505 Geoff Wing <gcw@pobox.com>
506 fixed XPM handling of position in geometry
507 changed XPM tiling to have the X server tile in the basic case
508 moved several configuration options from feature.h to configure
509 fixed introduced pixel dropping bug when RS_DIRTY was removed
510 added `troughColor' resource - the original patch written by
511 Reid D Rivenburgh (noted below) was lost and never added
512 fixed border pixel colour - if not set, use foreground not background
513 fixed handling of cursorColor/cursorColor/colorBD/colorUL to always
514 use the _current_ fg/bg colours appropriately if unset
515 changed source code organisation - moved some things into screen.h -
516 to allow other add-ons to access screen structures without
517 including all of rxvt.h
518 changed internals - ripped out RS_Cursor/RS_Select to make basic
519 multichar sets (not Kanji/Big5) always enabled - thus handle
520 selection and cursor display differently
521 fixed bug on scroll lines affecting selection
522 changed rmemset to use a type which is the same size as an (int *) -
523 based on comments by Paul Slootman <paul@wurtel.demon.nl>
524 fixed pointer colour change on default fg colour change
525 changed handling of backspace/delete keys - if not disabled during
526 ./configure then settable via resources - defaults similar
527 to previous
528
529 2.4.6 to 2.4.7

579 scroll screen
580
581 Frank Chen Hsiung Chan <frankch@life.nthu.edu.tw>

605 changed copyrights of the modules
606 fixed the terminfo/termcap entries
607
608 Mark Olesen <olesen@me.queensu.ca>

610 of the Button character for X11 reporting so should cause no
611 compatibility problems.
612 * State = (<b> - SPACE) & 60
613 4 = Shift
614 8 = Meta
615 16 = Control
616 32 = Double Click (Rxvt extension)
617 NOTE: no Release is reported after a double-click and the
618 Release for the first click of a double-click is not reported.
619 This also means the Release event of a very fast click/release
620 won't be reported.
621
622 2.4.3 to 2.4.4

694 whole screen was broken
695
696 Oezguer Kesim <kesim@math.fu-berlin.de>
697 removed DONT_GUESS_BACKSPACE. Instead, you may define either

700 'erase'
701 fixed positioning of text in the top menubar.
702 fixed some missing #define's

750
751
752 2.21a3 to 2.21b*
753 \---------------
754 1. From: Conrad Link <conrad@akira.resnet.rochester.edu>
755 Fixed a bug in the OffiX Drag and Drop support.
756 rxvt inserted two instances of directories or links when they
757 were dropped onto rxvt.
758
759 2. From: <aner@zenith.att.com>
760 Fixed a bug that makes rxvt getting constantly "NoExpose" events
761 which it is not handling.
762
763 3. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
764 Fixed a bug that caused rxvt to hang indefinitly waiting for a
765 terminating ^G on an XTerm `ESC]' sequence.
766
767 4. From: Bernard PERROT <perrot@lal.in2p3.fr>
768 Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
769 Fixed a bug that prevented to handle DEC VT2xx's ApLineDel correctly
770
771 5. From: <vikas@insight.att.com>
772 Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
773 Now the Shift/Ctrl cursor key mappings are enabled regardless of
774 App-Cursor settings
775
776 6. From: Kai Petzke <wpp@mail.physik.TU-Berlin.DE>
777 Fixed a bug with respect to cursor movement. rxvt now handles the
778 'G' and 'd' sequences correctly
779
780 7. From: Geoff Wing <mason@primenet.com.au>
781 Fixed a couple of things in utmp.c
782
783 8. From: Denis N. Antonioli <antonio@ifi.unizh.ch>
784 Added the "-tn" option and corresponding Xresource variable "termcap".
785 This option specifies the name of the terminal type to be set in the
786 TERM environment variable.
787
788 2.20 to 2.21a*
789 \-------------
790 1. Oops, forgot to include time headers in menubar.c
791
792 2. Finally got the correct DEC sequence to toggling the behaviour
793 of the backspace key and removed the other non-standard ones.
794 If anyone has a listing of DEC escape sequences they'd like to
795 donate ...
796
797 3. Fixed a bug that prevented an XPM file from being found if it
798 were specified with an absolute path and a geometry string.
799 Made the default scaling zero (tiled) since this is by far the
800 most popular use.
801
802 4. The Motif-style scrollbar is back as a compile-time option.
803
804 5. Added BUGS file and (thankfully) moved coordination of the
805 project to Oezguer Kesim <kesim@math.fu-berlin.de> who also
806 has a mailing list for rxvt development
807
808 Rxvt Workers <rxvt-workers@math.fu-berlin.de>
809
810 To subscribe to the list send email to
811 <rxvt@math.fu-berlin.de> with the body: subscribe
812
813 6. Semi-retirement and finish my thesis ... bye for now - /mark
814
815 --- Oezguer started working on rxvt
816
817 7. Fixed a bug in the new menubar-feature. There were several unchecked
818 strings strcpy'ed which caused rxvt immediately to dump core.
819
820 8. From: Robert Bihlmeyer <robbe@orcus.priv.at>
821 Fixed a bug in rclock.c which prevented it to compile correctly.
822
823 9. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
824 Overstrike boldfonts and pixmaps now work together without pixel
825 droppings on the screen (at least under Linux).
826
827 10. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
828 Modified autoconf support: memmove() replacement function
829 supplied for those systems that need it, libXpm should now be
830 correctly found (set in src/Makefile *not* in config.h)
831
832 11. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
833 Converted doc/rxvt.ref to HTML format.
834 doc/html/refer.html = master copy
835 doc/refer.txt = text version saved using Netscape.
836
837 All HTML documents are put in here, to ease installation
838 elsewhere.
839
840 12. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
841 Moved some file search function from main.c and some string
842 functions from xdefaults.c to misc.c.
