or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
xfree86's xterm).
-TODO: implement xterm mode to be able to use xfree's TERM=xterm.
- (except for the keymapping this should be done now).
+TODO: hotkey font resizing
+TODO: +ssc -ssr seems to scroll at wrong time, scrolling up the empty sec. scr.
TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al.
+TODO: tabbed windows
TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file.
+TODO: OnTheSpot editing.
+4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
+ - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
+ -ssc/-ssr settings.
+ - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
+ programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
+ - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
+ - add compile fix for darwin.
+ - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
+ - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
+ - upgraded iom.[Ch].
+
+4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
+ - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
+ - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
+ - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
+ - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
+ - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
+ - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
+ - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
+ ... terminated by a fix.
+ - new supported preeeditType "None".
+ - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
+ - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
+ - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
+ for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
+ causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
+ (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
+ - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
+ when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
+ - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
+ though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
+ - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
+ - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
+ - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
+ as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
+ input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
+ due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
+ in tracking this down.
+ - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
+ make install) with the correct program name and other info.
+
+3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
+ - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
+ many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
+
+3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
+ - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
+ differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
+ installed if tic is available.
+ - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
+ - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
+ - removed README.unicode.
+ - support select&paste of tab characters.
+ - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
+ by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
+ - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
+ and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
+ - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
+ screen updates with curses.
+ - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
+ by spaces.
+ - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
+ (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
+ - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
+ is just too slow for this to work.
+ - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
+ where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
+ implement. use --enable-styles.
+ - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
+ (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
+ supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
+ for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
+ - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
+ compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
+ - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
+ monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
+ - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
+ speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
+ (only for non-bold right now).
+ - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
+ - better default font size and style.
+ - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
+ into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
+ single character against the base font extents and will only
+ use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
+ - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
+ be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
+ more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
+ rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
+ - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
+ - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
+ screen height.
+ - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
+ - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
+ - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
+ off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
+ - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
+ - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
+ - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
+ - removed OSC 702.
+ - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
+ confused by it rather than using it.
+
+3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
+ - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
+ - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
+ - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
+ - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
+ due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
+ approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
+ "cannot create input context" in most cases.
+ - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
+ at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
+ - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
+ previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
+ close).
+ - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
+ not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
+ - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
+ - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
+ - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
+ could not be created.
+ - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
+ #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
+ condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
+ sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
+ command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
+ wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
+ works.
+ - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
+ - document more escape sequences.
+ - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
+ - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
+ character is a sensible operation.
+ - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
+ - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
+ reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
+ - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
+ - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
+ made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
+ with selections).
+
+3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
+ - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
+ windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
+ needs access to a local shell window).
+ - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
+ Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
+ character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
+ function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
+ a little window or so) would be welcome.
+ - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
+ - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
+ a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
+ - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
+ - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
+ added there.
+ - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
+ - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
+ - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
+ - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
+ instead of being ignored.
+ - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
+ queries, as they are harmless(tm).
+ - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
+ find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
+ but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
+ - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
+ people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
+ - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
+ "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
+ - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
+ - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
+ which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
+ needs testing anyways.
+ - more complete compile options help output.
+ - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
+ Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
+ provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
+ providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
+ Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
+ - minor doc fix.
+
+3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
+ - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
+ show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
+ released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
+ - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
+ speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
+ memmove :)
+ - minor cleanups.
+ - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
+ (debian bug #169415).
+ - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
+ - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
+ - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
+ - updated config.guess.
+
+3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
- fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
- fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
- disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
speeding up scrolling immensely.
- various other optimizations.
- - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson
