26 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
27 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
28 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
29 circumstances (reported by exg).
30 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
31 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
32 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
33 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
34 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
35 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
36 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
37 - update to libptytty-1.0.
38 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
39 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
40 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
41 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
42 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
43 bug #143985).
44 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
45 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
46 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
47 - manpage fix by exg.
48
49 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
50 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
51 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
52 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
53 it does! :->
54 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
55 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
56
57 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
58 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
59 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
60 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
61 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
62 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
63 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
64 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
65 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
66 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
67 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
68 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
69 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
70 uppercase character.
71 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
72 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
73 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
74 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
75 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
76 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
77 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
78 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
79 generic osc_seq.
80 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
81 were invoked recursively.
82 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
83 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
84 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
85 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
86 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
87 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
88 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
89 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
90 by omatunto_.
91 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
92 follow C++ closely enough.
93 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
94 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
95 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
96 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
97
98 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
99 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
100 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
101 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
102 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
103 click, and eats the click.
104 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
105 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
106 refresh bugs please.
107 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
108 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
109 improve size hint setting.
110 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
111 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
112 to correctly position their preedit window.
113 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
114 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
115 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
116 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
117 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
118 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
119 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
120 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
121 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
122 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
123 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
124 (reported by Paco-Paco).
125 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
126 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
127 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
128
129 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
130 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
131 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
132 resource value.
133 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
134 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
135 relevant tab window.
136 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
137 (initial patch by hednod).
138 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
139 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
140 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
141 the benefit of automove-background.
142 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
143 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
144 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
145 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
146 __linux__.
147 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
148 the colour components.
149 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
150 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
151 - more colour rtt optimisations.
152 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
153 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
154 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
155 - minor libptytty update.
156
157 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
158 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
159 detection:
160 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
161 - overlap detection was improved.
162 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
163 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
164 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
165 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
166 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
167 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
168 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
169 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
170 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
171 broken.
172 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
173 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
174 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
175 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
176 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
177 (patch by Paco-Paco).
178 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
179 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
180 an "[alpha]" prefix.
181 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
182 transparent. Long Live Xft!
183 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
184 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
185 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
186 on a pseudocolor screen.
187 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
188 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
189 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
190 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
191 - small configure updates.
192 - further RTT optimisations.
193 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
194 the debian package.
195 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
196 but much newer than the old one.
197
198 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
199 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
200 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
201 - small configure updates for libptytty.
202 - fixed version options: line output.
203 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
204
205 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
206 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
207 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
208 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
209 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
210 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
211 selection extension.
212 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
213 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
214 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
215 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
216 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
217 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
218 needs the careful rendering mode.
219 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
220 too wide and needs careful mode.
221 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
222 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
223 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
224 atoms only once per display.
225 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
226 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
227 xterm.
228
229 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
230 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
231 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
232 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
233 ctrl-shift-672c).
234 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
235 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
236 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
237 the primary screen.
238 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
239 could lead to an assertion failure.
240 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
241 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
242 via mouse clicks.
243 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
244 with shift - mouse button 2.
245 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
246 in non-synthetic events.
247 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
248 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
249 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
250 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
251 whole urxvt[d] process.
252 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
253 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
254 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
255 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
256
257 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
258 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
259 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
260 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
261 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
262 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
263 special privileges.
264 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
265 itself.
266 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
267 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
268 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
269 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
270 similar stuff.
271 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
272 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
273 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
274 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
275 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
276 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
277 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
278 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
279 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
280 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
281 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
282 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
283 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
284 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
285 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
286 to set the window title.
287 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
288 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
289 at the wrong time.
290 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
291 anymore.
292 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
293 - nuked QNX support.
294 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
295 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
296 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
297 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
298
299 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
300 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
301 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
302 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
303 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
304 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
305 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
306 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
307 and much much more.
308 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
309 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
310 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
311 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
312 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
313 setuid/setgid.
314 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
315 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
316 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
317 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
318 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
319 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
320 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
321 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
322 compatible, and not really small either.
323 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
324 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
325 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
326 to crashes.
327 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
328 colours.
329 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
330 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
331
332 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
333 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
334 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
335 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
336 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
337 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
338 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
339 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
340 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
341 by Mikachu).
342 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
343 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
344 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
345 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
346 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
347 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
348 - fix directory permissions on install.
349 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
350 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
351 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
352 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
353 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
354
355 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
356 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
357 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
358 Chuck Blake.
359 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
360 obscure the mouse cursor position.
361 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
362 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
363 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
364 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
365 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
366 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
367 transfer efficiency.
368 - further minor cleanups.
369
370 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
371 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
372 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
373 while the user still drags.
374 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
375 not drawn correctly.
376 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
377 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
378 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
379 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
380 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
381 stripping whitespace.
382 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
383 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
384
385 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
386 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
387 - enable slow link support by default.
388 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
389 (also a bug in original rxvt).
390 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
391 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
392 partial patch).
393 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
394 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
395 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
396 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
397 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
398 - implement -hold option.
399 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
400 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
401 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
402 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
403 - slight overall speed improvements.
