3 TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5 TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
9 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
10 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
11 TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
16 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18 DUMB: support tex fonts
19
20 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
21 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
22 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
23 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
24 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
25
26 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
27 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
28
29 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
30 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
31 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
32 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
33 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
34 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
35 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
36 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
37 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
38 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
39 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
40 - parallel builds should work once more.
41
42 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
43 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
44 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
45 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
46 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
47 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
48 missing DISPLAY.
49 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
50 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
51 - updated io_manager.
52
53 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
54 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
55 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
56 /usr/X11R6/lib.
57 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
58 patch by Sasha Vasko.
59 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
60 (patch by Philip Paeps).
61 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
62 (patch by Mikachu).
63 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
64 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
65 digit (exg).
66 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
67 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
68 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
69 extension (tpope).
70 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
71 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
72 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
73 problems.
74
75 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
76 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
77 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
78 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
79 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
80 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
81 (found by Aiviru).
82 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
83 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
84 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
85 case to work around for :/
86 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
87 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
88 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
89 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
90 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
91 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
92 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
93 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
94 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
95 Paskevich).
96 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
97 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
98 - update libptytty.
99 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
100 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
101 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
102 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
103 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
104 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
105 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
106 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
107 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
108
109 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
110 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
111 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
112 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
113 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
114 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
115 Reported by Takano Akio.
116 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
117 reported by exg.
118 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
119 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
120 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
121 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
122
123 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
124 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
125 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
126 circumstances (reported by exg).
127 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
128 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
129 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
130 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
131 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
132 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
133 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
134 - update to libptytty-1.0.
135 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
136 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
137 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
138 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
139 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
140 bug #143985).
141 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
142 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
143 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
144 - manpage fix by exg.
145
146 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
147 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
148 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
149 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
150 it does! :->
151 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
152 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
153
154 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
155 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
156 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
157 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
158 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
159 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
160 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
161 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
162 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
163 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
164 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
165 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
166 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
167 uppercase character.
168 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
169 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
170 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
171 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
172 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
173 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
174 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
175 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
176 generic osc_seq.
177 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
178 were invoked recursively.
179 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
180 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
181 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
182 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
183 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
184 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
185 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
186 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
187 by omatunto_.
188 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
189 follow C++ closely enough.
190 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
191 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
192 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
193 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
194
195 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
196 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
197 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
198 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
199 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
200 click, and eats the click.
201 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
202 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
203 refresh bugs please.
204 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
205 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
206 improve size hint setting.
207 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
208 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
209 to correctly position their preedit window.
210 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
211 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
212 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
213 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
214 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
215 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
216 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
217 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
218 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
219 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
220 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
221 (reported by Paco-Paco).
222 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
223 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
224 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
225
226 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
227 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
228 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
229 resource value.
230 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
231 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
232 relevant tab window.
233 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
234 (initial patch by hednod).
235 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
236 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
237 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
238 the benefit of automove-background.
239 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
240 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
241 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
242 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
243 __linux__.
244 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
245 the colour components.
246 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
247 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
248 - more colour rtt optimisations.
249 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
250 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
251 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
252 - minor libptytty update.
253
254 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
255 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
256 detection:
257 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
258 - overlap detection was improved.
259 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
260 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
261 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
262 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
263 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
264 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
265 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
266 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
267 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
268 broken.
269 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
270 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
271 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
272 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
273 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
274 (patch by Paco-Paco).
275 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
276 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
277 an "[alpha]" prefix.
278 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
279 transparent. Long Live Xft!
280 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
281 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
282 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
283 on a pseudocolor screen.
284 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
285 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
286 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
287 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
288 - small configure updates.
289 - further RTT optimisations.
290 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
291 the debian package.
292 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
293 but much newer than the old one.
294
295 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
296 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
297 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
298 - small configure updates for libptytty.
299 - fixed version options: line output.
300 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
301
302 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
303 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
304 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
305 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
306 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
307 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
308 selection extension.
309 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
310 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
311 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
312 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
313 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
314 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
315 needs the careful rendering mode.
316 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
317 too wide and needs careful mode.
318 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
319 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
320 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
321 atoms only once per display.
