14 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
15 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
16 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
17 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
18 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
19 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
20 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
21 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
22 to disble it.
23
24 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
25 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
26 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
27 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
28 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
29 with modifiers.
30 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
31 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
32 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
33 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
34 and clear the scrollback buffer.
35
36 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
37 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
38 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
39 a command.
40 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
41 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
42 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
43 in Perl/Gtk2.
44 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
45 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
46 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
47 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
48 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
49 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
50 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
51 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
52 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
53 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
54 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
55 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
56 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
57 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
58 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
59 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
60 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
61 rxvt-unicode).
62 - get rid of the intpro files.
63
64 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
65 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
66 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
67 (Kuang-che Wu).
68 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
69 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
70 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
71 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
72 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
73 along with other, similar, cleanups.
74 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
75 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
76 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
77 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
78 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
79 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
80
81 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
82 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
83 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
84 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
85 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
86 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
87 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
88 his patience and time in tracking this down).
89 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
90 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
91 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
92 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
93 by Joël Riou).
94 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
95 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
96 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
97 - shaved off some code segment size.
98 - various code cleanups.
99 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
100
101 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
102 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
103 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
104 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
105 -pixmap is active.
106 - new option/resource imFont.
107 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
108 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
109 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
110 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
111 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
112 (WU Fengguang).
113 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
114 examples (rxvt.1).
115 - removed src/test completely.
116 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
117
118 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
119 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
120 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
121 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
122 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
123 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
124 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
125 resulting in segfaults.
126 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
127 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
128 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
129 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
130 (Mikael Magnusson).
131 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
132 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
133 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
134 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
135 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
136 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
137 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
138 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
139 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
140 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
141 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
142 - initialize the locale much earlier.
143 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
144
145 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
146 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
147 black on initial startup.
148 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
149 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
150 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
151 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
152 additional multimedia keys.
153 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
154 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
155
156 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
157 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
158 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
159 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
160 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
161 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
162 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
163 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
164 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
165 ignored.
166 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
167 instead.
168 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
169 (reported by hednod).
170 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
171 - fix atom name enumeration.
172
173 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
174 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
175 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
176 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
177 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
178 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
179
180 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
181 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
182 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
183 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
184 titles etc.
185 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
186 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
187 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
188 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
189 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
190 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
191 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
192 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
193 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
194 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
195 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
196 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
197 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
198 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
199
200 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
201 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
202 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
203 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
204 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
205 thoroughly.
206 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
207 now, too.
208
209 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
210 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
211 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
212 on high-latency networks.
213 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
214 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
215 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
216 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
217 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
218 by Gunnar Ritter.
219 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
220 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
221
222 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
223 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
224 -ssc/-ssr settings.
225 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
226 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
227 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
228 - add compile fix for darwin.
229 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
230 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
231 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
232
233 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
234 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
235 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
236 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
237 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
238 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
239 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
240 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
241 ... terminated by a fix.
242 - new supported preeeditType "None".
243 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
244 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
245 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
246 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
247 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
248 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
249 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
250 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
251 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
252 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
253 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
254 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
255 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
256 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
257 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
258 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
259 in tracking this down.
260 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
261 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
262
263 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
264 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
265 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
266
267 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
268 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
269 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
270 installed if tic is available.
271 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
272 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
273 - removed README.unicode.
274 - support select&paste of tab characters.
275 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
276 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
277 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
278 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
279 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
280 screen updates with curses.
281 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
282 by spaces.
283 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
284 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
285 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
286 is just too slow for this to work.
287 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
288 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
289 implement. use --enable-styles.
290 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
291 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
292 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
293 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
294 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
295 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
296 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
297 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
298 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
299 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
300 (only for non-bold right now).
301 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
302 - better default font size and style.
303 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
304 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
305 single character against the base font extents and will only
306 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
307 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
308 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
309 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
310 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
311 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
312 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
313 screen height.
314 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
315 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
316 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
317 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
318 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
319 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
320 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
321 - removed OSC 702.
322 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
323 confused by it rather than using it.
324
325 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
326 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
327 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
328 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
329 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
330 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
331 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
332 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
333 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
334 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
335 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
336 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
337 close).
338 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
339 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
340 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
341 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
342 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
343 could not be created.
344 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
345 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
346 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
347 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
348 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
349 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
350 works.
351 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
352 - document more escape sequences.
353 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
354 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
355 character is a sensible operation.
356 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
357 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
358 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
359 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
360 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
361 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
362 with selections).
363
364 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
365 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
366 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
367 needs access to a local shell window).