404 - considerably improved code clarity.
405 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
406 buffer.
407
408 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
409 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
410 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
411 (matters only for rxvtd).
412 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
413 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
414 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
415
416 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
417 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
418 If you want the old behaviour, try:
419 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
420 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
421 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
422 percentage by 100-percentage.
423 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
424 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
425 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
426 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
427 windows.
428 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
429 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
430 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
431 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
432 - replaced INSTALL file.
433
434 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
435 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
436 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
437 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
438 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
439 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
440 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
441 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
442 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
443
444 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
445 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
446 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
447 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
448 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
449 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
450 Affects display in iso14755 box.
451 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
452 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
453 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
454 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
455 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
456 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
457 cutting pieces off of characters.
458 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
459 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
460 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
461 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
462 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
463 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
464 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
465
466 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
467 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
468 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
469 meaning of the given key.
470 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
471 (patch by Martin Edlman).
472
473 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
474 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
475 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
476 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
477 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
478 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
479 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
480 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
481 to disable it.
482
483 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
484 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
485 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
486 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
487 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
488 with modifiers.
489 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
490 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
491 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
492 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
493 and clear the scrollback buffer.
494
495 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
496 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
497 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
498 a command.
499 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
500 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
501 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
502 in Perl/Gtk2.
503 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
504 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
505 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
506 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
507 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
508 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
509 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
510 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
511 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
512 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
513 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
514 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
515 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
516 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
517 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
518 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
519 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
520 rxvt-unicode).
521 - get rid of the intpro files.
522
523 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
524 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
525 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
526 (Kuang-che Wu).
527 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
528 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
529 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
530 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
531 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
532 along with other, similar, cleanups.
533 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
534 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
535 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
536 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
537 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
538 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
539
540 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
541 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
542 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
543 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
544 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
545 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
546 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
547 his patience and time in tracking this down).
548 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
549 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
550 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
551 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
552 by Joël Riou).
553 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
554 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
555 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
556 - shaved off some code segment size.
557 - various code cleanups.
558 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
559
560 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
561 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
562 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
563 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
564 -pixmap is active.
565 - new option/resource imFont.
566 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
567 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
568 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
569 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
570 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
571 (WU Fengguang).
572 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
573 examples (rxvt.1).
574 - removed src/test completely.
575 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
576
577 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
578 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
579 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
580 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
581 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
582 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
583 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
584 resulting in segfaults.
585 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
586 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
587 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
588 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
589 (Mikael Magnusson).
590 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
591 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
592 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
593 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
594 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
595 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
596 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
597 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
598 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
599 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
600 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
601 - initialize the locale much earlier.
602 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
603
604 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
605 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
606 black on initial startup.
607 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
608 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
609 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
610 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
611 additional multimedia keys.
612 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
613 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
614
615 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
616 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
617 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
618 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
619 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
620 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
621 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
622 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
623 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
624 ignored.
625 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
626 instead.
627 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
628 (reported by hednod).
629 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
630 - fix atom name enumeration.
631
632 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
633 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
634 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
635 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
636 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
637 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
638
639 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
640 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
641 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
642 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
643 titles etc.
644 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
645 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
646 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
647 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
648 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
649 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
650 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
651 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
652 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
653 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
654 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
655 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
656 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
657 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
658
659 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
660 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
661 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
662 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
663 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
664 thoroughly.
665 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
666 now, too.
667
668 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
669 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
670 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
671 on high-latency networks.
672 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
673 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
674 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
675 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
676 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
677 by Gunnar Ritter.
678 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
679 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
680
681 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
682 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
683 -ssc/-ssr settings.
684 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
685 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
686 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
687 - add compile fix for darwin.
688 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
689 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
690 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
691
692 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
693 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
694 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
695 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
696 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
697 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
698 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
699 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
700 ... terminated by a fix.
701 - new supported preeeditType "None".
702 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
703 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
704 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
705 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
706 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
707 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
708 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
709 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
710 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
711 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
712 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
713 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
714 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
715 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
716 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
717 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
718 in tracking this down.
719 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
720 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
721
722 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
723 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
724 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
725
726 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
727 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
728 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
729 installed if tic is available.
730 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
731 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
732 - removed README.unicode.
733 - support select&paste of tab characters.
734 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
735 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
736 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
737 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
738 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
739 screen updates with curses.
740 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
741 by spaces.
742 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
743 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
744 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
745 is just too slow for this to work.
746 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
747 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
748 implement. use --enable-styles.
749 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
750 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
751 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
752 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
753 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
754 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
755 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
756 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
757 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
758 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
759 (only for non-bold right now).
760 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
761 - better default font size and style.
762 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
763 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
764 single character against the base font extents and will only
765 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
766 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
767 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
768 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
769 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
770 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
771 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
772 screen height.
773 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
774 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
775 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
776 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
777 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
778 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
779 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
780 - removed OSC 702.
781 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
782 confused by it rather than using it.
783
784 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
785 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
786 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
787 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
788 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
789 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
790 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
791 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
792 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
793 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
794 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
795 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
796 close).
