1 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2
3 TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
4 TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
5 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
6 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7 TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
8 WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
9 WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
10 WISH: support tex fonts
11
12 TODO: document transient_for, vt
13
14 - perl: implement additional hook: line_update, add_lines.
15 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
16 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
17 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support.
18
19 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
20 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
21 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
22 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
23 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
24 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
25 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
26 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
27 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
28 by Mikachu).
29 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
30 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
31 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
32 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
33 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
34 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
35 - fix directory permissions on install.
36 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
37 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
38 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
39 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
40 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
41
42 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
43 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
44 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
45 Chuck Blake.
46 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
47 obscure the mouse cursor position.
48 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
49 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
50 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
51 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
52 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
53 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
54 transfer efficiency.
55 - further minor cleanups.
56
57 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
58 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
59 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
60 while the user still drags.
61 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
62 not drawn correctly.
63 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
64 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
65 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
66 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
67 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
68 stripping whitespace.
69 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
70 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
71
72 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
73 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
74 - enable slow link support by default.
75 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
76 (also a bug in original rxvt).
77 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
78 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
79 partial patch).
80 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
81 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
82 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
83 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
84 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
85 - implement -hold option.
86 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
87 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
88 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
89 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
90 - slight overall speed improvements.
91 - considerably improved code clarity.
92 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
93 buffer.
94
95 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
96 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
97 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
98 (matters only for rxvtd).
99 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
100 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
101 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
102
103 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
104 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
105 If you want the old behaviour, try:
106 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
107 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
108 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
109 percentage by 100-percentage.
110 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
111 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
112 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
113 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
114 windows.
115 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
116 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
117 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
118 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
119 - replaced INSTALL file.
120
121 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
122 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
123 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
124 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
125 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
126 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
127 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
128 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
129 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
130
131 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
132 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
133 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
134 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
135 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
136 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
137 Affects display in iso14755 box.
138 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
139 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
140 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
141 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
142 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
143 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
144 cutting pieces off of characters.
145 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
146 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
147 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
148 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
149 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
150 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
151 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
152
153 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
154 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
155 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
156 meaning of the given key.
157 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
158 (patch by Martin Edlman).
159
160 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
161 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
162 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
163 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
164 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
165 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
166 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
167 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
168 to disable it.
169
170 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
171 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
172 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
173 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
174 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
175 with modifiers.
176 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
177 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
178 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
179 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
180 and clear the scrollback buffer.
181
182 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
183 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
184 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
185 a command.
186 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
187 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
188 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
189 in Perl/Gtk2.
190 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
191 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
192 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
193 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
194 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
195 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
196 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
197 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
198 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
199 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
200 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
201 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
202 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
203 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
204 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
205 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
206 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
207 rxvt-unicode).
208 - get rid of the intpro files.
209
210 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
211 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
212 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
213 (Kuang-che Wu).
214 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
215 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
216 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
217 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
218 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
219 along with other, similar, cleanups.
220 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
221 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
222 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
223 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
224 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
225 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
226
227 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
228 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
229 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
230 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
231 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
232 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
233 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
234 his patience and time in tracking this down).
235 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
236 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
237 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
238 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
239 by Joël Riou).
240 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
241 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
242 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
243 - shaved off some code segment size.
244 - various code cleanups.
245 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
246
247 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
248 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
249 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
250 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
251 -pixmap is active.
252 - new option/resource imFont.
253 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
254 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
255 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
256 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
257 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
258 (WU Fengguang).
259 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
260 examples (rxvt.1).
261 - removed src/test completely.
262 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
263
264 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
265 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
266 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
267 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
268 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
269 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
270 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
271 resulting in segfaults.
272 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
273 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
274 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
275 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
276 (Mikael Magnusson).
277 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
278 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
279 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
280 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
281 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
282 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
283 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
284 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
285 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
286 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
287 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
288 - initialize the locale much earlier.
289 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
290
291 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
292 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
293 black on initial startup.
294 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
295 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
296 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
297 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
298 additional multimedia keys.
299 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
300 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
301
302 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
303 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
304 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
305 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
306 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
307 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
308 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
309 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
310 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
311 ignored.
312 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
313 instead.
314 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
315 (reported by hednod).
316 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
317 - fix atom name enumeration.
318
319 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
320 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
321 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
322 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
323 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
324 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
325
326 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
327 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
328 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
329 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
330 titles etc.
331 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
332 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
333 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
334 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
335 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
336 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
337 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
338 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
339 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
340 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
341 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
342 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
343 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
344 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
345
346 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
347 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
348 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
349 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
350 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
351 thoroughly.
352 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
353 now, too.
354
355 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
356 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
357 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
358 on high-latency networks.
359 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
360 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
361 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
362 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
363 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
364 by Gunnar Ritter.
365 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
366 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
367
368 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
369 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
370 -ssc/-ssr settings.
371 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
372 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
373 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
374 - add compile fix for darwin.
375 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
376 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
377 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
378
379 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
380 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
381 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
382 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
383 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
384 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
385 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
386 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
387 ... terminated by a fix.
388 - new supported preeeditType "None".
389 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
390 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
391 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
392 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
393 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
394 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
395 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
396 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
397 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
398 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
399 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
400 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
401 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
402 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
403 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
404 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
405 in tracking this down.
406 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
407 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
408
409 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
410 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
411 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
412
413 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
414 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
415 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
416 installed if tic is available.
417 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
418 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
419 - removed README.unicode.
420 - support select&paste of tab characters.
421 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
422 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
423 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
424 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
425 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
426 screen updates with curses.
427 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
428 by spaces.
429 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
430 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
431 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
432 is just too slow for this to work.
