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

906 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
907 - minor doc corrections.
908 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
909 avoid clashes with xterm.
910 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
911 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
912 window colour when arg is "?".
913 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
914 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
915 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
916 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
917 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
918 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
919 (FRILLS).
920 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
921 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
922 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
923 - set _NET_WM_PID.
924
925 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
926 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
927 - support more 8-bit controls.
928 - more informative error messages.
929 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
930 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
931 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
932 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
933 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
934
935 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
936 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
937 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
938 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
939 - removed old selection style completely.
940 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
941 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
942 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
943 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
944 be used from within rxvt.
945 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
946
947 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
948 - code cleanup release.
949 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
950 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
951 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
952 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
953 all files.
954 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
955 --enable-xgetdefaults.
956
957 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
958 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
959 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
960 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
961 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
962 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
963 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
964 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
965 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
966 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
967 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
968 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
969 --disable-xgetdefault.
970 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
971 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
972 unicode character.
973 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
974 get it wrong.
975 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
976
977 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
978 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
979 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
980 settings.
981 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
982 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
983 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
984 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
985 mbrtowc.
986 - more robust encoding name matching.
987 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
988 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
989 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
990 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
991 resources and docs.
992 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
993
994 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
995 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
996 - some doc cleanup
997 - configure cleanup
998 - viscii enabled by default
999 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1000
1001 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1002 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1003
1004 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1005 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1006 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1007 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1008 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1009 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1010 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1011 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1012 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1013 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1014 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1015 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1016 reported by joel reed.
1017 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1018 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1019 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1020 being selected.
1021 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1022 - removed greek support.
1023 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1024 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1025 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1026 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1027 contributed.
1028 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1029 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1030 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1031 - many other minor bugfixes.
1032
1033 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1034 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1035 new bugs, this should not change much.
1036 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1037 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1038 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1039 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1040 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1041 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1042 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1043
1044 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1045 - further cleanups.
1046 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1047 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1048 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1049 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1050 please drop me a note.
1051
1052 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1053 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1054 - blinking text.
1055 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1056 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1057 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1058 was never implemented
1059
1060 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1061 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1062 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1063 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1064 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1065 reported by fefe
1066 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1067 Markus Demleitner
1068 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1069 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1070 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1071
1072 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1073 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c

1078 1.3 2003-12-26
1079 - fix a bug in font height selection
1080 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1081 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters

1084 1.2 2003-12-24
1085 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1086 - better font matching
1087 - better memory management (less memory)
1088 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1089
1090 1.1 2003-12-18
1091 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1092 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
