0.5.2 to 0.5.3
\-----------------------------------
Gautam Iyer <gi1242@users.sourceforge.net>
* Bug Fixes:
1. Handle EIO errors (got when tcsh / fish exit) properly. Patch by
Zoltan Szalontai.
2. Disabled Shift+Enter shortcut by default, since it may confuse new
users.
3. Make Alt+Enter behave like Xterm.
4. Added %T,%G,%P flags for percent interpolation (useful for dtach).
5. Bold colored text is rendered in BOTH bold font, and bright color.
Use only bold font.
6. r->num_fds is properly reduced when tabs are closed
7. Ignore focus events of type NotifyGrab and NotifyUngrab. This
caused an annoying blinking when focussing other windows via the
keyboard. (Thanks to Roman Po??ízka for pointing this out).
8. Removed the --focusDelay option (no longer necessary with above
bugfix).
* Enhancements:
1. Added --titleFormat and --winTitleFormat options to control display
of tab and window titles.
2. Added options --veryBright and --boldColors to control how bold
primary colors are rendered.
3. Added --useFifo option, to make mrxvt listen for macros on a fifo.
Code based on patch by Jozef Vesely.
4. Added Raise macro to "raise" the mrxvt window. Thanks to Jozef
Vesely for the patch.
5. Added a UseFifo macro to enable / disable --useFifo at runtime.
Defined a macro that opens a "mrxvt console" in a new tab (bound to
Ctrl+Shift+c by default). Added --enable-use-fifo compile time
option for people paranoid about security.
6. Added BOLD_BRIGHTENS_256_COLORS option in feature.h which attempts
to brighten even non-primary colors instead of drawing them in
bold. (Respects boldColors and veryBright).
7. Made winTitleFormat a profile option.
8. Added -ic option to set the application icon. (Adapted from patch
#1656294 by Stanislav Mekhanoshin)
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
* Enhancements:
1. Check locale for encoding method if it is not specified by -km
option or multichar_encoding resource.
2. Add new debugging facility such that a user can specify the
message type and verbose level by command line options. Run
`mrxvt -dmask whatever -dlevel something' for details.
3. Fix compile error when use Sun Studio 10. Thanks to Quintin
Beukes for the patch.
0.5.1 to 0.5.2
\-----------------------------------
Gautam Iyer <gi1242@users.sourceforge.net>
* Bug Fixes:
0. Did a HUGE REWRITE of the multi-tab code base. Incomplete escape
sequences longer cause lockups. Really busy tabs no longer starve
everything else!
1. Fixed detecting xft support if xft-config is missing.
2. Fixed segfault obtained when the last macro in r->macros is executed
4. Convert sources from ts=8 to ts=4. Yes ts=8 was a bug :). Added a
script ts4to8.pl to do this.
3. Make text under cursor visible if cursorcolor2 is not defined.
5. Added "Exec" macro to execute external programs
6. Added % expansion to macros. %s=selection, %t=tab title, %n=tab#.
7. Added a menu option to open the selection in a new tab in mutt /
w3m, or in firefox.
8. Implemented a "-into" option to embed mrxvt into. Thanks to Bruno
Deferrari <utizoc@gmail.com> for the patch.
9. Fix buffer overflow. Thanks to Frederik Deweerdt <deweerdt@free.fr>
for the patch.
10. Made -ufbg and -fade options work under Xft ;).
11. Font specified with --boldFont is correctly handled (even if it's
of a different dimension).
12. Exited tabs are now correctly held. Output from them is not lost
even if they exit very quickly.
13. Rewrote the -ufbg and focus fading code completely. Now works
correctly if tabs are switched on on unfocussed window, or if the
bg is changed (via an escape sequence) from an inactive tab /
unfocussed window.
14. Removed round trip to server when allocing Xft colors. (Reduces
protocol requests by about 750 on startup, which should speed
things up on a slow connection).
15. Defined CURSOR_COLOR_IS_RENDITION_COLOR by default in
src/feature.h. This makes the cursor better visible when the cursor
color is not defined, and makes the behaviour similar to the
default behaviour of Xterm.
16. BugFix: Str and Esc macros caused a beep on execution.
17. Updated examples / menus to use new word splitting.
18. When user closes the mrxvt window, don't forcefully exit. Instead
send SIGHUP to all child processes, and wait for childs to exit.
Previous behaviour caused problems if the child produced some
output on SIGHUP, or took a few seconds to exit.
* Enhancements:
0. Really busy tabs (even with Xft+anti aliasing) no longer starves
anything else!
1. Reduced memory footprint by roughly 5kb.
2. Converted all source files to use the standard ts=8 for easier
diffing / online viewing.
3. Added a --focusDelay option to collect focus changes events over an
interval. This is mainly to work around a bug in some window
managers.
4. Xft bold fonts now actually use the bold font, instead of over
striking.
5. Added a --xftBoldWeight option to control the weight of the Xft
bold font.
6. Made --holdExit a string option, so that tabs can be held based on
the exit status of the child.
7. Added --holdExitTitle and --holdExitText options to specify the
title of an exited tab, and the text printed in the tab of an
exited child process.
8. Removed the "jumpScroll" option, and replaced it with
--refreshLimit and --skipPages (see man page).
9. Changed word splitting of commands executed via NewTab and exec
macros. Now words are split only at spaces or tabs (unless
backslashed). If command starts with "!", it is passed to /bin/sh
-c, which does all the word splitting / executing. For the old
behaviour define INERNAL_WORD_SPLIT in src/feature.h.
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
* Bug Fixes:
1. Fix mrxvtset.pl as pointed by Avi Yagodnick.
2. Fix mouse button 4/5 behavior. Make it the same as firefox
as pointed out by Yoshihiko Kashio.
3. Fix reverse video when foreground/background colors are not
defined. Thanks to Yoshihiko Kashio.
4. Disable slave macros in the macro chains if the first (master)
macro is defined as dummy.
5. Fix off-focus fading. Thanks to Ken Zalewski for the report.
6. Add macros to check and set options. Extend the number of
options.
7. Add macros to check and unset X resources.
8. Add macros to check and set NULL pointers.
9. Fix some freeing NULL pointer issues.
10.Fix black and white icons. Thanks to William Poetra Yoga
Hadisoeseno for the patch!
11.Lots of code cleanup in command.c:rxvt_cmd_getc. Previously
it is lengthy and nearly unmaintenanble.
12.Fix round-robin algorithm of command.c:rxvt_find_cmd_child.
13.Fix crash if click on empty space of menubar. Thanks to Zhu
Qunying for the patch.
14.Fix severl compile error - we must call DBG_MSG after variable
declaration in functions as we are using C, not C++. Thanks to
lzl@mitbbs.com for bringing this issue to me and provide patch.
15.Fix unclosed file descriptors in child process.
16.Fix session support. We actually did not listen on it because
the number of open file descriptor is small - we did not count
it!
* Enhancements:
1. Add --with-max-profiles to configure script as suggested
by Avi Yagodnick.
2. Add experimental fast (hopefully) memory management code. It
is disabled by default.
0.5.0 to 0.5.1
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
* Bug Fixes:
1. Compile error at rxvt_free_clipping (screen.c) when XFT
support is not enabled.
2. Fix typo in acute acent. Thanks to Benedikt Magnusson
for the bug report.
3. Fix file descriptor leakage - we should close /dev/ptmx
after forking. Thanks to Edgar Toernig for the report
and patch.
4. Always show cursor while mrxvt loses focus. Thanks to
Edgar Toernig for the patch.
5. Adjust several limits, e.g., max border width and min
blink time according to Edgar Toernig's patch.
6. Fix rpmbuild (Sourceforge Bug #1482311)
7. Fix crash on OpenBSD 3.9 when MULTI_CHAR is enabled -
the variable morecur (defined as char) in screen.c is
treated as unsigned (WtF!).
8. Fix compile error on OpenBSD 3.9 when MULTI_CHAR is
enabled (OpenBSD keeps playing game with us!).
9. Saving session behavior now conforms to profile support.
10. Apply patches from FreeBSD ports.
11. Fix crash on Solaris when calling XLookupString. Xlib
manual states that a portable program should pass NULL
to the last (compose) parameter.