322 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
323 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
324 xterm.
325
326 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
327 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
328 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
329 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
330 ctrl-shift-672c).
331 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
332 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
333 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
334 the primary screen.
335 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
336 could lead to an assertion failure.
337 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
338 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
339 via mouse clicks.
340 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
341 with shift - mouse button 2.
342 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
343 in non-synthetic events.
344 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
345 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
346 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
347 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
348 whole urxvt[d] process.
349 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
350 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
351 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
352 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
353
354 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
355 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
356 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
357 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
358 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
359 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
360 special privileges.
361 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
362 itself.
363 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
364 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
365 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
366 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
367 similar stuff.
368 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
369 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
370 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
371 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
372 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
373 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
374 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
375 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
376 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
377 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
378 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
379 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
380 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
381 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
382 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
383 to set the window title.
384 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
385 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
386 at the wrong time.
387 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
388 anymore.
389 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
390 - nuked QNX support.
391 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
392 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
393 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
394 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
395
396 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
397 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
398 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
399 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
400 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
401 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
402 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
403 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
404 and much much more.
405 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
406 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
407 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
408 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
409 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
410 setuid/setgid.
411 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
412 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
413 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
414 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
415 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
416 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
417 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
418 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
419 compatible, and not really small either.
420 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
421 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
422 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
423 to crashes.
424 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
425 colours.
426 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
427 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
428
429 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
430 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
431 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
432 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
433 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
434 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
435 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
436 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
437 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
438 by Mikachu).
439 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
440 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
441 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
442 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
443 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
444 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
445 - fix directory permissions on install.
446 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
447 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
448 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
449 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
450 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
451
452 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
453 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
454 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
455 Chuck Blake.
456 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
457 obscure the mouse cursor position.
458 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
459 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
460 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
461 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
462 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
463 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
464 transfer efficiency.
465 - further minor cleanups.
466
467 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
468 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
469 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
470 while the user still drags.
471 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
472 not drawn correctly.
473 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
474 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
475 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
476 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
477 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
478 stripping whitespace.
479 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
480 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
481
482 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
483 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
484 - enable slow link support by default.
485 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
486 (also a bug in original rxvt).
487 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
488 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
489 partial patch).
490 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
491 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
492 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
493 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
494 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
495 - implement -hold option.
496 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
497 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
498 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
499 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
500 - slight overall speed improvements.
501 - considerably improved code clarity.
502 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
503 buffer.
504
505 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
506 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
507 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
508 (matters only for rxvtd).
509 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
510 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
511 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
512
513 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
514 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
515 If you want the old behaviour, try:
516 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
517 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
518 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
519 percentage by 100-percentage.
520 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
521 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
522 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
523 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
524 windows.
525 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
526 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
527 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
528 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
529 - replaced INSTALL file.
530
531 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
532 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
533 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
534 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
535 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
536 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
537 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
538 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
539 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
540
541 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
542 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
543 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
544 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
545 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
546 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
547 Affects display in iso14755 box.
548 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
549 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
550 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
551 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
552 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
553 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
554 cutting pieces off of characters.
555 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
556 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
557 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
558 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
559 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
560 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
561 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
562
563 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
564 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
565 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
566 meaning of the given key.
567 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
568 (patch by Martin Edlman).
569
570 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
571 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
572 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
573 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
574 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
575 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
576 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
577 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
578 to disable it.
579
580 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
581 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
582 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
583 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
584 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
585 with modifiers.
586 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
587 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
588 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
589 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
590 and clear the scrollback buffer.
591
592 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
593 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
594 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
595 a command.
596 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
597 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
598 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
599 in Perl/Gtk2.
600 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
601 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
602 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
603 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
604 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
605 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
606 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
607 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
608 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
609 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
610 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
611 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
612 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
613 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
614 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
615 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
616 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
617 rxvt-unicode).
618 - get rid of the intpro files.
619
620 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
621 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
622 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
623 (Kuang-che Wu).
624 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
625 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
626 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
627 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
628 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
629 along with other, similar, cleanups.
630 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
631 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
632 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
633 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
634 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
635 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
636
637 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
638 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
639 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
640 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
641 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
642 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
643 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
644 his patience and time in tracking this down).
