3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004 |
| 11 |
- UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not |
| 12 |
show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I |
| 13 |
released it with that bug. :( Fixed. |
| 14 |
- use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies. |
| 15 |
speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable |
| 16 |
memmove :) |
| 17 |
- minor cleanups. |
| 18 |
- removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage |
| 19 |
(debian bug #169415). |
| 20 |
- fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265). |
| 21 |
- change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386). |
| 22 |
- updated configure script to current autoconf standards. |
| 23 |
- updated config.guess. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004 |
| 26 |
- fix inheritpixmap transparency border code. |
| 27 |
- fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally |
| 28 |
make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :). |
| 29 |
- imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable). |
| 30 |
- changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh). |
| 31 |
- fixed blinking underlined and negative text. |
| 32 |
- disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets, |
| 33 |
speeding up scrolling immensely. |
| 34 |
- various other optimizations. |
| 35 |
- new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004 |
| 38 |
- some doc updates (Eduard Bloch). |
| 39 |
- use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set. |
| 40 |
- fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch). |
| 41 |
- new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson. |
| 42 |
- off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by |
| 43 |
Mikael Magnusson). |
| 44 |
- cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by |
| 45 |
Mikael Magnusson). |
| 46 |
- better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson). |
| 47 |
- solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt). |
| 48 |
- disable-xim now really disables xim code. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004 |
| 51 |
- support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>), |
| 52 |
if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb). |
| 53 |
- fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which |
| 54 |
was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>. |
| 55 |
- fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above. |
| 56 |
- sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it |
| 57 |
with ^V (SYN). |
| 58 |
- 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option). |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004 |
| 61 |
- set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177) |
| 62 |
as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :). |
| 63 |
- updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt |
| 64 |
in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as |
| 65 |
well as with other terminal emulators. |
| 66 |
- fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale |
| 67 |
(reported by elmex). |
| 68 |
- find more fonts by default for japanese. |
| 69 |
- the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving |
| 70 |
the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too. |
| 71 |
- fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard |
| 72 |
Bloch. |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004 |
| 75 |
- experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even |
| 76 |
less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work, |
| 77 |
sorry). |
| 78 |
- c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should |
| 79 |
make it a little bit more correct c++). |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004 |
| 82 |
- fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now |
| 83 |
getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035). |
| 84 |
- minor i18n issue fixes. |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004 |
| 87 |
- replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability). |
| 88 |
- try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability). |
| 89 |
- fix some minor bugs. |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004 |
| 92 |
- this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except |
| 93 |
for the keymappings. |
| 94 |
- don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes. |
| 95 |
(inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt). |
| 96 |
- xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an |
| 97 |
extension and is slightly ugly. |
| 98 |
- removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and |
| 99 |
replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and |
| 100 |
secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673). |
| 101 |
- close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267). |
| 102 |
- xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting. |
| 103 |
- re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are |
| 104 |
overwritten (as is common). |
| 105 |
- xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049. |
| 106 |
- ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de. |
| 107 |
|
| 108 |
2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004 |
| 109 |
- minor doc corrections. |
| 110 |
- WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to |
| 111 |
avoid clashes with xterm. |
| 112 |
- changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports. |
| 113 |
- xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window |
| 114 |
colour when arg is "?". |
| 115 |
- enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds. |
| 116 |
- stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus |
| 117 |
cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in |
| 118 |
fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc. |
| 119 |
- re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only |
| 120 |
when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference). |
| 121 |
(FRILLS). |
| 122 |
- disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default. |
| 123 |
- fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least). |
| 124 |
asprintf replacement is still missing(!). |
| 125 |
- set _NET_WM_PID. |
| 126 |
|
| 127 |
2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004 |
| 128 |
- the usual sprinkled little code cleanups. |
| 129 |
- support more 8-bit controls. |
| 130 |
- more informative error messages. |
| 131 |
- fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions. |
| 132 |
- the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements: |
| 133 |
- no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences |
| 134 |
(e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block). |
| 135 |
- rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510). |
| 136 |
|
| 137 |
2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004 |
| 138 |
- fix stupid double-free() bug on exit. |
| 139 |
- implement xterm private mode 1049. |
| 140 |
- fix manpages (debian bug #236824). |
| 141 |
- removed old selection style completely. |
| 142 |
- selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars. |
| 143 |
- remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore. |
| 144 |
reduces binary and distro size a bit. |
| 145 |
- add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can |
| 146 |
be used from within rxvt. |
| 147 |