12. Add mrxvt 0.4.x compatible keyboard combinations to
mrxvtrc. They are disabled by default though. Thanks to
Mihail Zenkov for the report and Dimitri AT sun.com for
the solution.
* Enhancements:
1. Enable multiple bold fonts. Thanks to Edgar Toernig for
the patch.
2. Add Fink package build. Thanks to Jeremy Anthony for the
submission.
Gautam Iyer <gi1242@users.sourceforge.net>
* Bug Fixes:
1. Macros now ignore the state of caps lock (as they should).
2. The highlight flag is now set even if the tabbar is hidden (so
showing the tabbar will show which tab produced the beep).
3. Macros without modifiers did not work. Fixed this.
4. Ignore SIGHUP (caused exit when parent shell is killed).
5. Ignore SIGPIPE (caused exit when print command crashes).
6. Some Xft fonts, e.g., aquafont, report double the actual width.
This cause some text being clustered together while the cursor
and user input have double size. Test, and correct for this.
Notice that this fix will work for fontconfig 2.3.2 (as we have
tested) or later version, and you must run ``fc-cache -f'' after
upgrading fontconfig. It will not work for fontconfig 2.2.3 and
earlier versions due to the bug of fontconfig.
7. Also dump initial tab titles when the --cmdInitTabs options are
given (this used to cause incorrect behaviour when the user closes
tab 0, and opens a new tab).
8. Fixed bug #1473987. (Jagged edges of screen fonts)
9. Fixed bug #1357219. (Made bg changes via escape sequences sticky)
10. Saved configuration file is now profile compliant.
11. Setting the tab title via \e]0 behaves like \e]2 (i.e. honors the
macros SET_TAB_TITLE_ON_XTERM_SEQUENCE & SET_TAB_TITLE_NOT_WIN_TITLE
defined in feature.h). Previously only \e]2 would honor these
macros. To only set the window title, the new escape sequence \e]60
has been added.
* Code cleanup:
1. Made coding & comment style similar to that of Vim (works well with
Vim7's syntax folding).
2. Removed --confFileSave option. It's no longer needed as the
SaveConfig macro accepts an argument.
* Enhancements:
1. Warn if closing mrxvt with multiple tabs (and the tabbar is
hidden).
2. Code cleanup (OK. That's not really an enhancement for users)
3. Update documentation.
* New features:
1. Changed the behaviour of the --vt%d.xx resources. The settings are
now tied to profile %d (as opposed to the %d'th tab). A new tab
with profile %d can be opened on demand, or on startup.
2. Added option --initProfileList to replace -tnum. (Marked -tnum as
obsolete).
3. Removed option --cmdInitTabs as it is no longer meaningful with
profiles.
4. When the command specified via the --profile%d.command option is
prefixed with an '!', run the shell first and then execute the
command. Removed the --tabShell option (as the prefix with '!' is
more flexible).
5. Macros can now be chained (i.e. you can execute upto 16 actions in
sequence with any macro).
6. Made the print screen macro take a command argument. You can use
this to define a macro to open the scroll back buffer in less (for
instance) in a new tab, and search regexp's to your heart's content
:).
7. Made the extra height of active tabs, and radius of tab corners
compile time options.
8. Added a --workingDirectory (profile) option to set the working
directory of new tabs. Set to "." to use the cwd of the active tab.
9. Added a ToggleFullscreen macro. (Use with --smoothResize enabled).
0.4.2 to 0.5.0
\-----------------------------------
Gautam Iyer <gi1242@users.sourceforge.net>
* Bug Fixes:
1. Bug #1301269: Make ACS graphics / line drawing characters work
under Xft.
2. Bug #1337635: Made ColorBD/HL work under Xft.
3. Fixed pseudo-transparency when the root background is tiled on the
desktop.
4. Numerous fixes to options to match the documentation (see CVS
logs).
5. Partially fixed "transparentForce" option (see man page).
6. Enabled pointer blank under Xft.
7. Fixed text shadow.
8. Enabled Xft with menus.
9. If we're unable to exec the shell (or command specified), print an
error message and exit gracefully. (Thanks to Eygene Ryabinkin).
10. Fix crash after XIM quits. (Thanks to Gary Zhang for pointing it to
us, and attach the patch).
11. Fix XIM preedit problems (Thanks to Yoshihiko Kashio for the
patch), including:
- wrong calculation of the preedit area size with hide/show
bars
- updating the size of the preedit area with resizing window
- updating the fontset of the preedit area with changing
font size
- the linespace of the preedit area is not configured
- the preedit character is not drawn on the font baseline
- clean up codes related to XIM
13. Fix compile on cygwin by implementing strcasestr.
14. Added a macro XTERM_KEYS to feature.h. If defined, then modified
function keys will send the same escape sequences as Xterm.
15. Fixed DEC sequences sent by the numeric keypad.
* Enhancements (Performance):
1. Reduced memory (xresource) usage under pseudo-transparency.
2. Made performance improvement to expose events (especially under
Xft). Dragging some other window over mrxvt no longer causes
any flicker :).
3. Decreased CPU usage when not focused.
4. Rewrote tabbar drawing routines to eliminate flicker on expose.
5. Optimized screen drawing routine with "caching": Causes notable
performance improvement under Xft.
* Enhancements (Appearance / Features):
1. Updated documentation! (Includes shiny new almost complete man
page).
2. Make tabbar apearence more intuitive: Use itabBackground instead of
tabBackground for the background of the tabBar so that the active
tab stands out better.
3. Make highlighted tabs stay highlighted until activated.
4. Fixed borderless windows (thanks to Jonathan Black for the patch).
5. Added popup menus. Ctrl left/right click pops up menus.
6. Right click on tabbar now pops a menu listing all tabs.
7. Rewrote tabbar drawing routines. Tabs now have rounded tops. Also
made the active tab bigger than the others (like Konsole).
8. When clearing the primary screen, we move the text into the
scrollback buffer (instead of discarding the information
completely). Thanks to Sabit Sayeed for the suggestion.
* New features:
1. Added option -htb (--highlightTabOnBell) to highlight inactive tabs
only when a bell sounds.
2. Added option -mtw (--maxTabWidth) to set the maximum displayed with
of each tab.
3. Added option --smoothResize to resize the window in pixel
increments instead of by char. Useful for fullscreen / maximizing.
Requires frills.
4. Added option --fullScreen to make window fullscreen.
5. Made feature --enable-smartresize into option --smartResize. Make
smart resize aware of window manager decorations. Requires frills.
6. Added option -aht (--autohideTabbar) to automatically hide the
tabbar if there is only one tab, and show it if there are more than
one tabs open.
7. Added a "hard reset" hotkey. Thanks to Pavel Gorshkov for the
patch.
8. Added --enable-xrender compile time option to use XRender alpha
blending to tint the background under pseudo transparency.
9. Enabling tinting transparent tabbar / menubar with their background
colors. Requires XRender.
10. Added --bgRefreshInterval option specifying how long we should wait
before refreshing our background. This avoids laggy delays while
dragging the window.
11. Added hotkeys ScrollHome and ScrollEnd to scroll to the beginning
and end of the scrollback buffer. Bound these by default to
Shift+Home and Shift+End.
12. Added option -xftpfn and -xftpsz to specify the name and size of a
propotionally spaced font for the tabbar / menubar.
13. Added support for Firefox like tabs: All tabs have the same width,
and they shrink as tabs are added. Requires xftpfn
14. Added option -mvt to determine the minimum number of tabs to keep
visible.
15. Added CloseWindow hotkey and escape sequence.
16. New tabs now open in the current working directory of the active
tab.
17. The "hotkey" feature from mrxvt-0.4.2 has now been replaced with
a "macro" feature. This reduces the code size slightly, and
provides added functionality.
18. Implemented a "ToggleMacros" function to toggle using keyboard
macros. Renamed options "-dh" and "-ddh" to "-dm" and "-nsc"
respectively.
19. Added feature to move tabs by dragging.
* Code cleanup:
1. Removed the SCROLL_ON_* features. These can all now be implemented
using hotkeys.
2. Cleaned up menubar code.
3. With -xftpfn the menus now look good :). And you have your precious
Control right click menu from Xterm.