645 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
646 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
647 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
648 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
649 by Joël Riou).
650 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
651 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
652 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
653 - shaved off some code segment size.
654 - various code cleanups.
655 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
656
657 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
658 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
659 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
660 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
661 -pixmap is active.
662 - new option/resource imFont.
663 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
664 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
665 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
666 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
667 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
668 (WU Fengguang).
669 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
670 examples (rxvt.1).
671 - removed src/test completely.
672 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
673
674 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
675 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
676 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
677 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
678 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
679 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
680 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
681 resulting in segfaults.
682 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
683 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
684 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
685 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
686 (Mikael Magnusson).
687 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
688 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
689 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
690 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
691 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
692 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
693 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
694 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
695 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
696 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
697 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
698 - initialize the locale much earlier.
699 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
700
701 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
702 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
703 black on initial startup.
704 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
705 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
706 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
707 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
708 additional multimedia keys.
709 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
710 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
711
712 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
713 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
714 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
715 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
716 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
717 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
718 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
719 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
720 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
721 ignored.
722 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
723 instead.
724 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
725 (reported by hednod).
726 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
727 - fix atom name enumeration.
728
729 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
730 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
731 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
732 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
733 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
734 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
735
736 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
737 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
738 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
739 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
740 titles etc.
741 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
742 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
743 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
744 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
745 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
746 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
747 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
748 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
749 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
750 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
751 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
752 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
753 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
754 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
755
756 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
757 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
758 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
759 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
760 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
761 thoroughly.
762 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
763 now, too.
764
765 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
766 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
767 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
768 on high-latency networks.
769 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
770 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
771 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
772 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
773 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
774 by Gunnar Ritter.
775 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
776 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
777
778 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
779 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
780 -ssc/-ssr settings.
781 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
782 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
783 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
784 - add compile fix for darwin.
785 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
786 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
787 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
788
789 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
790 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
791 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
792 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
793 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
794 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
795 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
796 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
797 ... terminated by a fix.
798 - new supported preeeditType "None".
799 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
800 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
801 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
802 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
803 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
804 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
805 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
806 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
807 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
808 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
809 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
810 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
811 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
812 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
813 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
814 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
815 in tracking this down.
816 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
817 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
818
819 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
820 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
821 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
822
823 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
824 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
825 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
826 installed if tic is available.
827 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
828 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
829 - removed README.unicode.
830 - support select&paste of tab characters.
831 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
832 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
833 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
834 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
835 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
836 screen updates with curses.
837 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
838 by spaces.
839 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
840 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
841 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
842 is just too slow for this to work.
843 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
844 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
845 implement. use --enable-styles.
846 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
847 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
848 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
849 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
850 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
851 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
852 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
853 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
854 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
855 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
856 (only for non-bold right now).
857 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
858 - better default font size and style.
859 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
860 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
861 single character against the base font extents and will only
862 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
863 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
864 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
865 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
866 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
867 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
868 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
869 screen height.
870 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
871 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
872 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
873 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
874 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
875 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
876 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
877 - removed OSC 702.
878 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
879 confused by it rather than using it.
880
881 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
882 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
883 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
884 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
885 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
886 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
887 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
888 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
889 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
890 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
891 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
892 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
893 close).
894 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
895 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
896 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
897 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
898 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
899 could not be created.
900 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
901 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
902 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
903 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
904 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
905 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
906 works.
907 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
908 - document more escape sequences.
909 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
910 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
911 character is a sensible operation.
912 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
913 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
914 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
915 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
916 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
917 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
918 with selections).
919
920 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
921 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
922 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
923 needs access to a local shell window).
924 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
925 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
926 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
927 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
928 a little window or so) would be welcome.
929 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
930 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
931 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
932 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
933 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
934 added there.
935 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
936 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
937 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
938 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
939 instead of being ignored.
940 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
941 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
942 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
943 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
944 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
945 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
946 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
947 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
948 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
949 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
950 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
951 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
952 needs testing anyways.
953 - more complete compile options help output.
954 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
955 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
956 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
957 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
958 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
959 - minor doc fix.