368 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
369 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
370 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
371 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
372 a little window or so) would be welcome.
373 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
374 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
375 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
376 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
377 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
378 added there.
379 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
380 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
381 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
382 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
383 instead of being ignored.
384 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
385 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
386 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
387 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
388 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
389 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
390 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
391 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
392 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
393 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
394 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
395 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
396 needs testing anyways.
397 - more complete compile options help output.
398 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
399 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
400 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
401 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
402 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
403 - minor doc fix.
404
405 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
406 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
407 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
408 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
409 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
410 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
411 memmove :)
412 - minor cleanups.
413 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
414 (debian bug #169415).
415 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
416 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
417 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
418 - updated config.guess.
419
420 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
421 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
422 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
423 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
424 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
425 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
426 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
427 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
428 speeding up scrolling immensely.
429 - various other optimizations.
430 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
431
432 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
433 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
434 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
435 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
436 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
437 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
438 Mikael Magnusson).
439 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
440 Mikael Magnusson).
441 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
442 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
443 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
444
445 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
446 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
447 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
448 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
449 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
450 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
451 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
452 with ^V (SYN).
453 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).

455 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
456 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
457 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
458 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
459 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
460 well as with other terminal emulators.
461 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
462 (reported by elmex).
463 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
464 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
465 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
466 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
467 Bloch.
468
469 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
470 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
471 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
472 sorry).
473 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
474 make it a little bit more correct c++).
475
476 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
477 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
478 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
479 - minor i18n issue fixes.
480
481 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
482 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
483 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
484 - fix some minor bugs.
485
486 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
487 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
488 for the keymappings.
489 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
490 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
491 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
492 an extension and is slightly ugly.
493 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
494 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
495 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
496 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
497 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
498 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
499 overwritten (as is common).
500 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
501 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
502
503 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
504 - minor doc corrections.
505 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
506 avoid clashes with xterm.
507 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
508 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
509 window colour when arg is "?".
510 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
511 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
512 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
513 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
514 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
515 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
516 (FRILLS).
517 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
518 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
519 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
520 - set _NET_WM_PID.
521
522 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
523 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
524 - support more 8-bit controls.
525 - more informative error messages.
526 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
527 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
528 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
529 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
530 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
531
532 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
533 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
534 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
535 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
536 - removed old selection style completely.
537 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
538 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
539 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
540 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
541 be used from within rxvt.
542 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
543
544 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
545 - code cleanup release.
546 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
547 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
548 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
549 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
550 all files.
551 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
552 --enable-xgetdefaults.
553
554 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
555 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
556 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
557 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
558 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
559 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
560 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
561 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
562 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
563 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
564 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
565 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
566 --disable-xgetdefault.
567 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
568 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
569 unicode character.
570 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
571 get it wrong.
572 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
573
574 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
575 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
576 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
577 settings.
578 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
579 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
580 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
581 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
582 mbrtowc.
583 - more robust encoding name matching.
584 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
585 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
586 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
587 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
588 resources and docs.
589 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
590
591 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
592 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
593 - some doc cleanup
594 - configure cleanup
595 - viscii enabled by default
596 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
597
598 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
599 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
600
601 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
602 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
603 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
604 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
605 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
606 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
607 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
608 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
609 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
610 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
611 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
612 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
613 reported by joel reed.
614 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
615 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
616 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
617 being selected.
618 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
619 - removed greek support.
620 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
621 - correct cursor width if !focus.
622 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
623 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
624 contributed.
625 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
626 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
627 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
628 - many other minor bugfixes.
629
630 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
631 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
632 new bugs, this should not change much.
633 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
634 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
635 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
636 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
637 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
638 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
639 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
640
641 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
642 - further cleanups.
643 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
644 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
645 use reverse video, not _blink_.
646 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
647 please drop me a note.
648
649 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
650 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
651 - blinking text.
652 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
653 normal text when colorBD is not set.
654 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
655 was never implemented
656
657 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
658 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
659 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
660 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
661 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
662 reported by fefe
663 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
664 Markus Demleitner
665 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
666 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
667 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
668
669 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
670 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
671 - small font tunings
672 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
673 - better error reporting for unknown options
674
675 1.3 2003-12-26
676 - fix a bug in font height selection
677 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
678 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
679 - much faster x11 font selection
680
681 1.2 2003-12-24
682 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
683 - better font matching
684 - better memory management (less memory)
685 - new fallback: gnu freefont
686
687 1.1 2003-12-18
688 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
689 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
690 - much improved font choosing
691
692 1.0
693 - first release
694 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
695 - removed rclock et al.
696 - initial conversion to C++
697
