1 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2
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 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
21 - scrollbar code cleanups.
22 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
23 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
24 resets the terminal.
25
26 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
27 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
28 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
29 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
30 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
31 would not clear it visually in another.
32 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
33 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
34 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
35 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
36 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
37 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
38
39 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
40 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
41 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
42 effects.
43 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
44 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
45 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
46 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
47 text was visible.
48 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
49 some minor improvements.
50 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
51 display and not once per terminal window.
52 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
53
54 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
55 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
56 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
57 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
58
59 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
60 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
61 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
62 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
63 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
64 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
65 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
66 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
67
68 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
69 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
70
71 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
72 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
73 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
74 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
75 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
76 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
77 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
78 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
79 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
80 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
81 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
82 - parallel builds should work once more.
83
84 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
85 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
86 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
87 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
88 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
89 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
90 missing DISPLAY.
91 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
92 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
93 - updated io_manager.
94
95 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
96 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
97 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
98 /usr/X11R6/lib.
99 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
100 patch by Sasha Vasko.
101 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
102 (patch by Philip Paeps).
103 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
104 (patch by Mikachu).
105 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
106 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
107 digit (exg).
108 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
109 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
110 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
111 extension (tpope).
112 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
113 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
114 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
115 problems.
116
117 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
118 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
119 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
120 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
121 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
122 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
123 (found by Aiviru).
124 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
125 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
126 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
127 case to work around for :/
128 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
129 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
130 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
131 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
132 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
133 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
134 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
135 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
136 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
137 Paskevich).
138 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
139 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
140 - update libptytty.
141 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
142 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
143 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
144 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
145 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
146 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
147 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
148 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
149 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
150
151 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
152 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
153 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
154 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
155 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
156 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
157 Reported by Takano Akio.
158 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
159 reported by exg.
160 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
161 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
162 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
163 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
164
165 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
166 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
167 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
168 circumstances (reported by exg).
169 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
170 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
171 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
172 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
173 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
174 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
175 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
176 - update to libptytty-1.0.
177 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
178 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
179 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
180 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
181 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
182 bug #143985).
183 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
184 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
185 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
186 - manpage fix by exg.
187
188 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
189 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
190 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
191 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
192 it does! :->
193 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
194 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
195
196 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
197 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
198 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
199 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
200 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
201 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
202 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
203 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
204 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
205 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
206 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
207 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
208 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
209 uppercase character.
210 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
211 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
212 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
213 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
214 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
215 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
216 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
217 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
218 generic osc_seq.
219 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
220 were invoked recursively.
221 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
222 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
223 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
224 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
225 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
226 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
227 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
228 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
229 by omatunto_.
230 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
231 follow C++ closely enough.
232 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
233 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
234 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
235 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
236
237 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
238 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
239 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
240 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
241 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
242 click, and eats the click.
243 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
244 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
245 refresh bugs please.
246 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
247 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
248 improve size hint setting.
249 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
250 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
251 to correctly position their preedit window.
252 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
253 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
254 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
255 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
256 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
257 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
258 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
259 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
260 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
261 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
262 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
263 (reported by Paco-Paco).
264 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
265 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
266 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
267
268 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
269 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
270 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
271 resource value.
272 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
273 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
274 relevant tab window.
275 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
276 (initial patch by hednod).
277 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
278 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
279 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
280 the benefit of automove-background.
281 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
282 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
283 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
284 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
285 __linux__.
286 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
287 the colour components.
288 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
289 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
290 - more colour rtt optimisations.
291 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
292 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
293 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
294 - minor libptytty update.
295
296 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
297 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
298 detection:
299 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
300 - overlap detection was improved.
301 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
302 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
303 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
304 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
305 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
306 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
307 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
308 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
309 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
310 broken.
311 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
312 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
313 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
314 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
315 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
316 (patch by Paco-Paco).
317 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
318 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
319 an "[alpha]" prefix.
320 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
321 transparent. Long Live Xft!
322 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
323 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
324 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
325 on a pseudocolor screen.
326 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
327 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
328 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
329 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
330 - small configure updates.
331 - further RTT optimisations.
332 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
333 the debian package.
334 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
335 but much newer than the old one.
336
337 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
338 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
339 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
340 - small configure updates for libptytty.
341 - fixed version options: line output.
342 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
343
344 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
345 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
346 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
347 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
348 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
349 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
350 selection extension.
351 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
352 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
353 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
354 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
355 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
356 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
357 needs the careful rendering mode.
358 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
359 too wide and needs careful mode.
360 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
361 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
362 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
363 atoms only once per display.
364 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
365 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
366 xterm.
367
368 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
369 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
370 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
371 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
372 ctrl-shift-672c).
373 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
374 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
375 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
376 the primary screen.
377 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
378 could lead to an assertion failure.
379 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
380 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
381 via mouse clicks.
382 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
383 with shift - mouse button 2.
384 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
385 in non-synthetic events.
386 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
387 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
388 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
389 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
390 whole urxvt[d] process.
391 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
392 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
393 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
394 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
395
396 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
397 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
398 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
399 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
400 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
401 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
402 special privileges.
403 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
404 itself.
405 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
406 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
407 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
408 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
409 similar stuff.
410 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
411 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
412 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
413 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
414 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
415 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
416 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
417 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
418 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
419 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
420 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
421 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
422 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
423 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
424 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
425 to set the window title.
426 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
427 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
428 at the wrong time.
429 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
430 anymore.
431 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
432 - nuked QNX support.
433 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
434 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
435 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
436 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
437
438 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
439 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
440 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
441 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
442 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
443 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
444 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
445 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
446 and much much more.
447 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
448 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
449 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
450 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
451 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
452 setuid/setgid.
453 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
454 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
455 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
456 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
457 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
458 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
459 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
460 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
461 compatible, and not really small either.
462 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
463 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
464 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
465 to crashes.
466 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
467 colours.
468 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
469 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
470
471 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
472 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
473 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
474 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
475 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
476 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
477 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
478 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
479 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
480 by Mikachu).
481 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
482 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
483 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
484 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
485 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
486 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
487 - fix directory permissions on install.
488 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
489 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
490 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
491 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
492 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
493
494 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
495 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
496 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
497 Chuck Blake.
498 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
499 obscure the mouse cursor position.
500 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
501 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
502 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
503 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
504 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
505 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
506 transfer efficiency.
507 - further minor cleanups.
508
509 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
510 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
511 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
512 while the user still drags.
513 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
514 not drawn correctly.
515 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
516 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
517 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
518 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
519 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
520 stripping whitespace.
521 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
522 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
523
524 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
525 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
526 - enable slow link support by default.
527 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
528 (also a bug in original rxvt).
529 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
530 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
531 partial patch).
532 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
533 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
534 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
535 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
536 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
537 - implement -hold option.
538 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
539 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
540 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
541 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
542 - slight overall speed improvements.
543 - considerably improved code clarity.
544 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
545 buffer.
546
547 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
548 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
549 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
550 (matters only for rxvtd).
551 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
552 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
553 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
554
555 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
556 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
557 If you want the old behaviour, try:
558 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
559 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
560 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
561 percentage by 100-percentage.
562 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
563 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
564 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
565 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
566 windows.
567 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
568 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
569 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
570 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
571 - replaced INSTALL file.
572
573 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
574 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
575 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
576 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
577 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
578 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
579 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
580 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
581 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
582
583 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
584 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
585 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
586 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
587 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
588 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
589 Affects display in iso14755 box.
590 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
591 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
592 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
593 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
594 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
595 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
596 cutting pieces off of characters.
597 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
598 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
599 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
600 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
601 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
602 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
603 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
604
605 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
606 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
607 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
608 meaning of the given key.
609 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
610 (patch by Martin Edlman).
611
612 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
613 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
614 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
615 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
616 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
617 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
618 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
619 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
620 to disable it.
621
622 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
623 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
624 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
625 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
626 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
627 with modifiers.
628 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
629 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
630 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
631 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
632 and clear the scrollback buffer.
633
634 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
635 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
636 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
637 a command.
638 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
639 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
640 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
641 in Perl/Gtk2.
642 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
643 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
644 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
645 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
646 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
647 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
648 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
649 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
650 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
651 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
652 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
653 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
654 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
655 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
656 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
657 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
658 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
659 rxvt-unicode).
660 - get rid of the intpro files.
661
662 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
663 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
664 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
665 (Kuang-che Wu).