4. Changed default scroll bindings to only work on the primary screen.
5. Fixed code indent (and added lots of comments) in lots of places.
6. Removed compiled in keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl-+ font resizing).
This can be done with macros, and the macros method provides added
flexibility.
7. Removed support for getting resources using the X resource
database. Now resources are only read using ~/.mrxvtrc.
* Incompatible Changes:
1. Tinting works differently with XRender. See -tint in the man page.
2. The default terminal is now "rxvt" instead of "xterm". This causes
trouble on some systems where the "rxvt" termcap / terminfo entries
are not correctly setup.
3. The old "hotkey" feature has been removed. Use the "macro" feature
instead.
4. Mrxvt menus are now incompatible with rxvt. Mainly because the
menu-action works similar to the macro actions, which extends the
functionality of the old rxvt menus.
5. Quite a few escape sequences controling tabs have been disabled for
security concerns (e.g. creating, closing and moving tabs). All
these functions can be accessed through macros, and menus. (The
idea is that only interactive users should have access to these
functions. 'cat'ing a text file with these escape sequences should
not produce such effects.
6. A few default bindings were changed for consistency (and might be
changed again).
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
fix bug under XFT that ColorBD/ColorHL are ignored (Sourceforge
Bug ID# 1337635). Thanks Gautam Iyer for the patch.
fix screen flicker behavior when pseudo-transparency is enabled
and mrxvt is off-screen. Also fix a BadMatch error. Thanks
a lot to Gautam Iyer for the clear explanation of the problem
and his nice patch.
fix code of highlighting inactive tabs when they receive some
output. Add an compile option HIGHLIGHT_TAB_ON_BELL into
feature.h (disabled by default) so that inactive tabs are
only highlighted when they receive bell. Also make highlight
bold. Thanks Joshua Wise for the suggestion and patch.
fix hot key parsing. Primary flag should not be checked like
ctrl/meta/shift flag.
fix button click action on tabbar based on Mark Olesen's patch.
Now scroll-up and scroll-down clicks (Button4 and Button5)
will active the previous/next tab. In addition, only clicks
of Button1 will activate the button functions.
fix hotkey handler to kill a tab according to Mark Olesen's
suggestion. That says, if there is only one tab left, we
shall not kill it to quite the entire terminal. This behavior
is the same as gnome-terminal.
0.4.1 to 0.4.2
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add question of emacs hotkey and answer in FAQ.
add option to load application icon, not implemented yet.
fix display problem when both bottomTabbar and hideTabbar are
enabled (Sourceforge Bug ID 1299309).
fix signal sent to child process when quit a page. We now send
SIGHUP instead of SIGKILL to be more graceful.
fix compile error on OpenBSD 3.7.
fix missing iconv library on OpenBSD 3.7.
fix prematurely stop of tab title sequences on ^C. Thanks to
Johann 'Myrrkraverk' for the report and patch [Sourceforge
Bug ID 1211691]. If any of you dislike the patch, please
blame Johann instead of me. ;-)
fix default 256 colors. When XTERM_COLORS is defined, we use the
same colors as xterm. Thanks to Gautam Iyer for the patch.
fix trailing space in selection by porting Marius Gedminas's
patch for rxvt - we will not copy trailing space in mouse
selection. Thanks to Mun Johl for pointing me the patch.
fix 64-bit bugs reported on debian
fix default maximal number of tabs to 15.
fix configure.ac. Revert back the LINUX_KEYS check (disable it)
since it causes lots of complaints. :p I think LINUX_KEYS
mean to use Home/End keys as Linux console. But X terminals
like mrxvt are different.
add a new configurable X resource for Linux console style Home/End
keys instead of fixing it in the source code.
fix rxvt_process_hotkey interface, simplify it by eliminating the
three mask variables.
fix escape sequence of F1 - F4. Now we introduce a *magic* check
to determine the terminal type at run-time and send correct
escape sequence accordingly. To support this feature, we also
introduce a new escape sequence to let user tell mrxvt that
terminal type has changed at run-time. To be clear, normally
user changes the TERM environment variable in shell. However,
this change is not visible to mrxvt! So the user must tell
mrxvt that the TERM environment variable has been changed using
this new escape sequence. Thanks to Johann Oskarsson for the
report and patch.
0.4.0 to 0.4.1
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add mrxvt.spec file based on Jingyu Zhou's work. This file is used
to build RPM packages.
fix Korea encoding according to rxvt sourceforge bug id 1181825.
fix tinting on Window Manager other than WindowMaker.
fix dead key support. Add a hack to enable dead key manually. User
must press dead key twice or press dead key and space to input
the characters of dead keys themselves. This is a temporary
solution. It may be changed in future release. To enable this
feature, define USE_DEADKEY in feature.h. Thanks to wwp for
all the help on this issue.
fix infinite loop on Solaris when a child exists. Thanks to Sunil
for the patch.
fix cursor color is rendition color by applying William P. Y.
Hadisoeseno's patch. But disable it in feature.h by default.
fix FAQ of Home/End key question.
fix malloc function check in configure.ac, and apply a patch to
rxvt_malloc when the size is 0. On Tru64/OSF, malloc(0) returns
NULL pointer. We want to avoid this behavior. Thanks to Teun
Burger.
fix crash when saveLines exceeds 65535, hopefully.
fix help message. Print it to stdout instead of stderr.
fix lots of compile warnings, thanks to Teun Burger for the report.
fix compile problems on Tru64/OSF based on Teun Burger's patch.
fix manpage of hotkey inhibit options.
fix manpage of special hotkey symbols.
fix freezing with mc in bash when viewing a file in tar files. This
is because the read syscall blocks when trying to read more
data from the child process. Strange problem since it seems
good in tcsh. [Sourceforge Bug ID: 1103548]
0.3.13 to 0.4.0
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add option tabShell in order to execute shell before running tab
command in the tab. Thus the tab will not quit if the tab
command exits.
fix definition of macro LINUX_KEYS based on luohui's suggestion.
We define the LINUX_KEYS macro if the OS probed by the
configure script is Linux. Thus, we can use Home/End key to
reach the beginning/end of a command line. (But it seems not
effective on my system :-()
fix option and resources for tab sessions. Now we change them to
tab commands to avoid confusion with X session. Notice that
all resource names and command line options related to each
tab have been changed! In particular, follow these:
mrxvt*vt%d.session -> mrxvt*vt%d.command
mrxvt*cmdAllSession -> mrxvt*cmdAllTabs
mrxvt*initSession -> mrxvt*cmdInitTabs
-vt%d.ss -> -vt%d.e
-cs -> -at
-is -> -it
fix question about synchronizing tab title to current directory
for C shell in FAQ based on Nicholas Carrasco's solution.
fix default terminal type in configure script. Change it from rxvt
to xterm to avoid wired bash behavior for very long command
line. Thanks to Luohui for the report and digging out the
solution.
fix core dump if the child process quits too fast. In this case,
read syscall returns -1, but we didn't handle it carefully
and moved cmdbuf_endp backward!
fix typo and man page for key bindings according to Elan Ruusamae's
suggestion.
fix off-by-one byte buffer overflow when parsing the X resources
using XrmGetResource [Sourceforge Bug ID: 1117722].
0.3.12 to 0.3.13
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add configure option --enable-minimal to only enable minimal
number of configuration options. So people who want a slim
mrxvt can simply their configuration command line.
add escape sequence to change bgfade degree at runtime.
fix xdefaults.c. Merge Grant McDorman's patch that correctly
handles the vt%d.BlahBlah resources. Many thanks to Grant!
fix input buffer filling case. It means that there is space in
the beginning of the input buffer, but no space at the end
of the input buffer. In this case, we can move the content
of the input buffer forward to free space.
fix input buffer overrun in rxvt_cmd_getc. The input buffer size
should be (BUFSIZ-1 - (cmdbuf_endp - cmdbuf_base)) instead of
BUFSIZ!!! Thanks to Carsten Menke for reporting the bug.
fix the missing -sm option in session management restart command.
fix compile error of xfticonv if iconv.h is not found. This seems
to be a common problem on Cygwin for some Chinese users. So
if your mrxvt can display CJK text using X11 fonts, but not
XFT fonts, check whether HAVE_ICONV_H is defined in config.h
when you compile mrxvt!
fix tab number when saving terminal status in session management.
