25 5.8
26 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
27 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
28 percentage by 100-percentage.
29 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
30 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
31 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
32 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
33 windows.
34 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
35 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
36 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
37 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
38
39 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
40 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
41 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
42 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
43 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
44 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
45 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
46 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
47 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt).
48
49 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
50 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
51 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
52 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
53 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
54 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
55 Affects display in iso14755 box.
56 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
57 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
58 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
59 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
60 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
61 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
62 cutting pieces off of characters.
63 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
64 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
65 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
66 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
67 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
68 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
69 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
70
71 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
72 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
73 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
74 meaning of the given key.
75 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
76 (patch by Martin Edlman).
77
78 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
79 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
80 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
81 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
82 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
83 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
84 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
85 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
86 to disble it.
87
88 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
89 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
90 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
91 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
92 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
93 with modifiers.
94 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
95 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
96 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
97 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
98 and clear the scrollback buffer.
99
100 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
101 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
102 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
103 a command.
104 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
105 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
106 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
107 in Perl/Gtk2.
108 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
109 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
110 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
111 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
112 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
113 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
114 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
115 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
116 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
117 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
118 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
119 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
120 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
121 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
122 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
123 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
124 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
125 rxvt-unicode).
126 - get rid of the intpro files.
127
128 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
129 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
130 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
131 (Kuang-che Wu).
132 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
133 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
134 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
135 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
136 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
137 along with other, similar, cleanups.
138 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
139 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
140 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
141 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
142 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
143 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
144
145 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
146 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
147 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
148 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
149 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
150 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
151 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
152 his patience and time in tracking this down).
153 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
154 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
155 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
156 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
157 by Joël Riou).
158 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
159 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
160 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
161 - shaved off some code segment size.
162 - various code cleanups.
163 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
164
165 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
166 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
167 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
168 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
169 -pixmap is active.
170 - new option/resource imFont.
171 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
172 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
173 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
174 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
175 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
176 (WU Fengguang).
177 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
178 examples (rxvt.1).
179 - removed src/test completely.
180 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
181
182 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
183 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
184 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
185 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
186 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
187 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
188 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
189 resulting in segfaults.
190 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
191 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
192 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
193 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
194 (Mikael Magnusson).
195 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
196 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
197 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
198 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
199 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
200 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
201 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
202 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
203 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
204 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
205 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
206 - initialize the locale much earlier.
207 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
208
209 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
210 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
211 black on initial startup.
212 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
213 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
214 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
215 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
216 additional multimedia keys.
217 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
218 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
219
220 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
221 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
222 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
223 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
224 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
225 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
226 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
227 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
228 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
229 ignored.
230 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
231 instead.
232 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
233 (reported by hednod).
234 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
235 - fix atom name enumeration.
236
237 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
238 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
239 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
240 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
241 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
242 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
243
244 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
245 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
246 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
247 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
248 titles etc.
249 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
250 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
251 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
252 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
253 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
254 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
255 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
256 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
257 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
258 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
259 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
260 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
261 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
262 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
263
264 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
265 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
266 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
267 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
268 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
269 thoroughly.
270 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
271 now, too.
272
273 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
274 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
275 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
276 on high-latency networks.
277 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
278 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
279 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
280 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
281 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
282 by Gunnar Ritter.
283 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
284 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
285
286 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
287 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
288 -ssc/-ssr settings.
289 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
290 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
291 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
292 - add compile fix for darwin.
293 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
294 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
295 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
296
297 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
298 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
299 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
300 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
301 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
302 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
303 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
304 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
305 ... terminated by a fix.
306 - new supported preeeditType "None".
307 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
308 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
309 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
310 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
311 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
312 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
313 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
314 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
315 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
316 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
317 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
318 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
319 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
320 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
321 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
322 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
323 in tracking this down.
324 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
325 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
326
327 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
328 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
329 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
330
331 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
332 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
333 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
334 installed if tic is available.
335 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
336 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
337 - removed README.unicode.
338 - support select&paste of tab characters.
339 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
340 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
341 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
342 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
343 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
344 screen updates with curses.
345 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
346 by spaces.
347 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
348 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
349 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
350 is just too slow for this to work.
351 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
352 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
353 implement. use --enable-styles.
354 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
355 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
356 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
357 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
358 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
359 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
360 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
361 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
362 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
363 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
364 (only for non-bold right now).
365 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
366 - better default font size and style.
367 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
368 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
369 single character against the base font extents and will only
370 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
371 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
372 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
373 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
374 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
375 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
376 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
377 screen height.
378 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
379 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
380 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
381 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
382 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
383 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
384 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
385 - removed OSC 702.
386 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
387 confused by it rather than using it.
388
389 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
390 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
391 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
392 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
393 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
394 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
395 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
396 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
397 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
398 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
399 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
400 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
401 close).
402 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
403 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
404 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
405 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
406 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
407 could not be created.
