15 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
16 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
17 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
18 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
19 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
20
21 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
22 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
23 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
24 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
25 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
26 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
27 Affects display in iso14755 box.
28 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
29 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
30 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
31 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
32 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
33 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
34 cutting pieces off of characters.
35 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
36 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
37 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
38 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
39 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
40 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
41 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
42
43 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
44 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
45 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
46 meaning of the given key.
47 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
48 (patch by Martin Edlman).
49
50 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
51 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
52 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
53 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
54 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
55 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
56 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
57 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
58 to disble it.
59
60 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
61 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
62 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
63 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
64 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
65 with modifiers.
66 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
67 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
68 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
69 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
70 and clear the scrollback buffer.
71
72 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
73 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
74 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
75 a command.
76 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
77 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
78 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
79 in Perl/Gtk2.
80 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
81 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
82 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
83 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
84 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
85 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
86 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
87 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
88 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
89 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
90 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
91 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
92 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
93 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
94 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
95 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
96 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
97 rxvt-unicode).
98 - get rid of the intpro files.
99
100 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
101 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
102 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
103 (Kuang-che Wu).
104 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
105 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
106 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
107 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
108 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
109 along with other, similar, cleanups.
110 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
111 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
112 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
113 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
114 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
115 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
116
117 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
118 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
119 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
120 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
121 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
122 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
123 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
124 his patience and time in tracking this down).
125 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
126 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
127 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
128 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
129 by Joël Riou).
130 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
131 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
132 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
133 - shaved off some code segment size.
134 - various code cleanups.
135 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
136
137 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
138 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
139 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
140 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
141 -pixmap is active.
142 - new option/resource imFont.
143 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
144 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
145 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
146 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
147 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
148 (WU Fengguang).
149 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
150 examples (rxvt.1).
151 - removed src/test completely.
152 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
153
154 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
155 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
156 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
157 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
158 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
159 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
160 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
161 resulting in segfaults.
162 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
163 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
164 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
165 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
166 (Mikael Magnusson).
167 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
168 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
169 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
170 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
171 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
172 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
173 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
174 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
175 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
176 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
177 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
178 - initialize the locale much earlier.
179 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
180
181 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
182 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
183 black on initial startup.
184 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
185 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
186 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
187 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
188 additional multimedia keys.
189 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
190 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
191
192 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
193 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
194 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
195 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
196 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
197 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
198 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
199 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
200 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
201 ignored.
202 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
203 instead.
204 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
205 (reported by hednod).
206 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
207 - fix atom name enumeration.
208
209 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
210 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
211 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
212 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
213 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
214 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
215
216 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
217 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
218 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
219 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
220 titles etc.
221 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
222 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
223 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
224 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
225 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
226 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
227 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
228 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
229 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
230 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
231 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
232 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
233 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
234 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
235
236 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
237 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
238 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
239 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
240 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
241 thoroughly.
242 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
243 now, too.
244
245 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
246 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
247 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
248 on high-latency networks.
249 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
250 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
251 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
252 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
253 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
254 by Gunnar Ritter.
255 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
256 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
257
258 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
259 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
260 -ssc/-ssr settings.
261 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
262 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
263 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
264 - add compile fix for darwin.
265 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
266 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
267 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
268
269 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
270 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
271 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
272 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
273 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
274 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
275 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
276 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
277 ... terminated by a fix.
278 - new supported preeeditType "None".
279 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
280 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
281 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
282 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
283 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
284 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
285 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
286 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
287 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
288 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
289 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
290 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
291 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
292 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
293 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
294 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
295 in tracking this down.
296 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
297 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
298
299 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
300 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
301 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
302
303 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
304 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
305 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
306 installed if tic is available.
307 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
308 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
309 - removed README.unicode.
310 - support select&paste of tab characters.
311 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
312 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
313 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
314 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
315 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
316 screen updates with curses.
317 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
318 by spaces.
319 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
320 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
321 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
322 is just too slow for this to work.
323 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
324 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
325 implement. use --enable-styles.
326 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
327 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
328 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
329 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
330 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
331 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
332 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
333 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
334 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
335 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
336 (only for non-bold right now).
337 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
338 - better default font size and style.
339 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
340 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
341 single character against the base font extents and will only
342 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
343 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
344 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
345 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
346 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
347 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
348 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
349 screen height.
350 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
351 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
352 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
353 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
354 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
355 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
356 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
357 - removed OSC 702.
358 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
359 confused by it rather than using it.
360
361 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
362 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
363 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
364 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
365 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
366 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
367 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
368 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
369 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
370 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
371 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
372 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
373 close).
374 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
375 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
376 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
377 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
378 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
379 could not be created.
380 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
381 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
382 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
383 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
384 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
385 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
386 works.
387 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
388 - document more escape sequences.
