3 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4 TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
5 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10 TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14 TODO: zeroing scorllback buffer should free memory
15 WISH: skipscroll option
16 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
17 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
18 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
19 WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
20 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
21 WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
22 DUMB: support tex fonts
23
24 - hopefully fix the crashing bug people encounter with 7.8
25 (triggered by using transparency + perl). Likely fixes debian bug #380348.
26 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
27 it does! :->
28 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
29 - fixed many, many, typos in the documentation (patch supplied by ves).
30
31 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
32 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
33 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
34 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
35 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
36 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
37 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
38 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
39 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
40 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
41 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
42 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
43 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
44 uppercase character.
45 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
46 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
47 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
48 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
49 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
50 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
51 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
52 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
53 generic osc_seq.
54 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
55 were invoked recursively.
56 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
57 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
58 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
59 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
60 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
61 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
62 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
63 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
64 by omatunto_.
65 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
66 follow C++ closely enough.
67 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
68 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
69 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
70 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
71
72 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
73 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
74 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
75 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
76 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
77 click, and eats the click.
78 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
79 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
80 refresh bugs please.
81 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
82 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
83 improve size hint setting.
84 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
85 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
86 to correctly position their preedit window.
87 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
88 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
89 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
90 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
91 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
92 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
93 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
94 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
95 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
96 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
97 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
98 (reported by Paco-Paco).
99 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
100 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
101 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
102
103 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
104 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
105 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
106 resource value.
107 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
108 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
109 relevant tab window.
110 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
111 (initial patch by hednod).
112 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
113 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
114 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
115 the benefit of automove-background.
116 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
117 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
118 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
119 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
120 __linux__.
121 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
122 the colour components.
123 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
124 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
125 - more colour rtt optimisations.
126 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
127 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
128 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
129 - minor libptytty update.
130
131 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
132 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
133 detection:
134 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
135 - overlap detection was improved.
136 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
137 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
138 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
139 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
140 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
141 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
142 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
143 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
144 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
145 broken.
146 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
147 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
148 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
149 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
150 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
151 (patch by Paco-Paco).
152 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
153 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
154 an "[alpha]" prefix.
155 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
156 transparent. Long Live Xft!
157 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
158 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
159 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
160 on a pseudocolor screen.
161 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
162 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
163 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
164 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
165 - small configure updates.
166 - further RTT optimisations.
167 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
168 the debian package.
169 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
170 but much newer than the old one.
171
172 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
173 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
174 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
175 - small configure updates for libptytty.
176 - fixed version options: line output.
177 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
178
179 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
180 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
181 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
182 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
183 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
184 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
185 selection extension.
186 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
187 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
188 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
189 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
190 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
191 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
192 needs the careful rendering mode.
193 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
194 too wide and needs careful mode.
195 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
196 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
197 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
198 atoms only once per display.
199 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
200 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
201 xterm.
202
203 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
204 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
205 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
206 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
207 ctrl-shift-672c).
208 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
209 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
210 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
211 the primary screen.
212 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
213 could lead to an assertion failure.
214 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
215 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
216 via mouse clicks.
217 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
218 with shift - mouse button 2.
219 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
220 in non-synthetic events.
221 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
222 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
223 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
224 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
225 whole urxvt[d] process.
226 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
227 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
228 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
229 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
230
231 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
232 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
233 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
234 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
235 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
236 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
237 special privileges.
238 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
239 itself.
240 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
241 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
242 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
243 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
244 similar stuff.
245 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
246 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
247 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
248 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
249 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
250 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
251 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
252 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
253 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
254 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
255 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
256 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
257 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
258 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
260 to set the window title.
261 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
262 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
263 at the wrong time.
264 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
265 anymore.
266 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
267 - nuked QNX support.
268 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
269 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
270 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
271 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
272
273 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
274 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
275 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
276 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
277 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
278 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
279 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
280 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
281 and much much more.
282 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
283 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
284 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
285 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
286 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
287 setuid/setgid.
288 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
289 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
290 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
291 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
292 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
293 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
294 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
295 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
296 compatible, and not really small either.
297 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
298 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
299 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
300 to crashes.
301 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
302 colours.
303 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
304 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
305
306 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
307 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
308 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
309 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
310 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
311 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
312 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
313 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
314 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
315 by Mikachu).
316 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
317 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
318 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
319 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
320 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
321 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
322 - fix directory permissions on install.
323 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
324 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
325 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
326 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
327 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
328
329 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
330 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
331 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
332 Chuck Blake.
333 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
334 obscure the mouse cursor position.
335 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
336 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
337 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
338 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
339 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
340 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
341 transfer efficiency.
342 - further minor cleanups.
343
344 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
345 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
346 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
347 while the user still drags.
348 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
349 not drawn correctly.
350 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
351 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
352 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
353 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
354 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
355 stripping whitespace.
356 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
357 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
358
359 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
360 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
361 - enable slow link support by default.
362 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
363 (also a bug in original rxvt).
364 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
365 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
366 partial patch).
