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 TODO: fix crash because strwidth returning -1 in selection-popup in LC_ALL=C
25 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
26 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
27
28 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
29 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
30 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
31 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
32 it does! :->
33 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
34 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
35
36 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
37 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
38 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
39 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
40 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
41 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
42 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
43 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
44 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
45 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
46 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
47 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
48 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
49 uppercase character.
50 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
51 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
52 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
53 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
54 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
55 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
56 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
57 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
58 generic osc_seq.
59 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
60 were invoked recursively.
61 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
62 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
63 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
64 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
65 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
66 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
67 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
68 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
69 by omatunto_.
70 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
71 follow C++ closely enough.
72 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
73 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
74 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
75 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
76
77 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
78 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
79 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
80 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
81 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
82 click, and eats the click.
83 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
84 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
85 refresh bugs please.
86 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
87 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
88 improve size hint setting.
89 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
90 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
91 to correctly position their preedit window.
92 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
93 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
94 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
95 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
96 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
97 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
98 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
99 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
100 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
101 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
102 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
103 (reported by Paco-Paco).
104 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
105 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
106 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
107
108 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
109 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
110 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
111 resource value.
112 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
113 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
114 relevant tab window.
115 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
116 (initial patch by hednod).
117 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
118 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
119 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
120 the benefit of automove-background.
121 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
122 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
123 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
124 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
125 __linux__.
126 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
127 the colour components.
128 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
129 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
130 - more colour rtt optimisations.
131 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
132 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
133 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
134 - minor libptytty update.
135
136 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
137 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
138 detection:
139 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
140 - overlap detection was improved.
141 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
142 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
143 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
144 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
145 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
146 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
147 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
148 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
149 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
150 broken.
151 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
152 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
153 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
154 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
155 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
156 (patch by Paco-Paco).
157 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
158 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
159 an "[alpha]" prefix.
160 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
161 transparent. Long Live Xft!
162 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
163 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
164 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
165 on a pseudocolor screen.
166 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
167 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
168 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
169 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
170 - small configure updates.
171 - further RTT optimisations.
172 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
173 the debian package.
174 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
175 but much newer than the old one.
176
177 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
178 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
179 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
180 - small configure updates for libptytty.
181 - fixed version options: line output.
182 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
183
184 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
185 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
186 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
187 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
188 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
189 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
190 selection extension.
191 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
192 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
193 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
194 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
195 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
196 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
197 needs the careful rendering mode.
198 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
199 too wide and needs careful mode.
200 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
201 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
202 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
203 atoms only once per display.
204 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
205 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
206 xterm.
207
208 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
209 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
210 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
211 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
212 ctrl-shift-672c).
213 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
214 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
215 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
216 the primary screen.
217 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
218 could lead to an assertion failure.
219 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
220 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
221 via mouse clicks.
222 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
223 with shift - mouse button 2.
224 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
225 in non-synthetic events.
226 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
227 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
228 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
229 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
230 whole urxvt[d] process.
231 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
232 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
233 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
234 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
235
236 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
237 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
238 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
239 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
240 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
241 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
242 special privileges.
243 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
244 itself.
245 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
246 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
247 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
248 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
249 similar stuff.
250 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
251 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
252 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
253 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
254 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
255 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
256 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
257 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
258 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
259 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
260 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
261 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
262 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
263 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
264 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
265 to set the window title.
266 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
267 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
268 at the wrong time.
269 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
270 anymore.
271 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
272 - nuked QNX support.
273 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
274 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
275 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
276 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
277
278 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
279 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
280 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
281 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
282 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
283 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
284 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
285 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
286 and much much more.
287 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
288 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
289 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
290 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
291 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
292 setuid/setgid.
293 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
294 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
295 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
296 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
297 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
298 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
299 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
300 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
301 compatible, and not really small either.
302 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
303 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
304 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
305 to crashes.
306 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
307 colours.
308 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
309 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
310
311 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
312 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
313 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
314 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
315 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
316 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
317 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
318 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
319 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
320 by Mikachu).
321 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
322 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
323 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
324 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
325 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
326 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
327 - fix directory permissions on install.
328 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
329 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
330 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
331 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
332 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
333
334 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
335 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
336 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
337 Chuck Blake.
338 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
339 obscure the mouse cursor position.
340 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
341 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
342 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
343 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
344 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
345 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
346 transfer efficiency.
347 - further minor cleanups.
348
349 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
350 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
351 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
352 while the user still drags.
353 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
354 not drawn correctly.
355 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
356 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
357 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
358 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
359 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
360 stripping whitespace.
361 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
362 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
363
364 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
365 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
366 - enable slow link support by default.
367 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
368 (also a bug in original rxvt).
369 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
370 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
371 partial patch).
372 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
373 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
374 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
375 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
376 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
377 - implement -hold option.
378 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
379 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
380 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
381 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
382 - slight overall speed improvements.
383 - considerably improved code clarity.
384 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
385 buffer.
