2.4.9 to 2.4.10
\-----------------------------------

Geoff Wing <gcw@pobox.com>

                including all of rxvt.h
        changed internals - ripped out RS_Cursor/RS_Select to make basic
                multichar sets (not Kanji/Big5) always enabled - thus handle
                selection and cursor display differently
        fixed bug on scroll lines affecting selection

        switched rxvt licence to GPL
        changed copyrights of the modules
        fixed the terminfo/termcap entries

Mark Olesen <olesen@me.queensu.ca>
        FINALLY added Double-Click mouse reporting.  Uses the upper bits
        of the Button character for X11 reporting so should cause no 
        compatibility problems.
             * State = (<b> - SPACE) & 60
                4    = Shift

        NOTE: no Release is reported after a double-click and the
        Release for the first click of a double-click is not reported.
        This also means the Release event of a very fast click/release
        won't be reported.

Oezguer Kesim <kesim@math.fu-berlin.de>
        removed DONT_GUESS_BACKSPACE. Instead, you may define either
                FORCE_BACKSPACE or FORCE_DELETE or leave both undefined
                in order to get ^H, ^? or the current stty settings for
                'erase'
        fixed positioning of text in the top menubar.
        fixed some missing #define's

2.21a3 to 2.21b*
\---------------
     1. From: Conrad Link <conrad@akira.resnet.rochester.edu>
        Fixed a bug in the OffiX Drag and Drop support.
        rxvt inserted two instances of directories or links when they 
        were dropped onto rxvt.
        
     2. From: <aner@zenith.att.com>
        Fixed a bug that makes rxvt getting constantly "NoExpose" events
        which it is not handling.

     3. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        Fixed a bug that caused rxvt to hang indefinitly waiting for a 
        terminating ^G on an XTerm `ESC]' sequence.

     4. From: Bernard PERROT <perrot@lal.in2p3.fr>
              Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        Fixed a bug that prevented to handle DEC VT2xx's ApLineDel correctly

     5. From: <vikas@insight.att.com>
              Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        Now the Shift/Ctrl cursor key mappings are enabled regardless of
        App-Cursor settings

     6. From: Kai Petzke <wpp@mail.physik.TU-Berlin.DE>
        Fixed a bug with respect to cursor movement. rxvt now handles the
        'G' and 'd' sequences correctly

     7. From: Geoff Wing <mason@primenet.com.au>
        Fixed a couple of things in utmp.c 

     8. From: Denis N. Antonioli <antonio@ifi.unizh.ch>
        Added the "-tn" option and corresponding Xresource variable "termcap".
        This option specifies the name of the terminal type to be set in the
        TERM environment variable. 

2.20 to 2.21a*
\-------------
     1. Oops, forgot to include time headers in menubar.c

     2. Finally got the correct DEC sequence to toggling the behaviour
        of the backspace key and removed the other non-standard ones.
        If anyone has a listing of DEC escape sequences they'd like to
        donate ...

     3. Fixed a bug that prevented an XPM file from being found if it
        were specified with an absolute path and a geometry string.
        Made the default scaling zero (tiled) since this is by far the
        most popular use.

     4. The Motif-style scrollbar is back as a compile-time option.

     5. Added BUGS file and (thankfully) moved coordination of the
        project to Oezguer Kesim <kesim@math.fu-berlin.de> who also
        has a mailing list for rxvt development

        Rxvt Workers <rxvt-workers@math.fu-berlin.de>

        To subscribe to the list send email to
        <rxvt@math.fu-berlin.de> with the body: subscribe

     6. Semi-retirement and finish my thesis ... bye for now - /mark

   --- Oezguer started working on rxvt

     7. Fixed a bug in the new menubar-feature. There were several unchecked
        strings strcpy'ed which caused rxvt immediately to dump core.

     8. From: Robert Bihlmeyer <robbe@orcus.priv.at>
        Fixed a bug in rclock.c which prevented it to compile correctly.

     9. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        Overstrike boldfonts and pixmaps now work together without pixel
        droppings on the screen (at least under Linux).

    10. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        Modified autoconf support: memmove() replacement function
        supplied for those systems that need it, libXpm should now be
        correctly found (set in src/Makefile *not* in config.h)

    11. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        Converted doc/rxvt.ref to HTML format.
                doc/html/refer.html = master copy
                doc/refer.txt  = text version saved using Netscape.

        All HTML documents are put in here, to ease installation
        elsewhere.

    12. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        Moved some file search function from main.c and some string
        functions from xdefaults.c to misc.c.

        Changed the implementation details so that `keysym' resource
        is also available as a command-line long option ... even if
        you have compiled with USE_XGETDEFAULT.

    13. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        When a new pixmap is loaded, revert to the default scaling.

    14. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
        Reworked the menubar to permit multiple menubars in a circular
        linked list (and all the management functions that entains)
        and new functions including the following:

                * reading from files
                * dumping all the menubars
                * clearing a menu (without removing it)
                * setting a backgroudPixmap
                * and many other features.

        The menu syntax has changed very slightly from the last
        version, but now provides greater flexibility ... see
        refer.html for details.