408 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
409 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
410 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
411 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
412 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
413 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
414 works.
415 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
416 - document more escape sequences.
417 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
418 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
419 character is a sensible operation.
420 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
421 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
422 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
423 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
424 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
425 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
426 with selections).
427
428 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
429 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
430 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
431 needs access to a local shell window).
432 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
433 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
434 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
435 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
436 a little window or so) would be welcome.
437 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
438 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
439 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
440 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
441 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
442 added there.
443 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
444 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
445 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
446 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
447 instead of being ignored.
448 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
449 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
450 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
451 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
452 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
453 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
454 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
455 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
456 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
457 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
458 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
459 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
460 needs testing anyways.
461 - more complete compile options help output.
462 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
463 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
464 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
465 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
466 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
467 - minor doc fix.
468
469 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
470 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
471 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
472 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
473 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
474 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
475 memmove :)
476 - minor cleanups.
477 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
478 (debian bug #169415).
479 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
480 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
481 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
482 - updated config.guess.
483
484 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
485 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
486 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
487 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
488 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
489 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
490 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
491 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
492 speeding up scrolling immensely.
493 - various other optimizations.
494 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
495
496 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
497 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
498 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
499 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
500 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
501 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
502 Mikael Magnusson).
503 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
504 Mikael Magnusson).
505 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
506 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
507 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
508
509 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
510 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
511 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
512 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
513 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
514 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
515 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
516 with ^V (SYN).
517 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
518
519 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
520 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
521 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
522 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
523 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
524 well as with other terminal emulators.
525 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
526 (reported by elmex).
527 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
528 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
529 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
530 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
531 Bloch.
532
533 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
534 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
535 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
536 sorry).
537 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
538 make it a little bit more correct c++).
539
540 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
541 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
542 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
543 - minor i18n issue fixes.
544
545 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
546 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
547 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
548 - fix some minor bugs.
549
550 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
551 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
552 for the keymappings.
553 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
554 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
555 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
556 an extension and is slightly ugly.
557 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
558 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
559 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
560 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
561 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
562 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
563 overwritten (as is common).
564 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
565 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
566
567 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
568 - minor doc corrections.
569 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
570 avoid clashes with xterm.
571 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
572 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
573 window colour when arg is "?".
574 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
575 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
576 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
577 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
578 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
579 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
580 (FRILLS).
581 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
582 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
583 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
584 - set _NET_WM_PID.
585
586 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
587 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
588 - support more 8-bit controls.
589 - more informative error messages.
590 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
591 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
592 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
593 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
594 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
595
596 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
597 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
598 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
599 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
600 - removed old selection style completely.
601 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
602 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
603 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
604 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
605 be used from within rxvt.
606 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
607
608 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
609 - code cleanup release.
610 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
611 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
612 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
613 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
614 all files.
615 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
616 --enable-xgetdefaults.
617
618 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
619 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
620 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
621 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
622 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
623 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
624 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
625 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
626 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
627 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
628 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
629 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
630 --disable-xgetdefault.
631 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
632 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
633 unicode character.
634 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
635 get it wrong.
636 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
637
638 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
639 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
640 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
641 settings.
642 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
643 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
644 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
645 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
646 mbrtowc.
647 - more robust encoding name matching.
648 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
649 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
650 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
651 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
652 resources and docs.
653 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
654
655 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
656 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
657 - some doc cleanup
658 - configure cleanup
659 - viscii enabled by default
660 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
661
662 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
663 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
664
665 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
666 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
667 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
668 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
669 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
670 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
671 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
672 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
673 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
674 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
675 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
676 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
677 reported by joel reed.
678 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
679 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
680 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
681 being selected.
682 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
683 - removed greek support.
684 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
685 - correct cursor width if !focus.
686 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
687 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
688 contributed.
689 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
690 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
691 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
692 - many other minor bugfixes.
693
694 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
695 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
696 new bugs, this should not change much.
697 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
698 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
699 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
700 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
701 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
702 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
703 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
704
705 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
706 - further cleanups.
707 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
708 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
709 use reverse video, not _blink_.
710 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
711 please drop me a note.
712
713 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
714 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
715 - blinking text.
716 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
717 normal text when colorBD is not set.
718 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
719 was never implemented
720
721 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
722 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
723 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
724 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
725 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
726 reported by fefe
727 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
728 Markus Demleitner
729 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
730 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
731 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
732
733 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
734 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
735 - small font tunings
736 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
737 - better error reporting for unknown options
738
739 1.3 2003-12-26
740 - fix a bug in font height selection
741 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
742 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
743 - much faster x11 font selection
744
745 1.2 2003-12-24
746 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
747 - better font matching
748 - better memory management (less memory)
749 - new fallback: gnu freefont
750
751 1.1 2003-12-18
752 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
753 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
754 - much improved font choosing
755
756 1.0
757 - first release
758 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
759 - removed rclock et al.
760 - initial conversion to C++
761
