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 9.0
21 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
22 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
23 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
24 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
25 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
26 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
27 till the first event arrives. or so.
28 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
29 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
30 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
31 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
32 resets the terminal.
33 - scrollbar code cleanups.
34
35 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
36 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
37 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
38 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
39 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
40 would not clear it visually in another.
41 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
42 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
43 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
44 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
45 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
46 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
47
48 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
49 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
50 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
51 effects.
52 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
53 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
54 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
55 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
56 text was visible.
57 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
58 some minor improvements.
59 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
60 display and not once per terminal window.
61 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
62
63 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
64 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
65 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
66 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
67
68 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
69 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
70 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
71 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
72 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
73 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
74 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
75 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
76
77 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
78 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
79
80 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
81 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
82 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
83 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
84 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
85 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
86 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
87 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
88 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
89 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
90 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
91 - parallel builds should work once more.
92
93 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
94 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
95 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
96 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
97 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
98 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
99 missing DISPLAY.
100 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
101 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
102 - updated io_manager.
103
104 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
105 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
106 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
107 /usr/X11R6/lib.
108 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
109 patch by Sasha Vasko.
110 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
111 (patch by Philip Paeps).
112 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
113 (patch by Mikachu).
114 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
115 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
116 digit (exg).
117 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
118 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
119 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
120 extension (tpope).
121 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
122 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
123 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
124 problems.
125
126 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
127 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
128 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
129 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
130 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
131 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
132 (found by Aiviru).
133 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
134 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
135 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
136 case to work around for :/
137 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
138 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
139 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
140 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
141 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
142 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
143 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
144 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
145 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
146 Paskevich).
147 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
148 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
149 - update libptytty.
150 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
151 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
152 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
153 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
154 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
155 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
156 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
157 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
158 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
159
160 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
161 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
162 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
163 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
164 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
165 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
166 Reported by Takano Akio.
167 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
168 reported by exg.
169 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
170 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
171 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
172 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
173
174 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
175 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
176 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
177 circumstances (reported by exg).
178 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
179 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
180 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
181 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
182 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
183 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
184 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
185 - update to libptytty-1.0.
186 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
187 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
188 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
189 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
190 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
191 bug #143985).
192 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
193 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
194 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
195 - manpage fix by exg.
196
197 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
198 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
199 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
200 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
201 it does! :->
202 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
203 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
204
205 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
206 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
207 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
208 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
209 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
210 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
211 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
212 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
213 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
214 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
215 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
216 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
217 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
218 uppercase character.
219 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
220 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
221 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
222 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
223 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
224 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
225 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
226 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
227 generic osc_seq.
228 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
229 were invoked recursively.
230 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
231 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
232 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
233 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
234 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
235 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
236 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
237 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
238 by omatunto_.
239 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
240 follow C++ closely enough.
241 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
242 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
243 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
244 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
245
246 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
247 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
248 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
249 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
250 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
251 click, and eats the click.
252 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
253 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
254 refresh bugs please.
255 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
256 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
257 improve size hint setting.
258 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
259 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
260 to correctly position their preedit window.
261 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
262 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
263 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
264 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
265 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
266 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
267 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
268 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
269 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
270 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
271 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
272 (reported by Paco-Paco).
273 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
274 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
275 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
276
277 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
278 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
279 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
280 resource value.
281 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
282 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
283 relevant tab window.
284 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
285 (initial patch by hednod).
286 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
287 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
288 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
289 the benefit of automove-background.
290 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
291 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
292 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
293 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
294 __linux__.
295 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
296 the colour components.
297 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
298 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
299 - more colour rtt optimisations.
300 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
301 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
302 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
303 - minor libptytty update.
304
305 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
306 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
307 detection:
308 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
309 - overlap detection was improved.
310 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
311 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
312 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
313 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
314 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
315 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
316 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
317 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
318 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
319 broken.
320 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
321 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
322 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
323 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
324 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
325 (patch by Paco-Paco).
326 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
327 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
328 an "[alpha]" prefix.
329 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
330 transparent. Long Live Xft!
331 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
332 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
333 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
334 on a pseudocolor screen.
335 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
336 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
337 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
338 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
339 - small configure updates.
340 - further RTT optimisations.
341 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
342 the debian package.
343 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
344 but much newer than the old one.