389 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
390 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
391 character is a sensible operation.
392 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
393 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
394 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
395 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
396 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
397 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
398 with selections).
399
400 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
401 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
402 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
403 needs access to a local shell window).
404 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
405 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
406 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
407 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
408 a little window or so) would be welcome.
409 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
410 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
411 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
412 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
413 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
414 added there.
415 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
416 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
417 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
418 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
419 instead of being ignored.
420 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
421 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
422 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
423 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
424 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
425 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
426 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
427 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
428 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
429 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
430 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
431 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
432 needs testing anyways.
433 - more complete compile options help output.
434 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
435 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
436 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
437 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
438 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
439 - minor doc fix.
440
441 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
442 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
443 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
444 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
445 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
446 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
447 memmove :)
448 - minor cleanups.
449 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
450 (debian bug #169415).
451 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
452 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
453 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
454 - updated config.guess.
455
456 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
457 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
458 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
459 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
460 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
461 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
462 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
463 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
464 speeding up scrolling immensely.
465 - various other optimizations.
466 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
467
468 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
469 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
470 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
471 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
472 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
473 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
474 Mikael Magnusson).
475 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
476 Mikael Magnusson).
477 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
478 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
479 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
480
481 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
482 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
483 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
484 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
485 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
486 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
487 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
488 with ^V (SYN).
489 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
490
491 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
492 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
493 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
494 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
495 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
496 well as with other terminal emulators.
497 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
498 (reported by elmex).
499 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
500 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
501 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
502 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
503 Bloch.
504
505 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
506 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
507 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
508 sorry).
509 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
510 make it a little bit more correct c++).
511
512 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
513 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
514 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
515 - minor i18n issue fixes.
516
517 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
518 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
519 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
520 - fix some minor bugs.
521
522 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
523 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
524 for the keymappings.
525 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
526 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
527 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
528 an extension and is slightly ugly.
529 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
530 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
531 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
532 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
533 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
534 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
535 overwritten (as is common).
536 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
537 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
538
539 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
540 - minor doc corrections.
541 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
542 avoid clashes with xterm.
543 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
544 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
545 window colour when arg is "?".
546 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
547 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
548 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
549 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
550 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
551 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
552 (FRILLS).
553 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
554 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
555 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
556 - set _NET_WM_PID.
557
558 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
559 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
560 - support more 8-bit controls.
561 - more informative error messages.
562 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
563 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
564 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
565 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
566 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
567
568 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
569 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
570 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
571 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
572 - removed old selection style completely.
573 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
574 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
575 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
576 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
577 be used from within rxvt.
578 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
579
580 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
581 - code cleanup release.
582 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
583 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
584 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
585 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
586 all files.
587 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
588 --enable-xgetdefaults.
589
590 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
591 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
592 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
593 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
594 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
595 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
596 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
597 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
598 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
599 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
600 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
601 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
602 --disable-xgetdefault.
603 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
604 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
605 unicode character.
606 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
607 get it wrong.
608 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
609
610 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
611 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
612 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
613 settings.
614 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
615 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
616 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
617 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
618 mbrtowc.
619 - more robust encoding name matching.
620 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
621 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
622 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
623 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
624 resources and docs.
625 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
626
627 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
628 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
629 - some doc cleanup
630 - configure cleanup
631 - viscii enabled by default
632 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
633
634 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
635 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
636
637 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
638 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
639 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
640 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
641 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
642 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
643 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
644 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
645 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
646 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
647 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
648 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
649 reported by joel reed.
650 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
651 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
652 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
653 being selected.
654 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
655 - removed greek support.
656 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
657 - correct cursor width if !focus.
658 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
659 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
660 contributed.
661 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
662 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
663 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
664 - many other minor bugfixes.
665
666 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
667 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
668 new bugs, this should not change much.
669 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
670 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
671 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
672 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
673 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
674 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
675 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
676
677 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
678 - further cleanups.
679 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
680 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
681 use reverse video, not _blink_.
682 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
683 please drop me a note.
684
685 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
686 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
687 - blinking text.
688 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
689 normal text when colorBD is not set.
690 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
691 was never implemented
692
693 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
694 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
695 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
696 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
697 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
698 reported by fefe
699 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
700 Markus Demleitner
701 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
702 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
703 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
704
705 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
706 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
707 - small font tunings
708 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
709 - better error reporting for unknown options
710
711 1.3 2003-12-26
712 - fix a bug in font height selection
713 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
714 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
715 - much faster x11 font selection
716
717 1.2 2003-12-24
718 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
719 - better font matching
720 - better memory management (less memory)
721 - new fallback: gnu freefont
722
723 1.1 2003-12-18
724 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
725 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
726 - much improved font choosing
727
728 1.0
729 - first release
730 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
731 - removed rclock et al.
732 - initial conversion to C++
733
