14 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
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 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
21 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
22 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt).
23
24 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
25 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
26 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
27 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
28 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
29 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
30 Affects display in iso14755 box.
31 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
32 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
33 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
34 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
35 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
36 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
37 cutting pieces off of characters.
38 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
39 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
40 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
41 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
42 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
43 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
44 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
45
46 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
47 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
48 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
49 meaning of the given key.
50 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
51 (patch by Martin Edlman).
52
53 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
54 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
55 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
56 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
57 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
58 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
59 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
60 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
61 to disble it.
62
63 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
64 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
65 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
66 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
67 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
68 with modifiers.
69 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
70 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
71 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
72 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
73 and clear the scrollback buffer.
74
75 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
76 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
77 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
78 a command.
79 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
80 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
81 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
82 in Perl/Gtk2.
83 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
84 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
85 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
86 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
87 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
88 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
89 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
90 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
91 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
92 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
93 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
94 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
95 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
96 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
97 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
98 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
99 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
100 rxvt-unicode).
101 - get rid of the intpro files.
102
103 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
104 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
105 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
106 (Kuang-che Wu).
107 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
108 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
109 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
110 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
111 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
112 along with other, similar, cleanups.
113 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
114 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
115 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
116 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
117 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
118 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
119
120 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
121 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
122 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
123 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
124 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
125 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
126 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
127 his patience and time in tracking this down).
128 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
129 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
130 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
131 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
132 by Joël Riou).
133 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
134 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
135 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
136 - shaved off some code segment size.
137 - various code cleanups.
138 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
139
140 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
141 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
142 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
143 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
144 -pixmap is active.
145 - new option/resource imFont.
146 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
147 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
148 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
149 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
150 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
151 (WU Fengguang).
152 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
153 examples (rxvt.1).
154 - removed src/test completely.
155 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
156
157 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
158 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
159 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
160 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
161 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
162 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
163 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
164 resulting in segfaults.
165 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
166 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
167 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
168 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
169 (Mikael Magnusson).
170 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
171 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
172 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
173 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
174 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
175 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
176 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
177 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
178 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
179 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
180 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
181 - initialize the locale much earlier.
182 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
183
184 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
185 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
186 black on initial startup.
187 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
188 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
189 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
190 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
191 additional multimedia keys.
192 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
193 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
194
195 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
196 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
197 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
198 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
199 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
200 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
201 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
202 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
203 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
204 ignored.
205 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
206 instead.
207 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
208 (reported by hednod).
209 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
210 - fix atom name enumeration.
211
212 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
213 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
214 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
215 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
216 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
217 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
218
219 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
220 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
221 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
222 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
223 titles etc.
224 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
225 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
226 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
227 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
228 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
229 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
230 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
231 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
232 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
233 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
234 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
235 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
236 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
237 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
238
239 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
240 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
241 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
242 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
243 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
244 thoroughly.
245 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
246 now, too.
247
248 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
249 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
250 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
251 on high-latency networks.
252 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
253 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
254 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
255 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
256 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
257 by Gunnar Ritter.
258 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
259 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
260
261 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
262 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
263 -ssc/-ssr settings.
264 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
265 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
266 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
267 - add compile fix for darwin.
268 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
269 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
270 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
271
272 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
273 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
274 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
275 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
276 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
277 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
278 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
279 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
280 ... terminated by a fix.
281 - new supported preeeditType "None".
282 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
283 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
284 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
285 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
286 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
287 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
288 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
289 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
290 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
291 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
292 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
293 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
294 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
295 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
296 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
297 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
298 in tracking this down.
299 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
300 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
301
302 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
303 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
304 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
305
306 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
307 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
308 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
309 installed if tic is available.
310 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
311 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
312 - removed README.unicode.
313 - support select&paste of tab characters.
314 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
315 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
316 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
317 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
318 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
319 screen updates with curses.
320 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
321 by spaces.
322 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
323 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
324 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
325 is just too slow for this to work.
326 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
327 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
328 implement. use --enable-styles.
329 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
330 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
331 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
332 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
333 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
334 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
335 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
336 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
337 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
338 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
339 (only for non-bold right now).
340 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
341 - better default font size and style.
342 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
343 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
344 single character against the base font extents and will only
345 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
346 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
347 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
348 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
349 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
350 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
351 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
352 screen height.
353 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
354 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
355 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
356 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
357 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
358 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
359 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
360 - removed OSC 702.
361 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
362 confused by it rather than using it.
363
364 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
365 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
366 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
367 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
368 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
369 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
370 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
371 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
372 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
373 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
374 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
375 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
376 close).
377 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
378 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
379 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
380 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
381 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
382 could not be created.
383 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
384 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
385 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
386 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
387 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
388 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
389 works.
390 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
391 - document more escape sequences.
