18 WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
19 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
20 DUMB: support tex fonts
21
22 TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
23 TODO: kuake
24 TODO: depth resource not working(?)
25 TODO: fix the flaw in the url regex jost pointed out
26 TODO: look into the selection hilight patch
27 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
28 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
29 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
30 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
31 generic osc_seq.
32 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
33 were invoked recursively.
34 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
35 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
36 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
37 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarballe, it had no reason to be there
38 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
39 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
40 by omatunto_.
41 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
42 follow C++ closely enough.
43
44 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
45 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
46 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
47 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
48 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
49 click, and eats the click.
50 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
51 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
52 refresh bugs please.
53 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
54 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
55 improve size hint setting.
56 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
57 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
58 to correctly position their preedit window.
59 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
60 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
61 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
62 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
63 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
64 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
65 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
66 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
67 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
68 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
69 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
70 (reported by Paco-Paco).
71 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
72 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
73 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
74
75 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
76 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
77 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
78 resource value.
79 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
80 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
81 relevant tab window.
82 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
83 (initial patch by hednod).
84 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
85 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
86 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
87 the benefit of automove-background.
88 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
89 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
90 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
91 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
92 __linux__.
93 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
94 the colour components.
95 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
96 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
97 - more colour rtt optimisations.
98 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
99 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
100 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
101 - minor libptytty update.
102
103 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
104 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
105 detection:
106 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
107 - overlap detection was improved.
108 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
109 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
110 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
111 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
112 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
113 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
114 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
115 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
116 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
117 broken.
118 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
119 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
120 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
121 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
122 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
123 (patch by Paco-Paco).
124 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
125 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
126 an "[alpha]" prefix.
127 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
128 transparent. Long Live Xft!
129 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
130 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
131 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
132 on a pseudocolor screen.
133 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
134 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
135 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
136 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
137 - small configure updates.
138 - further RTT optimisations.
139
140 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
141 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
142 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
143 - small configure updates for libptytty.
144 - fixed version options: line output.
145 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
146
147 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
148 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
149 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
150 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
151 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
152 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
153 selection extension.
154 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
155 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
156 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
157 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
158 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
159 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
160 needs the careful rendering mode.
161 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
162 too wide and needs careful mode.
163 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
164 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
165 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
166 atoms only once per display.
167 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
168 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
169 xterm.
170
171 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
172 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
173 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
174 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
175 ctrl-shift-672c).
176 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
177 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
178 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
179 the primary screen.
180 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
181 could lead to an assertion failure.
182 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
183 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
184 via mouse clicks.
185 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
186 with shift - mouse button 2.
187 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
188 in non-synthetic events.
189 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
190 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
191 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
192 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
193 whole urxvt[d] process.
194 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
195 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
196 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
197 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
198
199 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
200 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
201 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
202 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
203 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
204 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
205 special privileges.
206 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
207 itself.
208 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
209 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
210 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
211 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
212 similar stuff.
213 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
214 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
215 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
216 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
217 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
218 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
219 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
220 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
221 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
222 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
223 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
224 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
225 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
226 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
228 to set the window title.
229 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
230 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
231 at the wrong time.
232 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
233 anymore.
234 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
235 - nuked QNX support.
236 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
237 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
238 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
239 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
240
241 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
242 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
243 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
244 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
245 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
246 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
247 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
248 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
249 and much much more.
250 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
251 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
252 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
253 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
254 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
255 setuid/setgid.
256 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
257 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
258 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
259 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
260 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
261 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
263 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
264 compatible, and not really small either.
265 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
266 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
267 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
268 to crashes.
269 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
270 colours.
271 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
272 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
273
274 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
275 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
276 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
277 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
278 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
279 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
280 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
281 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
282 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
283 by Mikachu).
284 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
285 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
286 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
287 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
288 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
289 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
290 - fix directory permissions on install.
291 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
292 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
293 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
294 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
295 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
296
297 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
298 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
299 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
300 Chuck Blake.
301 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
302 obscure the mouse cursor position.
303 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
304 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
305 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
306 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
307 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
308 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
309 transfer efficiency.
310 - further minor cleanups.
311
312 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
313 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
314 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
315 while the user still drags.
316 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
317 not drawn correctly.
318 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
319 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
320 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
321 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
322 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
323 stripping whitespace.
324 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
325 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
326
327 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
328 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
329 - enable slow link support by default.
330 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
331 (also a bug in original rxvt).
332 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
333 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
334 partial patch).
335 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
336 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
337 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
338 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
339 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
340 - implement -hold option.
341 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
342 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
343 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
344 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
345 - slight overall speed improvements.
346 - considerably improved code clarity.
347 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
348 buffer.
349
350 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
351 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
352 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
353 (matters only for rxvtd).
354 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
355 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
356 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
357
358 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
359 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
360 If you want the old behaviour, try:
361 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
362 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
363 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
364 percentage by 100-percentage.