345
346 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
347 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
348 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
349 - small configure updates for libptytty.
350 - fixed version options: line output.
351 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
352
353 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
354 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
355 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
356 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
357 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
358 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
359 selection extension.
360 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
361 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
362 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
363 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
364 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
365 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
366 needs the careful rendering mode.
367 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
368 too wide and needs careful mode.
369 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
370 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
371 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
372 atoms only once per display.
373 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
374 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
375 xterm.
376
377 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
378 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
379 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
380 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
381 ctrl-shift-672c).
382 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
383 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
384 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
385 the primary screen.
386 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
387 could lead to an assertion failure.
388 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
389 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
390 via mouse clicks.
391 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
392 with shift - mouse button 2.
393 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
394 in non-synthetic events.
395 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
396 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
397 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
398 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
399 whole urxvt[d] process.
400 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
401 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
402 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
403 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
404
405 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
406 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
407 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
408 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
409 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
410 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
411 special privileges.
412 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
413 itself.
414 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
415 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
416 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
417 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
418 similar stuff.
419 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
420 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
421 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
422 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
423 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
424 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
425 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
426 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
427 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
428 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
429 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
430 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
431 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
432 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
433 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
434 to set the window title.
435 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
436 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
437 at the wrong time.
438 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
439 anymore.
440 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
441 - nuked QNX support.
442 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
443 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
444 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
445 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
446
447 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
448 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
449 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
450 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
451 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
452 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
453 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
454 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
455 and much much more.
456 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
457 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
458 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
459 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
460 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
461 setuid/setgid.
462 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
463 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
464 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
465 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
466 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
467 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
468 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
469 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
470 compatible, and not really small either.
471 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
472 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
473 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
474 to crashes.
475 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
476 colours.
477 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
478 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
479
480 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
481 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
482 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
483 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
484 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
485 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
486 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
487 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
488 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
489 by Mikachu).
490 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
491 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
492 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
493 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
494 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
495 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
496 - fix directory permissions on install.
497 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
498 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
499 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
500 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
501 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
502
503 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
504 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
505 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
506 Chuck Blake.
507 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
508 obscure the mouse cursor position.
509 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
510 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
511 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
512 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
513 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
514 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
515 transfer efficiency.
516 - further minor cleanups.
517
518 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
519 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
520 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
521 while the user still drags.
522 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
523 not drawn correctly.
524 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
525 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
526 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
527 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
528 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
529 stripping whitespace.
530 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
531 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
532
533 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
534 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
535 - enable slow link support by default.
536 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
537 (also a bug in original rxvt).
538 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
539 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
540 partial patch).
541 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
542 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
543 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
544 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
545 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
546 - implement -hold option.
547 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
548 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
549 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
550 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
551 - slight overall speed improvements.
552 - considerably improved code clarity.
553 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
554 buffer.
555
556 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
557 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
558 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
559 (matters only for rxvtd).
560 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
561 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
562 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
563
564 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
565 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
566 If you want the old behaviour, try:
567 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
568 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
569 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
570 percentage by 100-percentage.
571 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
572 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
573 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
574 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
575 windows.
576 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
577 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
578 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
579 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
580 - replaced INSTALL file.
581
582 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
583 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
584 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
585 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
586 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
587 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
588 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
589 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
590 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
591
592 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
593 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
594 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
595 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
596 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
597 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
598 Affects display in iso14755 box.
599 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
600 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
601 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
602 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
603 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
604 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
605 cutting pieces off of characters.
606 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
607 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
608 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
609 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
610 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
611 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
612 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
613
614 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
615 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
616 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
617 meaning of the given key.
618 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
619 (patch by Martin Edlman).
620
621 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
622 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
623 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
624 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
625 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
626 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
627 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
628 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
629 to disable it.
630
631 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
632 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
633 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
634 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
635 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
636 with modifiers.
637 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
638 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
639 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
640 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
641 and clear the scrollback buffer.
642
643 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
644 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
645 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
646 a command.
647 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
648 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
649 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
650 in Perl/Gtk2.
651 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
652 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
653 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
654 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
655 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
656 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
657 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
658 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
659 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
660 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
661 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
662 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
663 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
664 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
665 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
666 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
667 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
668 rxvt-unicode).
669 - get rid of the intpro files.
670
671 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
672 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
673 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
674 (Kuang-che Wu).
