+
+5.1
+ - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
+ for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
+ (Kuang-che Wu).
+ - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
+
+5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
+ - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
+ - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
+ - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
+ Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
+ - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
+ and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
+ his patience and time in tracking this down).
+ - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
+ most notably, don't remove double quotes.
+ - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
+ - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
+ by Joël Riou).
+ - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
+ available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
+ and is surprisingly hard to implement.
+ - shaved off some code segment size.
+ - various code cleanups.
+ - more keysym-mapping fixes.
+
+4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
+ - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
+ original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
+ - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
+ -pixmap is active.
+ - new option/resource imFont.
+ - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
+ - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
+ - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
+ - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
+ - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
+ (WU Fengguang).
+ - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
+ examples (rxvt.1).
+ - removed src/test completely.
+ - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
+
+4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
+ - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
+ highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
+ sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
+ - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
+ can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
+ - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
+ resulting in segfaults.
+ - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
+ screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
+ - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
+ - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
+ (Mikael Magnusson).
+ - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
+ and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
+ font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
+ tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
+ - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
+ - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
+ - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
+ - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
+ on frills, not on it's own configure option).
+ - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
+ - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
+ - initialize the locale much earlier.
+ - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
+
+4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
+ - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
+ black on initial startup.
+ - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
+ races in the protocol and within Xlib.
+ - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
+ - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
+ additional multimedia keys.
+ - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
+ implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
+
+4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
+ - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
+ if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
+ - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
+ time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
+ turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
+ - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
+ - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
+ process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
+ ignored.
+ - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
+ instead.
+ - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
+ (reported by hednod).
+ - fix an unlikely memory leak.
+ - fix atom name enumeration.
+
+4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
+ - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
+ - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
+ incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
+ selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
+ for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
+
+4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
+ - rewrote handling of default-char width.
+ - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
+ for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
+ titles etc.
+ - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
+ - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
+ - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
+ - upgraded iom.[Ch].
+ - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
+ - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
+ which got partially overwritten by spaces.
+ - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
+ and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
+ should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
+ and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
+ for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
+ - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
+ - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
+
+4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
+ - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
+ obviously in locales not having these characters they should
+ still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
+ Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
+ thoroughly.
+ - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
+ now, too.
+
+4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
+ - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
+ - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
+ on high-latency networks.
+ - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
+ in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
+ - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
+ - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
+ on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
+ by Gunnar Ritter.
+ - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
+ or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
+
+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
for the keymappings.
- don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
(inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
- - xterm: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is an
- extension and is slightly ugly.
+ - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
+ an extension and is slightly ugly.
- removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
- close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
- - xterm: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
+ - xterm-compat: enable seperate mouse bg colour setting.
- re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
overwritten (as is common).
- - xterm: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
+ - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
- ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
- WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
avoid clashes with xterm.
- changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
- - xterm: make set window colour and other requests report window
- colour when arg is "?".
+ - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
+ window colour when arg is "?".
- enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
- stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
projects / dana / urxvt.git / blobdiff
