21
22 TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
23 TODO: kuake
24 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
25 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
26 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
27 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
28 generic osc_seq.
29 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
30 were invoked recursively.
31 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
32 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
33 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
34 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarballe, it had no reason to be there
35 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
36 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
37 by omatunto_.
38
39 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
40 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
41 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
42 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
43 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
44 click, and eats the click.
45 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
46 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
47 refresh bugs please.
48 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
49 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
50 improve size hint setting.
51 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
52 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
53 to correctly position their preedit window.
54 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
55 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
56 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
57 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
58 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
59 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
60 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
61 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
62 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
63 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
64 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
65 (reported by Paco-Paco).
66 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
67 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
68 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
69
70 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
71 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
72 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
73 resource value.
74 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
75 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
76 relevant tab window.
77 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
78 (initial patch by hednod).
79 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
80 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
81 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
82 the benefit of automove-background.
83 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
84 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
85 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
86 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
87 __linux__.
88 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
89 the colour components.
90 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
91 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
92 - more colour rtt optimisations.
93 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
94 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
95 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
96 - minor libptytty update.
97
98 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
99 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
100 detection:
101 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
102 - overlap detection was improved.
103 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
104 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
105 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
106 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
107 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
108 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
109 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
110 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
111 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
112 broken.
113 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
114 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
115 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
116 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
117 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
118 (patch by Paco-Paco).
119 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
120 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
121 an "[alpha]" prefix.
122 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
123 transparent. Long Live Xft!
124 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
125 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
126 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
127 on a pseudocolor screen.
128 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
129 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
130 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
131 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
132 - small configure updates.
133 - further RTT optimisations.
134
135 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
136 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
137 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
138 - small configure updates for libptytty.
139 - fixed version options: line output.
140 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
141
142 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
143 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
144 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
145 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
146 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
147 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
148 selection extension.
149 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
150 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
151 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
152 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
153 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
154 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
155 needs the careful rendering mode.
156 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
157 too wide and needs careful mode.
158 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
159 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
160 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
161 atoms only once per display.
162 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
163 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
164 xterm.
165
166 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
167 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
168 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
169 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
170 ctrl-shift-672c).
171 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
172 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
173 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
174 the primary screen.
175 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
176 could lead to an assertion failure.
177 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
178 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
179 via mouse clicks.
180 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
181 with shift - mouse button 2.
182 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
183 in non-synthetic events.
184 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
185 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
186 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
187 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
188 whole urxvt[d] process.
189 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
190 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
191 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
192 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
193
194 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
195 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
196 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
197 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
198 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
199 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
200 special privileges.
201 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
202 itself.
203 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
204 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
205 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
206 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
207 similar stuff.
208 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
209 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
210 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
211 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
212 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
213 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
214 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
215 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
216 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
217 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
218 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
219 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
220 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
221 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
222 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
223 to set the window title.
224 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
225 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
226 at the wrong time.
227 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
228 anymore.
229 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
230 - nuked QNX support.
231 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
232 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
233 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
234 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
235
236 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
237 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
238 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
239 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
240 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
241 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
242 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
243 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
244 and much much more.
245 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
246 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
247 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
248 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
249 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
250 setuid/setgid.
251 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
252 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
253 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
254 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
255 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
256 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
257 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
258 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
259 compatible, and not really small either.
260 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
261 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
262 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
263 to crashes.
264 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
265 colours.
266 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
267 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
268
269 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
270 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
271 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
272 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
273 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
274 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
275 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
276 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
277 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
278 by Mikachu).
279 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
280 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
281 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
282 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
283 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
284 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
285 - fix directory permissions on install.
286 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
287 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
288 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
289 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
290 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
291
292 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
293 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
294 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
295 Chuck Blake.
296 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
297 obscure the mouse cursor position.
298 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
299 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
300 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
301 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
302 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
303 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
304 transfer efficiency.
305 - further minor cleanups.
306
307 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
308 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
309 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
310 while the user still drags.
311 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
312 not drawn correctly.
313 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
314 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
315 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
316 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
317 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
318 stripping whitespace.
319 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
320 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
321
322 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
323 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
324 - enable slow link support by default.
325 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
326 (also a bug in original rxvt).
327 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
328 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
329 partial patch).
330 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
331 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
332 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
333 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
334 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
335 - implement -hold option.
336 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
337 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
338 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
339 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
340 - slight overall speed improvements.
341 - considerably improved code clarity.
342 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
343 buffer.
344
345 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
346 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
347 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
348 (matters only for rxvtd).
349 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
350 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
351 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
352
353 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
354 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
355 If you want the old behaviour, try:
356 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
357 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
358 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
359 percentage by 100-percentage.
360 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
361 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
362 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
363 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
364 windows.