843
844 Changed the implementation details so that `keysym' resource
845 is also available as a command-line long option ... even if
846 you have compiled with USE_XGETDEFAULT.
847
848 13. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
849 When a new pixmap is loaded, revert to the default scaling.
850
851 14. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
852 Reworked the menubar to permit multiple menubars in a circular
853 linked list (and all the management functions that entains)
854 and new functions including the following:
855
856 * reading from files
857 * dumping all the menubars
858 * clearing a menu (without removing it)
859 * setting a backgroudPixmap
860 * and many other features.
861
862 The menu syntax has changed very slightly from the last
863 version, but now provides greater flexibility ... see
864 refer.html for details.
865
866 Added the `menu' resource/long-option so a startup menu
867 can be specified. eg,
868 rxvt -menu my.menu -e rlogin machine -l user
869
870 2.19 to 2.20
871 \-----------
872 1. You can now add snazzy looking menus to any plain (non-X) text
873 application. At the moment, the menuing system is simple but
874 functional.
875
876 The syntax for controlling the menubar is documented in
877 doc/rxvt.doc, but note that an XTerm sequence `ESC ] 10; Pt
878 BEL' is used so menus created for rxvt will be ignored by an
879 ordinary XTerm.
880
881 It provides sub-menus, click-and-drag, and even some user
882 definable `quick' arrows keys. However menu manipulation
883 could use refinement to permit multiple menus to be defined --
884 and the menu refreshing could also use some improvement, but
885 it can be extended and refined later as required/desired.
886
887 The files doc/menu.sh and doc/jedmenu.sl show sample
888 implementations of menus.
889
890 --> It compiles and runs on my machine (AIX 3.2.5)
891 but THIS IS CONSIDERED BETA (or even ALPHA) CODE!
892
893 2. DEC private modes: Bug fix for 's'ave and 'r'estore parameters,
894 added a 't'oggle parameter to DEC private modes.
895
896 3. Made Backspace key selectable with DEC private mode
897 ESC [ ? 36 h/l/s/r/t (high/low/save/restore/toggle)
898
899 4. Changed the way the scrollBar is realized to permit on-the-fly
900 toggling of the scrollBar display and added a DEC private mode
901 escape sequence for that. Smoother redraw of scrollBar.
902 Better proportions for the arrows allows a slightly narrower
903 scrollBar.
904
905 5. Added support for XTerm font changing sequence:
906 `ESC ] 50; Pt BEL', with (as usual) a few extras.
907 See doc/rxvt.ref
908
909 6. Adapted experimental XPM buffering from that supplied by
910 Carsten Haitzler <raster@zip.com.au>.
911
912 7. Replaced `wait' with `waitpid' in src/command.c::Child_signal
913 to avoid a race condition and permit use of pclose() on SunOS.
914 Patch provided by <davis@space.mit.edu>, Thanks John!
915
916 8. For easier XPM handling, added `path' resource/long-option and
917 substantially enhanced pixmap scaling to provide very exact
918 control over scaling and positioning of the XPM background
919 image. The XPM XTerm escape sequence has been extended to
920 provide a convenient facility for on-the-fly rescaling.
921 Export COLORTERM="rxvt-xpm" instead of COLORTERM="rxvt"
922
923 9. Added export COLORFGBG to give hints to color applications.
924 Typically one of these values is exported, in which `fg' and
925 `bg' are numbers 00-15:
926
927 COLORFGBG="default;default"
928 -fg -bg colors don't match any of color 0-15
929
930 COLORFGBG="fg;default"
931 -fg color matches color 0-15, but -bg color doesn't
932
933 COLORFGBG="default;bg"
934 -bg color matches color 0-15, but -fg color doesn't
935
936 COLORFGBG="fg;bg"
937 -fg -bg colors match color 0-15
938
939 When compiled with XPM support, the last two values are
940 rendered as follows:
941
942 COLORFGBG="default;default;bg"
943 -bg color matches color 0-15, but -fg color doesn't
944
945 COLORFGBG="fg;default;bg"
946 -fg -bg colors match color 0-15
947
948 10. Disable Shift+Prior/Next and scrollBar if saveLines == 0.
949 Slight change to key-processing so `shift+meta+key' and
950 `shift+ctrl+key' gets processed as `shift+key'. This provides
951 a way to avoid interpretating `Shift+Prior', `Shift+Next', and
952 `Shift+Insert'.
953
954 Also, added DEC private mode sequence `ESC [ ? 35 h/l/s/r/t'
955 to disable Shift+key interpretation.
956
957 Provide for Ctrl+Shift+<KEY> combinations for function keys.
958 See doc/rxvt.ref
959
960 11. Always match long-option names, even when only preceded by a
961 single -/+.
962
963 2.18 to 2.19
964 \-----------
965 1. Minor alteration to input mode for Kanji processing.
966
967 2. rclock: -adjust option, support for exec on startup syntax,
968 date format may now also include the century
969
970 3. Made mouse double-click respect autowrap lines.
971
972 4. Added marks for folded editing.
973
974 5. Added Offix DND (Drag 'n' Drop) protocol.
975 Added support for XA_TARGETS.
976
977 6. added Carsten Haitzler <raster@zip.com.au> XPM patches to load
978 an XPM file for the background of the terminal window.
979 Uses resource `Rxvt.backgroundPixmap' or long-option
980 `--backgroundPixmap'
981
982 7. Use these (XTerm) keybindings exclusively and remove the old
983 equivalent bindings:
984 Shift-Prior = scroll up
985 Shift-Next = scroll down
986 Shift-Insert = paste mouse selection
987
988 Shift-KP_Add = bigger font
989 Shift-KP_Subtract = smaller font
990
991 2.17 to 2.18
992 \-----------
993 1. Check for NULL pointers in command-line processing (oops)
994 Also fixed processing of `hidden' arguments such as -d, -g, -T
995
996 2. Fixed terminfo hpa/vpa: was `\E..' instead of `\E[..'
