.
909 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
910 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
911 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
912 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
913
914 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
915 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
916 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
917 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
918 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
919 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
920 special privileges.
921 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
922 itself.
923 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
924 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
925 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
926 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
927 similar stuff.
928 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
929 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
930 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
931 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
932 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
933 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
934 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
935 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
936 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
937 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
938 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
939 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
940 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
941 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
942 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
943 to set the window title.
944 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
945 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
946 at the wrong time.
947 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
948 anymore.
949 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
950 - nuked QNX support.
951 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
952 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
953 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
954 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
955
956 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
957 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
958 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
959 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
960 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
961 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
962 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
963 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
964 and much much more.
965 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
966 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
967 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
968 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
969 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
970 setuid/setgid.
971 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
972 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
973 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
974 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
975 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
976 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
977 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
978 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
979 compatible, and not really small either.
980 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
981 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
982 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
983 to crashes.
984 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
985 colours.
986 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
987 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
988
989 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
990 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
991 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
992 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
993 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
994 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
995 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
996 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
997 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
998 by Mikachu).
999 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1000 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1001 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1002 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1003 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1004 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1005 - fix directory permissions on install.
1006 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1007 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1008 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1009 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1010 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
1011
1012 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
1013 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
1014 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
1015 Chuck Blake.
1016 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
1017 obscure the mouse cursor position.
1018 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
1019 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
1020 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
1021 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
1022 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
1023 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
1024 transfer efficiency.
1025 - further minor cleanups.
1026
1027 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
1028 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
1029 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
1030 while the user still drags.
1031 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
1032 not drawn correctly.
1033 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
1034 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
1035 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
1036 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
1037 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
1038 stripping whitespace.
1039 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
1040 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
1041
1042 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
1043 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
1044 - enable slow link support by default.
1045 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
1046 (also a bug in original rxvt).
1047 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
1048 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
1049 partial patch).
1050 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
1051 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
1052 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
1053 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
1054 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
1055 - implement -hold option.
1056 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
1057 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
1058 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
1059 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
1060 - slight overall speed improvements.
1061 - considerably improved code clarity.
1062 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
1063 buffer.
1064
1065 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
1066 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
1067 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
1068 (matters only for rxvtd).
1069 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
1070 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
1071 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
1072
1073 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
1074 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
1075 If you want the old behaviour, try:
1076 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1077 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1078 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1079 percentage by 100-percentage.
1080 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1081 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1082 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1083 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1084 windows.
1085 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1086 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1087 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1088 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1089 - replaced INSTALL file.
1090
1091 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1092 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1093 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1094 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1095 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1096 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1097 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1098 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1099 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
1100
1101 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
1102 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
1103 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
1104 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
1105 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1106 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1107 Affects display in iso14755 box.
1108 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1109 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1110 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1111 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1112 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1113 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1114 cutting pieces off of characters.
1115 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1116 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1117 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1118 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1119 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1120 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
1121 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
1122
1123 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
1124 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
1125 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
1126 meaning of the given key.
1127 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
1128 (patch by Martin Edlman).
1129
1130 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
1131 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
1132 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
1133 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
1134 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
1135 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
1136 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
1137 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
1138 to disable it.
1139
1140 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
1141 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
1142 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
1143 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
1144 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
1145 with modifiers.
1146 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
1147 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
1148 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
1149 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
1150 and clear the scrollback buffer.
1151
1152 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
1153 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
1154 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
1155 a command.
1156 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
1157 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
1158 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
1159 in Perl/Gtk2.
1160 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1161 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1162 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1163 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1164 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1165 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1166 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1167 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1168 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1169 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1170 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1171 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1172 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1173 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1174 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1175 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1176 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1177 rxvt-unicode).
1178 - get rid of the intpro files.
1179
1180 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1181 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1182 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1183 (Kuang-che Wu).
1184 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1185 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1186 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1187 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1188 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1189 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1190 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1191 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1192 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1193 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1194 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1195 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1196
1197 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1198 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1199 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1200 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1201 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1202 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1203 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1204 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1205 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1206 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1207 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1208 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1209 by Joël Riou).
1210 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1211 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1212 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1213 - shaved off some code segment size.
1214 - various code cleanups.
1215 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1216
1217 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1218 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1219 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1220 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1221 -pixmap is active.
1222 - new option/resource imFont.
1223 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1224 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1225 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1226 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1227 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1228 (WU Fengguang).
1229 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1230 examples (rxvt.1).
1231 - removed src/test completely.
1232 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1233
1234 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1235 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1236 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1237 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1238 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1239 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1240 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1241 resulting in segfaults.
1242 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1243 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1244 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1245 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1246 (Mikael Magnusson).
1247 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1248 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1249 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1250 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1251 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1252 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1253 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1254 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1255 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1256 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1257 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1258 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1259 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1260
1261 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1262 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1263 black on initial startup.
1264 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1265 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1266 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1267 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1268 additional multimedia keys.
1269 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1270 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1271
1272 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1273 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1274 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1275 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1276 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1277 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1278 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1279 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1280 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1281 ignored.
1282 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1283 instead.
1284 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1285 (reported by hednod).
1286 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1287 - fix atom name enumeration.
1288
1289 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1290 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1291 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1292 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1293 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1294 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1295
1296 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1297 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1298 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1299 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1300 titles etc.
1301 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1302 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1303 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1304 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1305 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1306 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1307 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1308 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1309 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1310 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1311 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1312 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1313 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1314 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1315
1316 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1317 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1318 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1319 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1320 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1321 thoroughly.
1322 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1323 now, too.
1324
1325 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1326 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1327 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1328 on high-latency networks.