Ooooops, we miss the first tab whose index is zero!!!
fix leakage of the highest file descriptor to child process. In
the past, this can be considered as a potential security bug.
But, only in theory... :p
fix tab moving behavior when move first tab to left or last tab
to right. Disable the moving in these two cases because they
are too complicated to code correctly. :p [Sourceforge bug id
1107773]
fix behavior of xterm escape sequence of setting terminal window
title. We also set the current tab's title so that if the user
"set titlestring=%f" in ~/.vimrc, the current tab's title is
set to the opened file as well. I have found it very useful
to browse among multiple tabs that have different files
opened. If you do not like this behavior, uncomment the macro
SET_TAB_TITLE_ON_XTERM_SEQUENCE in feature.h.
fix behavior of xterm escape sequence of setting terminal window
title. We introduce a new macro SET_TAB_TITLE_NOT_WIN_TITLE
to avoid setting window title at all. This is used to help
vim since vim restores the window title using old window
title when it exits. This can be annoying - try it and you
know the reason. If you do not like it, uncomment the macro
in feature.h.
fix poor response speed of the active tab if there are busy
activities in the inactive tabs. Now in rxvt_cmd_getc, we
first try to return the active tab if it contains input data.
If there is no input data in the active tab, we process the X
events to see if they can push input data into the active tab.
If still not, we return other tab that contain input data. If
all tabs have no input data, we select on all tabs and then
pick a tab to return. This is a major fix that delays our
0.4.0 release. But hey, we want a stable 0.4.0, right?!
fix tab lockup. It happenes when a tab is particular busy, thus
the tabs on the right side of this tab are locked up.
fix configure script: fix check of the utempter, xpm, jpeg and
png options, fix default option of mouse slip wheel and
ttygid.
fix pseudo-transparency when opacity is not enabled.
fix compile error when utmp is disabled.
fix manpage for the description of %d.
0.3.11 to 0.3.12
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add option to enable/disable X session management, compatible to
Xterm.
add hotkey function CopySel and PasteSel to copy and paste
selection. The CopySel function is used to copy the selection
in current terminal to the X clipboard, but it is not yet
implemented. The PasteSel function is used to past the
selection in current terminal or the X clipboard into the
terminal. It is working now. But be careful that define it
as Ctrl_v may break something! For example, in vi, you might
want to replace the character ^M, which requires you to type
in Ctrl_v and Ctrl_m.
add meta key Primary so that a hotkey can be disabled when the
terminal is using the secondary screen. This is useful for
the above problem (Ctrl_v).
fix X properties, merge them into global Atom array r->h->xa[].
fix setting terminal window title. Now we support UTF-8 terminal
titles, which makes it work when we use multichar strings as
terminal title.
fix half shadow configuration option, show its value only when
rxvt scrollbar is enabled.
fix help message for modes, make them consistent.
fix resource name in man page. Replace XTerm.ResourceName with
mrxvt.resourceName to avoid confusion.
fix resource name of backspace key, delete key, selection style,
and print pipe. Standardize them as other resource names.
This will break old rxvt style resource names, but cause
less confusion.
fix random bold text under XFT. We disable the bold XFT font in
order to fix it. This should be a temporary solution.
fix rxvt_clean_exit. Kill all child processes there since zsh
puts them into background if we do not do so. Thanks to
Rob Eberts for the patch.
fix slow scrolling when XFT antialiasing is enabled. We just
disable screen refresh at all on scrolling. Now scrolling is
super fast, e.g., takes about one second to `ls -l /usr/bin'.
I guess it probably is the fastest in the world. But there
is no visual effect of scrolling any more. There is not a
perfect world, right? :p
fix poor performance of mouse wheel scrolling when XFT antialiasing
is enabled. Basically, we just disable screen refresh on
scrolling. Thanks to Jacques Bouchard for the report.
fix missing mouse wheel scrolling macros in feature.h.
fix compile error when mouse wheel is defined.
fix meta8 and mouseWheelScrollPage option. Now they can be enabled
by command line options.
fix cutChars resource and its man page option. Thanks to Ashish
for the report.
fix scrollTtyOutputInhibit man page option. Thanks to Ashish
for the bug report.
fix missing parameter when calling rxvt_scr_move_to under
SCROLL_ON_HOMEEND_KEYS feature. Thanks to Ashish for the
report.
fix rxvt_get_pty. Avoid potential compile error for C compilers.
fix mrxvtset.pl. Replace the control character (^[) with its
digital forms to avoid the side effect if a user accidently
cats the script in shell.
fix configure.ac. Non-GNU C compilers like SUN's cannot accept
-Wall and -fPIC options.
fix rxvt_init_hotkeys. Use ANSI_C compliant function instead of
GCC extension. Thanks to Grant McDorman for the patch.
fix Cqual qualifiers, non-gcc compilers do not support it. Thanks
to Grant McDorman for reporting this issue.
fix possible integer overflow in throttle bell. Also comment out
this feature in the feature.h.
fix crash on XftPatternDestroy if we change the font size in
reverse order, e.g., increase the font size then decrease
it. It seems that we should not destroy the pattern returned
by XftFontMatch. But there is no documentation to explain it
clearly! :-(
fix rxvt_save_options. Do not save undocumented features :p
fix keyboard deadlock when Shift_Home (increasing font) is pressed,
and XIM is enabled, but XIM is not successfully opened. This
is because the same keyboard events are filtered away by
rxvt_cmd_getc.
fix button pixmaps. Narrow the width of the pixmaps so that it
is the same as the height.
fix iso8859 fonts. We will only use iso8859-1 fonts as default
fonts.
fix multichar encoding routine. Since we set the default encoding
method (MULTICHAR_ENCODING) in config.h anyway, there is no
need to *guess* the encoding method from locale if user has
not supplied it in command line option or X resources. Now
the encoding routine should be much more clear and simple.
fix multichar encoding list.
fix session restart style, pw init value and callback functions.
fix session restart parameters.
fix man page for the mfont resource case problem.
fix compile error because the const definition of ttydev.
fix configure script for the missing check of limits.h. It is
required on cygwin.
fix xdefaults-sample.txt, giving example to disable tricky hotkeys
that are used by emacs.
fix drawing button frame. Now the buttons should seem more pretty.
fix shortcut key bindings of Shift_Home and Shift_End.
fix rxvt_hotkey_save_config. If HOME environment variable is not
defined, do not call rxvt_save_config.
fix rxvt_Exit_signal, call rxvt_clean_exit directly instead of
sending the signal again to the default signal handler. They
should have the same effect, but the fix may avoid hanging
the terminal.
0.3.10 to 0.3.11
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add Avi Yagodnick's perl script to print escape sequence for
manipulating mrxvt runtime behavior. So users need not to
compile the sample settitle.c any more if they have a perl
interpreter.
add command line option -ddh to avoid loading default hotkeys.
add escape sequence to toggle hotkeys.
add option disableHotkeys to disable hotkeys.
add option confFileSave and hotkey to save the configuration of
current running mrxvt process.
fix default jumpScroll threshold. Increase it to 4 in order to
get better scrolling performance.
fix veryBold font option. Use veryBold font by default because of
the panic screams from the users. ;-)
fix plain scrollbar residual pixels under transparency. Thanks to
Matthieu Serrano for the bug report!
fix off-focus fading wired behavior. It is because the foreground
and background color of GC is not updated in the function
rxvt_set_bg_focused. Therefore, the following text is drawn
using the old color till a color change happens later.
fix X session management crash.
fix file descriptors leak to the child processes.
fix mrxvt hangs on zsh if session management is enabled: we need
to prevent the file descriptor opened by session manager from
being leaked to the child processes. And there is a race
condition when we handle the ICE file descriptor while the
terminal exits.
fix broken configure options (oooops! nobody has reported these
problems ;-).
fix compile error when tinting is disabled but fading is enabled.
fix scrollTtyOutputInhibit.
fix hotkey routines. We optimize it by using function pointers and
merge three individual flags into one integer. Thanks to
Qingning Huo for the suggestions.
fix compile error on rxvt_init_font_fixed if xft is disabled.
fix the name of icon files and description file in mrxvt.SlackBuild
script.
fix documents.