997 added invisible cursor (ESC[?25h / ESC[?25l)
998
999 3. Fixed broken kanji characters (?? and disappeared cursor box ??)
1000 thanks to <manabe@Roy.dsl.tutics.tut.ac.jp>
1001
1002 4. In privileges(), changed setuid/setgid to seteuid/seteguid so that
1003 it's possible to switch back to root later.
1004
1005 Perhaps fixed svr4 problems (reports no tty, no job control) in
1006 get_tty() ... need to detect these SVR4 features in the configure
1007 script.
1008
1009 5. Restored scrollColor, topShadowColor, bottomShadowColor resources
1010 that somehow got lost between the beta and release versions. For
1011 monochrome displays, fixed scrollbar so it will be visible and
1012 suppress color changes.
1013
1014 6. Final? iteration on selection. Store selection text with LF
1015 line-endings but paste into rxvt with CR endings. Selection now
1016 preserves the newline when trailing space is stripped from
1017 non-autowrap lines. Compile-time support for using a keystroke to
1018 paste from the cut-buffer.
1019
1020 7. Fixed utmp.c to handle both sysv and bsd pty names. More changes in
1021 the works to improve documentation and eliminate race conditions ...
1022 this, thankfully, is being done by someone else.
1023
1024 8. Added European language support (X11R6) - let me know of problems
1025 and fixes since I only have X11R5.
1026
1027 9. Changed names of color10-color17 to color8-color15 to match with
1028 those used by color_xterm ... sorry for the inconvenience, but I
1029 didn't have an X11R6 xterm manpage until now and long-term
1030 compatibility is quite important.
1031
1032 Added a real bold font (define USE_BOLDFONT). I still think it's
1033 too much work to avoid pixel droppings for overstrike fonts.
1034 Added support for specifying colors for bold/underline
1035 (colorBD/colorUL) but it's only done when the foreground = the default
1036 foreground ... see the manpage.
1037
1038 Compile-time selection of TERM="xterm-color".
1039
1040 Reduced the number of rarely-used command-line options since they
1041 are accessible on the command-line via their resource names as long
1042 options. More rigid differentiation between long and short options:
1043 long options are --/++ prefixed; short options -/+ prefixed. Added
1044 long-option help to give the resource names.
1045 Removed run-time selection of right-hand scrollbar and arrows.
1046 Removed run-time selection of (pageup_key/pagedown_key/alert_key).
1047
1048 10. Changed Ctrl-Up,Down,Left,Right to emit "\EOa,b,c,d" instead of the
1049 previous "\E[^A,^B,^C,^D" to avoid problems associated with having
1050 an embedded "^C" in a key-sequence. Disallow 80/132 column
1051 switching as the default (same as xterm).
1052
1053 11. Check for seteuid(). Add "ttcompat" module for SVR4.
1054
1055 12. A few people suggested removing the keystroke for toggling MapAlert
1056 and so I have. I agree that it was pointless and/or annoying since
1057 there was no way of determining the current toggled state anyhow.
1058
1059 13. Fixed missing `ttydev' for _sgi. Fixes for BSD utmp support.
1060 Exported WINDOWID before the window was created (oops).
1061
1062 14. Mouse cut&paste of autowrapped lines should be improved, fixed
1063 bug in screen.c::scroll_text().
1064
1065 15. As was pointed by a user -->> in keeping with X conventions, only an
1066 application that starts with 'x' should capitalize the first two
1067 letters of the resource file, so the rxvt resource file (and class
1068 name) should be named Rxvt not RXvt, this is a minor point.
1069
1070 16. rclock: As well as message reminders, rclock can launch programs and
1071 (if no message text is given) act as a cron-type of program. Made
1072 default font `7x14'. Fixed graphics context when mail is waiting
1073 and a reminder is issued - so the message is actually visible!
1074
1075 17. As suggested by a user, changed the bolding algorithm to be slightly
1076 more intuitive:
1077 1. colorBD (if specified)
1078 2. color0-7 -> color8-15 (if possible)
1079 3. boldFont (if specified and found)
1080 4. overstrike (last resort)
1081
1082 This takes advantage of the color capability and is the most
1083 consistent when toggling font sizes on-the-fly. If you never want
1084 overstrike (looks ugly and leaves pixel droppings) or boldFont (you
1085 like to switch font sizes on-the-fly), you can remove them at
1086 compile-time. The other elements are similarly compile-time
1087 selectable.
1088
1089 18. Another user suggestion: scrollbar made more distinct by having the
1090 `trough' a different color from the slider -- I opted for making it
1091 the same as the default background color so that the slider and
1092 arrows appear to `float' on the window. Also removed topShadowColor,
1093 bottomShadowColor resources as unnecessary.
1094
1095 19. Dropped distribution of vttest since Tom Dickey <dickey@clark.net>
1096 is working on an improved version.
1097
1098 2.16 to 2.17
1099 \-----------
1100 1. Fixed problem in scr_refesh_region() that was introduced in v2.16
1101 The problem of `pixel droppings' continues when bold is simulated
1102 using overstrike. Using XCopyArea() sometimes helps, but the
1103 preferred and simplest solution is item 4 below.
1104
1105 2. Removed 7bit mode.
1106
1107 Changed definition of meta so that the ESCAPE is the default and
1108 using meta to set the 8bit on an option that can be made run-time
1109 configurable (assuming people still use this).
1110
1111 Added -/+rv command-line option, resource reverseVideo. NB: it works
1112 slightly differently from xterm's in that foreground/background are
1113 swapped even if they have been explicitly set.
1114
1115 Removed NO_COLOR option -- no more monochrome rxvt (one too #ifdef's).
1116
1117 Inherit existing stty settings (at least for control characters)
1118 and set value of BackSpace appropriately.
1119
1120 Added defines DONT_GUESS_BACKSPACE and NO_DELETE_KEY
1121
1122 3. Added 3D style scrollbar and removed all the old bitmapped
1123 scrollbars and arrows with the only exception being the xterm
1124 lookalike XTERM_SCROLLBAR which is available in a single width.