666 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
667 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
668 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
669 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
670 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
671 along with other, similar, cleanups.
672 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
673 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
674 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
675 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
676 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
677 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
678
679 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
680 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
681 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
682 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
683 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
684 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
685 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
686 his patience and time in tracking this down).
687 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
688 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
689 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
690 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
691 by Joël Riou).
692 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
693 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
694 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
695 - shaved off some code segment size.
696 - various code cleanups.
697 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
698
699 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
700 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
701 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
702 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
703 -pixmap is active.
704 - new option/resource imFont.
705 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
706 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
707 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
708 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
709 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
710 (WU Fengguang).
711 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
712 examples (rxvt.1).
713 - removed src/test completely.
714 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
715
716 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
717 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
718 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
719 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
720 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
721 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
722 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
723 resulting in segfaults.
724 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
725 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
726 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
727 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
728 (Mikael Magnusson).
729 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
730 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
731 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
732 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
733 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
734 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
735 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
736 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
737 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
738 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
739 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
740 - initialize the locale much earlier.
741 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
742
743 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
744 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
745 black on initial startup.
746 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
747 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
748 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
749 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
750 additional multimedia keys.
751 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
752 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
753
754 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
755 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
756 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
757 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
758 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
759 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
760 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
761 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
762 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
763 ignored.
764 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
765 instead.
766 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
767 (reported by hednod).
768 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
769 - fix atom name enumeration.
770
771 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
772 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
773 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
774 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
775 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
776 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
777
778 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
779 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
780 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
781 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
782 titles etc.
783 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
784 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
785 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
786 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
787 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
788 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
789 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
790 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
791 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
792 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
793 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
794 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
795 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
796 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
797
798 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
799 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
800 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
801 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
802 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
803 thoroughly.
804 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
805 now, too.
806
807 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
808 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
809 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
810 on high-latency networks.
811 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
812 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
813 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
814 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
815 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
816 by Gunnar Ritter.
817 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
818 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
819
820 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
821 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
822 -ssc/-ssr settings.
823 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
824 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
825 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
826 - add compile fix for darwin.
827 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
828 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
829 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
830
831 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
832 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
833 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
834 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
835 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
836 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
837 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
838 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
839 ... terminated by a fix.
840 - new supported preeeditType "None".
841 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
842 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
843 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
844 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
845 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
846 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
847 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
848 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
849 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
850 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
851 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
852 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
853 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
854 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
855 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
856 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
857 in tracking this down.
858 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
859 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
860
861 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
862 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
863 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
864
865 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
866 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
867 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
868 installed if tic is available.
869 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
870 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
871 - removed README.unicode.
872 - support select&paste of tab characters.
873 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
874 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
875 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
876 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
877 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
878 screen updates with curses.
879 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
880 by spaces.
881 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
882 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
883 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
884 is just too slow for this to work.
885 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
886 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
887 implement. use --enable-styles.
888 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
889 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
890 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
891 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
892 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
893 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
894 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
895 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
896 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
897 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
898 (only for non-bold right now).
899 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
900 - better default font size and style.
901 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
902 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
903 single character against the base font extents and will only
904 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
905 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
906 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
907 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
908 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
909 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
910 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
911 screen height.
912 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
913 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
914 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
915 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
916 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
917 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
918 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
919 - removed OSC 702.
920 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
921 confused by it rather than using it.
922
923 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
924 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
925 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
926 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
927 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
928 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
929 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
930 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
931 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
932 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
933 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
934 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
935 close).
936 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
937 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
938 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
939 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
940 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
941 could not be created.
942 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
943 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
944 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
945 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
946 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
947 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
948 works.
949 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
950 - document more escape sequences.
951 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
952 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
953 character is a sensible operation.
954 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
955 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
956 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
957 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
958 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
959 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
960 with selections).
961
962 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
963 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
964 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
965 needs access to a local shell window).
966 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
967 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
968 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
969 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
970 a little window or so) would be welcome.
971 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
972 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
973 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
974 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
975 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
976 added there.
977 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
978 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
979 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
980 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
981 instead of being ignored.
982 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
983 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
984 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
985 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
986 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
987 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
988 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
989 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
990 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
991 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
992 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
993 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
994 needs testing anyways.
