14 5.2
15 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
16 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
17 a command.
18 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
19 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
20 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
21 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
22 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
23 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
24 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
25 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
26 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
27 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
28 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
29 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
30 rxvt-unicode).
31 - get rid of the intpro files.
32
33 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
34 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
35 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
36 (Kuang-che Wu).
37 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
38 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
39 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
40 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
41 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
42 along with other, similar, cleanups.
43 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
44 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
45 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
46 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
47 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
48 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
49
50 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
51 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
52 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
53 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
54 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
55 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
56 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
57 his patience and time in tracking this down).
58 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
59 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
60 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
61 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
62 by Joël Riou).
63 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
64 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
65 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
66 - shaved off some code segment size.
67 - various code cleanups.
68 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
69
70 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
71 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
72 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
73 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
74 -pixmap is active.
75 - new option/resource imFont.
76 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
77 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
78 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
79 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
80 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
81 (WU Fengguang).
82 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
83 examples (rxvt.1).
84 - removed src/test completely.
85 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
86
87 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
88 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
89 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
90 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
91 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
92 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
93 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
94 resulting in segfaults.
95 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
96 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
97 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
98 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
99 (Mikael Magnusson).
100 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
101 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
102 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
103 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
104 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
105 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
106 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
107 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
108 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
109 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
110 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
111 - initialize the locale much earlier.
112 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
113
114 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
115 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
116 black on initial startup.
117 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
118 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
119 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
120 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
121 additional multimedia keys.
122 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
123 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
124
125 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
126 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
127 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
128 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
129 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
130 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
131 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
132 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
133 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
134 ignored.
135 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
136 instead.
137 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
138 (reported by hednod).
139 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
140 - fix atom name enumeration.
141
142 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
143 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
144 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
145 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
146 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
147 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
148
149 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
150 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
151 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
152 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
153 titles etc.
154 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
155 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
156 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
157 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
158 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
159 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
160 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
161 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
162 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
163 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
164 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
165 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
166 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
167 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
168
169 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
170 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
171 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
172 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
173 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
174 thoroughly.
175 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
176 now, too.
177
178 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
179 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
180 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
181 on high-latency networks.
182 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
183 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
184 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
185 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
186 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
187 by Gunnar Ritter.
188 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
189 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
190
191 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
192 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
193 -ssc/-ssr settings.
194 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
195 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
196 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
197 - add compile fix for darwin.
198 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
199 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
200 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
201
202 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
203 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
204 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
205 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
206 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
207 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
208 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
209 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
210 ... terminated by a fix.
211 - new supported preeeditType "None".
212 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
213 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
214 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
215 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
216 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
217 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
218 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
219 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
220 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
221 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
222 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
223 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
224 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
225 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
226 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
227 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
228 in tracking this down.
229 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
230 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
231
232 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
233 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
234 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
235
236 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
237 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
238 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
239 installed if tic is available.
240 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
241 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
242 - removed README.unicode.
243 - support select&paste of tab characters.
244 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
245 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
246 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
247 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
248 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
249 screen updates with curses.
250 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
251 by spaces.
252 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
253 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
254 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
255 is just too slow for this to work.
256 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
257 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
258 implement. use --enable-styles.
259 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
260 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
261 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
262 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
263 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
264 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
265 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
266 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
267 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
268 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
269 (only for non-bold right now).
270 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
271 - better default font size and style.
272 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
273 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
274 single character against the base font extents and will only
275 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
276 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
277 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
278 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
279 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
280 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
281 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
282 screen height.
283 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
284 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
285 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
286 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
287 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
288 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
289 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
290 - removed OSC 702.
291 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
292 confused by it rather than using it.
293
294 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
295 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
296 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
297 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
298 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
299 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
300 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
301 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
302 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
303 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
304 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
305 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
306 close).
307 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
308 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
309 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
310 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
311 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
312 could not be created.
313 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
314 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
315 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
316 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
317 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
318 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
319 works.
320 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
321 - document more escape sequences.
322 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
323 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
324 character is a sensible operation.
325 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
326 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
327 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
328 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
329 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
330 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
331 with selections).
332
333 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
334 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
335 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
336 needs access to a local shell window).
337 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
338 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
339 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
340 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
341 a little window or so) would be welcome.
342 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
343 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
344 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
345 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
346 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
347 added there.