1125 With arrows, scrollbar behaviour somewhat resembles Motif
1126 behaviour. Without arrows, it's the standard xterm behaviour.
1127
1128 The default scrollbar (defined at compile-time or set by using
1129 scrollBar: True) is to have a scrollbar with arrows arranged on the
1130 right-hand side. The scrollBar resource is now exclusively a boolean
1131 value
1132
1133 scrollbar resources:
1134
1135 scrollColor
1136 topShadowColor
1137 bottomShadowColor
1138
1139 NB: if topShadowColor/bottomShadowColor are unset, their values are
1140 calculated from scrollColor using an algorithm adapted from
1141 fvwm so it shouldn't be too hard to find scrollbar colours that
1142 look good with your window manager and don't consume an entire
1143 colormap.
1144
1145 4. Added smarter handling of bold/blink when applied to the default
1146 fg/bg colours:
1147
1148 If the pixel value of fg/bg matches the pixel value of colour COLOR0
1149 through COLOR7, then applying bold/blink to the default fg/bg will
1150 select the appropriate colour from BOLD0 through BOLD7 instead of
1151 using the overstrike bold.
1152
1153 This seems to be the best way to handle bold/blink attributes when
1154 the foreground/background match and ANSI colour anyhow. For
1155 convenience, it is possible to use colour aliases (next item) for
1156 the foreground/background colours instead.
1157
1158 My preference is a dull Canadian look:
1159
1160 RXvt*foreground: 7
1161 RXvt*background: 10
1162
1163 5. Changed colour aliases (item 7 of last change) and dropped the `#'
1164 prefix. This avoids confusion with the regular #rrggbb format of
1165 specifying colours and is unambiguous since there are no X11 colours
1166 starting with a digit. This also avoids the need to quote the `#'
1167 to protect against shell interpretation.
1168
1169 6. Added colour cursor support.
1170 -cr (cursorColor), as per XTerm -> the (rectangle) cursor colour
1171 -cr2 (cursorColor2), only RXvt -> the text colour.
1172
1173 The cursorColor2 maintains contrast in a colour environment and
1174 is optional.
1175
1176 Thanks Raul Garcia Garcia <rgg@tid.es> for the idea.
1177 Cleaned up scr_refresh (again <sigh>) to avoid some unnecessary
1178 colour changes and removed the reverse video graphics context and
1179 just swap foreground/background colours instead.
1180
1181 7. Typo in command.c: had seteuid() instead of seteguid() <sigh>
1182 Use cfsetospeed()/cfsetispeed() for POSIX termios handling.
1183
1184 8. Ignore the loginShell option/resource for programs that DON'T end
1185 with "sh". A hack but it keeps `rxvt -ls -e rlogin machine' from
1186 failing and I don't know of (m)any shells that don't end in "sh".
1187
1188 9. Hard-code dependencies in Makefiles to avoid using X11 makedepend.
1189 Added check for atexit() to catch the problem that exists on SunOS
1190 but not on Solaris.
1191
1192 10. Collected command-line option parsing and X11 resources into a
1193 single file (xdefaults.c), and introduced a monolithic structure
1194 (with bit-flags for logical options) to eliminate the massive
1195 if-else-if parsing and to reduce possible overlaps/oversights
1196
1197 Short help provided for an incorrect argument.
1198
1199 For more consistency, more flexibility, and fewer switches,
1200 made -grk4/-grk9 options obsolete, and replaced with `-grk mode'.
1201 Added the resource `greek_keyboard' while I was there.
1202
1203 It is also possible to use a `--' or `++' prefix to get so-called
1204 `long options' that correspond to the resource name.
1205 For example,
1206
1207 rxvt +ls -bg Blue
1208 rxvt +loginShell -background Blue
1209 rxvt ++loginShell --background Blue
1210
1211 rxvt ++ls --bg Blue Error!
1212
1213 11. Changed REFRESH_PERIOD to 1 in command.c, the old idea of providing
1214 for fast and furious scrolling needs to be reconsidered so that `cat'
1215 works. Still needs some investigation.
1216
1217 12. Changed scr_poweron(), which corresponds to `ESC c', to also reset
1218 the scrollback buffer.
1219
1220 13. Changed scr_change_screen() (when compiled with NO_SECONDARY_SCREEN)
1221 so that switching from the secondary to primary screen will push the
1222 old secondary screen into the scrollback buffer. This is fairly
1223 useful if your terminfo has have rmcup=\E[?47l\E8, smcup=\E7\E[?47h.
1224 It is NOT particularly useful if rmcup includes \E[2J, like some do.
1225
1226 Running with NO_SECONDARY_SCREEN provides faster switching than
1227 with a real secondary screen and saves memory too.
1228
1229 14. Now that key values have mostly stabilized, moved the compile-time
1230 key choices to "feature.h" ("keys.h" now obsolete).
1231
1232 2.15 to 2.16
1233 \-----------
1234 1. Misc cleanup, rxvt once again passes the vttest (and reverse video
1235 works again). Kanji support tested and seems to be okay. Finally,
1236 an okay set of regular/bold colours. Compile-time option for a
1237 right-side scrollbar.
1238
1239 2. Ctrl-minus now (correctly) generates ^_ [0x1F].
1240 Changed termcap/terminfo to use normal cursor keys instead of
1241 application cursor keys (rmkx/smkx, ke/ks) -- otherwise subsequent
1242 rxvt/xterm starts with the application cursor keys active.
1243
1244 3. Fixed scr_reset() so that resizing is a lot more sensible.
1245 Implemented the equivalent SouthWest resizeGravity (xterm X11R5) so
1246 the bottom line of text on the screen stays fixed. If the window is
1247 made taller, additional saved lines will be scrolled down onto the
1248 screen; if the window is made shorter, lines will be scrolled off
1249 the top of the screen, and the top saved lines will be dropped. The
1250 old resizing code is available with -DOLD_UGLY_RESIZE.
