15 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
16 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
17 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
18 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
19 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
20 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
21 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
22 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
23 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
24 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
25 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
26 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
27 rxvt-unicode).
28 - get rid of the intpro files.
29
30 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
31 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
32 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
33 (Kuang-che Wu).
34 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
35 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
36 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
37 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
38 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
39 along with other, similar, cleanups.
40 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
41 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
42 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
43 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
44 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
45 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
46
47 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
48 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
49 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
50 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
51 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
52 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
53 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
54 his patience and time in tracking this down).
55 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
56 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
57 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
58 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
59 by Joël Riou).
60 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
61 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
62 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
63 - shaved off some code segment size.
64 - various code cleanups.
65 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
66
67 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
68 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
69 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
70 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
71 -pixmap is active.
72 - new option/resource imFont.
73 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
74 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
75 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
76 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
77 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
78 (WU Fengguang).
79 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
80 examples (rxvt.1).
81 - removed src/test completely.
82 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
83
84 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
85 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
86 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
87 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
88 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
89 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
90 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
91 resulting in segfaults.
92 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
93 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
94 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
95 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
96 (Mikael Magnusson).
97 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
98 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
99 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
100 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
101 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
102 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
103 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
104 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
105 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
106 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
107 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
108 - initialize the locale much earlier.
109 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
110
111 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
112 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
113 black on initial startup.
114 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
115 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
116 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
117 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
118 additional multimedia keys.
119 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
120 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
121
122 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
123 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
124 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
125 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
126 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
127 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
128 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
129 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
130 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
131 ignored.
132 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
133 instead.
134 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
135 (reported by hednod).
136 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
137 - fix atom name enumeration.
138
139 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
140 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
141 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
142 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
143 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
144 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
145
146 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
147 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
148 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
149 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
150 titles etc.
151 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
152 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
153 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
154 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
155 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
156 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
157 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
158 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
159 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
160 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
161 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
162 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
163 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
164 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
165
166 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
167 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
168 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
169 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
170 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
171 thoroughly.
172 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
173 now, too.
174
175 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
176 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
177 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
178 on high-latency networks.
179 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
180 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
181 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
182 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
183 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
184 by Gunnar Ritter.
185 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
186 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
187
188 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
189 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
190 -ssc/-ssr settings.
191 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
192 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
193 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
194 - add compile fix for darwin.
195 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
196 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
197 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
198
199 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
200 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
201 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
202 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
203 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
204 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
205 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
206 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
207 ... terminated by a fix.
208 - new supported preeeditType "None".
209 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
210 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
211 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
212 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
213 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
214 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
215 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
216 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
217 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
218 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
219 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
220 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
221 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
222 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
223 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
224 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
225 in tracking this down.
226 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
227 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
228
229 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
230 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
231 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
232
233 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
234 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
235 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
236 installed if tic is available.
237 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
238 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
239 - removed README.unicode.
240 - support select&paste of tab characters.
241 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
242 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
243 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
244 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
245 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
246 screen updates with curses.
247 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
248 by spaces.
249 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
250 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
251 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
252 is just too slow for this to work.
253 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
254 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
255 implement. use --enable-styles.
256 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
257 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
258 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
259 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
260 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
261 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
262 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
263 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
264 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
265 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
266 (only for non-bold right now).
267 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
268 - better default font size and style.
269 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
270 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
271 single character against the base font extents and will only
272 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
273 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
274 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
275 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
276 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
277 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
278 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
279 screen height.
280 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
281 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
282 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
283 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
284 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
285 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
286 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
287 - removed OSC 702.
288 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
289 confused by it rather than using it.
290
291 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
292 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
293 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
294 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
295 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
296 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
297 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
298 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
299 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
300 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
301 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
302 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
303 close).
304 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
305 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
306 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
307 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
308 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
309 could not be created.
310 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
311 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
312 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
313 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
314 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
315 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
316 works.
317 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
318 - document more escape sequences.
319 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
320 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
321 character is a sensible operation.
322 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
323 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
324 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
325 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
326 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
327 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
328 with selections).
329
330 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
331 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
332 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
333 needs access to a local shell window).
334 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
335 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
336 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
337 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
338 a little window or so) would be welcome.
339 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
340 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
341 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
342 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
343 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
344 added there.
345 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
346 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
347 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
348 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
349 instead of being ignored.