0.3.9 to 0.3.10
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add Scognito's beautiful icons for mrxvt. Now mrxvt has official
icons! :-)
add Pascal Bleser as SuSE package maintainer.
add a new option to synchronize icon name with active tab, based
on Terry Griffin's patch.
add hotkey and escape sequence to toggle background transparency.
This feature is experimental, though. It may not work well
with tinting and other transparency related features.
add .mrxvtrc as the default resource file, so that .Xdefaults is
not filled by mrxvt settings any more. ;-) Update all the
documentations according to this change.
add xftmSize option to specify the size of freetype multichar
fonts. When it is difficult for mrxvt to find the best match
of normal font and multichar font size, the user can adjust
it manually.
add xftSlowOutput option to fix display problem of some CJK fonts,
like YZYuanTi. These fonts claims to have certain width, but
the actual width is smaller. It makes the CJK characters
clustered together with big space between non-CJK characters,
which looks ugly.
add -menu option. Now we can use -menu command line option besides
of the X resource name to load menu.
add hotkeys (Ctrl+Shift+<|>) to reorder active tab. Thanks to
Sergey Popov for the suggestion and patch.
add escape sequence to reorder active tab.
add an option (-vbf) to display color text with bold font. Add
freetype bold font support as well.
add hotkey and escape sequence to toggle very bold font display.
fix hotkey routines. Now we define a set of functionality that can
be done by hotkeys and let the users to define the hotkeys by
themselves. We also have a set of default hotkeys. Thanks to
Qingning Huo for all the hints and suggestions.
remove windowSwitch option since it is not necessary any more.
fix transparent screen refresh after the pixmap of root window has
changed.
fix default encoding method, change it to noenc to avoid troubles
for non-multichar users.
fix rxvt_font_init_xft. Only load the fixed font if xft is used.
This avoid the abort when multichar is enabled, but fallback
X11 fonts are not installed.
fix rxvt_cmd_getc. Previously hack of race condition is incorrect,
so it does not work at all! It is actually not a race
condition, but a signal loss problem if multiple children are
killed simultaneously. This time it should be fixed.
fix configure.ac script. Replace AC_PATH_XTRA with AC_PATH_X. The
latter does not add libXt, libICE automatically. Add libX11
check. Fix fontconfig and xft check, especially for Solaris.
And many thanks to Qingning Huo for testing and pointing out
the problems in configure.ac.
fix MONO_BOLD definition in thai.c.
fix tabbar multichar string display error, especially when normal
text and multichar text are mixed together.
fix scrollTtyOutput inhibit. Instead of using the previous reverse
definition, change it to scrollTtyOutputInhibit.
fix menubar dispatch. If menubar is shown or hidden in dispatcher,
resize the terminal window accordingly.
fix CJK configuration options. Merge them into a single option:
--enable-cjk.
fix session restart style. Previously it is SmRestartImmediately,
which cause gnome session manager to restart it immediately
after an mrxvt terminal quits.
fix FAQ. Update the PS1 tab title synchronization question
according to Jacques Bouchard's suggestion.
fix background pixmap command line option for menubar and tabbar,
make them consistent to the option of scrollbar.
fix tabbar event dispatcher when tabbar buttons are hidden.
fix resource name of scrollbar options. Stuart Midgley pointed
out this issue to me in the man page. Now the resource name
of all scrollbar options are changed to `scrollbarBlahBlah'.
Notice that here `scrollbar' is in lower case. However, I
leave the option scrollBar unchanged, where `B' is in upper
case.
fix Ctrl_1..9 switch. If the current tab is in the second screen,
like running vim, Ctrl_1..9 switch is disabled since it may
be used by the application.
fix primary screen check in tabbar.c, explicitly use PRIMARY. Do
NOT assume it is 0, just like None/NULL check since it is
more safe and portable.
fix configure.ac, xgetdefault option is disabled by default.
(Thanks to Terry Griffin for pointing it out to me)
fix configure.ac, enable SM.h check only if session management
is supported. Otherwise, we may get linking error if libSM
is not presented while SM.h is there (is it possible?).
fix configure.ac, enable libICE check for session management and
libiconv on cygwin, simplify check of libxpg4 and libutil.
fix freetype font size, set scale number to be 1.0 so that the
size/pixel_size = 1.0.
fix freetype multichar font size, optimize for simsun font.
fix debian files according to Qingning Huo's diff file.
fix compile error in pixmap.c when tinting support is disabled
fix Makefile.am, comment out setuid install hook such that mrxvt
will not be installed as setuid by default in the future for
security concern.
fix SlackBuild stript, we will use .tar.gz as source tarball name
instead of .tgz. It seems all the world use it.
update FAQ, CREDITS, README and NEWS.
0.3.8 to 0.3.9
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add a VB script (doc/mrxvt.vbs) to launch mrxvt directly from a
Windows shortcut without a command prompt window for Cygwin
users. This script is contributed by Matthew Melendy
add option to hide/show tabbar buttons. apparently some people
hate the buttons, as some others hate the tabbar ;-)
add hotkey and escape sequence to hide/show tabbar buttons
add further explanation of --enable-everything option in README
add option of user supplied X resource file
add option to avoid loading mfont when using freetype font, this
can avoid large line space
add escape sequence to change tab colors in runtime
add support of X session management, still experimental
add a short tutorial in doc/ directory on how to hack mrxvt and
add new features
add inactive tab highlighting when an inactive tab displays some
new stuff. Remember that is not 100% persistent: it will be
cleared if an tab expose event happens, e.g., creating a new
tab or removing an old tab. But I guess it is enough by now.
If people really concern about it, we can add a flag to each
tab and use that flag to control the highlighting. But that
might be overkill.
fix printing of hold exit string on the screen after a child has
died but is held
fix borderless option, now support GNOME/KDE style hints
fix bug in loading short command line option while long resource
option is set to NULL, like -d
fix freetype font size, turn back to point size instead of pixel
size
fix freetype multichar font loading. If the multichar font is the
same as the normal font, e.g., when encoding method is NOENC,
we use the normal font as multichar font. This eliminate the
problem that the two fonts have different sizes. But this
problem remains when the two fonts are different. This is
because XFT function does not honor the font size we provide.
Is there any way to fix this?
fix internal border, which should be the internal border of the
VT windows, not the mrxvt terminal window!
fix computing of first visible tab and last visible tab. Now use
a function to do it so that we can call this function outside
of tabbar.c, especially when we hide/show tabbar buttons
fix tab title width. Extend it to 507 maximal, but only display
27 characters maximal in tab. Therefore, if we synchronize
the terminal title with tab title, we can display the long
tab title as terminal title without truncation.
fix debian files (thanks to qingning huo)
fix xft font opening routine, print warning message when actually
opened font differs from the font wish to open
fix pty/tty type check on BSD system - they require openpty that
is in libutil. Why it seems unnecessary to fix it on FreeBSD
5.2.1?
fix error logic on updating previous active tab when we create
tabs in sequence and remove them from the right to the left
fix tabbar updating error if the last tab is removed
fix include and library path on BSD systems
fix compile error on macro PARENT_NUMBER if transparent is disabled
fix compile error if scrollbar is not used
fix int-border and ext-border option comments
fix copyright information about rxvt-2.7.10-rk.patch
fix missing lastlog file path on Solaris
fix missing lastlog.h check
fix tainted/untainted macros, use Cqual's notation so that we
may use Cqual to check the source code in the future. It
seems gcc compiler is happy with them. But I am not sure if
other compilers feel happy too. :-)
fix missing fontconfig macros on Mac OS X
fix crashes on Mac OS X when calling times with NULL parameter
fix iconv library check on Mac OS X
fix xft tab title mixed chinese and english
fix default gbk bitmap font
fix terminal window and icon title if user supplies them
fix assert macro (NDEBUG) on non-debug mode. Now if NDEBUG is
defined, we will not have any assertions nor debug messages.