        Added the `menu' resource/long-option so a startup menu
        can be specified. eg,
                rxvt -menu my.menu -e rlogin machine -l user

2.19 to 2.20
\-----------
     1. You can now add snazzy looking menus to any plain (non-X) text
        application.  At the moment, the menuing system is simple but
        functional.

        The syntax for controlling the menubar is documented in
        doc/rxvt.doc, but note that an XTerm sequence `ESC ] 10; Pt
        BEL' is used so menus created for rxvt will be ignored by an
        ordinary XTerm.

        It provides sub-menus, click-and-drag, and even some user
        definable `quick' arrows keys.  However menu manipulation
        could use refinement to permit multiple menus to be defined --
        and the menu refreshing could also use some improvement, but
        it can be extended and refined later as required/desired.

        The files doc/menu.sh and doc/jedmenu.sl show sample
        implementations of menus.

          -->   It compiles and runs on my machine (AIX 3.2.5)
                but THIS IS CONSIDERED BETA (or even ALPHA) CODE!

     2. DEC private modes: Bug fix for 's'ave and 'r'estore parameters,
        added a 't'oggle parameter to DEC private modes.

     3. Made Backspace key selectable with DEC private mode
        ESC [ ? 36 h/l/s/r/t (high/low/save/restore/toggle)

     4. Changed the way the scrollBar is realized to permit on-the-fly
        toggling of the scrollBar display and added a DEC private mode
        escape sequence for that.  Smoother redraw of scrollBar.
        Better proportions for the arrows allows a slightly narrower
        scrollBar.

     5. Added support for XTerm font changing sequence:
        `ESC ] 50; Pt BEL', with (as usual) a few extras.
        See doc/rxvt.ref

     6. Adapted experimental XPM buffering from that supplied by
        Carsten Haitzler <raster@zip.com.au>.

     7. Replaced `wait' with `waitpid' in src/command.c::Child_signal
        to avoid a race condition and permit use of pclose() on SunOS.
        Patch provided by <davis@space.mit.edu>, Thanks John!

     8. For easier XPM handling, added `path' resource/long-option and
        substantially enhanced pixmap scaling to provide very exact
        control over scaling and positioning of the XPM background
        image.  The XPM XTerm escape sequence has been extended to
        provide a convenient facility for on-the-fly rescaling.
        Export COLORTERM="rxvt-xpm" instead of COLORTERM="rxvt"

     9. Added export COLORFGBG to give hints to color applications.
        Typically one of these values is exported, in which `fg' and
        `bg' are numbers 00-15:

        COLORFGBG="default;default"
                -fg -bg colors don't match any of color 0-15

        COLORFGBG="fg;default"
                -fg color matches color 0-15, but -bg color doesn't

        COLORFGBG="default;bg"
                -bg color matches color 0-15, but -fg color doesn't

        COLORFGBG="fg;bg"
                -fg -bg colors match color 0-15

        When compiled with XPM support, the last two values are
        rendered as follows:

        COLORFGBG="default;default;bg"
                -bg color matches color 0-15, but -fg color doesn't

        COLORFGBG="fg;default;bg"
                -fg -bg colors match color 0-15

    10. Disable Shift+Prior/Next and scrollBar if saveLines == 0.
        Slight change to key-processing so `shift+meta+key' and
        `shift+ctrl+key' gets processed as `shift+key'.  This provides
        a way to avoid interpretating `Shift+Prior', `Shift+Next', and
        `Shift+Insert'.

        Also, added DEC private mode sequence `ESC [ ? 35 h/l/s/r/t'
        to disable Shift+key interpretation.

        Provide for Ctrl+Shift+<KEY> combinations for function keys.
        See doc/rxvt.ref

    11. Always match long-option names, even when only preceded by a
        single -/+.

2.18 to 2.19
\-----------
     1. Minor alteration to input mode for Kanji processing.

     2. rclock: -adjust option, support for exec on startup syntax,
        date format may now also include the century

     3. Made mouse double-click respect autowrap lines.

     4. Added marks for folded editing.

     5. Added Offix DND (Drag 'n' Drop) protocol.
        Added support for XA_TARGETS.

     6. added Carsten Haitzler <raster@zip.com.au> XPM patches to load
        an XPM file for the background of the terminal window.
        Uses resource `Rxvt.backgroundPixmap' or long-option
        `--backgroundPixmap'

     7. Use these (XTerm) keybindings exclusively and remove the old
        equivalent bindings:
                Shift-Prior  = scroll up
                Shift-Next   = scroll down
                Shift-Insert = paste mouse selection

                Shift-KP_Add      = bigger font
                Shift-KP_Subtract = smaller font

2.17 to 2.18
\-----------
     1. Check for NULL pointers in command-line processing (oops)
        Also fixed processing of `hidden' arguments such as -d, -g, -T

     2. Fixed terminfo hpa/vpa: was `\E..' instead of `\E[..'
        added invisible cursor (ESC[?25h / ESC[?25l)

     3. Fixed broken kanji characters (?? and disappeared cursor box ??)
        thanks to <manabe@Roy.dsl.tutics.tut.ac.jp>

     4. In privileges(), changed setuid/setgid to seteuid/seteguid so that
        it's possible to switch back to root later.

        Perhaps fixed svr4 problems (reports no tty, no job control) in
        get_tty() ... need to detect these SVR4 features in the configure
        script.