1251
1252 4. Altered code so all man-page documented command-line options will
1253 not trigger errors even if the feature wasn't compiled into rxvt.
1254 Added old, backward compatibility command-line options, but they're
1255 simply ignored. Eventually they can be removed -- perhaps Jan'97?
1256
1257 `-8': use `+7'
1258 `-fat': use `-sb'
1259 `-thin': use `-arrows'
1260 `-meta8thbit' use `-meta8'
1261 `-metaescape' use `-meta'
1262 `-font_list' use `-font1', `-font2', etc.
1263
1264 These ones are just too weird to support:
1265
1266 `-ls-': use `+ls'
1267 `-ma-': use `+ma'
1268
1269 5. Removed secure-keyboard option, too problematic and obscure.
1270
1271 6. First attempt at GNU autoconfig.
1272 Still needs some work, but it's mostly okay.
1273
1274 7. Added minor aliases for foreground/background colours. This permits
1275 colour specifications like -fg "#13" -bg "#10", which would set the
1276 foreground to colour 13 (bright yellow) and the background to colour
1277 10 (bright black). It's not terribly useful yet, but might
1278 eventually be a nice way to have bold/blink colour work even on with
1279 the standard fg/bg colours.
1280
1281 2.14 to 2.15
1282 \-----------
1283 1. Small bug: initial width incorrect when there was no scrollBar.
1284
1285 2. Close the gaping security hole. Renounce setuid/setgid privileges
1286 immediately and only take them up as needed -- chown() or writing
1287 into /etc/utmp.
1288
1289 3. Reverted to using `<' and '>' to toggle smaller/bigger fonts. It
1290 seems that many didn't like KP_Subtract/XK_KP_Add -- conflicts with
1291 some editors, and not all terminals have a Keypad anyhow.
1292
1293 4. Man page reformatted by Piercarlo Grandi <piercarl@sabi.demon.co.uk>
1294 so that it "now is done in the most delightful [sic] elegant 'roff
1295 style :-)"
1296
1297 5. Started to integrate the Kanji support based on old patches from the
1298 Linux-JE (Japanese Extensions) project. Consider it alpha until one
1299 of the JE authors gives it a thorough check.
1300
1301 6. Added compile-time selection of a few different scrollbar widths.
1302
1303 7. When reading X resources, rxvt now recognizes two class names:
1304 "XTerm" and "RXvt". The reason for two distinct names is that there
1305 are many options common between rxvt and xterm -- to which the class
1306 name "XTerm" permits easy access and configuration -- but there are
1307 also several options, notably colours and key-handling, unique to
1308 rxvt but which are useful to share between different rxvt
1309 configurations; the class name "RXvt" permits this.
1310
1311 NB: The "RXvt" class takes precedence (in the event of a clash) and
1312 is the only one ever used for the application defaults file.
1313
1314 8. The initial value used for the Backspace key (^H or ^?) is now
1315 determined from the value of CERASE used to set the termios
1316 structures. This removes the need for the BACKSPACE_AS_DELETE
1317 compile-time option.
1318
1319 2.13 to 2.14
1320 \-----------
1321 1. Default HOTKEY prefix can now be choosen as `meta', `ctrl' or
1322 `shift'. Moved font toggle to KP_Add/KP_Subtract to resemble
1323 resolution toggling of the XFree86 server (Linux) and so that Alt-<
1324 can generate ESC-< for Emacs usage. Man page and usage() reflect
1325 the changes. Note that if you choose the hotkey to be `shift', to
1326 mimic the Linux console scrollback, you'll probably want different
1327 keybindings for mapAlert and Secure.
1328
1329 The choice of the HOTKEY (ctrl or meta) prefix and some of the
1330 key-strings can be compile-time defined in "rxvtkeys.h", although
1331 probably the only changes desired will be in the string value
1332 associated with XK_Delete and in the choice of a HOTKEY (ctrl or
1333 meta) prefix.
1334
1335 Use shift or ctrl to temporarily toggle Backspace from ^H to ^?.
1336 Use shift to temporarily toggle the application keypad.
1337
1338 2. Patch so that setting bold or blink works before or after changing
1339 the colour (it used to only work before changing the colour). Also
1340 added the option of having DOS VGA colours.
1341 Thanks Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>
1342
1343 3. Extensive reworking of pseudo-tty handling and addition of BSD sgtty
1344 terminal handling and new utmpx (Solaris 2.x) support. MANY thanks
1345 to Raul Garcia Garcia (rgg@tid.es).
1346
1347 POSIX wtmp support added by Piet W. Plomp (piet@icce.rug.nl)
1348
1349 Added -/+ut option (resource: utmpInhibit) so you can sometimes be
1350 harder to find :)
1351
1352 4. Finally? cleaned-up selection so that it works properly -- clears a
1353 previously selected region without causing a core dump -- define
1354 NEW_SELECTION.
1355
1356 I believe that this should fix a long-standing problem with the
1357 selection mechanism -- probably back from when selection of the
1358 scrollback was added -- whereby all accounting was done in terms of
1359 screen row values [0 .. RxvtWin.rows-1] plus the current offset
1360 value. The anchor and end points were scrolled with the screen, but
1361 the beginning point wasn't and extending a region that had its
1362 anchor scrolled-off would give complete garbage. The new selection
1363 scheme has lots of bounds-checking (too much?) to prevent these
1364 problems. If PRINT_PIPE is not defined, then you can use
1365 PrintScreen to dump some of the current selection state -- this
1366 should help debugging.
1367
1368 Thanks to John Davis (davis@space.mit.edu) and Piet W. Plomp
1369 (piet@icce.rug.nl) for helping to diagnose the problem.
1370
1371 5. Use information request `ESC [ 8 n' to change the window title
1372 to the current rxvt version so you can find out what version you
1373 have.