1329 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1330 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1331 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1332 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1333 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1334 by Gunnar Ritter.
1335 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1336 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1337
1338 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1339 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1340 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1341 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1342 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1343 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1344 - add compile fix for darwin.
1345 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1346 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1347 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1348
1349 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1350 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1351 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1352 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1353 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1354 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1355 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1356 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1357 ... terminated by a fix.
1358 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1359 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1360 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1361 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1362 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1363 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1364 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1365 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1366 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1367 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1368 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1369 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1370 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1371 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1372 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1373 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1374 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1375 in tracking this down.
1376 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1377 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1378
1379 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1380 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1381 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1382
1383 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1384 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1385 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1386 installed if tic is available.
1387 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1388 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1389 - removed README.unicode.
1390 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1391 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1392 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1393 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1394 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1395 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1396 screen updates with curses.
1397 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1398 by spaces.
1399 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1400 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1401 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1402 is just too slow for this to work.
1403 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1404 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1405 implement. use --enable-styles.
1406 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1407 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1408 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1409 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1410 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1411 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1412 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1413 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1414 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1415 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1416 (only for non-bold right now).
1417 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1418 - better default font size and style.
1419 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1420 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1421 single character against the base font extents and will only
1422 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1423 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1424 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1425 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1426 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1427 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1428 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1429 screen height.
1430 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1431 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1432 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1433 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1434 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1435 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1436 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1437 - removed OSC 702.
1438 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1439 confused by it rather than using it.
1440
1441 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1442 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1443 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1444 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1445 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1446 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1447 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1448 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1449 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1450 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1451 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1452 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1453 close).
1454 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1455 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1456 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1457 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1458 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1459 could not be created.
1460 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1461 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1462 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1463 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1464 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1465 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1466 works.
1467 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1468 - document more escape sequences.
1469 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1470 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1471 character is a sensible operation.
1472 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1473 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1474 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1475 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1476 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1477 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1478 with selections).
1479
1480 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1481 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1482 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1483 needs access to a local shell window).
1484 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1485 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1486 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1487 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1488 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1489 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1490 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1491 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1492 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1493 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1494 added there.
1495 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1496 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1497 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1498 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1499 instead of being ignored.
1500 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1501 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1502 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1503 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1504 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1505 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1506 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1507 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1508 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1509 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1510 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1511 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1512 needs testing anyways.
1513 - more complete compile options help output.
1514 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1515 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1516 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1517 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1518 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1519 - minor doc fix.
1520
1521 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1522 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1523 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1524 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1525 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1526 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1527 memmove :)
1528 - minor cleanups.
1529 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1530 (debian bug #169415).
1531 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1532 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1533 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1534 - updated config.guess.
1535
1536 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1537 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1538 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1539 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1540 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1541 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1542 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1543 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1544 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1545 - various other optimizations.
1546 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1547
1548 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1549 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1550 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1551 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1552 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1553 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1554 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1555 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1556 Mikael Magnusson).
1557 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1558 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1559 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1560
1561 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1562 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1563 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1564 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1565 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1566 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1567 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1568 with ^V (SYN).
1569 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1570
1571 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1572 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1573 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1574 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1575 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1576 well as with other terminal emulators.
1577 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1578 (reported by elmex).
1579 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1580 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1581 the window relative to its frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1582 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1583 Bloch.
1584
1585 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1586 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1587 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1588 sorry).
1589 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1590 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1591
1592 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1593 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1594 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1595 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1596
1597 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1598 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1599 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1600 - fix some minor bugs.
1601
1602 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1603 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1604 for the keymappings.
1605 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1606 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1607 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1608 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1609 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1610 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1611 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1612 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1613 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1614 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1615 overwritten (as is common).
1616 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1617 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1618
1619 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1620 - minor doc corrections.
1621 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1622 avoid clashes with xterm.
1623 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1624 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1625 window colour when arg is "?".
1626 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1627 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1628 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1629 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1630 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1631 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1632 (FRILLS).
1633 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1634 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1635 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1636 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1637
1638 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1639 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1640 - support more 8-bit controls.
1641 - more informative error messages.
1642 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1643 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1644 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1645 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1646 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1647
1648 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1649 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1650 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1651 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1652 - removed old selection style completely.
1653 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1654 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1655 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1656 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1657 be used from within rxvt.
1658 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1659
1660 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1661 - code cleanup release.
1662 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1663 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1664 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1665 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1666 all files.
1667 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1668 --enable-xgetdefault.
1669
1670 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1671 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1672 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1673 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1674 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1675 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1676 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1677 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1678 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1679 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1680 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1681 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1682 --disable-xgetdefault.
1683 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1684 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1685 unicode character.
1686 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1687 get it wrong.
1688 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1689
1690 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1691 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1692 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1693 settings.
1694 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1695 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1696 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1697 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1698 mbrtowc.
1699 - more robust encoding name matching.
1700 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1701 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1702 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1703 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1704 resources and docs.
1705 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1706
1707 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1708 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1709 - some doc cleanup
1710 - configure cleanup
1711 - viscii enabled by default
1712 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1713
1714 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1715 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1716
1717 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1718 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1719 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1720 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1721 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1722 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1723 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1724 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1725 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1726 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1727 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1728 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1729 reported by joel reed.
1730 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1731 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1732 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1733 being selected.
1734 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1735 - removed greek support.
1736 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1737 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1738 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1739 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1740 contributed.

1745
1746 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1747 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1748 new bugs, this should not change much.
1749 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1750 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1751 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1752 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1753 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1754 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1755 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1756
1757 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1758 - further cleanups.
1759 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1760 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1761 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1762 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1763 please drop me a note.
1764