If DEBUG is defined, assertions will always be built in the
program, and we can use DEBUG_VERBOSE to control the debug
message. By default, DEBUG_VERBOSE is not defined. So now it
is clean to build mrxvt with debug support.
fix SlackBuild script
fix man page, add X resource name for each command line option
if applicable
delete unused rxvtRef-frame.html and rxvtRef-toc.html
update LSM.in, FAQ, CREDITS, README and NEWS
0.3.7 to 0.3.8
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add option windowsSwitch to control behavior of Ctrl_Tab. If it is
set, Ctrl_Tab switches to next tab like Windows. Otherwise, it
activates the previous active tab.
add xftfnmono flag if non-CJK font is mono-space
add holdExit option and holdExitText resource on terminal exit
add support of broadcasting input to all terminals
add hot keys to toggle holding exit and broadcasting
add desktop option for gnome compatible window manager
add text shadow mode
add option of transluscent window (true transparent). It requires
translucent support of the X server, like Xorg 6.8. It will
override the pseudo-transparency. Note: without hardware
support to the X server, translucent window can cause
significant performance penalty. You have been warned!!!
add debian control files to build .deb package. Thanks to Xiong
Jiang for help me figure it out.
add checksum field to each terminal for checking rxvt_cmd_getc
fix debug option, disable it by default since we are preparing a
stable branch
fix global command input and output buffer, move them to individual
terminals. This may break something, so let us test it for a
relatively long time.
fix children exiting and clean code, so we can handle the case
that multiple children terminals exit simultaneously. But a
race condition still exists and this code is not robust
enough. Is there any way to handle this?
fix sigchld handling, enable reentrance of this signal handler
fix configure check of iconv.h and libiconv for freetype font
support
fix compile error when background image is disabled while xpm is
enabled
fix scrollbar style so that user can use command line option to
specify it
fix rxvt_set_window_color to restore and switch colors when input
color is actually an index to our color list.
fix shade value if it is changed by escape sequence
fix xftmono flag if the width of freetype CJK font is not even
fix xft font height when mfont and font have different height
fix xft string drawing length after convert it to UTF-8
fix compile error when there is no xft support
fix an assertion failure on possible integer overflow
fix tinting shade performance: if shade is 0, do not shade image
at all
fix global rvideo, rstyle, chstat, lost_multi and multi_byte, move
them to individual terminals
fix the bug that the background color of current VT is tranferred
to the new VT window
fix scrollbar mapping after scrollbar window is created
fix free clip rectangle of tabbar string
fix crash when trying to free session resource strings
fix xterm style reverse video
fix compile errors on openbsd
0.3.6 to 0.3.7
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add experimental support to display Chinese/Japanese when use
freetype font.
add experimental support to display non-monospace freetype font.
Basically, if the font is non-monospace (or normal freetype
font width is not 1/2 of Chinese/Japanese freetype font),
we will output the string one character by one character,
not the entire string. This is a bit slow, but much safe.
add option of multichar freetype font
add option of cursor blinking interval time
add option of borderless window (from gentoo)
add option of override redirect (from gentoo)
add option of bell command (from gentoo)
add option to show tabbar at the bottom of terminal window

add ctrl_tab as hotkey to activate next page (like Windows)
add escape sequence to hide/show menubar/scrollbar
change text shadow command line option
fix desktop option/resource for WindowMaker
fix color residual problem when switch to a new tab
fix buffer overflow in rxvt_tt_printf (from gentoo)
fix sprintf in xdefaults.c
fix EUCJ/SJIS encoding (http://gentoo.nedlinux.nl/distfiles/
rxvt-2.7.10-rk.patch)
fix Next/SGI style scrollbar width (too fat before)
fix selection on 64bit systems (from suse)
fix utmpx check for Interix (from netbsd)
fix bsd os check (from netbsd)
fix window properties, use X11R4 (and later) functions
fix window resizing code
fix compile dependency on Xt header
fix reverse video on individual terminal foreground/background
fix tabbar button vertical position
fix cursor blinking
fix pointer blank
fix possible integer overflow when calling rxvt_malloc
fix focus/off-focus color code
fix fade/shade values, previously they are reversed
fix SlackBuild script
update README and FAQ
0.3.5 to 0.3.6
\-----------------------------------
Jimmy Zhou <jimmyzhou@users.sourceforge.net>
add xft antialias, hinting, autohint, globaladvance, weight,
width, size, slant and rgba options
add option syncTabTitle to synchronize terminal title with tab
title
add support to set foreground and background for individual
terminal. It does not work well with off-focus fading now
add option hideTabbar to hide tabbar on initialization
add hotkey and escape sequence to hide/show tabbar
add option to fade transparent background or background image
since many people have requested this feature :-)
add support to run user's default shell in the /etc/passwd file
if the SHELL environment variable is not defined
fix mouse report mode (hopefully) by moving PrivateModes and
SavedModes from global to individual terminal
fix default PrivateModes by removing PrivMode_aplKP. It seems
that vim clears this flag anyway. However, if anything goes
wrong, we will restore it
fix configure.ac, use xft-config instead of pkg-config to find
xft since some systems do not have pkg-config
fix configure.ac for xft-config's complaint about rejection by
preprocessor.
fix xft font resource name
fix xft font display residual and wipe problems
fix tab title when use xft
fix text shadow when use xft
fix resizing when use xft. But apprently there is something wrong
if we want to destroy the old font pattern. So now we do not
destroy it, which wastes some system resources.
fix active tab title color
fix compile error if background image is disabled
fix document install directory. Hope it is correct now!
0.3.4 to 0.3.5
\-----------------------------------

fix sgi style scrollbar
fix next style scrollbar buttons
fix session init, simplify the logic to choose session
fix big5 encoding and default fonts
fix korea encoding
fix configure.ac to compile mrxvt using -fPIC option by default
so that mrxvt can enjoy the benefit of PIE (position
independent execution). In plaintext, it means mrxvt can be
loaded into random memory location if the system supports it.
It may reduce performance a little bit, e.g., 1% on x86, but
can improve security.

Now the Shift/Ctrl cursor key mappings are enabled regardless of
App-Cursor settings
6. From: Kai Petzke <wpp@mail.physik.TU-Berlin.DE>
Fixed a bug with respect to cursor movement. rxvt now handles the
'G' and 'd' sequences correctly
7. From: Geoff Wing <mason@primenet.com.au>
Fixed a couple of things in utmp.c
8. From: Denis N. Antonioli <antonio@ifi.unizh.ch>
Added the "-tn" option and corresponding Xresource variable "termcap".
This option specifies the name of the terminal type to be set in the
TERM environment variable.
2.20 to 2.21a*
\-------------
1. Oops, forgot to include time headers in menubar.c
2. Finally got the correct DEC sequence to toggling the behaviour
of the backspace key and removed the other non-standard ones.
If anyone has a listing of DEC escape sequences they'd like to
donate ...
3. Fixed a bug that prevented an XPM file from being found if it
were specified with an absolute path and a geometry string.
Made the default scaling zero (tiled) since this is by far the
most popular use.
4. The Motif-style scrollbar is back as a compile-time option.
5. Added BUGS file and (thankfully) moved coordination of the
project to Oezguer Kesim <kesim@math.fu-berlin.de> who also
has a mailing list for rxvt development
Rxvt Workers <rxvt-workers@math.fu-berlin.de>
To subscribe to the list send email to
<rxvt@math.fu-berlin.de> with the body: subscribe
6. Semi-retirement and finish my thesis ... bye for now - /mark
--- Oezguer started working on rxvt
7. Fixed a bug in the new menubar-feature. There were several unchecked
strings strcpy'ed which caused rxvt immediately to dump core.
8. From: Robert Bihlmeyer <robbe@orcus.priv.at>
Fixed a bug in rclock.c which prevented it to compile correctly.
9. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
Overstrike boldfonts and pixmaps now work together without pixel
droppings on the screen (at least under Linux).
10. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
Modified autoconf support: memmove() replacement function
supplied for those systems that need it, libXpm should now be
correctly found (set in src/Makefile *not* in config.h)
11. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
Converted doc/rxvt.ref to HTML format.
doc/html/refer.html = master copy
doc/refer.txt = text version saved using Netscape.
All HTML documents are put in here, to ease installation
elsewhere.
12. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
Moved some file search function from main.c and some string
functions from xdefaults.c to misc.c.
Changed the implementation details so that `keysym' resource
is also available as a command-line long option ... even if
you have compiled with USE_XGETDEFAULT.
13. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
When a new pixmap is loaded, revert to the default scaling.
14. From: Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
Reworked the menubar to permit multiple menubars in a circular
linked list (and all the management functions that entains)
and new functions including the following:
* reading from files
* dumping all the menubars
* clearing a menu (without removing it)
* setting a backgroudPixmap
* and many other features.
The menu syntax has changed very slightly from the last
version, but now provides greater flexibility ... see
refer.html for details.
Added the `menu' resource/long-option so a startup menu
can be specified. eg,
rxvt -menu my.menu -e rlogin machine -l user
2.19 to 2.20
\-----------
1. You can now add snazzy looking menus to any plain (non-X) text
application. At the moment, the menuing system is simple but
functional.
The syntax for controlling the menubar is documented in
doc/rxvt.doc, but note that an XTerm sequence `ESC ] 10; Pt
BEL' is used so menus created for rxvt will be ignored by an
ordinary XTerm.
It provides sub-menus, click-and-drag, and even some user
definable `quick' arrows keys. However menu manipulation
could use refinement to permit multiple menus to be defined --
and the menu refreshing could also use some improvement, but
it can be extended and refined later as required/desired.
The files doc/menu.sh and doc/jedmenu.sl show sample
implementations of menus.
--> It compiles and runs on my machine (AIX 3.2.5)
but THIS IS CONSIDERED BETA (or even ALPHA) CODE!
2. DEC private modes: Bug fix for 's'ave and 'r'estore parameters,
added a 't'oggle parameter to DEC private modes.
3. Made Backspace key selectable with DEC private mode
ESC [ ? 36 h/l/s/r/t (high/low/save/restore/toggle)
4. Changed the way the scrollBar is realized to permit on-the-fly
toggling of the scrollBar display and added a DEC private mode
escape sequence for that. Smoother redraw of scrollBar.
Better proportions for the arrows allows a slightly narrower
scrollBar.
5. Added support for XTerm font changing sequence:
`ESC ] 50; Pt BEL', with (as usual) a few extras.
See doc/rxvt.ref
6. Adapted experimental XPM buffering from that supplied by
Carsten Haitzler <raster@zip.com.au>.
7. Replaced `wait' with `waitpid' in src/command.c::Child_signal
to avoid a race condition and permit use of pclose() on SunOS.
Patch provided by <davis@space.mit.edu>, Thanks John!
8. For easier XPM handling, added `path' resource/long-option and
substantially enhanced pixmap scaling to provide very exact
control over scaling and positioning of the XPM background
image. The XPM XTerm escape sequence has been extended to
provide a convenient facility for on-the-fly rescaling.
Export COLORTERM="rxvt-xpm" instead of COLORTERM="rxvt"
9. Added export COLORFGBG to give hints to color applications.
Typically one of these values is exported, in which `fg' and
`bg' are numbers 00-15:
COLORFGBG="default;default"
-fg -bg colors don't match any of color 0-15
COLORFGBG="fg;default"
-fg color matches color 0-15, but -bg color doesn't
COLORFGBG="default;bg"
-bg color matches color 0-15, but -fg color doesn't
COLORFGBG="fg;bg"
-fg -bg colors match color 0-15
When compiled with XPM support, the last two values are
rendered as follows:
COLORFGBG="default;default;bg"
-bg color matches color 0-15, but -fg color doesn't
COLORFGBG="fg;default;bg"
-fg -bg colors match color 0-15
10. Disable Shift+Prior/Next and scrollBar if saveLines == 0.
Slight change to key-processing so `shift+meta+key' and
`shift+ctrl+key' gets processed as `shift+key'. This provides
a way to avoid interpretating `Shift+Prior', `Shift+Next', and
`Shift+Insert'.
Also, added DEC private mode sequence `ESC [ ? 35 h/l/s/r/t'
to disable Shift+key interpretation.
Provide for Ctrl+Shift+<KEY> combinations for function keys.
See doc/rxvt.ref
11. Always match long-option names, even when only preceded by a
single -/+.
2.18 to 2.19
\-----------
1. Minor alteration to input mode for Kanji processing.
2. rclock: -adjust option, support for exec on startup syntax,
date format may now also include the century
3. Made mouse double-click respect autowrap lines.
4. Added marks for folded editing.
5. Added Offix DND (Drag 'n' Drop) protocol.
Added support for XA_TARGETS.
6. added Carsten Haitzler <raster@zip.com.au> XPM patches to load
an XPM file for the background of the terminal window.
Uses resource `Rxvt.backgroundPixmap' or long-option
`--backgroundPixmap'
7. Use these (XTerm) keybindings exclusively and remove the old
equivalent bindings:
Shift-Prior = scroll up
Shift-Next = scroll down
Shift-Insert = paste mouse selection
Shift-KP_Add = bigger font
Shift-KP_Subtract = smaller font
2.17 to 2.18
\-----------
1. Check for NULL pointers in command-line processing (oops)
Also fixed processing of `hidden' arguments such as -d, -g, -T
2. Fixed terminfo hpa/vpa: was `\E..' instead of `\E[..'
added invisible cursor (ESC[?25h / ESC[?25l)
3. Fixed broken kanji characters (?? and disappeared cursor box ??)
thanks to <manabe@Roy.dsl.tutics.tut.ac.jp>
4. In privileges(), changed setuid/setgid to seteuid/seteguid so that
it's possible to switch back to root later.
Perhaps fixed svr4 problems (reports no tty, no job control) in
get_tty() ... need to detect these SVR4 features in the configure
script.
5. Restored scrollColor, topShadowColor, bottomShadowColor resources
that somehow got lost between the beta and release versions. For
monochrome displays, fixed scrollbar so it will be visible and
suppress color changes.
6. Final? iteration on selection. Store selection text with LF
line-endings but paste into rxvt with CR endings. Selection now
preserves the newline when trailing space is stripped from
non-autowrap lines. Compile-time support for using a keystroke to
paste from the cut-buffer.
7. Fixed utmp.c to handle both sysv and bsd pty names. More changes in
the works to improve documentation and eliminate race conditions ...
this, thankfully, is being done by someone else.
8. Added European language support (X11R6) - let me know of problems
and fixes since I only have X11R5.
9. Changed names of color10-color17 to color8-color15 to match with
those used by color_xterm ... sorry for the inconvenience, but I
didn't have an X11R6 xterm manpage until now and long-term
compatibility is quite important.
Added a real bold font (define USE_BOLDFONT). I still think it's
too much work to avoid pixel droppings for overstrike fonts.
Added support for specifying colors for bold/underline
(colorBD/colorUL) but it's only done when the foreground = the default
foreground ... see the manpage.
Compile-time selection of TERM="xterm-color".
Reduced the number of rarely-used command-line options since they
are accessible on the command-line via their resource names as long
options. More rigid differentiation between long and short options:
long options are --/++ prefixed; short options -/+ prefixed. Added
long-option help to give the resource names.
Removed run-time selection of right-hand scrollbar and arrows.
Removed run-time selection of (pageup_key/pagedown_key/alert_key).
10. Changed Ctrl-Up,Down,Left,Right to emit "\EOa,b,c,d" instead of the
previous "\E[^A,^B,^C,^D" to avoid problems associated with having
an embedded "^C" in a key-sequence. Disallow 80/132 column
switching as the default (same as xterm).
11. Check for seteuid(). Add "ttcompat" module for SVR4.
12. A few people suggested removing the keystroke for toggling MapAlert
and so I have. I agree that it was pointless and/or annoying since
there was no way of determining the current toggled state anyhow.
13. Fixed missing `ttydev' for _sgi. Fixes for BSD utmp support.
Exported WINDOWID before the window was created (oops).
14. Mouse cut&paste of autowrapped lines should be improved, fixed
bug in screen.c::scroll_text().
15. As was pointed by a user -->> in keeping with X conventions, only an
application that starts with 'x' should capitalize the first two
letters of the resource file, so the rxvt resource file (and class
name) should be named Rxvt not RXvt, this is a minor point.
16. rclock: As well as message reminders, rclock can launch programs and
(if no message text is given) act as a cron-type of program. Made
default font `7x14'. Fixed graphics context when mail is waiting
and a reminder is issued - so the message is actually visible!