365 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
366 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
367 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
368 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
369 - replaced INSTALL file.
370
371 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
372 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
373 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
374 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
375 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
376 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
377 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
378 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
379 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
380
381 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
382 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
383 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
384 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
385 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
386 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
387 Affects display in iso14755 box.
388 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
389 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
390 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
391 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
392 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
393 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
394 cutting pieces off of characters.
395 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
396 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
397 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
398 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
399 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
400 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
401 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
402
403 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
404 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
405 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
406 meaning of the given key.
407 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
408 (patch by Martin Edlman).
409
410 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
411 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
412 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
413 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
414 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
415 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
416 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
417 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
418 to disable it.
419
420 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
421 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
422 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
423 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
424 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
425 with modifiers.
426 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
427 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
428 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
429 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
430 and clear the scrollback buffer.
431
432 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
433 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
434 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
435 a command.
436 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
437 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
438 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
439 in Perl/Gtk2.
440 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
441 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
442 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
443 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
444 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
445 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
446 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
447 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
448 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
449 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
450 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
451 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
452 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
453 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
454 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
455 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
456 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
457 rxvt-unicode).
458 - get rid of the intpro files.
459
460 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
461 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
462 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
463 (Kuang-che Wu).
464 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
465 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
466 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
467 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
468 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
469 along with other, similar, cleanups.
470 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
471 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
472 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
473 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
474 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
475 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
476
477 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
478 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
479 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
480 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
481 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
482 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
483 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
484 his patience and time in tracking this down).
485 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
486 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
487 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
488 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
489 by Joël Riou).
490 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
491 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
492 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
493 - shaved off some code segment size.
494 - various code cleanups.
495 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
496
497 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
498 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
499 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
500 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
501 -pixmap is active.
502 - new option/resource imFont.
503 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
504 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
505 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
506 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
507 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
508 (WU Fengguang).
509 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
510 examples (rxvt.1).
511 - removed src/test completely.
512 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
513
514 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
515 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
516 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
517 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
518 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
519 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
520 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
521 resulting in segfaults.
522 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
523 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
524 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
525 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
526 (Mikael Magnusson).
527 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
528 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
529 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
530 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
531 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
532 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
533 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
534 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
535 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
536 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
537 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
538 - initialize the locale much earlier.
539 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
540
541 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
542 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
543 black on initial startup.
544 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
545 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
546 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
547 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
548 additional multimedia keys.
549 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
550 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
551
552 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
553 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
554 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
555 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
556 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
557 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
558 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
559 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
560 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
561 ignored.
562 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
563 instead.
564 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
565 (reported by hednod).
566 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
567 - fix atom name enumeration.
568
569 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
570 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
571 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
572 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
573 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
574 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
575
576 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
577 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
578 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
579 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
580 titles etc.
581 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
582 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
583 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
584 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
585 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
586 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
587 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
588 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
589 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
590 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
591 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
592 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
593 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
594 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
595
596 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
597 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
598 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
599 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
600 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
601 thoroughly.
602 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
603 now, too.
604
605 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
606 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
607 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
608 on high-latency networks.
609 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
610 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
611 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
612 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
613 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
614 by Gunnar Ritter.
615 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
616 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
617
618 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
619 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
620 -ssc/-ssr settings.
621 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
622 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
623 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
624 - add compile fix for darwin.
625 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
626 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
627 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
628
629 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
630 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
631 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
632 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
633 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
634 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
635 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
636 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
637 ... terminated by a fix.
638 - new supported preeeditType "None".
639 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
640 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
641 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
642 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
643 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
644 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
645 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
646 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
647 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
648 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
649 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
650 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
651 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
652 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
653 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
654 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
655 in tracking this down.
656 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
657 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
658
659 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
660 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
661 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
662
663 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
664 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
665 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
666 installed if tic is available.
667 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
668 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
669 - removed README.unicode.
670 - support select&paste of tab characters.
671 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
672 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
673 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
674 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
675 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
676 screen updates with curses.
677 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
678 by spaces.
679 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
680 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
681 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
682 is just too slow for this to work.
683 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
684 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
685 implement. use --enable-styles.
686 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
687 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
688 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
689 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
690 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
691 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
692 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
693 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
694 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
695 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
696 (only for non-bold right now).
697 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
698 - better default font size and style.
699 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
700 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
701 single character against the base font extents and will only
702 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
703 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
704 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
705 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
706 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
707 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
708 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
709 screen height.
710 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
711 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
712 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
713 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
714 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
715 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
716 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
717 - removed OSC 702.
718 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
719 confused by it rather than using it.
720
721 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
722 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
723 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
724 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
725 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
726 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
727 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
728 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
729 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
730 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
731 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
732 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
733 close).
734 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
735 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
736 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
737 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
738 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
739 could not be created.