367 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
368 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
369 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
370 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
371 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
372 - implement -hold option.
373 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
374 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
375 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
376 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
377 - slight overall speed improvements.
378 - considerably improved code clarity.
379 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
380 buffer.
381
382 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
383 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
384 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
385 (matters only for rxvtd).
386 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
387 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
388 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
389
390 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
391 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
392 If you want the old behaviour, try:
393 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
394 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
395 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
396 percentage by 100-percentage.
397 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
398 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
399 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
400 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
401 windows.
402 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
403 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
404 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
405 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
406 - replaced INSTALL file.
407
408 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
409 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
410 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
411 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
412 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
413 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
414 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
415 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
416 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
417
418 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
419 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
420 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
421 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
422 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
423 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
424 Affects display in iso14755 box.
425 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
426 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
427 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
428 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
429 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
430 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
431 cutting pieces off of characters.
432 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
433 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
434 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
435 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
436 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
437 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
438 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
439
440 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
441 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
442 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
443 meaning of the given key.
444 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
445 (patch by Martin Edlman).
446
447 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
448 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
449 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
450 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
451 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
452 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
453 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
454 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
455 to disable it.
456
457 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
458 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
459 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
460 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
461 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
462 with modifiers.
463 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
464 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
465 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
466 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
467 and clear the scrollback buffer.
468
469 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
470 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
471 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
472 a command.
473 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
474 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
475 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
476 in Perl/Gtk2.
477 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
478 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
479 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
480 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
481 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
482 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
483 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
484 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
485 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
486 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
487 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
488 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
489 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
490 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
491 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
492 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
493 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
494 rxvt-unicode).
495 - get rid of the intpro files.
496
497 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
498 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
499 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
500 (Kuang-che Wu).
501 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
502 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
503 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
504 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
505 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
506 along with other, similar, cleanups.
507 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
508 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
509 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
510 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
511 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
512 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
513
514 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
515 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
516 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
517 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
518 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
519 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
520 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
521 his patience and time in tracking this down).
522 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
523 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
524 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
525 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
526 by Joël Riou).
527 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
528 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
529 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
530 - shaved off some code segment size.
531 - various code cleanups.
532 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
533
534 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
535 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
536 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
537 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
538 -pixmap is active.
539 - new option/resource imFont.
540 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
541 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
542 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
543 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
544 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
545 (WU Fengguang).
546 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
547 examples (rxvt.1).
548 - removed src/test completely.
549 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
550
551 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
552 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
553 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
554 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
555 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
556 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
557 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
558 resulting in segfaults.
559 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
560 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
561 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
562 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
563 (Mikael Magnusson).
564 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
565 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
566 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
567 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
568 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
569 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
570 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
571 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
572 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
573 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
574 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
575 - initialize the locale much earlier.
576 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
577
578 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
579 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
580 black on initial startup.
581 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
582 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
583 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
584 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
585 additional multimedia keys.
586 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
587 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
588
589 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
590 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
591 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
592 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
593 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
594 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
595 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
596 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
597 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
598 ignored.
599 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
600 instead.
601 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
602 (reported by hednod).
603 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
604 - fix atom name enumeration.
605
606 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
607 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
608 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
609 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
610 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
611 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
612
613 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
614 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
615 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
616 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
617 titles etc.
618 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
619 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
620 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
621 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
622 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
623 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
624 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
625 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
626 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
627 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
628 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
629 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
630 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
631 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
632
633 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
634 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
635 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
636 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
637 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
638 thoroughly.
639 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
640 now, too.
641
642 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
643 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
644 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
645 on high-latency networks.
646 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
647 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
648 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
649 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
650 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
651 by Gunnar Ritter.
652 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
653 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
654
655 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
656 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
657 -ssc/-ssr settings.
658 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
659 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
660 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
661 - add compile fix for darwin.
662 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
663 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
664 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
665
666 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
667 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
668 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
669 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
670 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
671 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
672 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
673 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
674 ... terminated by a fix.
675 - new supported preeeditType "None".
676 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
677 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
678 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
679 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
680 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
681 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
682 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
683 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
684 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
685 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
686 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
687 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
688 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
689 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
690 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
691 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
692 in tracking this down.
693 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
694 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
695
696 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
697 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
698 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
699
700 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
701 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
702 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
703 installed if tic is available.
704 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
705 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
706 - removed README.unicode.
707 - support select&paste of tab characters.
708 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
709 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
710 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
711 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
712 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
713 screen updates with curses.
714 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
715 by spaces.
716 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
717 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
718 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
719 is just too slow for this to work.
720 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
721 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
722 implement. use --enable-styles.
723 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
724 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
725 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
726 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
727 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
728 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
729 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
730 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
731 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
732 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
733 (only for non-bold right now).
734 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
735 - better default font size and style.
736 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
737 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
738 single character against the base font extents and will only
739 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
740 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
741 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
742 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
743 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
744 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
745 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
746 screen height.
747 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
748 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
749 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
750 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
751 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
752 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
753 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
754 - removed OSC 702.
755 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
756 confused by it rather than using it.