     5. Restored scrollColor, topShadowColor, bottomShadowColor resources
        that somehow got lost between the beta and release versions.  For
        monochrome displays, fixed scrollbar so it will be visible and
        suppress color changes.

     6. Final? iteration on selection.  Store selection text with LF
        line-endings but paste into rxvt with CR endings.  Selection now
        preserves the newline when trailing space is stripped from
        non-autowrap lines.  Compile-time support for using a keystroke to
        paste from the cut-buffer.

     7. Fixed utmp.c to handle both sysv and bsd pty names.  More changes in
        the works to improve documentation and eliminate race conditions ...
        this, thankfully, is being done by someone else.

     8. Added European language support (X11R6) - let me know of problems
        and fixes since I only have X11R5.

     9. Changed names of color10-color17 to color8-color15 to match with
        those used by color_xterm ... sorry for the inconvenience, but I
        didn't have an X11R6 xterm manpage until now and long-term
        compatibility is quite important.

        Added a real bold font (define USE_BOLDFONT).  I still think it's
        too much work to avoid pixel droppings for overstrike fonts.
        Added support for specifying colors for bold/underline
        (colorBD/colorUL) but it's only done when the foreground = the default
        foreground ... see the manpage.

        Compile-time selection of TERM="xterm-color".

        Reduced the number of rarely-used command-line options since they
        are accessible on the command-line via their resource names as long
        options.  More rigid differentiation between long and short options:
        long options are --/++ prefixed; short options -/+ prefixed.  Added
        long-option help to give the resource names.
        Removed run-time selection of right-hand scrollbar and arrows.
        Removed run-time selection of (pageup_key/pagedown_key/alert_key).

    10. Changed Ctrl-Up,Down,Left,Right to emit "\EOa,b,c,d" instead of the
        previous "\E[^A,^B,^C,^D" to avoid problems associated with having
        an embedded "^C" in a key-sequence.  Disallow 80/132 column
        switching as the default (same as xterm).

    11. Check for seteuid().  Add "ttcompat" module for SVR4.

    12. A few people suggested removing the keystroke for toggling MapAlert
        and so I have.  I agree that it was pointless and/or annoying since
        there was no way of determining the current toggled state anyhow.

    13. Fixed missing `ttydev' for _sgi.  Fixes for BSD utmp support.
        Exported WINDOWID before the window was created (oops).

    14. Mouse cut&paste of autowrapped lines should be improved, fixed
        bug in screen.c::scroll_text().

    15. As was pointed by a user -->> in keeping with X conventions, only an
        application that starts with 'x' should capitalize the first two
        letters of the resource file, so the rxvt resource file (and class
        name) should be named Rxvt not RXvt, this is a minor point.

    16. rclock: As well as message reminders, rclock can launch programs and
        (if no message text is given) act as a cron-type of program.  Made
        default font `7x14'.  Fixed graphics context when mail is waiting
        and a reminder is issued - so the message is actually visible!

    17. As suggested by a user, changed the bolding algorithm to be slightly
        more intuitive:
                1. colorBD (if specified)
                2. color0-7 -> color8-15 (if possible)
                3. boldFont (if specified and found)
                4. overstrike (last resort)

        This takes advantage of the color capability and is the most
        consistent when toggling font sizes on-the-fly.  If you never want
        overstrike (looks ugly and leaves pixel droppings) or boldFont (you
        like to switch font sizes on-the-fly), you can remove them at
        compile-time.  The other elements are similarly compile-time
        selectable.

    18. Another user suggestion: scrollbar made more distinct by having the
        `trough' a different color from the slider -- I opted for making it
        the same as the default background color so that the slider and
        arrows appear to `float' on the window.  Also removed topShadowColor,
        bottomShadowColor resources as unnecessary.

    19. Dropped distribution of vttest since Tom Dickey <dickey@clark.net>
        is working on an improved version.

2.16 to 2.17
\-----------
     1. Fixed problem in scr_refesh_region() that was introduced in v2.16
        The problem of `pixel droppings' continues when bold is simulated
        using overstrike.  Using XCopyArea() sometimes helps, but the
        preferred and simplest solution is item 4 below.

    2.  Removed 7bit mode.

        Changed definition of meta so that the ESCAPE is the default and
        using meta to set the 8bit on an option that can be made run-time
        configurable (assuming people still use this).

        Added -/+rv command-line option, resource reverseVideo.  NB: it works
        slightly differently from xterm's in that foreground/background are
        swapped even if they have been explicitly set.

        Removed NO_COLOR option -- no more monochrome rxvt (one too #ifdef's).

        Inherit existing stty settings (at least for control characters)
        and set value of BackSpace appropriately.

        Added defines DONT_GUESS_BACKSPACE and NO_DELETE_KEY

    3.  Added 3D style scrollbar and removed all the old bitmapped
        scrollbars and arrows with the only exception being the xterm
        lookalike XTERM_SCROLLBAR which is available in a single width.
        With arrows, scrollbar behaviour somewhat resembles Motif
        behaviour.  Without arrows, it's the standard xterm behaviour.

