14 5.6
15 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
16 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
17 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
18 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
19 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
20 Affects display in iso14755 box.
21 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
22 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
23 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
24 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
25 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
26 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
27 cutting pieces off of characters.
28 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
29 fonts that will likely overshoot or underhsoot lines.
30 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
31 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
32 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
33 output in the next line if they (reported by Mikachu).
34
35 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
36 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
37 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
38 meaning of the given key.
39 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
40 (patch by Martin Edlman).
41
42 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
43 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
44 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
45 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
46 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
47 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
48 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
49 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
50 to disble it.
51
52 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
53 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
54 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
55 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
56 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
57 with modifiers.
58 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
59 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
60 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
61 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
62 and clear the scrollback buffer.
63
64 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
65 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
66 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
67 a command.
68 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
69 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
70 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
71 in Perl/Gtk2.
72 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
73 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
74 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
75 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
76 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
77 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
78 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
79 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
80 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
81 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
82 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
83 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
84 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
85 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
86 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
87 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
88 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
89 rxvt-unicode).
90 - get rid of the intpro files.
91
92 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
93 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
94 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
95 (Kuang-che Wu).
96 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
97 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
98 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
99 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
100 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
101 along with other, similar, cleanups.
102 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
103 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
104 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
105 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
106 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
107 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
108
109 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
110 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
111 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
112 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
113 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
114 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
115 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
116 his patience and time in tracking this down).
117 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
118 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
119 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
120 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
121 by Joël Riou).
122 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
123 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
124 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
125 - shaved off some code segment size.
126 - various code cleanups.
127 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
128
129 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
130 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
131 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
132 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
133 -pixmap is active.
134 - new option/resource imFont.
135 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
136 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
137 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
138 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
139 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
140 (WU Fengguang).
141 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
142 examples (rxvt.1).
143 - removed src/test completely.
144 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
145
146 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
147 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
148 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
149 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
150 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
151 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
152 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
153 resulting in segfaults.
154 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
155 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
156 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
157 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
158 (Mikael Magnusson).
159 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
160 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
161 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
162 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
163 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
164 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
165 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
166 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
167 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
168 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
169 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
170 - initialize the locale much earlier.
171 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
172
173 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
174 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
175 black on initial startup.
176 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
177 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
178 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
179 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
180 additional multimedia keys.
181 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
182 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
183
184 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
185 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
186 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
187 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
188 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
189 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
190 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
191 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
192 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
193 ignored.
194 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
195 instead.
196 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
197 (reported by hednod).
198 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
199 - fix atom name enumeration.
200
201 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
202 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
203 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
204 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
205 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
206 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
207
208 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
209 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
210 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
211 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
212 titles etc.
213 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
214 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
215 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
216 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
217 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
218 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
219 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
220 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
221 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
222 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
223 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
224 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
225 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
226 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
227
228 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
229 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
230 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
231 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
232 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
233 thoroughly.
234 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
235 now, too.
236
237 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
238 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
239 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
240 on high-latency networks.
241 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
242 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
243 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
244 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
245 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
246 by Gunnar Ritter.
247 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
248 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
249
250 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
251 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
252 -ssc/-ssr settings.
253 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
254 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
255 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
256 - add compile fix for darwin.
257 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
258 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
259 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
260
261 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
262 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
263 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
264 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
265 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
266 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
267 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
268 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
269 ... terminated by a fix.
270 - new supported preeeditType "None".
271 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
272 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
273 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
274 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
275 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
276 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
277 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
278 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
279 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
280 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
281 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
282 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
283 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
284 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
285 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
286 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
287 in tracking this down.
288 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
289 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
290
291 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
292 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
293 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
294
295 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
296 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
297 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
298 installed if tic is available.
299 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
300 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
301 - removed README.unicode.
302 - support select&paste of tab characters.
303 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
304 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
305 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
306 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
307 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
308 screen updates with curses.
309 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
310 by spaces.
311 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
312 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
313 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
314 is just too slow for this to work.
315 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
316 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
317 implement. use --enable-styles.
318 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
319 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
320 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
321 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
322 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
323 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
324 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
325 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
326 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
327 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
328 (only for non-bold right now).
329 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
330 - better default font size and style.
331 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
332 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
333 single character against the base font extents and will only
334 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
335 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
336 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
337 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
338 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
339 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
340 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
341 screen height.
342 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
343 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
344 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
345 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
346 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
347 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
348 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
349 - removed OSC 702.
350 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
351 confused by it rather than using it.
352
353 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
354 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
355 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
356 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
357 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
358 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
359 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
360 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
361 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
362 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
363 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
364 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
365 close).
366 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
367 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
368 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
369 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
370 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
371 could not be created.
372 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
373 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
374 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
375 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
376 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
377 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
378 works.
379 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
380 - document more escape sequences.