433 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
434 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
435 implement. use --enable-styles.
436 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
437 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
438 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
439 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
440 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
441 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
442 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
443 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
444 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
445 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
446 (only for non-bold right now).
447 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
448 - better default font size and style.
449 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
450 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
451 single character against the base font extents and will only
452 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
453 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
454 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
455 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
456 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
457 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
458 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
459 screen height.
460 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
461 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
462 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
463 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
464 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
465 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
466 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
467 - removed OSC 702.
468 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
469 confused by it rather than using it.
470
471 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
472 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
473 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
474 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
475 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
476 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
477 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
478 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
479 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
480 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
481 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
482 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
483 close).
484 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
485 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
486 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
487 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
488 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
489 could not be created.
490 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
491 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
492 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
493 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
494 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
495 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
496 works.
497 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
498 - document more escape sequences.
499 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
500 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
501 character is a sensible operation.
502 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
503 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
504 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
505 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
506 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
507 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
508 with selections).
509
510 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
511 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
512 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
513 needs access to a local shell window).
514 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
515 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
516 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
517 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
518 a little window or so) would be welcome.
519 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
520 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
521 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
522 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
523 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
524 added there.
525 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
526 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
527 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
528 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
529 instead of being ignored.
530 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
531 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
532 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
533 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
534 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
535 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
536 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
537 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
538 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
539 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
540 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
541 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
542 needs testing anyways.
543 - more complete compile options help output.
544 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
545 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
546 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
547 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
548 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
549 - minor doc fix.
550
551 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
552 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
553 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
554 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
555 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
556 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
557 memmove :)
558 - minor cleanups.
559 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
560 (debian bug #169415).
561 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
562 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
563 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
564 - updated config.guess.
565
566 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
567 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
568 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
569 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
570 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
571 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
572 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
573 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
574 speeding up scrolling immensely.
575 - various other optimizations.
576 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
577
578 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
579 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
580 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
581 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
582 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
583 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
584 Mikael Magnusson).
585 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
586 Mikael Magnusson).
587 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
588 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
589 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
590
591 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
592 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
593 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
594 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
595 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
596 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
597 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
598 with ^V (SYN).
599 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
600
601 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
602 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
603 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
604 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
605 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
606 well as with other terminal emulators.
607 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
608 (reported by elmex).
609 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
610 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
611 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
612 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
613 Bloch.
614
615 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
616 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
617 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
618 sorry).
619 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
620 make it a little bit more correct c++).
621
622 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
623 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
624 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
625 - minor i18n issue fixes.
626
627 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
628 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
629 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
630 - fix some minor bugs.
631
632 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
633 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
634 for the keymappings.
635 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
636 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
637 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
638 an extension and is slightly ugly.
639 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
640 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
641 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
642 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
643 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
644 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
645 overwritten (as is common).
646 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
647 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
648
649 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
650 - minor doc corrections.
651 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
652 avoid clashes with xterm.
653 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
654 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
655 window colour when arg is "?".
656 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
657 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
658 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
659 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
660 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
661 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
662 (FRILLS).
663 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
664 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
665 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
666 - set _NET_WM_PID.
667
668 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
669 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
670 - support more 8-bit controls.
671 - more informative error messages.
672 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
673 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
674 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
675 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
676 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
677
678 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
679 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
680 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
681 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
682 - removed old selection style completely.
683 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
684 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
685 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
686 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
687 be used from within rxvt.
688 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
689
690 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
691 - code cleanup release.
692 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
693 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
694 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
695 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
696 all files.
697 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
698 --enable-xgetdefaults.
699
700 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
701 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
702 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
703 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
704 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
705 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
706 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
707 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
708 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
709 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
710 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
711 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
712 --disable-xgetdefault.
713 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
714 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
715 unicode character.
716 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
717 get it wrong.
718 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
719
720 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
721 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
722 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
723 settings.
724 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
725 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
726 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
727 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
728 mbrtowc.
729 - more robust encoding name matching.
730 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
731 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
732 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
733 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
734 resources and docs.
735 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
736
737 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
738 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
739 - some doc cleanup
740 - configure cleanup
741 - viscii enabled by default
742 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
743
744 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
745 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
746
747 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
748 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
749 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
750 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
751 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
752 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
753 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
754 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
755 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
756 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
757 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
758 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
759 reported by joel reed.
760 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
761 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
762 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
763 being selected.
764 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
765 - removed greek support.
766 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
767 - correct cursor width if !focus.
768 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
769 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
770 contributed.
771 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
772 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
773 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
774 - many other minor bugfixes.
775
776 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
777 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
778 new bugs, this should not change much.
779 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
780 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
781 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
782 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
783 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
784 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
785 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
786
787 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
788 - further cleanups.
789 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
790 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
791 use reverse video, not _blink_.
792 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
793 please drop me a note.
794
795 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
796 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
797 - blinking text.
798 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
799 normal text when colorBD is not set.
800 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
801 was never implemented
802
803 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
804 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
805 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
806 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
807 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
808 reported by fefe
809 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
810 Markus Demleitner
811 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
812 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
813 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
814
815 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
816 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
817 - small font tunings
818 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
819 - better error reporting for unknown options
820
821 1.3 2003-12-26
822 - fix a bug in font height selection
823 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
824 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
825 - much faster x11 font selection
826
827 1.2 2003-12-24
828 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
829 - better font matching
830 - better memory management (less memory)
831 - new fallback: gnu freefont
832
833 1.1 2003-12-18
834 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
835 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
836 - much improved font choosing
837
838 1.0
839 - first release
840 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
841 - removed rclock et al.
842 - initial conversion to C++
843