        The default scrollbar (defined at compile-time or set by using
        scrollBar: True) is to have a scrollbar with arrows arranged on the
        right-hand side. The scrollBar resource is now exclusively a boolean
        value

        scrollbar resources:

                scrollColor
                topShadowColor
                bottomShadowColor

        NB: if topShadowColor/bottomShadowColor are unset, their values are
            calculated from scrollColor using an algorithm adapted from
            fvwm so it shouldn't be too hard to find scrollbar colours that
            look good with your window manager and don't consume an entire
            colormap.

    4.  Added smarter handling of bold/blink when applied to the default
        fg/bg colours:

        If the pixel value of fg/bg matches the pixel value of colour COLOR0
        through COLOR7, then applying bold/blink to the default fg/bg will
        select the appropriate colour from BOLD0 through BOLD7 instead of
        using the overstrike bold.

        This seems to be the best way to handle bold/blink attributes when
        the foreground/background match and ANSI colour anyhow.  For
        convenience, it is possible to use colour aliases (next item) for
        the foreground/background colours instead.

        My preference is a dull Canadian look:

                RXvt*foreground:        7
                RXvt*background:        10

    5.  Changed colour aliases (item 7 of last change) and dropped the `#'
        prefix.  This avoids confusion with the regular #rrggbb format of
        specifying colours and is unambiguous since there are no X11 colours
        starting with a digit.  This also avoids the need to quote the `#'
        to protect against shell interpretation.

    6.  Added colour cursor support.
            -cr (cursorColor), as per XTerm -> the (rectangle) cursor colour
            -cr2 (cursorColor2), only RXvt -> the text colour.

        The cursorColor2 maintains contrast in a colour environment and
        is optional.

        Thanks Raul Garcia Garcia <rgg@tid.es> for the idea.
        Cleaned up scr_refresh (again <sigh>) to avoid some unnecessary
        colour changes and removed the reverse video graphics context and
        just swap foreground/background colours instead.

    7.  Typo in command.c: had seteuid() instead of seteguid() <sigh>
        Use cfsetospeed()/cfsetispeed() for POSIX termios handling.

    8.  Ignore the loginShell option/resource for programs that DON'T end
        with "sh".  A hack but it keeps `rxvt -ls -e rlogin machine' from
        failing and I don't know of (m)any shells that don't end in "sh".

    9.  Hard-code dependencies in Makefiles to avoid using X11 makedepend.
        Added check for atexit() to catch the problem that exists on SunOS
        but not on Solaris.

   10.  Collected command-line option parsing and X11 resources into a
        single file (xdefaults.c), and introduced a monolithic structure
        (with bit-flags for logical options) to eliminate the massive
        if-else-if parsing and to reduce possible overlaps/oversights

        Short help provided for an incorrect argument.

        For more consistency, more flexibility, and fewer switches,
        made -grk4/-grk9 options obsolete, and replaced with `-grk mode'.
        Added the resource `greek_keyboard' while I was there.

        It is also possible to use a `--' or `++' prefix to get so-called
        `long options' that correspond to the resource name.
        For example,

                rxvt +ls -bg Blue
                rxvt +loginShell -background Blue
                rxvt ++loginShell --background Blue

                rxvt ++ls --bg Blue             Error!

   11.  Changed REFRESH_PERIOD to 1 in command.c, the old idea of providing
        for fast and furious scrolling needs to be reconsidered so that `cat'
        works.  Still needs some investigation.

   12.  Changed scr_poweron(), which corresponds to `ESC c', to also reset
        the scrollback buffer.

   13.  Changed scr_change_screen() (when compiled with NO_SECONDARY_SCREEN)
        so that switching from the secondary to primary screen will push the
        old secondary screen into the scrollback buffer.  This is fairly
        useful if your terminfo has have rmcup=\E[?47l\E8, smcup=\E7\E[?47h.
        It is NOT particularly useful if rmcup includes \E[2J, like some do.

        Running with NO_SECONDARY_SCREEN provides faster switching than
        with a real secondary screen and saves memory too.

   14.  Now that key values have mostly stabilized, moved the compile-time
        key choices to "feature.h" ("keys.h" now obsolete).

2.15 to 2.16
\-----------
    1.  Misc cleanup, rxvt once again passes the vttest (and reverse video
        works again).  Kanji support tested and seems to be okay.  Finally,
        an okay set of regular/bold colours.  Compile-time option for a
        right-side scrollbar.

    2.  Ctrl-minus now (correctly) generates ^_ [0x1F].
        Changed termcap/terminfo to use normal cursor keys instead of
        application cursor keys (rmkx/smkx, ke/ks) -- otherwise subsequent
        rxvt/xterm starts with the application cursor keys active.

    3.  Fixed scr_reset() so that resizing is a lot more sensible.
        Implemented the equivalent SouthWest resizeGravity (xterm X11R5) so
        the bottom line of text on the screen stays fixed.  If the window is
        made taller, additional saved lines will be scrolled down onto the
        screen; if the window is made shorter, lines will be scrolled off
        the top of the screen, and the top saved lines will be dropped. The
        old resizing code is available with -DOLD_UGLY_RESIZE.

    4.  Altered code so all man-page documented command-line options will
        not trigger errors even if the feature wasn't compiled into rxvt.
        Added old, backward compatibility command-line options, but they're
        simply ignored. Eventually they can be removed -- perhaps Jan'97?

                `-8':           use `+7'
                `-fat':         use `-sb'
                `-thin':        use `-arrows'
                `-meta8thbit'   use `-meta8'
                `-metaescape'   use `-meta'
                `-font_list'    use `-font1', `-font2', etc.

        These ones are just too weird to support:

                `-ls-':         use `+ls'
                `-ma-':         use `+ma'

    5.  Removed secure-keyboard option, too problematic and obscure.

    6.  First attempt at GNU autoconfig.
        Still needs some work, but it's mostly okay.

    7.  Added minor aliases for foreground/background colours.  This permits
        colour specifications like -fg "#13" -bg "#10", which would set the
        foreground to colour 13 (bright yellow) and the background to colour
        10 (bright black).  It's not terribly useful yet, but might
        eventually be a nice way to have bold/blink colour work even on with
        the standard fg/bg colours.

2.14 to 2.15
\-----------
    1.  Small bug: initial width incorrect when there was no scrollBar.

    2.  Close the gaping security hole.  Renounce setuid/setgid privileges
        immediately and only take them up as needed -- chown() or writing
        into /etc/utmp.

    3.  Reverted to using `<' and '>' to toggle smaller/bigger fonts. It
        seems that many didn't like KP_Subtract/XK_KP_Add -- conflicts with
        some editors, and not all terminals have a Keypad anyhow.

    4.  Man page reformatted by Piercarlo Grandi <piercarl@sabi.demon.co.uk>
        so that it "now is done in the most delightful [sic] elegant 'roff
        style :-)"

    5.  Started to integrate the Kanji support based on old patches from the
        Linux-JE (Japanese Extensions) project.  Consider it alpha until one
        of the JE authors gives it a thorough check.

    6.  Added compile-time selection of a few different scrollbar widths.

    7.  When reading X resources, rxvt now recognizes two class names:
        "XTerm" and "RXvt".  The reason for two distinct names is that there
        are many options common between rxvt and xterm -- to which the class
        name "XTerm" permits easy access and configuration -- but there are
        also several options, notably colours and key-handling, unique to
        rxvt but which are useful to share between different rxvt
        configurations; the class name "RXvt" permits this.

        NB: The "RXvt" class takes precedence (in the event of a clash) and
            is the only one ever used for the application defaults file.

    8.  The initial value used for the Backspace key (^H or ^?) is now
        determined from the value of CERASE used to set the termios
        structures.  This removes the need for the BACKSPACE_AS_DELETE
        compile-time option.

2.13 to 2.14
\-----------
    1.  Default HOTKEY prefix can now be choosen as `meta', `ctrl' or
        `shift'. Moved font toggle to KP_Add/KP_Subtract to resemble
        resolution toggling of the XFree86 server (Linux) and so that Alt-<
        can generate ESC-< for Emacs usage.  Man page and usage() reflect
        the changes. Note that if you choose the hotkey to be `shift', to
        mimic the Linux console scrollback, you'll probably want different
        keybindings for mapAlert and Secure.

        The choice of the HOTKEY (ctrl or meta) prefix and some of the
        key-strings can be compile-time defined in "rxvtkeys.h", although
        probably the only changes desired will be in the string value
        associated with XK_Delete and in the choice of a HOTKEY (ctrl or
        meta) prefix.

        Use shift or ctrl to temporarily toggle Backspace from ^H to ^?.
        Use shift to temporarily toggle the application keypad.

    2.  Patch so that setting bold or blink works before or after changing
        the colour (it used to only work before changing the colour). Also
        added the option of having DOS VGA colours.
        Thanks Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>

    3.  Extensive reworking of pseudo-tty handling and addition of BSD sgtty
        terminal handling and new utmpx (Solaris 2.x) support. MANY thanks
        to Raul Garcia Garcia (rgg@tid.es).

        POSIX wtmp support added by Piet W. Plomp (piet@icce.rug.nl)

        Added -/+ut option (resource: utmpInhibit) so you can sometimes be
        harder to find :)

    4.  Finally? cleaned-up selection so that it works properly -- clears a
        previously selected region without causing a core dump -- define
        NEW_SELECTION.

        I believe that this should fix a long-standing problem with the
        selection mechanism -- probably back from when selection of the
        scrollback was added -- whereby all accounting was done in terms of
        screen row values [0 .. RxvtWin.rows-1] plus the current offset
        value.  The anchor and end points were scrolled with the screen, but
        the beginning point wasn't and extending a region that had its
        anchor scrolled-off would give complete garbage.  The new selection
        scheme has lots of bounds-checking (too much?) to prevent these
        problems.  If PRINT_PIPE is not defined, then you can use
        PrintScreen to dump some of the current selection state -- this
        should help debugging.

        Thanks to John Davis (davis@space.mit.edu) and Piet W. Plomp
        (piet@icce.rug.nl) for helping to diagnose the problem.

    5.  Use information request `ESC [ 8 n' to change the window title
        to the current rxvt version so you can find out what version you
        have.

