1 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
2 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
3 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
4 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
5 - removed old selection style completely.
6 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
7 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
8 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
9 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
10 be used from within rxvt.
11 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
13 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
14 - code cleanup release.
15 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
16 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
17 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
18 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
20 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
21 --enable-xgetdefaults.
23 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
24 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
25 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
26 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
27 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
28 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
29 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
30 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
31 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
32 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
33 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
34 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
35 --disable-xgetdefault.
36 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
37 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
39 - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
41 - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
43 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
44 - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in
45 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
47 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
48 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
49 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
50 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
52 - more robust encoding name matching.
53 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
54 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
55 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
56 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
58 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
60 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
61 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
64 - viscii enabled by default
65 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
67 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
68 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
70 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
71 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
72 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
73 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
74 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
75 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
76 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
77 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
78 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
79 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
80 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
81 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
82 reported by joel reed.
83 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
84 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
85 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
87 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
88 - removed greek support.
89 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
90 - correct cursor width if !focus.
91 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
92 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block
94 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
95 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
96 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
97 - many other minor bugfixes.
99 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
100 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
101 new bugs, this should not change much.
102 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
103 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
104 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
105 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
106 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
107 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
108 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
110 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
112 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
113 color + bold ass high-intensity, and let the selection
114 use reverse video, not _blink_.
115 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
116 please drop me a note.
118 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
119 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
121 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
122 normal text when colorBD is not set.
123 (- support double-byte characters (by blocking).)
126 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
127 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
128 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
129 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
130 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
132 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
134 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
135 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
136 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
138 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
139 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
141 - much better io manager, less bugs, higher speed
142 - better error reporting for unknown options
145 - fix a bug in font height selection
146 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
147 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
148 - much faster x11 font selecti
151 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug form the original rxvt
152 - better font matching
153 - better memory management (less memory)
154 - new fallback: gnu freefont
157 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
158 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
159 - much improved font choosing
163 - original cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