386
387 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
388 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
389 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
390 (matters only for rxvtd).
391 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
392 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
393 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
394
395 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
396 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
397 If you want the old behaviour, try:
398 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
399 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
400 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
401 percentage by 100-percentage.
402 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
403 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
404 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
405 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
406 windows.
407 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
408 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
409 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
410 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
411 - replaced INSTALL file.
412
413 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
414 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
415 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
416 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
417 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
418 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
419 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
420 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
421 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
422
423 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
424 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
425 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
426 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
427 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
428 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
429 Affects display in iso14755 box.
430 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
431 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
432 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
433 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
434 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
435 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
436 cutting pieces off of characters.
437 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
438 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
439 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
440 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
441 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
442 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
443 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
444
445 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
446 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
447 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
448 meaning of the given key.
449 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
450 (patch by Martin Edlman).
451
452 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
453 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
454 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
455 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
456 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
457 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
458 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
459 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
460 to disable it.
461
462 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
463 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
464 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
465 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
466 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
467 with modifiers.
468 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
469 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
470 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
471 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
472 and clear the scrollback buffer.
473
474 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
475 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
476 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
477 a command.
478 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
479 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
480 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
481 in Perl/Gtk2.
482 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
483 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
484 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
485 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
486 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
487 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
488 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
489 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
490 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
491 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
492 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
493 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
494 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
495 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
496 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
497 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
498 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
499 rxvt-unicode).
500 - get rid of the intpro files.
501
502 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
503 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
504 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
505 (Kuang-che Wu).
506 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
507 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
508 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
509 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
510 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
511 along with other, similar, cleanups.
512 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
513 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
514 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
515 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
516 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
517 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
518
519 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
520 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
521 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
522 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
523 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
524 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
525 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
526 his patience and time in tracking this down).
527 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
528 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
529 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
530 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
531 by Joël Riou).
532 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
533 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
534 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
535 - shaved off some code segment size.
536 - various code cleanups.
537 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
538
539 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
540 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
541 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
542 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
543 -pixmap is active.
544 - new option/resource imFont.
545 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
546 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
547 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
548 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
549 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
550 (WU Fengguang).
551 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
552 examples (rxvt.1).
553 - removed src/test completely.
554 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
555
556 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
557 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
558 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
559 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
560 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
561 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
562 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
563 resulting in segfaults.
564 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
565 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
566 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
567 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
568 (Mikael Magnusson).
569 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
570 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
571 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
572 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
573 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
574 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
575 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
576 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
577 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
578 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
579 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
580 - initialize the locale much earlier.
581 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
582
583 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
584 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
585 black on initial startup.
586 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
587 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
588 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
589 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
590 additional multimedia keys.
591 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
592 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
593
594 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
595 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
596 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
597 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
598 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
599 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
600 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
601 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
602 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
603 ignored.
604 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
605 instead.
606 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
607 (reported by hednod).
608 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
609 - fix atom name enumeration.
610
611 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
612 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
613 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
614 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
615 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
616 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
617
618 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
619 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
620 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
621 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
622 titles etc.
623 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
624 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
625 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
626 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
627 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
628 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
629 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
630 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
631 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
632 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
633 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
634 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
635 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
636 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
637
638 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
639 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
640 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
641 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
642 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
643 thoroughly.
644 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
645 now, too.
646
647 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
648 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
649 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
650 on high-latency networks.
651 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
652 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
653 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
654 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
655 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
656 by Gunnar Ritter.
657 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
658 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
659
660 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
661 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
662 -ssc/-ssr settings.
663 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
664 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
665 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
666 - add compile fix for darwin.
667 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
668 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
669 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
670
671 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
672 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
673 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
674 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
675 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
676 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
677 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
678 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
679 ... terminated by a fix.
680 - new supported preeeditType "None".
681 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
682 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
683 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
684 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
685 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
686 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
687 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
688 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
689 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
690 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
691 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
692 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
693 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
694 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
695 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
696 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
697 in tracking this down.
698 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
699 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
700
701 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
702 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
703 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
704
705 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
706 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
707 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
708 installed if tic is available.
709 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
710 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
711 - removed README.unicode.
712 - support select&paste of tab characters.
713 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
714 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
715 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
716 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
717 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
718 screen updates with curses.
719 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
720 by spaces.
721 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
722 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
723 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
724 is just too slow for this to work.
725 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
726 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
727 implement. use --enable-styles.
728 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
729 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
730 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
731 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
732 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
733 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
734 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
735 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
736 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
737 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
738 (only for non-bold right now).
739 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
740 - better default font size and style.
741 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
742 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
743 single character against the base font extents and will only
744 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
745 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
746 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
747 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
748 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
749 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
750 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
751 screen height.
752 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
753 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
754 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
755 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
756 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
757 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
758 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
759 - removed OSC 702.
760 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
761 confused by it rather than using it.
762
763 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
764 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
765 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
766 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
767 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
768 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
769 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
770 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
771 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
772 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
773 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
774 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
775 close).
