+5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
+ - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
+ a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
+ meaning of the given key.
+ - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
+ (patch by Martin Edlman).
+
+5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
+ - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
+ this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
+ built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
+ will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
+ - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
+ - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
+ - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
+ to disble it.
+
+5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
+ - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
+ escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
+ Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
+ - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
+ with modifiers.
+ - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
+ - properly update WM_LOCALE.
+ - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
+ - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
+ and clear the scrollback buffer.
+
+5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
+ - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
+ that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
+ a command.
+ - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
+ - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
+ and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
+ in Perl/Gtk2.
+ - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
+ when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
+ (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
+ - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
+ (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
+ pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
+ and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
+ - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
+ line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
+ with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
+ needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
+ - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
+ some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
+ - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
+ not destroy the window for other types of messages.
+ - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
+ of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
+ rxvt-unicode).
+ - get rid of the intpro files.
+
+5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
+ - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
+ for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
+ (Kuang-che Wu).
+ - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
+ tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
+ - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
+ - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
+ - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
+ along with other, similar, cleanups.
+ - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
+ - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
+ - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
+ compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
+ match (reported by Paco-Paco).
+ - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
+
+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
+ 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.
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