675 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
676 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
677 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
678 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
679 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
680 along with other, similar, cleanups.
681 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
682 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
683 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
684 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
685 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
686 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
687
688 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
689 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
690 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
691 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
692 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
693 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
694 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
695 his patience and time in tracking this down).
696 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
697 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
698 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
699 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
700 by Joël Riou).
701 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
702 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
703 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
704 - shaved off some code segment size.
705 - various code cleanups.
706 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
707
708 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
709 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
710 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
711 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
712 -pixmap is active.
713 - new option/resource imFont.
714 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
715 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
716 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
717 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
718 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
719 (WU Fengguang).
720 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
721 examples (rxvt.1).
722 - removed src/test completely.
723 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
724
725 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
726 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
727 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
728 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
729 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
730 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
731 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
732 resulting in segfaults.
733 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
734 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
735 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
736 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
737 (Mikael Magnusson).
738 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
739 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
740 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
741 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
742 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
743 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
744 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
745 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
746 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
747 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
748 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
749 - initialize the locale much earlier.
750 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
751
752 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
753 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
754 black on initial startup.
755 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
756 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
757 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
758 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
759 additional multimedia keys.
760 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
761 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
762
763 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
764 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
765 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
766 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
767 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
768 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
769 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
770 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
771 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
772 ignored.
773 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
774 instead.
775 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
776 (reported by hednod).
777 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
778 - fix atom name enumeration.
779
780 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
781 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
782 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
783 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
784 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
785 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
786
787 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
788 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
789 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
790 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
791 titles etc.
792 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
793 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
794 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
795 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
796 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
797 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
798 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
799 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
800 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
801 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
802 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
803 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
804 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
805 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
806
807 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
808 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
809 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
810 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
811 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
812 thoroughly.
813 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
814 now, too.
815
816 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
817 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
818 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
819 on high-latency networks.
820 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
821 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
822 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
823 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
824 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
825 by Gunnar Ritter.
826 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
827 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
828
829 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
830 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
831 -ssc/-ssr settings.
832 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
833 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
834 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
835 - add compile fix for darwin.
836 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
837 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
838 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
839
840 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
841 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
842 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
843 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
844 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
845 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
846 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
847 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
848 ... terminated by a fix.
849 - new supported preeeditType "None".
850 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
851 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
852 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
853 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
854 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
855 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
856 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
857 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
858 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
859 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
860 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
861 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
862 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
863 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
864 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
865 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
866 in tracking this down.
867 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
868 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
869
870 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
871 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
872 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
873
874 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
875 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
876 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
877 installed if tic is available.
878 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
879 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
880 - removed README.unicode.
881 - support select&paste of tab characters.
882 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
883 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
884 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
885 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
886 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
887 screen updates with curses.
888 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
889 by spaces.
890 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
891 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
892 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
893 is just too slow for this to work.
894 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
895 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
896 implement. use --enable-styles.
897 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
898 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
899 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
900 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
901 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
902 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
903 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
904 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
905 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
906 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
907 (only for non-bold right now).
908 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
909 - better default font size and style.
910 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
911 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
912 single character against the base font extents and will only
913 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
914 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
915 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
916 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
917 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
918 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
919 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
920 screen height.
921 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
922 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
923 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
924 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
925 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
926 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
927 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
928 - removed OSC 702.
929 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
930 confused by it rather than using it.
931
932 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
933 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
934 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
935 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
936 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
937 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
938 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
939 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
940 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
941 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
942 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
943 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
944 close).
945 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
946 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
947 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
948 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
949 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
950 could not be created.
951 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
952 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
953 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
954 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
955 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
956 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
957 works.
958 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
959 - document more escape sequences.
960 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
961 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
962 character is a sensible operation.
963 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
964 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
965 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
966 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
967 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
968 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
969 with selections).
970
971 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
972 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
973 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
974 needs access to a local shell window).
975 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
976 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
977 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
978 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
979 a little window or so) would be welcome.
980 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
981 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
982 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
983 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
984 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
985 added there.
986 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
987 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
988 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
989 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
990 instead of being ignored.
991 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
992 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
993 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
994 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
995 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
996 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
997 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
998 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
999 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1000 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1001 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1002 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1003 needs testing anyways.
1004 - more complete compile options help output.