392 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
393 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
394 character is a sensible operation.
395 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
396 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
397 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
398 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
399 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
400 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
401 with selections).
402
403 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
404 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
405 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
406 needs access to a local shell window).
407 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
408 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
409 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
410 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
411 a little window or so) would be welcome.
412 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
413 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
414 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
415 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
416 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
417 added there.
418 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
419 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
420 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
421 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
422 instead of being ignored.
423 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
424 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
425 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
426 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
427 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
428 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
429 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
430 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
431 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
432 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
433 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
434 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
435 needs testing anyways.
436 - more complete compile options help output.
437 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
438 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
439 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
440 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
441 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
442 - minor doc fix.
443
444 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
445 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
446 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
447 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
448 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
449 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
450 memmove :)
451 - minor cleanups.
452 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
453 (debian bug #169415).
454 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
455 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
456 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
457 - updated config.guess.
458
459 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
460 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
461 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
462 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
463 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
464 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
465 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
466 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
467 speeding up scrolling immensely.
468 - various other optimizations.
469 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
470
471 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
472 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
473 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
474 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
475 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
476 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
477 Mikael Magnusson).
478 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
479 Mikael Magnusson).
480 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
481 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
482 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
483
484 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
485 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
486 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
487 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
488 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
489 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
490 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
491 with ^V (SYN).
492 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
493
494 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
495 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
496 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
497 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
498 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
499 well as with other terminal emulators.
500 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
501 (reported by elmex).
502 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
503 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
504 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
505 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
506 Bloch.
507
508 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
509 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
510 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
511 sorry).
512 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
513 make it a little bit more correct c++).
514
515 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
516 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
517 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
518 - minor i18n issue fixes.
519
520 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
521 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
522 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
523 - fix some minor bugs.
524
525 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
526 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
527 for the keymappings.
528 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
529 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
530 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
531 an extension and is slightly ugly.
532 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
533 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
534 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
535 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
536 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
537 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
538 overwritten (as is common).
539 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
540 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
541
542 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
543 - minor doc corrections.
544 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
545 avoid clashes with xterm.
546 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
547 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
548 window colour when arg is "?".
549 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
550 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
551 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
552 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
553 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
554 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
555 (FRILLS).
556 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
557 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
558 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
559 - set _NET_WM_PID.
560
561 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
562 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
563 - support more 8-bit controls.
564 - more informative error messages.
565 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
566 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
567 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
568 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
569 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
570
571 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
572 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
573 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
574 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
575 - removed old selection style completely.
576 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
577 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
578 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
579 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
580 be used from within rxvt.
581 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
582
583 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
584 - code cleanup release.
585 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
586 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
587 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
588 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
589 all files.
590 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
591 --enable-xgetdefaults.
592
593 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
594 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
595 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
596 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
597 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
598 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
599 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
600 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
601 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
602 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
603 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
604 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
605 --disable-xgetdefault.
606 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
607 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
608 unicode character.
609 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
610 get it wrong.
611 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
612
613 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
614 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
615 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
616 settings.
617 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
618 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
619 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
620 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
621 mbrtowc.
622 - more robust encoding name matching.
623 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
624 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
625 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
626 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
627 resources and docs.
628 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
629
630 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
631 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
632 - some doc cleanup
633 - configure cleanup
634 - viscii enabled by default
635 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
636
637 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
638 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
639
640 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
641 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
642 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
643 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
644 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
645 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
646 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
647 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
648 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
649 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
650 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
651 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
652 reported by joel reed.
653 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
654 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
655 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
656 being selected.
657 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
658 - removed greek support.
659 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
660 - correct cursor width if !focus.
661 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
662 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
663 contributed.
664 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
665 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
666 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
667 - many other minor bugfixes.
668
669 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
670 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
671 new bugs, this should not change much.
672 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
673 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
674 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
675 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
676 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
677 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
678 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
679
680 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
681 - further cleanups.
682 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
683 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
684 use reverse video, not _blink_.
685 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
686 please drop me a note.
687
688 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
689 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
690 - blinking text.
691 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
692 normal text when colorBD is not set.
693 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
694 was never implemented
695
696 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
697 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
698 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
699 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
700 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
701 reported by fefe
702 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
703 Markus Demleitner
704 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
705 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
706 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
707
708 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
709 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
710 - small font tunings
711 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
712 - better error reporting for unknown options
713
714 1.3 2003-12-26
715 - fix a bug in font height selection
716 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
717 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
718 - much faster x11 font selection
719
720 1.2 2003-12-24
721 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
722 - better font matching
723 - better memory management (less memory)
724 - new fallback: gnu freefont
725
726 1.1 2003-12-18
727 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
728 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
729 - much improved font choosing
730

733 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
734 - removed rclock et al.
735 - initial conversion to C++
736