757
758 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
759 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
760 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
761 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
762 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
763 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
764 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
765 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
766 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
767 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
768 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
769 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
770 close).
771 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
772 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
773 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
774 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
775 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
776 could not be created.
777 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
778 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
779 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
780 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
781 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
782 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
783 works.
784 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
785 - document more escape sequences.
786 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
787 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
788 character is a sensible operation.
789 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
790 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
791 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
792 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
793 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
794 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
795 with selections).
796
797 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
798 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
799 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
800 needs access to a local shell window).
801 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
802 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
803 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
804 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
805 a little window or so) would be welcome.
806 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
807 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
808 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
809 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
810 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
811 added there.
812 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
813 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
814 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
815 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
816 instead of being ignored.
817 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
818 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
819 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
820 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
821 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
822 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
823 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
824 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
825 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
826 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
827 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
828 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
829 needs testing anyways.
830 - more complete compile options help output.
831 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
832 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
833 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
834 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
835 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
836 - minor doc fix.
837
838 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
839 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
840 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
841 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
842 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
843 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
844 memmove :)
845 - minor cleanups.
846 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
847 (debian bug #169415).
848 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
849 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
850 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
851 - updated config.guess.
852
853 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
854 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
855 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
856 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
857 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
858 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
859 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
860 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
861 speeding up scrolling immensely.
862 - various other optimizations.
863 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
864
865 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
866 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
867 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
868 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
869 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
870 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
871 Mikael Magnusson).
872 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
873 Mikael Magnusson).
874 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
875 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
876 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
877
878 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
879 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
880 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
881 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
882 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
883 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
884 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
885 with ^V (SYN).
886 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
887
888 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
889 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
890 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
891 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
892 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
893 well as with other terminal emulators.
894 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
895 (reported by elmex).
896 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
897 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
898 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
899 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
900 Bloch.
901
902 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
903 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
904 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
905 sorry).
906 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
907 make it a little bit more correct c++).
908
909 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
910 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
911 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
912 - minor i18n issue fixes.
913
914 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
915 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
916 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
917 - fix some minor bugs.
918
919 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
920 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
921 for the keymappings.
922 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
923 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
924 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
925 an extension and is slightly ugly.
926 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
927 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
928 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
929 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
930 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
931 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
932 overwritten (as is common).
933 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
934 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
935
936 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
937 - minor doc corrections.
938 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
939 avoid clashes with xterm.
940 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
941 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
942 window colour when arg is "?".
943 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
944 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
945 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
946 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
947 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
948 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
949 (FRILLS).
950 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
951 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
952 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
953 - set _NET_WM_PID.
954
955 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
956 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
957 - support more 8-bit controls.
958 - more informative error messages.
959 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
960 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
961 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
962 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
963 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
964
965 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
966 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
967 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
968 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
969 - removed old selection style completely.
970 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
971 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
972 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
973 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
974 be used from within rxvt.
975 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
976
977 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
978 - code cleanup release.
979 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
980 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
981 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
982 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
983 all files.
984 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
985 --enable-xgetdefaults.
986
987 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
988 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
989 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
990 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
991 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
992 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
993 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
994 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
995 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
996 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
997 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
998 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
999 --disable-xgetdefault.
1000 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1001 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1002 unicode character.
1003 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1004 get it wrong.
1005 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1006
1007 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1008 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1009 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1010 settings.
1011 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1012 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1013 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1014 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1015 mbrtowc.
1016 - more robust encoding name matching.
1017 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1018 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1019 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1020 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1021 resources and docs.
1022 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1023
1024 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1025 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1026 - some doc cleanup
1027 - configure cleanup
1028 - viscii enabled by default
1029 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1030
1031 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1032 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1033
1034 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1035 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1036 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1037 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1038 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1039 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1040 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1041 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1042 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1043 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1044 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1045 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1046 reported by joel reed.
1047 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1048 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1049 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1050 being selected.
1051 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1052 - removed greek support.
1053 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1054 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1055 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1056 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1057 contributed.
1058 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1059 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1060 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1061 - many other minor bugfixes.
1062
1063 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1064 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1065 new bugs, this should not change much.
1066 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1067 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1068 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1069 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1070 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1071 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1072 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1073
1074 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1075 - further cleanups.
1076 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1077 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1078 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1079 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1080 please drop me a note.
1081
1082 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1083 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1084 - blinking text.
1085 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1086 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1087 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1088 was never implemented
1089
1090 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1091 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1092 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1093 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1094 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1095 reported by fefe
1096 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1097 Markus Demleitner
1098 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1099 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1100 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1101
1102 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1103 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1104 - small font tunings
1105 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
1106 - better error reporting for unknown options
1107
1108 1.3 2003-12-26
1109 - fix a bug in font height selection
1110 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1111 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1112 - much faster x11 font selection
1113
1114 1.2 2003-12-24
1115 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1116 - better font matching
1117 - better memory management (less memory)
1118 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1119
1120 1.1 2003-12-18
1121 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1122 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1123 - much improved font choosing