381 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
382 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
383 character is a sensible operation.
384 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
385 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
386 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
387 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
388 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
389 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
390 with selections).
391
392 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
393 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
394 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
395 needs access to a local shell window).
396 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
397 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
398 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
399 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
400 a little window or so) would be welcome.
401 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
402 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
403 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
404 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
405 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
406 added there.
407 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
408 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
409 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
410 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
411 instead of being ignored.
412 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
413 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
414 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
415 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
416 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
417 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
418 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
419 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
420 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
421 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
422 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
423 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
424 needs testing anyways.
425 - more complete compile options help output.
426 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
427 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
428 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
429 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
430 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
431 - minor doc fix.
432
433 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
434 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
435 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
436 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
437 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
438 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
439 memmove :)
440 - minor cleanups.
441 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
442 (debian bug #169415).
443 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
444 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
445 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
446 - updated config.guess.
447
448 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
449 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
450 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
451 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
452 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
453 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
454 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
455 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
456 speeding up scrolling immensely.
457 - various other optimizations.
458 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
459
460 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
461 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
462 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
463 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
464 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
465 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
466 Mikael Magnusson).
467 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
468 Mikael Magnusson).
469 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
470 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
471 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
472
473 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
474 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
475 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
476 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
477 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
478 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
479 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
480 with ^V (SYN).
481 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
482
483 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
484 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
485 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
486 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
487 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
488 well as with other terminal emulators.
489 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
490 (reported by elmex).
491 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
492 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
493 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
494 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
495 Bloch.
496
497 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
498 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
499 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
500 sorry).
501 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
502 make it a little bit more correct c++).
503
504 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
505 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
506 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
507 - minor i18n issue fixes.
508
509 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
510 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
511 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
512 - fix some minor bugs.
513
514 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
515 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
516 for the keymappings.
517 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
518 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
519 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
520 an extension and is slightly ugly.
521 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
522 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
523 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
524 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
525 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
526 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
527 overwritten (as is common).
528 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
529 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
530
531 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
532 - minor doc corrections.
533 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
534 avoid clashes with xterm.
535 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
536 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
537 window colour when arg is "?".
538 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
539 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
540 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
541 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
542 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
543 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
544 (FRILLS).
545 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
546 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
547 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
548 - set _NET_WM_PID.
549
550 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
551 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
552 - support more 8-bit controls.
553 - more informative error messages.
554 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
555 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
556 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
557 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
558 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
559
560 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
561 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
562 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
563 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
564 - removed old selection style completely.
565 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
566 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
567 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
568 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
569 be used from within rxvt.
570 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
571
572 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
573 - code cleanup release.
574 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
575 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
576 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
577 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
578 all files.
579 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
580 --enable-xgetdefaults.
581
582 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
583 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
584 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
585 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
586 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
587 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
588 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
589 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
590 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
591 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
592 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
593 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
594 --disable-xgetdefault.
595 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
596 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
597 unicode character.
598 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
599 get it wrong.
600 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
601
602 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
603 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
604 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
605 settings.
606 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
607 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
608 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
609 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
610 mbrtowc.
611 - more robust encoding name matching.
612 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
613 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
614 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
615 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
616 resources and docs.
617 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
618
619 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
620 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
621 - some doc cleanup
622 - configure cleanup
623 - viscii enabled by default
624 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
625
626 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
627 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
628
629 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
630 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
631 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
632 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
633 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
634 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
635 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
636 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
637 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
638 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
639 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
640 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
641 reported by joel reed.
642 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
643 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
644 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
645 being selected.
646 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
647 - removed greek support.
648 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
649 - correct cursor width if !focus.
650 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
651 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
652 contributed.
653 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
654 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
655 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
656 - many other minor bugfixes.
657
658 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
659 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
660 new bugs, this should not change much.
661 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
662 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
663 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
664 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
665 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
666 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
667 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
668
669 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
670 - further cleanups.
671 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
672 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
673 use reverse video, not _blink_.
674 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
675 please drop me a note.
676
677 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
678 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
679 - blinking text.
680 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
681 normal text when colorBD is not set.
682 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
683 was never implemented
684
685 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
686 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
687 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
688 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
689 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
690 reported by fefe
691 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
692 Markus Demleitner
693 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
694 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
695 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
696
697 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
698 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
699 - small font tunings
700 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
701 - better error reporting for unknown options
702
703 1.3 2003-12-26
704 - fix a bug in font height selection
705 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
706 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
707 - much faster x11 font selection
708
709 1.2 2003-12-24
710 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
711 - better font matching
712 - better memory management (less memory)
713 - new fallback: gnu freefont
714
715 1.1 2003-12-18
716 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
717 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
718 - much improved font choosing
719
720 1.0
721 - first release
722 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
723 - removed rclock et al.
724 - initial conversion to C++
725