    6.  Added simple code to permit run-time definition of the keysyms
        0xFF00 - 0xFFFF if KEYSYM_RESOURCE (for FAKE_RESOURCES only) is
        defined.  It's not as pretty as that used by xterm since it only
        works with keysym values rather that key names, but the impact on
        code size is quite minimal.  I use it in conjunction with `-name vm'
        to remap arrow and function keys for tn3270 ... quite handy.
        At the moment the string length is only limited by the line length
        (currently 256) used in "resources.c"

        The syntax (at the moment) is

                rxvt*keysym.0xFFnn:     "a string value"

        where `nn' is a 2 digit hex value 00 to FF.  Of course if there were
        an easy and small means of converting key names to keysym values,
        then that would be better.

        The enclosing quotes are required to start/end with whitespace.
        Most of the usual escape values can be used:

                \b - backspace
                \e - escape
                \n - newline
                \r - carriage return
                \t - tab
                \000 - octal number

        Anyhow, here's a brief example of what it looks like
        in ~/.Xdefaults:

        ! F11 key - mimic the output of F1
        rxvt*keysym.0xFFC8: \e[11~

        ! F12 key - whatever
        rxvt*keysym.0xFFC9: Hello World!\n"\"String\" ends with whitespace  "

        ! Delete key - remap
        rxvt*keysym.0xFFFF: "Delete :)"

        !Scroll_Lock as flow-control (^S)
        rxvt*keysym.0xFF14: \023

    7.  Oops -- fixed resource name from scrollbar to scrollBar. Fixed
        cursor colours to black on white (like xterm) for the scrollbar
        cursors, but I've left the xterm (`I'-bar) cursor as foreground on
        background because it looks so nice.  Allocate all colours when
        creating the window so that we don't have to worry about it later
        and so that we can avoid potential hassles with colour-hungry
        applications like Netscape.

    8.  Added a way to distinguish an rxvt from an xterm via the obsolete
        ESC Z sending the vt100 answer string with 'c' -> 'C'.

        Added support for resolving the actual IP number of the host for
        remote DISPLAYs.  Changed the answer back for ESC[7n to add a
        trailing newline to support easier input into the shell.  When the
        display is local (i.e. :0), we add support for sending the first
        non-loopback interface IP number as the DISPLAY instead of just
        sending the incorrect ":0".  This way telnet/rlogin shells can
        actually get the correct information into DISPLAY for xclients.

2.12 to 2.13
\-----------
    1.  Shift and Control now only work for non-application mode cursor
        keys and with function keys.

    2.  Override XTerm mouse reporting with either Mod1 or Shift.  X11
        mouse reporting now properly includes modifier keys (see rxvt.ref).
        Although this effectively degenerates to the Control modifier alone
        since both Shift and Meta are used to temporarily disable mouse
        reporting -- I don't know an easy way around this but that's what
        XTerm does, although since it uses Control to pop-up menus, that
        doesn't get transmitted either.

    3.  Moved a few more configuration items from Imakefile to configure.h

    4.  Added XAPPLOADDIR define to the Imakefile to allow use of the
        application defaults file XAPPLOADDIR/RXvt when rxvt has been
        compiled with FAKE_RESOURCES.  Now, the following files are
        checked:
                XAPPLOADDIR/RXvt        (compile-time defined)
                $HOME/.Xdefaults or $HOME/.Xresources
        suggested by John Gotts <jgotts@engin.umich.edu>

    5.  Applied patches by Edward D.H. Liu <dhliu@solar.csie.ntu.edu.tw>
        to fix the speed of pasting rxvt's selection to motif, xew or tk.
        Finally! reasonable pasting speed to these applications.

    6.  patches by Gregory Margo <gmargo@newton.vip.best.com>
        for xterm-style proportional scrollbar behaviour:
                If pointer is near top, scroll one line.
                If pointer is near bottom, scroll full page.
        refreshPeriod resource and -refresh option ... still wishing
        for faster screen refreshing.

    7.  Bug fix for partial matches (FAKE_RESOURCES).  In addition to
        resources for resource name `rxvt', also get resources for class
        name `XTerm' as well.  Remove checking for `command' resource since
        it's not found in xterm nor was there any code in place to parse the
        command arguments ... better just to use the command-line -e option.
        Replace `fontList' with font1, font2, ... etc. for better xterm
        compatibility and for ease of configuration.  Changed processing of
        string resources and command-line string options to avoid allocating
        redundant memory.

    8.  Previously selected region is now properly cleared when Button1 is
        pressed.  Still have problems with click-and-drag when Mod1 or Shift
        is used to override mouse reporting -- argh!  Until someone gets
        this properly patched, use Button1 followed by Button3 (to extend
        region) in these instances.

    9.  Understands ANSI set default fg/bg colour (\E[39m / \E[49m)

   10.  In the screen accounting used in screen.c, use a '\n' to terminate
        wrapped lines instead of '\0'.  This should avoid mouse selection of
        wrapped lines from including a bogus newline.  No known
        side-effects, but changes isolated by #define NEW_WRAPTYPE.

2.11 to 2.12
\-----------
    1.  Extra functionality for XTerm mouse report mode.  If mouse reporting
        is enabled (the application will handle mouse events) the normal
        scrollbar operation is disabled -- instead rxvt sends UP/DOWN for
        the arrow buttons and PageUp/PageDown when Button1 or Button3 are
        clicked on the scrollbar.  Use Mod1 (Alt) key to get the normal
        scrollbar/arrow button actions and also to get the normal selection
        functions -- so that you can still cut/paste between X applications.