776 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
777 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
778 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
779 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
780 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
781 could not be created.
782 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
783 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
784 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
785 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
786 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
787 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
788 works.
789 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
790 - document more escape sequences.
791 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
792 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
793 character is a sensible operation.
794 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
795 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
796 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
797 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
798 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
799 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
800 with selections).
801
802 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
803 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
804 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
805 needs access to a local shell window).
806 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
807 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
808 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
809 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
810 a little window or so) would be welcome.
811 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
812 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
813 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
814 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
815 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
816 added there.
817 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
818 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
819 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
820 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
821 instead of being ignored.
822 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
823 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
824 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
825 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
826 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
827 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
828 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
829 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
830 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
831 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
832 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
833 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
834 needs testing anyways.
835 - more complete compile options help output.
836 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
837 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
838 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
839 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
840 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
841 - minor doc fix.
842
843 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
844 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
845 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
846 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
847 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
848 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
849 memmove :)
850 - minor cleanups.
851 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
852 (debian bug #169415).
853 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
854 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
855 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
856 - updated config.guess.
857
858 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
859 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
860 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
861 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
862 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
863 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
864 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
865 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
866 speeding up scrolling immensely.
867 - various other optimizations.
868 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
869
870 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
871 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
872 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
873 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
874 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
875 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
876 Mikael Magnusson).
877 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
878 Mikael Magnusson).
879 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
880 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
881 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
882
883 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
884 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
885 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
886 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
887 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
888 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
889 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
890 with ^V (SYN).
891 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
892
893 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
894 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
895 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
896 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
897 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
898 well as with other terminal emulators.
899 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
900 (reported by elmex).
901 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
902 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
903 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
904 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
905 Bloch.
906
907 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
908 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
909 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
910 sorry).
911 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
912 make it a little bit more correct c++).
913
914 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
915 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
916 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
917 - minor i18n issue fixes.
918
919 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
920 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
921 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
922 - fix some minor bugs.
923
924 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
925 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
926 for the keymappings.
927 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
928 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
929 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
930 an extension and is slightly ugly.
931 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
932 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
933 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
934 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
935 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
936 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
937 overwritten (as is common).
938 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
939 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
940
941 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
942 - minor doc corrections.
943 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
944 avoid clashes with xterm.
945 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
946 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
947 window colour when arg is "?".
948 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
949 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
950 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
951 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
952 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
953 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
954 (FRILLS).
955 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
956 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
957 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
958 - set _NET_WM_PID.
959
960 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
961 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
962 - support more 8-bit controls.
963 - more informative error messages.
964 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
965 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
966 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
967 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
968 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
969
970 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
971 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
972 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
973 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
974 - removed old selection style completely.
975 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
976 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
977 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
978 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
979 be used from within rxvt.
980 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
981
982 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
983 - code cleanup release.
984 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
985 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
986 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
987 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
988 all files.
989 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
990 --enable-xgetdefaults.
991
992 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
993 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
994 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
995 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
996 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
997 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
998 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
999 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1000 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1001 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1002 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1003 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1004 --disable-xgetdefault.
1005 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1006 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1007 unicode character.
1008 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1009 get it wrong.
1010 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1011
1012 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1013 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1014 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1015 settings.
1016 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1017 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1018 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1019 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1020 mbrtowc.
1021 - more robust encoding name matching.
1022 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1023 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1024 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1025 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1026 resources and docs.
1027 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1028
1029 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1030 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1031 - some doc cleanup
1032 - configure cleanup
1033 - viscii enabled by default
1034 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1035
1036 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1037 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1038
1039 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1040 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1041 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1042 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1043 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1044 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1045 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1046 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1047 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1048 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1049 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1050 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1051 reported by joel reed.
1052 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1053 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1054 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1055 being selected.
1056 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1057 - removed greek support.
1058 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1059 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1060 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1061 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1062 contributed.
1063 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1064 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1065 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1066 - many other minor bugfixes.
1067
1068 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1069 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1070 new bugs, this should not change much.
1071 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1072 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1073 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1074 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1075 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1076 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1077 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1078
1079 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1080 - further cleanups.
1081 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1082 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1083 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1084 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1085 please drop me a note.
1086
1087 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1088 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1089 - blinking text.
1090 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1091 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1092 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1093 was never implemented
1094
1095 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1096 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1097 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1098 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1099 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1100 reported by fefe
1101 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1102 Markus Demleitner
1103 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1104 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1105 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1106
1107 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1108 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1109 - small font tunings
1110 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
1111 - better error reporting for unknown options
1112
1113 1.3 2003-12-26
1114 - fix a bug in font height selection
1115 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1116 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1117 - much faster x11 font selection
1118
1119 1.2 2003-12-24
1120 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1121 - better font matching
1122 - better memory management (less memory)
1123 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1124
1125 1.1 2003-12-18
1126 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1127 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1128 - much improved font choosing
1129
1130 1.0
1131 - first release
1132 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