365 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
366 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
367 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
368 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
369 windows.
370 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
371 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
372 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
373 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
374 - replaced INSTALL file.
375
376 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
377 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
378 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
379 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
380 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
381 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
382 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
383 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
384 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
385
386 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
387 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
388 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
389 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
390 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
391 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
392 Affects display in iso14755 box.
393 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
394 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
395 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
396 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
397 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
398 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
399 cutting pieces off of characters.
400 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
401 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
402 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
403 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
404 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
405 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
406 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
407
408 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
409 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
410 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
411 meaning of the given key.
412 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
413 (patch by Martin Edlman).
414
415 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
416 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
417 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
418 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
419 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
420 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
421 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
422 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
423 to disable it.
424
425 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
426 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
427 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
428 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
429 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
430 with modifiers.
431 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
432 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
433 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
434 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
435 and clear the scrollback buffer.
436
437 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
438 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
439 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
440 a command.
441 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
442 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
443 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
444 in Perl/Gtk2.
445 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
446 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
447 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
448 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
449 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
450 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
451 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
452 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
453 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
454 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
455 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
456 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
457 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
458 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
459 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
460 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
461 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
462 rxvt-unicode).
463 - get rid of the intpro files.
464
465 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
466 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
467 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
468 (Kuang-che Wu).
469 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
470 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
471 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
472 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
473 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
474 along with other, similar, cleanups.
475 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
476 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
477 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
478 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
479 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
480 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
481
482 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
483 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
484 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
485 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
486 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
487 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
488 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
489 his patience and time in tracking this down).
490 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
491 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
492 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
493 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
494 by Joël Riou).
495 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
496 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
497 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
498 - shaved off some code segment size.
499 - various code cleanups.
500 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
501
502 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
503 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
504 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
505 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
506 -pixmap is active.
507 - new option/resource imFont.
508 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
509 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
510 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
511 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
512 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
513 (WU Fengguang).
514 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
515 examples (rxvt.1).
516 - removed src/test completely.
517 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
518
519 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
520 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
521 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
522 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
523 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
524 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
525 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
526 resulting in segfaults.
527 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
528 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
529 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
530 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
531 (Mikael Magnusson).
532 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
533 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
534 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
535 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
536 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
537 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
538 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
539 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
540 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
541 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
542 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
543 - initialize the locale much earlier.
544 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
545
546 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
547 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
548 black on initial startup.
549 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
550 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
551 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
552 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
553 additional multimedia keys.
554 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
555 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
556
557 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
558 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
559 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
560 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
561 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
562 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
563 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
564 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
565 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
566 ignored.
567 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
568 instead.
569 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
570 (reported by hednod).
571 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
572 - fix atom name enumeration.
573
574 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
575 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
576 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
577 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
578 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
579 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
580
581 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
582 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
583 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
584 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
585 titles etc.
586 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
587 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
588 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
589 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
590 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
591 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
592 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
593 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
594 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
595 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
596 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
597 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
598 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
599 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
600
601 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
602 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
603 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
604 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
605 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
606 thoroughly.
607 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
608 now, too.
609
610 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
611 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
612 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
613 on high-latency networks.
614 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
615 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
616 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
617 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
618 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
619 by Gunnar Ritter.
620 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
621 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
622
623 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
624 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
625 -ssc/-ssr settings.
626 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
627 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
628 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
629 - add compile fix for darwin.
630 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
631 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
632 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
633
634 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
635 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
636 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
637 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
638 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
639 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
640 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
641 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
642 ... terminated by a fix.
643 - new supported preeeditType "None".
644 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
645 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
646 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
647 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
648 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
649 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
650 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
651 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
652 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
653 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
654 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
655 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
656 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
657 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
658 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
659 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
660 in tracking this down.
661 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
662 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
663
664 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
665 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
666 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
667
668 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
669 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
670 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
671 installed if tic is available.
672 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
673 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
674 - removed README.unicode.
675 - support select&paste of tab characters.
676 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
677 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
678 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
679 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
680 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
681 screen updates with curses.
682 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
683 by spaces.
684 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
685 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
686 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
687 is just too slow for this to work.
688 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
689 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
690 implement. use --enable-styles.
691 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
692 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
693 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
694 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
695 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
696 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
697 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
698 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
699 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
700 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
701 (only for non-bold right now).
702 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
703 - better default font size and style.
704 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
705 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
706 single character against the base font extents and will only
707 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
708 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
709 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
710 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
711 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
712 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
713 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
714 screen height.
715 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
716 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
717 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
718 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
719 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
720 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
721 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
722 - removed OSC 702.
723 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
724 confused by it rather than using it.
725
726 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
727 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
728 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
729 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
730 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
731 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
732 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
733 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
734 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
735 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
736 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
737 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
738 close).