995 - more complete compile options help output.
996 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
997 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
998 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
999 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1000 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1001 - minor doc fix.
1002
1003 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1004 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1005 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1006 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1007 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1008 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1009 memmove :)
1010 - minor cleanups.
1011 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1012 (debian bug #169415).
1013 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1014 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1015 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1016 - updated config.guess.
1017
1018 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1019 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1020 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1021 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1022 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1023 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1024 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1025 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1026 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1027 - various other optimizations.
1028 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1029
1030 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1031 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1032 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1033 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1034 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1035 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1036 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1037 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1038 Mikael Magnusson).
1039 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1040 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1041 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1042
1043 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1044 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1045 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1046 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1047 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1048 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1049 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1050 with ^V (SYN).
1051 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1052
1053 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1054 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1055 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1056 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1057 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1058 well as with other terminal emulators.
1059 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
1060 (reported by elmex).
1061 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1062 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1063 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1064 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1065 Bloch.
1066
1067 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1068 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1069 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1070 sorry).
1071 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1072 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1073
1074 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1075 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1076 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1077 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1078
1079 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1080 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1081 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1082 - fix some minor bugs.
1083
1084 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1085 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1086 for the keymappings.
1087 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1088 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1089 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1090 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1091 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1092 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1093 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1094 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1095 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1096 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1097 overwritten (as is common).
1098 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1099 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1100
1101 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1102 - minor doc corrections.
1103 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1104 avoid clashes with xterm.
1105 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1106 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1107 window colour when arg is "?".
1108 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1109 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1110 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1111 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1112 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1113 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1114 (FRILLS).
1115 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1116 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1117 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1118 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1119
1120 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1121 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1122 - support more 8-bit controls.
1123 - more informative error messages.
1124 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1125 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1126 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1127 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1128 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1129
1130 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1131 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1132 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1133 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1134 - removed old selection style completely.
1135 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1136 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1137 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1138 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1139 be used from within rxvt.
1140 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1141
1142 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1143 - code cleanup release.
1144 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1145 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1146 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1147 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1148 all files.
1149 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1150 --enable-xgetdefaults.
1151
1152 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1153 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1154 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1155 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1156 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1157 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1158 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1159 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1160 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1161 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1162 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1163 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1164 --disable-xgetdefault.
1165 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1166 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1167 unicode character.
1168 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1169 get it wrong.
1170 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1171
1172 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1173 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1174 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1175 settings.
1176 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1177 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1178 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1179 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1180 mbrtowc.
1181 - more robust encoding name matching.
1182 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1183 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1184 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1185 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1186 resources and docs.
1187 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1188
1189 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1190 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1191 - some doc cleanup
1192 - configure cleanup
1193 - viscii enabled by default
1194 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1195
1196 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1197 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1198
1199 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1200 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1201 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1202 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1203 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1204 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1205 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1206 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1207 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1208 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1209 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1210 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1211 reported by joel reed.
1212 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1213 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1214 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1215 being selected.
1216 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1217 - removed greek support.
1218 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1219 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1220 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1221 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1222 contributed.
1223 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1224 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1225 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1226 - many other minor bugfixes.
1227
1228 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1229 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1230 new bugs, this should not change much.
1231 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1232 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1233 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1234 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1235 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1236 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1237 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1238
1239 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1240 - further cleanups.
1241 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1242 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1243 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1244 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1245 please drop me a note.
1246
1247 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1248 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1249 - blinking text.
1250 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1251 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1252 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1253 was never implemented
1254
1255 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1256 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1257 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1258 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1259 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1260 reported by fefe
1261 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1262 Markus Demleitner
1263 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1264 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1265 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1266
1267 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1268 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1269 - small font tunings
1270 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
1271 - better error reporting for unknown options
1272
1273 1.3 2003-12-26
1274 - fix a bug in font height selection
1275 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1276 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1277 - much faster x11 font selection
1278
1279 1.2 2003-12-24
1280 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1281 - better font matching
1282 - better memory management (less memory)
1283 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1284
1285 1.1 2003-12-18
1286 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1287 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1288 - much improved font choosing
1289
1290 1.0
1291 - first release
1292 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1293 - removed rclock et al.
1294 - initial conversion to C++
1295