348 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
349 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
350 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
351 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
352 instead of being ignored.
353 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
354 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
355 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
356 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
357 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
358 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
359 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
360 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
361 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
362 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
363 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
364 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
365 needs testing anyways.
366 - more complete compile options help output.
367 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
368 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
369 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
370 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
371 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
372 - minor doc fix.
373
374 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
375 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
376 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
377 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
378 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
379 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
380 memmove :)
381 - minor cleanups.
382 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
383 (debian bug #169415).
384 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
385 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
386 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
387 - updated config.guess.
388
389 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
390 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
391 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
392 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
393 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
394 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
395 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
396 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
397 speeding up scrolling immensely.
398 - various other optimizations.
399 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
400
401 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
402 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
403 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
404 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
405 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
406 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
407 Mikael Magnusson).
408 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
409 Mikael Magnusson).
410 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
411 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
412 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
413
414 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
415 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
416 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
417 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
418 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
419 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
420 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
421 with ^V (SYN).
422 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
423
424 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
425 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
426 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
427 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
428 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
429 well as with other terminal emulators.
430 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
431 (reported by elmex).
432 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
433 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
434 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
435 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
436 Bloch.
437
438 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
439 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
440 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
441 sorry).
442 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
443 make it a little bit more correct c++).
444
445 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
446 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
447 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
448 - minor i18n issue fixes.
449
450 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
451 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
452 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
453 - fix some minor bugs.
454
455 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
456 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
457 for the keymappings.
458 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
459 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
460 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
461 an extension and is slightly ugly.
462 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
463 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
464 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
465 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
466 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
467 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
468 overwritten (as is common).
469 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
470 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
471
472 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
473 - minor doc corrections.
474 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
475 avoid clashes with xterm.
476 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
477 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
478 window colour when arg is "?".
479 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
480 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
481 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
482 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
483 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
484 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
485 (FRILLS).
486 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
487 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
488 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
489 - set _NET_WM_PID.
490
491 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
492 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
493 - support more 8-bit controls.
494 - more informative error messages.
495 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
496 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
497 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
498 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
499 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
500
501 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
502 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
503 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
504 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
505 - removed old selection style completely.
506 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
507 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
508 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
509 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
510 be used from within rxvt.
511 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
512
513 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
514 - code cleanup release.
515 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
516 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
517 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
518 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
519 all files.
520 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
521 --enable-xgetdefaults.
522
523 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
524 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
525 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
526 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
527 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
528 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
529 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
530 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
531 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
532 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
533 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
534 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
535 --disable-xgetdefault.
536 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
537 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
538 unicode character.
539 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
540 get it wrong.
541 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
542
543 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
544 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
545 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
546 settings.
547 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
548 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
549 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
550 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
551 mbrtowc.
552 - more robust encoding name matching.
553 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
554 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
555 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
556 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
557 resources and docs.
558 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
559
560 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
561 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
562 - some doc cleanup
563 - configure cleanup
564 - viscii enabled by default
565 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
566
567 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
568 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
569
570 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
571 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
572 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
573 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
574 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
575 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
576 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
577 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
578 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
579 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
580 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
581 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
582 reported by joel reed.
583 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
584 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
585 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
586 being selected.
587 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
588 - removed greek support.
589 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
590 - correct cursor width if !focus.
591 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
592 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
593 contributed.
594 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
595 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
596 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
597 - many other minor bugfixes.
598
599 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
600 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
601 new bugs, this should not change much.
602 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
603 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
604 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
605 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
606 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
607 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
608 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
609
610 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
611 - further cleanups.
612 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
613 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
614 use reverse video, not _blink_.
615 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
616 please drop me a note.
617
618 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
619 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
620 - blinking text.
621 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
622 normal text when colorBD is not set.
623 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
624 was never implemented
625
626 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
627 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
628 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
629 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
630 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
631 reported by fefe
632 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
633 Markus Demleitner
634 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
635 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
636 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
637
638 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
639 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
640 - small font tunings

642 - better error reporting for unknown options
643
644 1.3 2003-12-26
645 - fix a bug in font height selection
646 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
647 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
648 - much faster x11 font selection
649
650 1.2 2003-12-24
651 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
652 - better font matching
653 - better memory management (less memory)
654 - new fallback: gnu freefont