740 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
741 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
742 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
743 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
744 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
745 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
746 works.
747 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
748 - document more escape sequences.
749 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
750 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
751 character is a sensible operation.
752 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
753 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
754 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
755 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
756 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
757 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
758 with selections).
759
760 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
761 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
762 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
763 needs access to a local shell window).
764 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
765 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
766 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
767 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
768 a little window or so) would be welcome.
769 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
770 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
771 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
772 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
773 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
774 added there.
775 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
776 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
777 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
778 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
779 instead of being ignored.
780 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
781 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
782 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
783 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
784 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
785 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
786 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
787 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
788 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
789 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
790 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
791 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
792 needs testing anyways.
793 - more complete compile options help output.
794 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
795 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
796 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
797 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
798 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
799 - minor doc fix.
800
801 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
802 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
803 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
804 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
805 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
806 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
807 memmove :)
808 - minor cleanups.
809 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
810 (debian bug #169415).
811 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
812 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
813 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
814 - updated config.guess.
815
816 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
817 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
818 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
819 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
820 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
821 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
822 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
823 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
824 speeding up scrolling immensely.
825 - various other optimizations.
826 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
827
828 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
829 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
830 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
831 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
832 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
833 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
834 Mikael Magnusson).
835 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
836 Mikael Magnusson).
837 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
838 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
839 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
840
841 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
842 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
843 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
844 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
845 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
846 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
847 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
848 with ^V (SYN).
849 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
850
851 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
852 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
853 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
854 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
855 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
856 well as with other terminal emulators.
857 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
858 (reported by elmex).
859 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
860 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
861 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
862 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
863 Bloch.
864
865 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
866 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
867 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
868 sorry).
869 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
870 make it a little bit more correct c++).
871
872 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
873 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
874 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
875 - minor i18n issue fixes.
876
877 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
878 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
879 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
880 - fix some minor bugs.
881
882 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
883 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
884 for the keymappings.
885 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
886 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
887 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
888 an extension and is slightly ugly.
889 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
890 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
891 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
892 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
893 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
894 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
895 overwritten (as is common).
896 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
897 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
898
899 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
900 - minor doc corrections.
901 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
902 avoid clashes with xterm.
903 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
904 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
905 window colour when arg is "?".
906 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
907 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
908 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
909 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
910 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
911 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
912 (FRILLS).
913 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
914 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
915 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
916 - set _NET_WM_PID.
917
918 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
919 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
920 - support more 8-bit controls.
921 - more informative error messages.
922 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
923 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
924 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
925 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
926 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
927
928 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
929 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
930 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
931 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
932 - removed old selection style completely.
933 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
934 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
935 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
936 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
937 be used from within rxvt.
938 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
939
940 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
941 - code cleanup release.
942 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
943 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
944 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
945 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
946 all files.
947 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
948 --enable-xgetdefaults.
949
950 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
951 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
952 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
953 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
954 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
955 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
956 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
957 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
958 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
959 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
960 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
961 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
962 --disable-xgetdefault.
963 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
964 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
965 unicode character.
966 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
967 get it wrong.
968 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
969
970 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
971 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
972 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
973 settings.
974 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
975 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
976 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
977 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
978 mbrtowc.
979 - more robust encoding name matching.
980 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
981 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
982 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
983 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
984 resources and docs.
985 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
986
987 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
988 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
989 - some doc cleanup
990 - configure cleanup
991 - viscii enabled by default
992 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
993
994 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
995 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
996
997 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
998 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
999 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1000 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1001 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1002 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1003 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1004 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1005 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1006 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1007 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1008 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1009 reported by joel reed.
1010 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1011 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1012 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1013 being selected.
1014 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1015 - removed greek support.
1016 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1017 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1018 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1019 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1020 contributed.
1021 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1022 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1023 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1024 - many other minor bugfixes.
1025
1026 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1027 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1028 new bugs, this should not change much.
1029 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1030 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1031 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1032 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1033 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1034 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1035 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1036
1037 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1038 - further cleanups.
1039 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1040 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1041 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1042 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1043 please drop me a note.
1044
1045 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1046 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1047 - blinking text.
1048 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1049 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1050 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1051 was never implemented
1052
1053 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1054 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1055 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1056 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1057 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1058 reported by fefe
1059 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1060 Markus Demleitner
1061 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1062 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1063 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1064
1065 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1066 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1067 - small font tunings
1068 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
1069 - better error reporting for unknown options
1070
1071 1.3 2003-12-26
1072 - fix a bug in font height selection
1073 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1074 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1075 - much faster x11 font selection
1076
1077 1.2 2003-12-24
1078 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1079 - better font matching
1080 - better memory management (less memory)
1081 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1082
1083 1.1 2003-12-18
1084 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1085 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1086 - much improved font choosing