350 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
351 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
352 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
353 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
354 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
355 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
356 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
357 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
358 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
359 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
360 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
361 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
362 needs testing anyways.
363 - more complete compile options help output.
364 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
365 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
366 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
367 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
368 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
369 - minor doc fix.
370
371 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
372 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
373 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
374 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
375 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
376 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
377 memmove :)
378 - minor cleanups.
379 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
380 (debian bug #169415).
381 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
382 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
383 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
384 - updated config.guess.
385
386 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
387 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
388 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
389 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
390 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
391 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
392 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
393 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
394 speeding up scrolling immensely.
395 - various other optimizations.
396 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
397
398 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
399 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
400 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
401 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
402 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
403 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
404 Mikael Magnusson).
405 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
406 Mikael Magnusson).
407 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
408 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
409 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
410
411 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
412 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
413 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
414 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
415 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
416 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
417 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
418 with ^V (SYN).
419 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
420
421 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
422 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
423 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
424 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
425 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
426 well as with other terminal emulators.
427 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
428 (reported by elmex).
429 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
430 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
431 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
432 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
433 Bloch.
434
435 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
436 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
437 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
438 sorry).
439 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
440 make it a little bit more correct c++).
441
442 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
443 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
444 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
445 - minor i18n issue fixes.
446
447 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
448 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
449 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
450 - fix some minor bugs.
451
452 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
453 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
454 for the keymappings.
455 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
456 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
457 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
458 an extension and is slightly ugly.
459 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
460 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
461 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
462 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
463 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
464 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
465 overwritten (as is common).
466 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
467 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
468
469 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
470 - minor doc corrections.
471 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
472 avoid clashes with xterm.
473 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
474 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
475 window colour when arg is "?".
476 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
477 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
478 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
479 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
480 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
481 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
482 (FRILLS).
483 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
484 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
485 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
486 - set _NET_WM_PID.
487
488 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
489 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
490 - support more 8-bit controls.
491 - more informative error messages.
492 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
493 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
494 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
495 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
496 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
497
498 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
499 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
500 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
501 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
502 - removed old selection style completely.
503 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
504 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
505 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
506 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
507 be used from within rxvt.
508 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
509
510 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
511 - code cleanup release.
512 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
513 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
514 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
515 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
516 all files.
517 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
518 --enable-xgetdefaults.
519
520 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
521 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
522 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
523 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
524 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
525 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
526 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
527 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
528 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
529 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
530 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
531 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
532 --disable-xgetdefault.
533 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
534 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
535 unicode character.
536 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
537 get it wrong.
538 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
539
540 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
541 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
542 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
543 settings.
544 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
545 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
546 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
547 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
548 mbrtowc.
549 - more robust encoding name matching.
550 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
551 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
552 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
553 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
554 resources and docs.
555 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
556
557 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
558 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
559 - some doc cleanup
560 - configure cleanup
561 - viscii enabled by default
562 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
563
564 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
565 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
566
567 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
568 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
569 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
570 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
571 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
572 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
573 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
574 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
575 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
576 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
577 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
578 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
579 reported by joel reed.
580 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
581 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
582 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
583 being selected.
584 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
585 - removed greek support.
586 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
587 - correct cursor width if !focus.
588 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
589 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
590 contributed.
591 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
592 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
593 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
594 - many other minor bugfixes.
595
596 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
597 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
598 new bugs, this should not change much.
599 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
600 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
601 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
602 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
603 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
604 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
605 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
606
607 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
608 - further cleanups.
609 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
610 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
611 use reverse video, not _blink_.
612 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
613 please drop me a note.
614
615 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
616 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
617 - blinking text.
618 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
619 normal text when colorBD is not set.
620 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
621 was never implemented
622
623 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
624 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
625 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
626 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
627 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
628 reported by fefe
629 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
630 Markus Demleitner
631 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
632 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
633 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
634
635 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
636 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
637 - small font tunings

639 - better error reporting for unknown options
640
641 1.3 2003-12-26
642 - fix a bug in font height selection
643 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts

645 - much faster x11 font selection
646
647 1.2 2003-12-24
648 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
649 - better font matching
650 - better memory management (less memory)
651 - new fallback: gnu freefont
652
653 1.1 2003-12-18
654 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
655 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
656 - much improved font choosing
657