960
961 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
962 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
963 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
964 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
965 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
966 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
967 memmove :)
968 - minor cleanups.
969 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
970 (debian bug #169415).
971 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
972 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
973 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
974 - updated config.guess.
975
976 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
977 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
978 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
979 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
980 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
981 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
982 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
983 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
984 speeding up scrolling immensely.
985 - various other optimizations.
986 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
987
988 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
989 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
990 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
991 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
992 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
993 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
994 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
995 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
996 Mikael Magnusson).
997 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
998 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
999 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1000
1001 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1002 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1003 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1004 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1005 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1006 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1007 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1008 with ^V (SYN).
1009 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1010
1011 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1012 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1013 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1014 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1015 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1016 well as with other terminal emulators.
1017 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
1018 (reported by elmex).
1019 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1020 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1021 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1022 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1023 Bloch.
1024
1025 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1026 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1027 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1028 sorry).
1029 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1030 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1031
1032 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1033 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1034 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1035 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1036
1037 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1038 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1039 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1040 - fix some minor bugs.
1041
1042 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1043 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1044 for the keymappings.
1045 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1046 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1047 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1048 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1049 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1050 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1051 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1052 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1053 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1054 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1055 overwritten (as is common).
1056 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1057 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1058
1059 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1060 - minor doc corrections.
1061 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1062 avoid clashes with xterm.
1063 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1064 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1065 window colour when arg is "?".
1066 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1067 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1068 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1069 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1070 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1071 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1072 (FRILLS).
1073 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1074 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1075 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1076 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1077
1078 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1079 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1080 - support more 8-bit controls.
1081 - more informative error messages.
1082 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1083 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1084 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1085 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1086 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1087
1088 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1089 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1090 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1091 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1092 - removed old selection style completely.
1093 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1094 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1095 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1096 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1097 be used from within rxvt.
1098 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1099
1100 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1101 - code cleanup release.
1102 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1103 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1104 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1105 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1106 all files.
1107 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1108 --enable-xgetdefaults.
1109
1110 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1111 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1112 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1113 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1114 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1115 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1116 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1117 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1118 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1119 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1120 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1121 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1122 --disable-xgetdefault.
1123 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1124 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1125 unicode character.
1126 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1127 get it wrong.
1128 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1129
1130 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1131 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1132 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1133 settings.
1134 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1135 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1136 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1137 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1138 mbrtowc.
1139 - more robust encoding name matching.
1140 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1141 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1142 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1143 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1144 resources and docs.
1145 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1146
1147 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1148 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1149 - some doc cleanup
1150 - configure cleanup
1151 - viscii enabled by default
1152 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1153
1154 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1155 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1156
1157 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1158 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1159 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1160 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1161 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1162 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1163 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1164 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1165 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1166 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1167 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1168 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1169 reported by joel reed.
1170 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1171 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1172 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1173 being selected.
1174 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1175 - removed greek support.
1176 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1177 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1178 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1179 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1180 contributed.
1181 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1182 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1183 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1184 - many other minor bugfixes.
1185
1186 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1187 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1188 new bugs, this should not change much.
1189 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1190 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1191 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1192 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1193 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1194 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1195 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1196
1197 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1198 - further cleanups.
1199 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1200 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1201 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1202 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1203 please drop me a note.
1204
1205 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1206 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1207 - blinking text.
1208 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1209 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1210 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1211 was never implemented
1212
1213 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1214 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1215 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1216 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1217 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1218 reported by fefe
1219 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1220 Markus Demleitner
1221 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1222 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1223 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1224
1225 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1226 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1227 - small font tunings
1228 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
1229 - better error reporting for unknown options
1230
1231 1.3 2003-12-26
1232 - fix a bug in font height selection
1233 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1234 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1235 - much faster x11 font selection
1236
1237 1.2 2003-12-24
1238 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1239 - better font matching
1240 - better memory management (less memory)
1241 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1242
1243 1.1 2003-12-18
1244 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1245 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1246 - much improved font choosing
1247
1248 1.0
1249 - first release
1250 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1251 - removed rclock et al.
1252 - initial conversion to C++
1253