    2.  New colour possibilities -- 16 colours.  Instead of using fatter
        characters, a bold attribute now uses a brighter foreground colour.
        Similarly, a blink attribute will use a brighter background colour.
        It is also possible to choose these colours through the resources
        (color0 -- color7) permit specification of the ANSI colours (black,
        red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white), the resources
        (color10 -- color17) are the brighter bold/blink equivalents.
        Define USE_FAKE_BOLD to disable.

    3.  Extensive clean-up of source and headers to separate
        interdependencies, remove unused variables.  Introduced static
        variables wherever possible to limit scoping and reduced the number
        of external variables.

    4.  Allow NumLock to toggle on/off the application keypad.

        Backspace sends '\b', Ctrl-Backspace sends '\177'.
        Define BACKSPACE_AS_DELETE to reverse these values or use the
        escape sequence:

                ESC [ 36 h              Backspace key sends BS
                ESC [ 36 l              Backspace key sends DEL

        XK_End used to send "\033Ow", which is identical to XK_KP_7 and
        confuses EDT-type editors. Now,
        Home = "\033[7~"
        End  = "\033[8~"

        Changed Alert & Secure keys from Alt-i & Alt-s to Alt-I & Alt-S so
        they aren't so easily toggled.

    5.  Extra keystroke info.  Pass Control and Shift indicators for
        function keys (similar to the XJed editor)
        eg,
                F1      = ESC [11~
                C-F1    = ESC [11^
                S-F1    = ESC [11$

        also, pass indication of shift status for arrow-keys
        eg,
                Up, Down, Right, Left
                  = ESC [A, ESC [B, ESC [C, ESC [D
                S-Up, S-Down, S-Right, S-Left
                  = ESC [a, ESC [b, ESC [c, ESC [d

        You wouldn't be able to use these keys for termcap/terminfo
        applications, but the key sequences are available for remapping
        within an application.

    6.  Added configure.h which is included by each source file and by the
        Imakefile.  Common compilation defines are now all contained in
        configure.h with minor system defines remaining in Imakefile --
        makes it much easier to configure.  Used XCOMM macro in Imakefile so
        that it actually works.  Also added defaults.h for defining
        user-specific startup defaults.

    7.  Added rxvt.ref to provide documentation of the various terminal
        sequences that are processed.  Updated man page to reflect changes.

    8.  Use xterm-style -/+ to turn on/off options, rationalized resource
        names to more closely resemble xterm.

                Option                  Resource

    9.  Fixed Button actions for XTerm-style scrollbar so that Button1 and
        Button3 do different things as they are supposed to.  Replace -/+fat
        with -/+sb and -/+arrows for more consistency with XTerm. Decreased
        width of `fat' scrollbar (make closer to xterm) and increased width
        of `thin' scrollbar (arrows too small) -- they are now the same
        width.  Also made it possible to remove the scrollbar altogether.
        Added a visual bell.

        Added many more defines to further reduce code size for various
        cases, see "configure.h".  It is also possible to alter settings in
        "defaults.h" for configuration options that will only affect
        screen.c and xsetup.c, this should help with compile-time
        customization for those who don't want to use Xdefaults.

        Added the define REPLACE_SELECTION_NEWLINE to make the substitution
        of newlines with carriage returns for selection pasting a
        compile-time option.

   10.  Fixed the graphics samples so that if you want to it's actually
        possible to compile them.  Added -name command-line option so that
        it's possible to select different sets of resources.

   11.  Integrated initial support for X11 mouse reporting and added
        Shift + Function Keys support.

2.10 to 2.11
    1.  If NEW_COLOR_MODEL is defined in screen.c, the new model I described
        in an earlier email is used. (apparantly there are two, slightly
        differnt models for using color extensions in a vt-compatible
        terminal. This flag lets you switch.

    2.  If XTERM_MOUSE_REPORT is defined in command.c, mouse reporting is
        turned on/off via the appropriate escape sequences.  XTerm already
        provides this support.

    3.  If .Xdefaults does not exist, .Xresources is searched for.  It seems
        that many here use .Xresources.

2.09 to 2.10
    1.  Really fixed the color problem (?) Got color-ls, and it works now.
    2.  Added patch to allow run-time selection of font list.

2.07 to 2.09
    1.  Fixed some color-usage errors.
    2.  Added double and triple-click support
        compliments of ah@doc.ic.ac.uk (Angelo Haritsis)
    3.  Added Print Screen capability, as in most vt-100's
2.06 to 2.07
    1.  Fixed problems with rxvt screwing up tty permisssions (?)
2.03 to 2.06
    1.  Fixed a limit which imposed a maximum width for the
        terminal window of 255 characters. There is no limit now.
    2.  Made provision for applications to get mouse-click feedback
        when user clicks in a graphics window. See graphics_sample
2.02 to 2.03
    1.  Fixed memory management just a little.

2.0 to 2.02
    1.  Bug fixes for color and graphics.