739 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
740 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
741 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
742 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
743 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
744 could not be created.
745 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
746 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
747 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
748 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
749 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
750 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
751 works.
752 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
753 - document more escape sequences.
754 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
755 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
756 character is a sensible operation.
757 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
758 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
759 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
760 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
761 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
762 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
763 with selections).
764
765 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
766 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
767 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
768 needs access to a local shell window).
769 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
770 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
771 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
772 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
773 a little window or so) would be welcome.
774 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
775 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
776 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
777 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
778 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
779 added there.
780 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
781 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
782 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
783 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
784 instead of being ignored.
785 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
786 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
787 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
788 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
789 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
790 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
791 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
792 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
793 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
794 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
795 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
796 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
797 needs testing anyways.
798 - more complete compile options help output.
799 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
800 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
801 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
802 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
803 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
804 - minor doc fix.
805
806 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
807 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
808 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
809 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
810 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
811 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
812 memmove :)
813 - minor cleanups.
814 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
815 (debian bug #169415).
816 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
817 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
818 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
819 - updated config.guess.
820
821 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
822 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
823 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
824 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
825 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
826 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
827 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
828 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
829 speeding up scrolling immensely.
830 - various other optimizations.
831 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
832
833 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
834 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
835 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
836 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
837 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
838 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
839 Mikael Magnusson).
840 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
841 Mikael Magnusson).
842 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
843 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
844 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
845
846 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
847 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
848 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
849 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
850 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
851 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
852 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
853 with ^V (SYN).
854 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
855
856 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
857 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
858 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
859 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
860 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
861 well as with other terminal emulators.
862 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
863 (reported by elmex).
864 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
865 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
866 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
867 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
868 Bloch.
869
870 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
871 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
872 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
873 sorry).
874 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
875 make it a little bit more correct c++).
876
877 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
878 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
879 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
880 - minor i18n issue fixes.
881
882 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
883 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
884 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
885 - fix some minor bugs.
886
887 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
888 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
889 for the keymappings.
890 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
891 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
892 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
893 an extension and is slightly ugly.
894 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
895 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
896 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
897 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
898 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
899 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
900 overwritten (as is common).
901 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
902 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
903
904 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
905 - minor doc corrections.
906 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
907 avoid clashes with xterm.
908 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
909 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
910 window colour when arg is "?".
911 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
912 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
913 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
914 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
915 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
916 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
917 (FRILLS).
918 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
919 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
920 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
921 - set _NET_WM_PID.
922
923 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
924 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
925 - support more 8-bit controls.
926 - more informative error messages.
927 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
928 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
929 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
930 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
931 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
932
933 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
934 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
935 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
936 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
937 - removed old selection style completely.
938 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
939 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
940 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
941 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
942 be used from within rxvt.
943 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
944
945 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
946 - code cleanup release.
947 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
948 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
949 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
950 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
951 all files.
952 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
953 --enable-xgetdefaults.
954
955 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
956 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
957 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
958 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
959 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
960 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
961 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
962 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
963 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
964 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
965 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
966 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
967 --disable-xgetdefault.
968 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
969 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
970 unicode character.
971 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
972 get it wrong.
973 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
974
975 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
976 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
977 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
978 settings.
979 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
980 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
981 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
982 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
983 mbrtowc.
984 - more robust encoding name matching.
985 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
986 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
987 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
988 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
989 resources and docs.
990 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
991
992 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
993 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
994 - some doc cleanup
995 - configure cleanup
996 - viscii enabled by default
997 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
998
999 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1000 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1001
1002 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1003 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1004 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1005 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1006 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1007 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1008 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1009 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1010 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1011 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1012 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1013 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1014 reported by joel reed.
1015 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1016 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1017 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1018 being selected.
1019 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1020 - removed greek support.
1021 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1022 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1023 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1024 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1025 contributed.
1026 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1027 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1028 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1029 - many other minor bugfixes.
1030
1031 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1032 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1033 new bugs, this should not change much.
1034 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1035 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1036 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1037 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1038 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1039 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1040 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1041
1042 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1043 - further cleanups.
1044 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1045 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1046 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1047 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1048 please drop me a note.
1049
1050 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1051 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1052 - blinking text.
1053 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1054 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1055 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1056 was never implemented
1057
1058 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1059 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1060 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1061 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1062 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1063 reported by fefe
1064 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1065 Markus Demleitner
1066 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1067 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1068 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1069
1070 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1071 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1072 - small font tunings

1074 - better error reporting for unknown options
1075
1076 1.3 2003-12-26
1077 - fix a bug in font height selection
1078 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1079 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1080 - much faster x11 font selection
1081
1082 1.2 2003-12-24
1083 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1084 - better font matching
1085 - better memory management (less memory)
1086 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1087
1088 1.1 2003-12-18
1089 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1090 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1091 - much improved font choosing