1005 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1006 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1007 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1008 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1009 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1010 - minor doc fix.
1011
1012 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1013 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1014 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1015 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1016 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1017 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1018 memmove :)
1019 - minor cleanups.
1020 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1021 (debian bug #169415).
1022 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1023 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1024 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1025 - updated config.guess.
1026
1027 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1028 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1029 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1030 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1031 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1032 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1033 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1034 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1035 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1036 - various other optimizations.
1037 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1038
1039 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1040 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1041 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1042 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1043 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1044 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1045 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1046 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1047 Mikael Magnusson).
1048 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1049 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1050 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1051
1052 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1053 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1054 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1055 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1056 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1057 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1058 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1059 with ^V (SYN).
1060 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1061
1062 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1063 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1064 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1065 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1066 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1067 well as with other terminal emulators.
1068 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistant locale
1069 (reported by elmex).
1070 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1071 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1072 the window relative to it's frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1073 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1074 Bloch.
1075
1076 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1077 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1078 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1079 sorry).
1080 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1081 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1082
1083 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1084 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1085 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1086 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1087
1088 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1089 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1090 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1091 - fix some minor bugs.
1092
1093 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1094 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1095 for the keymappings.
1096 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1097 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1098 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1099 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1100 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1101 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1102 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1103 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1104 - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
1105 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1106 overwritten (as is common).
1107 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1108 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1109
1110 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1111 - minor doc corrections.
1112 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1113 avoid clashes with xterm.
1114 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1115 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1116 window colour when arg is "?".
1117 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1118 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1119 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1120 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1121 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1122 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1123 (FRILLS).
1124 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1125 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1126 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1127 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1128
1129 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1130 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1131 - support more 8-bit controls.
1132 - more informative error messages.
1133 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1134 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1135 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1136 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1137 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1138
1139 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1140 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1141 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1142 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1143 - removed old selection style completely.
1144 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1145 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1146 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1147 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1148 be used from within rxvt.
1149 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1150
1151 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1152 - code cleanup release.
1153 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1154 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1155 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1156 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1157 all files.
1158 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1159 --enable-xgetdefaults.
1160
1161 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1162 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1163 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1164 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1165 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1166 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1167 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1168 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1169 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1170 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1171 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1172 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1173 --disable-xgetdefault.
1174 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1175 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1176 unicode character.
1177 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1178 get it wrong.
1179 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1180
1181 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1182 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1183 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1184 settings.
1185 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1186 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1187 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1188 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1189 mbrtowc.
1190 - more robust encoding name matching.
1191 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1192 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1193 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1194 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1195 resources and docs.
1196 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1197
1198 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1199 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1200 - some doc cleanup
1201 - configure cleanup
1202 - viscii enabled by default
1203 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1204
1205 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1206 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1207
1208 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1209 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1210 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1211 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1212 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1213 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1214 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1215 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1216 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1217 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1218 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1219 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1220 reported by joel reed.
1221 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1222 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1223 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1224 being selected.
1225 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1226 - removed greek support.
1227 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1228 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1229 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1230 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1231 contributed.
1232 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1233 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1234 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1235 - many other minor bugfixes.
1236
1237 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1238 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1239 new bugs, this should not change much.
1240 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1241 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1242 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1243 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1244 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1245 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1246 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1247
1248 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1249 - further cleanups.
1250 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1251 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1252 use reverse video, not _blink_.
1253 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1254 please drop me a note.
1255
1256 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1257 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1258 - blinking text.
1259 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1260 normal text when colorBD is not set.
1261 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1262 was never implemented
1263
1264 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1265 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1266 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1267 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1268 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1269 reported by fefe
1270 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1271 Markus Demleitner
1272 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1273 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1274 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1275
1276 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1277 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1278 - small font tunings
1279 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
1280 - better error reporting for unknown options
1281
1282 1.3 2003-12-26
1283 - fix a bug in font height selection
1284 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
1285 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
1286 - much faster x11 font selection
1287
1288 1.2 2003-12-24
1289 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
1290 - better font matching
1291 - better memory management (less memory)
1292 - new fallback: gnu freefont
1293
1294 1.1 2003-12-18
1295 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
1296 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
1297 - much improved font choosing
1298
1299 1.0
1300 - first release
1301 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
1302 - removed rclock et al.
1303 - initial conversion to C++
1304