1.97 to 2.0
    1.  Added ANSI color support. Compile with -DCOLOR
    2.  Added a graphics mode. Compile with -DGRAPHICS
1.96 to 1.97
    1.  Bug in refresh() which was causing slow refreshes after
        clear-screens was fixed. Showed up during emacs start-up.

1.95 to 1.96
    1.  rxvt did bad things if it received mouse - Motion events
        without a preceeding button-press. Fixed.
1.94 to 1.95
    1.  Created a substitute for XGetDefaults, which seemed to account for
        1/2 to 2/3 of the memory used by rxvt (according to the SIZE field
        of ps output). My substitute only reads the .Xdefaults file. Compile
        with -DFAKE_RESOURCES to get my mini- XDefaults handling,
        -DREAL_RESOURCES to keep XGetDefault.

1.93 to 1.94
    1.  Fixed some minor long-standing errors in the vt100 emulation.
    2.  Fixed ALT-<char> handling in command.c
    3.  Fixed minor bug with start-of-selection location.
    4.  Added xterm-type "extend selection" feature using
        mouse button 3. Button 1 always starts a new selection. Button3
        tries to extend the current selection if possible.
    5.  Fixed problem with bold-face fonts overflowing into
        the next character for some fonts.

1.92 to 1.93
    1.  ran gprof to find bottle-necks in the code. Halved user
        time, but had little effect on total time required to
        update the display. Seems worth keeping for the more efficient
        user-time, though. At this point, I think that most of the elapsed
        time is spent waiting for input or waiting for the X buffers
        to flush.
    2.  Used to refresh the screen every 2.2 screen-fulls during
        flat-out scrolling. Really cuts down on scroll-time. Now,
        refresh every screen-full (or when there's a pause in activity),
        but when flat-out scrolling starts, decrease the refresh period,
        so that its every 10th screenful after a little while. This has
        no noticeable visible effect, since the scrolling text is
        absolutely unintelligible anyway, but will improve the scroll
        "feel" when doing just one or two screenfulls, ie in an ls -l.
    3.  Surrounded  the code which uses XCopyArea with #ifdef's
        I have never seen this help performance, but I think that there
        may be some video-systems which benefit from this, particularly
        in a full-screen editor or slow scrolling type of setting.
    4.  Performance in flat out scrolling, text only, on a sparc-10,
        displaying rxvt on an HDS x-terminal:
          nation@snoopy>/usr/bin/time rxvt -e cat k
                6.1 real         3.1 user         2.5 sys
          nation@snoopy>/usr/bin/time xterm -e cat k
                40.8 real         4.6 user         3.4 sys

1.91 to 1.92
    1.  Added greek-keyboard support patches.
1.85 to 1.91
    1.  assorted minor patches
1.82 to 1.85
    1.  Fixed ESC c handling.
    2.  Fixed minor selection handling bug.

1.81 to 1.82
    1.  Fixed slow refresh during selection process
    2.  Fixed problem of not correctly clearing selections of 1 character.

1.80 to 1.81
    1.  Fixed some scrolling problems, problems with partially obscured
        windows.
    2.  Added some neat debugging capability in debug.c
    3.  Patched up rclock.

1.74 to 1.80
    1.  Fixed core dump from selecting past the bottom of the screen
    2.  Fixed a few escape sequences, per the vttest program
    3.  Broke and fixed handling of moved/resize/new-font handling.
    4.  Still can't change tab stops correctly.
    5.  Ran vt-100 test suite. Added capability to change tab stops
        and enter reverse video, and to switch from 80 to 132
        columns and back. Fixed a seg-fault in scroll().

1.70 to 1.74
    1.  Fixed cursor drawing errors.
    2.  Improved smoothness of scroll-back operations.
    3.  Applied some SVR4 patches.
    4.  Applied HPUX patches, and a few cursor display patches
    5.  Fixed up font-changing routines a bit.
    6.  Fixed a scrolling problem for windows taller than the scroll-back
        buffer.

1.6 to 1.7
    1.  Fixed the problem with random rendition flags in the scroll
        back buffer
    2.  Fiddled with re-drawing on the scroll-bar, and with
        how often refreshing occurs.
    3.  Incorporated some AIX patches.
    4.  Included #ifdef'd changes to support vt100 printer.
    5.  Fixed send_string routine, so that it doesn't loose
        data.
    6.  Complete re-write of screen.c
1.5 to 1.6
    1.  Removed all use of a seperate bold font. Now uses
        over-striking exclusively.
    2.  Added some more optimizations for drawing speed when
        the window is re-sized or moved.
    3.  Implemented speed ups in screen.c

1.47 to 1.48
    1.  Cleaned up re-drawing on expose events, so rxvt only
        re-draws the newly exposed parts of the screen.
    2.  Fixed backspace, which must have broken in 1.45.
    3.  Added command line option of iconic startup.

from 1.45 to 1.47
    1.  Incorporated improved bsd utmp handling from
        dperry@ringer.cs.utsa.edu (David Perry)
    2.  Fixed a very minor bug where the solid-cursor can leave a
        a bit of a ghost when you resize the window. Its stupid,
        but it always bothered me.

from 1.4 to 1.45
    1.  Fixed scrolling error when switching to larger fonts
    2.  Fixed utmp-entry removal for SYSV type systems.
    3.  Icorportated patches for FreeBSD and svr4