1374
1375 6. Added simple code to permit run-time definition of the keysyms
1376 0xFF00 - 0xFFFF if KEYSYM_RESOURCE (for FAKE_RESOURCES only) is
1377 defined. It's not as pretty as that used by xterm since it only
1378 works with keysym values rather that key names, but the impact on
1379 code size is quite minimal. I use it in conjunction with `-name vm'
1380 to remap arrow and function keys for tn3270 ... quite handy.
1381 At the moment the string length is only limited by the line length
1382 (currently 256) used in "resources.c"
1383
1384 The syntax (at the moment) is
1385
1386 rxvt*keysym.0xFFnn: "a string value"
1387
1388 where `nn' is a 2 digit hex value 00 to FF. Of course if there were
1389 an easy and small means of converting key names to keysym values,
1390 then that would be better.
1391
1392 The enclosing quotes are required to start/end with whitespace.
1393 Most of the usual escape values can be used:
1394
1395 \b - backspace
1396 \e - escape
1397 \n - newline
1398 \r - carriage return
1399 \t - tab
1400 \000 - octal number
1401
1402 Anyhow, here's a brief example of what it looks like
1403 in ~/.Xdefaults:
1404
1405 ! F11 key - mimic the output of F1
1406 rxvt*keysym.0xFFC8: \e[11~
1407
1408 ! F12 key - whatever
1409 rxvt*keysym.0xFFC9: Hello World!\n"\"String\" ends with whitespace "
1410
1411 ! Delete key - remap
1412 rxvt*keysym.0xFFFF: "Delete :)"
1413
1414 !Scroll_Lock as flow-control (^S)
1415 rxvt*keysym.0xFF14: \023
1416
1417 7. Oops -- fixed resource name from scrollbar to scrollBar. Fixed
1418 cursor colours to black on white (like xterm) for the scrollbar
1419 cursors, but I've left the xterm (`I'-bar) cursor as foreground on
1420 background because it looks so nice. Allocate all colours when
1421 creating the window so that we don't have to worry about it later
1422 and so that we can avoid potential hassles with colour-hungry
1423 applications like Netscape.
1424
1425 8. Added a way to distinguish an rxvt from an xterm via the obsolete
1426 ESC Z sending the vt100 answer string with 'c' -> 'C'.
1427
1428 Added support for resolving the actual IP number of the host for
1429 remote DISPLAYs. Changed the answer back for ESC[7n to add a
1430 trailing newline to support easier input into the shell. When the
1431 display is local (i.e. :0), we add support for sending the first
1432 non-loopback interface IP number as the DISPLAY instead of just
1433 sending the incorrect ":0". This way telnet/rlogin shells can
1434 actually get the correct information into DISPLAY for xclients.

1437 [Note: I've not had a chance to thoroughly test this -- mjo]
1438
1439 2.12 to 2.13
1440 \-----------
1441 1. Shift and Control now only work for non-application mode cursor
1442 keys and with function keys.
1443
1444 2. Override XTerm mouse reporting with either Mod1 or Shift. X11
1445 mouse reporting now properly includes modifier keys (see rxvt.ref).
1446 Although this effectively degenerates to the Control modifier alone
1447 since both Shift and Meta are used to temporarily disable mouse
1448 reporting -- I don't know an easy way around this but that's what
1449 XTerm does, although since it uses Control to pop-up menus, that
1450 doesn't get transmitted either.
1451
1452 3. Moved a few more configuration items from Imakefile to configure.h
1453
1454 4. Added XAPPLOADDIR define to the Imakefile to allow use of the
1455 application defaults file XAPPLOADDIR/RXvt when rxvt has been
1456 compiled with FAKE_RESOURCES. Now, the following files are
1457 checked:
1458 XAPPLOADDIR/RXvt (compile-time defined)
1459 $HOME/.Xdefaults or $HOME/.Xresources
1460 suggested by John Gotts <jgotts@engin.umich.edu>
1461
1462 5. Applied patches by Edward D.H. Liu <dhliu@solar.csie.ntu.edu.tw>
1463 to fix the speed of pasting rxvt's selection to motif, xew or tk.
1464 Finally! reasonable pasting speed to these applications.
1465
1466 6. patches by Gregory Margo <gmargo@newton.vip.best.com>
1467 for xterm-style proportional scrollbar behaviour:
1468 If pointer is near top, scroll one line.
1469 If pointer is near bottom, scroll full page.
1470 refreshPeriod resource and -refresh option ... still wishing
1471 for faster screen refreshing.
1472
1473 7. Bug fix for partial matches (FAKE_RESOURCES). In addition to
1474 resources for resource name `rxvt', also get resources for class
1475 name `XTerm' as well. Remove checking for `command' resource since
1476 it's not found in xterm nor was there any code in place to parse the
1477 command arguments ... better just to use the command-line -e option.
1478 Replace `fontList' with font1, font2, ... etc. for better xterm
1479 compatibility and for ease of configuration. Changed processing of
1480 string resources and command-line string options to avoid allocating
1481 redundant memory.
1482
1483 8. Previously selected region is now properly cleared when Button1 is
1484 pressed. Still have problems with click-and-drag when Mod1 or Shift
1485 is used to override mouse reporting -- argh! Until someone gets
1486 this properly patched, use Button1 followed by Button3 (to extend
1487 region) in these instances.
1488
1489 9. Understands ANSI set default fg/bg colour (\E[39m / \E[49m)
1490
1491 10. In the screen accounting used in screen.c, use a '\n' to terminate
1492 wrapped lines instead of '\0'. This should avoid mouse selection of
1493 wrapped lines from including a bogus newline. No known
1494 side-effects, but changes isolated by #define NEW_WRAPTYPE.