797 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
798 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
799 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
800 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
801 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
802 could not be created.
803 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
804 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
805 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
806 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
807 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
808 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
809 works.
810 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
811 - document more escape sequences.
812 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
813 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
814 character is a sensible operation.
815 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
816 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
817 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
818 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
819 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
820 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
821 with selections).
822
823 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
824 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
825 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
826 needs access to a local shell window).
827 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
828 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
829 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
830 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
831 a little window or so) would be welcome.
832 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
833 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
834 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
835 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
836 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
837 added there.
838 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
839 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
840 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
841 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
842 instead of being ignored.
843 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
844 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
845 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
846 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
847 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
848 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
849 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
850 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
851 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
852 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
853 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
854 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
855 needs testing anyways.
856 - more complete compile options help output.
857 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
858 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
859 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
860 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
861 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
862 - minor doc fix.
863
864 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
865 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
866 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
867 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
868 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
869 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
870 memmove :)
871 - minor cleanups.
872 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
873 (debian bug #169415).
874 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
875 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
876 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
877 - updated config.guess.
878
879 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
880 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
881 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
882 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
883 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
884 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
885 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
886 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
887 speeding up scrolling immensely.
888 - various other optimizations.
889 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
890
891 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
892 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
893 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
894 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
895 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
896 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
897 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
898 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
899 Mikael Magnusson).
900 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
901 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
902 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
903
904 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
905 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
906 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
907 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
908 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
909 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
910 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
911 with ^V (SYN).
912 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
913
914 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
915 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
916 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
917 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
918 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
919 well as with other terminal emulators.
920 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
921 (reported by elmex).
922 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
923 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
924 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
925 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
926 Bloch.
927
928 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
929 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
930 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
931 sorry).
932 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
933 make it a little bit more correct c++).
934
935 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
936 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
937 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
938 - minor i18n issue fixes.
939
940 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
941 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
942 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
943 - fix some minor bugs.
944
945 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
946 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
947 for the keymappings.
948 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
949 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
950 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
951 an extension and is slightly ugly.
952 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
953 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
954 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
955 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
956 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
957 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
958 overwritten (as is common).
959 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
960 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
961
962 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
963 - minor doc corrections.
964 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
965 avoid clashes with xterm.
966 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
967 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
968 window colour when arg is "?".
969 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
970 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
971 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
972 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
973 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
974 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
975 (FRILLS).
976 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
977 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
978 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
979 - set _NET_WM_PID.
980
981 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
982 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
983 - support more 8-bit controls.
984 - more informative error messages.
985 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
986 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
987 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
988 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
989 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
990
991 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
992 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
993 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
994 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
995 - removed old selection style completely.
996 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
997 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
998 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
999 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1000 be used from within rxvt.
1001 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1002
1003 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1004 - code cleanup release.
1005 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1006 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1007 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1008 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1009 all files.
1010 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1011 --enable-xgetdefaults.
1012
1013 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1014 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1015 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1016 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1017 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1018 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1019 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1020 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1021 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1022 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1023 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1024 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1025 --disable-xgetdefault.
1026 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1027 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1028 unicode character.
1029 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1030 get it wrong.
1031 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1032
1033 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1034 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1035 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1036 settings.
1037 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1038 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1039 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1040 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1041 mbrtowc.
1042 - more robust encoding name matching.
1043 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1044 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1045 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1046 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1047 resources and docs.
1048 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1049
1050 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1051 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1052 - some doc cleanup
1053 - configure cleanup
1054 - viscii enabled by default
1055 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1056
1057 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1058 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1059
1060 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1061 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1062 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1063 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1064 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1065 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1066 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1067 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1068 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1069 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1070 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1071 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1072 reported by joel reed.
1073 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1074 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1075 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1076 being selected.
1077 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1078 - removed greek support.
1079 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1080 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1081 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1082 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1083 contributed.
1084 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1085 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1086 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1087 - many other minor bugfixes.
1088
1089 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1090 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1091 new bugs, this should not change much.
1092 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1093 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1094 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1095 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1096 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1097 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1098 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1099
1100 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1101 - further cleanups.
1102 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1103 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1104 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1105 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1106 please drop me a note.
1107
1108 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1109 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1110 - blinking text.
1111 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1112 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1113 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1114 was never implemented
1115
1116 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1117 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1118 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1119 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1120 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1121 reported by fefe
1122 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1123 Markus Demleitner
1124 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1125 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1126 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1127
1128 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1129 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1130 - small font tunings
1131 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
1132 - better error reporting for unknown options
1133
1134 1.3 2003-12-26
1135 - fix a bug in font height selection
1136 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1137 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1138 - much faster x11 font selection
1139
1140 1.2 2003-12-24
1141 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1142 - better font matching
1143 - better memory management (less memory)
1144 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1145
1146 1.1 2003-12-18
1147 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1148 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1149 - much improved font choosing
1150
1151 1.0
1152 - first release
1153 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1154 - removed rclock et al.
1155 - initial conversion to C++
1156