- less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f). |
| 148 |
|
| 149 |
2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004 |
| 150 |
- code cleanup release. |
| 151 |
- fix compile problems without --enable-combining. |
| 152 |
- fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened. |
| 153 |
- removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX, |
| 154 |
MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from |
| 155 |
all files. |
| 156 |
- default config now reads an app-defaults file even without |
| 157 |
--enable-xgetdefaults. |
| 158 |
|
| 159 |
2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004 |
| 160 |
- implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing |
| 161 |
precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is |
| 162 |
also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3. |
| 163 |
- selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8 |
| 164 |
selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode. |
| 165 |
- tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese... |
| 166 |
- a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly. |
| 167 |
- wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux. |
| 168 |
working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode. |
| 169 |
- improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters. |
| 170 |
- implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when |
| 171 |
--disable-xgetdefault. |
| 172 |
- changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701. |
| 173 |
also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific |
| 174 |
unicode character. |
| 175 |
- no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL |
| 176 |
get it wrong. |
| 177 |
- don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle. |
| 178 |
|
| 179 |
2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004 |
| 180 |
- NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in |
| 181 |
this version, see README.configure if you want the old |
| 182 |
settings. |
| 183 |
- added plain "big5" encoding into CN. |
| 184 |
- make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt. |
| 185 |
- fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary, |
| 186 |
causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to |
| 187 |
mbrtowc. |
| 188 |
- more robust encoding name matching. |
| 189 |
- fix cursor placement on multibyte characters. |
| 190 |
- when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces. |
| 191 |
- fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars. |
| 192 |
- remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated |
| 193 |
resources and docs. |
| 194 |
- fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing. |
| 195 |
|
| 196 |
2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004 |
| 197 |
- do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly. |
| 198 |
- some doc cleanup |
| 199 |
- configure cleanup |
| 200 |
- viscii enabled by default |
| 201 |
- better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95). |
| 202 |
|
| 203 |
1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004 |
| 204 |
- build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people. |
| 205 |
|
| 206 |
1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004 |
| 207 |
- fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC. |
| 208 |
- implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed |
| 209 |
up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory. |
| 210 |
- implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens |
| 211 |
startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is |
| 212 |
rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect |
| 213 |
crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash). |
| 214 |
- fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup. |
| 215 |
- fix various memleaks in rxvtd. |
| 216 |
- fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some |
| 217 |
keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim. |
| 218 |
reported by joel reed. |
| 219 |
- re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007). |
| 220 |
- re-enabled menubar (experimental!). |
| 221 |
- fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from |
| 222 |
being selected. |
| 223 |
- implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007). |
| 224 |
- removed greek support. |
| 225 |
- allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled. |
| 226 |
- correct cursor width if !focus. |
| 227 |
- fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch. |
| 228 |
- added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block |
| 229 |
contributed. |
| 230 |
- use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set. |
| 231 |
- fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty. |
| 232 |
- changed default terminal name to "rxvt". |
| 233 |
- many other minor bugfixes. |
| 234 |
|
| 235 |
1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004 |
| 236 |
- almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing |
| 237 |
new bugs, this should not change much. |
| 238 |
- fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support. |
| 239 |
- re-enabled multiple scrollbar support. |
| 240 |
- added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar. |
| 241 |
- blinking and selections work slightly better now. |
| 242 |
- fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful |
| 243 |
of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely. |
| 244 |
(I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...) |
| 245 |
|
| 246 |
1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004 |
| 247 |
- further cleanups. |
| 248 |
- never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have |
| 249 |
color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection |
| 250 |
use reverse video, not _blink_. |
| 251 |
- remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back, |
| 252 |
please drop me a note. |
| 253 |
|
| 254 |
1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004 |
| 255 |
- cleanups, minor bugfixes. |
| 256 |
- blinking text. |
| 257 |
- normal text color + bold gets white text instead of |
| 258 |
normal text when colorBD is not set. |
| 259 |
(- support double-wide characters (by blocking).) |
| 260 |
was never implemented |
| 261 |
|
| 262 |
1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004 |
| 263 |
- share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe |
| 264 |
- bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself |
| 265 |
- colors were sometimes not used correctly because |
| 266 |
parts of the code expected a monochrome display. |
| 267 |
reported by fefe |
| 268 |
- make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by |
| 269 |
Markus Demleitner |
| 270 |
- improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING |
| 271 |
and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1 |
| 272 |
- completely removed non-working graphics mode |
| 273 |
|
| 274 |
1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004 |
| 275 |
- fix stupid segfault on esc-c |
| 276 |
- small font tunings |
| 277 |
- much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed |
| 278 |
- better error reporting for unknown options |
| 279 |
|
| 280 |
1.3 2003-12-26 |
| 281 |
- fix a bug in font height selection |
| 282 |
- autoscale scalable x11 fonts |
| 283 |

| 287 |
- fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt |
| 288 |
- better font matching |
| 289 |
- better memory management (less memory) |