1495
1496 2.11 to 2.12
1497 \-----------
1498 1. Extra functionality for XTerm mouse report mode. If mouse reporting
1499 is enabled (the application will handle mouse events) the normal
1500 scrollbar operation is disabled -- instead rxvt sends UP/DOWN for
1501 the arrow buttons and PageUp/PageDown when Button1 or Button3 are
1502 clicked on the scrollbar. Use Mod1 (Alt) key to get the normal
1503 scrollbar/arrow button actions and also to get the normal selection
1504 functions -- so that you can still cut/paste between X applications.
1505
1506 2. New colour possibilities -- 16 colours. Instead of using fatter
1507 characters, a bold attribute now uses a brighter foreground colour.
1508 Similarly, a blink attribute will use a brighter background colour.
1509 It is also possible to choose these colours through the resources
1510 (color0 -- color7) permit specification of the ANSI colours (black,
1511 red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white), the resources
1512 (color10 -- color17) are the brighter bold/blink equivalents.
1513 Define USE_FAKE_BOLD to disable.
1514
1515 3. Extensive clean-up of source and headers to separate
1516 interdependencies, remove unused variables. Introduced static
1517 variables wherever possible to limit scoping and reduced the number
1518 of external variables.
1519
1520 4. Allow NumLock to toggle on/off the application keypad.
1521
1522 Backspace sends '\b', Ctrl-Backspace sends '\177'.
1523 Define BACKSPACE_AS_DELETE to reverse these values or use the
1524 escape sequence:
1525
1526 ESC [ 36 h Backspace key sends BS
1527 ESC [ 36 l Backspace key sends DEL
1528
1529 XK_End used to send "\033Ow", which is identical to XK_KP_7 and
1530 confuses EDT-type editors. Now,
1531 Home = "\033[7~"
1532 End = "\033[8~"
1533
1534 Changed Alert & Secure keys from Alt-i & Alt-s to Alt-I & Alt-S so
1535 they aren't so easily toggled.
1536
1537 5. Extra keystroke info. Pass Control and Shift indicators for
1538 function keys (similar to the XJed editor)
1539 eg,
1540 F1 = ESC [11~
1541 C-F1 = ESC [11^
1542 S-F1 = ESC [11$
1543
1544 also, pass indication of shift status for arrow-keys
1545 eg,
1546 Up, Down, Right, Left
1547 = ESC [A, ESC [B, ESC [C, ESC [D
1548 S-Up, S-Down, S-Right, S-Left
1549 = ESC [a, ESC [b, ESC [c, ESC [d
1550
1551 You wouldn't be able to use these keys for termcap/terminfo
1552 applications, but the key sequences are available for remapping
1553 within an application.
1554
1555 6. Added configure.h which is included by each source file and by the
1556 Imakefile. Common compilation defines are now all contained in
1557 configure.h with minor system defines remaining in Imakefile --
1558 makes it much easier to configure. Used XCOMM macro in Imakefile so
1559 that it actually works. Also added defaults.h for defining
1560 user-specific startup defaults.
1561
1562 7. Added rxvt.ref to provide documentation of the various terminal
1563 sequences that are processed. Updated man page to reflect changes.
1564
1565 8. Use xterm-style -/+ to turn on/off options, rationalized resource
1566 names to more closely resemble xterm.

1605 9. Fixed Button actions for XTerm-style scrollbar so that Button1 and
1606 Button3 do different things as they are supposed to. Replace -/+fat
1607 with -/+sb and -/+arrows for more consistency with XTerm. Decreased
1608 width of `fat' scrollbar (make closer to xterm) and increased width
1609 of `thin' scrollbar (arrows too small) -- they are now the same
1610 width. Also made it possible to remove the scrollbar altogether.
1611 Added a visual bell.
1612
1613 Added many more defines to further reduce code size for various
1614 cases, see "configure.h". It is also possible to alter settings in
1615 "defaults.h" for configuration options that will only affect
1616 screen.c and xsetup.c, this should help with compile-time
1617 customization for those who don't want to use Xdefaults.
1618
1619 Added the define REPLACE_SELECTION_NEWLINE to make the substitution
1620 of newlines with carriage returns for selection pasting a
1621 compile-time option.
1622
1623 10. Fixed the graphics samples so that if you want to it's actually
1624 possible to compile them. Added -name command-line option so that
1625 it's possible to select different sets of resources.
1626
1627 11. Integrated initial support for X11 mouse reporting and added
1628 Shift + Function Keys support.
1629
1630 2.10 to 2.11
1631 1. If NEW_COLOR_MODEL is defined in screen.c, the new model I described
1632 in an earlier email is used. (apparantly there are two, slightly
1633 differnt models for using color extensions in a vt-compatible
1634 terminal. This flag lets you switch.
1635
1636 2. If XTERM_MOUSE_REPORT is defined in command.c, mouse reporting is
1637 turned on/off via the appropriate escape sequences. XTerm already
1638 provides this support.
1639
1640 3. If .Xdefaults does not exist, .Xresources is searched for. It seems
1641 that many here use .Xresources.
1642
1643 2.09 to 2.10
1644 1. Really fixed the color problem (?) Got color-ls, and it works now.
1645 2. Added patch to allow run-time selection of font list.
1646
1647 2.07 to 2.09
1648 1. Fixed some color-usage errors.
1649 2. Added double and triple-click support
1650 compliments of ah@doc.ic.ac.uk (Angelo Haritsis)
1651 3. Added Print Screen capability, as in most vt-100's
1652 2.06 to 2.07
1653 1. Fixed problems with rxvt screwing up tty permisssions (?)
1654 2.03 to 2.06
1655 1. Fixed a limit which imposed a maximum width for the
1656 terminal window of 255 characters. There is no limit now.
1657 2. Made provision for applications to get mouse-click feedback
1658 when user clicks in a graphics window. See graphics_sample
1659 2.02 to 2.03
1660 1. Fixed memory management just a little.
1661
1662 2.0 to 2.02
1663 1. Bug fixes for color and graphics.
1664
1665 1.97 to 2.0
1666 1. Added ANSI color support. Compile with -DCOLOR
1667 2. Added a graphics mode. Compile with -DGRAPHICS
1668 1.96 to 1.97
1669 1. Bug in refresh() which was causing slow refreshes after
1670 clear-screens was fixed. Showed up during emacs start-up.
1671
1672 1.95 to 1.96
1673 1. rxvt did bad things if it received mouse - Motion events
1674 without a preceeding button-press. Fixed.
1675 1.94 to 1.95
1676 1. Created a substitute for XGetDefaults, which seemed to account for
1677 1/2 to 2/3 of the memory used by rxvt (according to the SIZE field
1678 of ps output). My substitute only reads the .Xdefaults file. Compile
1679 with -DFAKE_RESOURCES to get my mini- XDefaults handling,
1680 -DREAL_RESOURCES to keep XGetDefault.
1681
1682 1.93 to 1.94
1683 1. Fixed some minor long-standing errors in the vt100 emulation.
1684 2. Fixed ALT-<char> handling in command.c
1685 3. Fixed minor bug with start-of-selection location.
1686 4. Added xterm-type "extend selection" feature using
1687 mouse button 3. Button 1 always starts a new selection. Button3
1688 tries to extend the current selection if possible.
1689 5. Fixed problem with bold-face fonts overflowing into
1690 the next character for some fonts.
1691
1692 1.92 to 1.93
1693 1. ran gprof to find bottle-necks in the code. Halved user
1694 time, but had little effect on total time required to
1695 update the display. Seems worth keeping for the more efficient
1696 user-time, though. At this point, I think that most of the elapsed
1697 time is spent waiting for input or waiting for the X buffers
1698 to flush.
1699 2. Used to refresh the screen every 2.2 screen-fulls during
1700 flat-out scrolling. Really cuts down on scroll-time. Now,
1701 refresh every screen-full (or when there's a pause in activity),
1702 but when flat-out scrolling starts, decrease the refresh period,
1703 so that its every 10th screenful after a little while. This has
1704 no noticeable visible effect, since the scrolling text is
1705 absolutely unintelligible anyway, but will improve the scroll
1706 "feel" when doing just one or two screenfulls, ie in an ls -l.
1707 3. Surrounded the code which uses XCopyArea with #ifdef's
1708 I have never seen this help performance, but I think that there
1709 may be some video-systems which benefit from this, particularly
1710 in a full-screen editor or slow scrolling type of setting.
1711 4. Performance in flat out scrolling, text only, on a sparc-10,
1712 displaying rxvt on an HDS x-terminal:
1713 nation@snoopy>/usr/bin/time rxvt -e cat k
1714 6.1 real 3.1 user 2.5 sys
1715 nation@snoopy>/usr/bin/time xterm -e cat k
1716 40.8 real 4.6 user 3.4 sys
1717
1718 1.91 to 1.92
1719 1. Added greek-keyboard support patches.
1720 1.85 to 1.91
1721 1. assorted minor patches
1722 1.82 to 1.85
1723 1. Fixed ESC c handling.
1724 2. Fixed minor selection handling bug.
1725
1726 1.81 to 1.82
1727 1. Fixed slow refresh during selection process
1728 2. Fixed problem of not correctly clearing selections of 1 character.
1729
1730 1.80 to 1.81
1731 1. Fixed some scrolling problems, problems with partially obscured
1732 windows.
1733 2. Added some neat debugging capability in debug.c
1734 3. Patched up rclock.
1735
1736 1.74 to 1.80
1737 1. Fixed core dump from selecting past the bottom of the screen
1738 2. Fixed a few escape sequences, per the vttest program
1739 3. Broke and fixed handling of moved/resize/new-font handling.
1740 4. Still can't change tab stops correctly.
1741 5. Ran vt-100 test suite. Added capability to change tab stops
1742 and enter reverse video, and to switch from 80 to 132
1743 columns and back. Fixed a seg-fault in scroll().
1744
1745 1.70 to 1.74
1746 1. Fixed cursor drawing errors.
1747 2. Improved smoothness of scroll-back operations.
1748 3. Applied some SVR4 patches.
1749 4. Applied HPUX patches, and a few cursor display patches
1750 5. Fixed up font-changing routines a bit.
1751 6. Fixed a scrolling problem for windows taller than the scroll-back
1752 buffer.
1753
1754 1.6 to 1.7
1755 1. Fixed the problem with random rendition flags in the scroll
1756 back buffer
1757 2. Fiddled with re-drawing on the scroll-bar, and with
1758 how often refreshing occurs.
1759 3. Incorporated some AIX patches.
1760 4. Included #ifdef'd changes to support vt100 printer.
1761 5. Fixed send_string routine, so that it doesn't loose
1762 data.
1763 6. Complete re-write of screen.c
1764 1.5 to 1.6
1765 1. Removed all use of a seperate bold font. Now uses
1766 over-striking exclusively.
1767 2. Added some more optimizations for drawing speed when
1768 the window is re-sized or moved.
1769 3. Implemented speed ups in screen.c
1770
1771 1.47 to 1.48
1772 1. Cleaned up re-drawing on expose events, so rxvt only
1773 re-draws the newly exposed parts of the screen.
1774 2. Fixed backspace, which must have broken in 1.45.
1775 3. Added command line option of iconic startup.
1776
1777 from 1.45 to 1.47
1778 1. Incorporated improved bsd utmp handling from
1779 dperry@ringer.cs.utsa.edu (David Perry)
1780 2. Fixed a very minor bug where the solid-cursor can leave a
1781 a bit of a ghost when you resize the window. Its stupid,
1782 but it always bothered me.
1783
1784 from 1.4 to 1.45
1785 1. Fixed scrolling error when switching to larger fonts
1786 2. Fixed utmp-entry removal for SYSV type systems.
1787 3. Icorportated patches for FreeBSD and svr4