17. As suggested by a user, changed the bolding algorithm to be slightly
more intuitive:
1. colorBD (if specified)
2. color0-7 -> color8-15 (if possible)
3. boldFont (if specified and found)
4. overstrike (last resort)
This takes advantage of the color capability and is the most
consistent when toggling font sizes on-the-fly. If you never want
overstrike (looks ugly and leaves pixel droppings) or boldFont (you
like to switch font sizes on-the-fly), you can remove them at
compile-time. The other elements are similarly compile-time
selectable.
18. Another user suggestion: scrollbar made more distinct by having the
`trough' a different color from the slider -- I opted for making it
the same as the default background color so that the slider and
arrows appear to `float' on the window. Also removed topShadowColor,
bottomShadowColor resources as unnecessary.
19. Dropped distribution of vttest since Tom Dickey <dickey@clark.net>
is working on an improved version.
2.16 to 2.17
\-----------
1. Fixed problem in scr_refesh_region() that was introduced in v2.16
The problem of `pixel droppings' continues when bold is simulated
using overstrike. Using XCopyArea() sometimes helps, but the
preferred and simplest solution is item 4 below.
2. Removed 7bit mode.
Changed definition of meta so that the ESCAPE is the default and
using meta to set the 8bit on an option that can be made run-time
configurable (assuming people still use this).
Added -/+rv command-line option, resource reverseVideo. NB: it works
slightly differently from xterm's in that foreground/background are
swapped even if they have been explicitly set.
Removed NO_COLOR option -- no more monochrome rxvt (one too #ifdef's).
Inherit existing stty settings (at least for control characters)
and set value of BackSpace appropriately.
Added defines DONT_GUESS_BACKSPACE and NO_DELETE_KEY
3. Added 3D style scrollbar and removed all the old bitmapped
scrollbars and arrows with the only exception being the xterm
lookalike XTERM_SCROLLBAR which is available in a single width.
With arrows, scrollbar behaviour somewhat resembles Motif
behaviour. Without arrows, it's the standard xterm behaviour.
The default scrollbar (defined at compile-time or set by using
scrollBar: True) is to have a scrollbar with arrows arranged on the
right-hand side. The scrollBar resource is now exclusively a boolean
value
scrollbar resources:
scrollColor
topShadowColor
bottomShadowColor
NB: if topShadowColor/bottomShadowColor are unset, their values are
calculated from scrollColor using an algorithm adapted from
fvwm so it shouldn't be too hard to find scrollbar colours that
look good with your window manager and don't consume an entire
colormap.
4. Added smarter handling of bold/blink when applied to the default
fg/bg colours:
If the pixel value of fg/bg matches the pixel value of colour COLOR0
through COLOR7, then applying bold/blink to the default fg/bg will
select the appropriate colour from BOLD0 through BOLD7 instead of
using the overstrike bold.
This seems to be the best way to handle bold/blink attributes when
the foreground/background match and ANSI colour anyhow. For
convenience, it is possible to use colour aliases (next item) for
the foreground/background colours instead.
My preference is a dull Canadian look:
RXvt*foreground: 7
RXvt*background: 10
5. Changed colour aliases (item 7 of last change) and dropped the `#'
prefix. This avoids confusion with the regular #rrggbb format of
specifying colours and is unambiguous since there are no X11 colours
starting with a digit. This also avoids the need to quote the `#'
to protect against shell interpretation.
6. Added colour cursor support.
-cr (cursorColor), as per XTerm -> the (rectangle) cursor colour
-cr2 (cursorColor2), only RXvt -> the text colour.
The cursorColor2 maintains contrast in a colour environment and
is optional.
Thanks Raul Garcia Garcia <rgg@tid.es> for the idea.
Cleaned up scr_refresh (again <sigh>) to avoid some unnecessary
colour changes and removed the reverse video graphics context and
just swap foreground/background colours instead.
7. Typo in command.c: had seteuid() instead of seteguid() <sigh>
Use cfsetospeed()/cfsetispeed() for POSIX termios handling.
8. Ignore the loginShell option/resource for programs that DON'T end
with "sh". A hack but it keeps `rxvt -ls -e rlogin machine' from
failing and I don't know of (m)any shells that don't end in "sh".
9. Hard-code dependencies in Makefiles to avoid using X11 makedepend.
Added check for atexit() to catch the problem that exists on SunOS
but not on Solaris.
10. Collected command-line option parsing and X11 resources into a
single file (xdefaults.c), and introduced a monolithic structure
(with bit-flags for logical options) to eliminate the massive
if-else-if parsing and to reduce possible overlaps/oversights
Short help provided for an incorrect argument.
For more consistency, more flexibility, and fewer switches,
made -grk4/-grk9 options obsolete, and replaced with `-grk mode'.
Added the resource `greek_keyboard' while I was there.
It is also possible to use a `--' or `++' prefix to get so-called
`long options' that correspond to the resource name.
For example,
rxvt +ls -bg Blue
rxvt +loginShell -background Blue
rxvt ++loginShell --background Blue
rxvt ++ls --bg Blue Error!
11. Changed REFRESH_PERIOD to 1 in command.c, the old idea of providing
for fast and furious scrolling needs to be reconsidered so that `cat'
works. Still needs some investigation.
12. Changed scr_poweron(), which corresponds to `ESC c', to also reset
the scrollback buffer.
13. Changed scr_change_screen() (when compiled with NO_SECONDARY_SCREEN)
so that switching from the secondary to primary screen will push the
old secondary screen into the scrollback buffer. This is fairly
useful if your terminfo has have rmcup=\E[?47l\E8, smcup=\E7\E[?47h.
It is NOT particularly useful if rmcup includes \E[2J, like some do.
Running with NO_SECONDARY_SCREEN provides faster switching than
with a real secondary screen and saves memory too.
14. Now that key values have mostly stabilized, moved the compile-time
key choices to "feature.h" ("keys.h" now obsolete).
2.15 to 2.16
\-----------
1. Misc cleanup, rxvt once again passes the vttest (and reverse video
works again). Kanji support tested and seems to be okay. Finally,
an okay set of regular/bold colours. Compile-time option for a
right-side scrollbar.
2. Ctrl-minus now (correctly) generates ^_ [0x1F].
Changed termcap/terminfo to use normal cursor keys instead of
application cursor keys (rmkx/smkx, ke/ks) -- otherwise subsequent
rxvt/xterm starts with the application cursor keys active.
3. Fixed scr_reset() so that resizing is a lot more sensible.
Implemented the equivalent SouthWest resizeGravity (xterm X11R5) so
the bottom line of text on the screen stays fixed. If the window is
made taller, additional saved lines will be scrolled down onto the
screen; if the window is made shorter, lines will be scrolled off
the top of the screen, and the top saved lines will be dropped. The
old resizing code is available with -DOLD_UGLY_RESIZE.
4. Altered code so all man-page documented command-line options will
not trigger errors even if the feature wasn't compiled into rxvt.
Added old, backward compatibility command-line options, but they're
simply ignored. Eventually they can be removed -- perhaps Jan'97?
`-8': use `+7'
`-fat': use `-sb'
`-thin': use `-arrows'
`-meta8thbit' use `-meta8'
`-metaescape' use `-meta'
`-font_list' use `-font1', `-font2', etc.
These ones are just too weird to support:
`-ls-': use `+ls'
`-ma-': use `+ma'
5. Removed secure-keyboard option, too problematic and obscure.
6. First attempt at GNU autoconfig.
Still needs some work, but it's mostly okay.
7. Added minor aliases for foreground/background colours. This permits
colour specifications like -fg "#13" -bg "#10", which would set the
foreground to colour 13 (bright yellow) and the background to colour
10 (bright black). It's not terribly useful yet, but might
eventually be a nice way to have bold/blink colour work even on with
the standard fg/bg colours.
2.14 to 2.15
\-----------
1. Small bug: initial width incorrect when there was no scrollBar.
2. Close the gaping security hole. Renounce setuid/setgid privileges
immediately and only take them up as needed -- chown() or writing
into /etc/utmp.
3. Reverted to using `<' and '>' to toggle smaller/bigger fonts. It
seems that many didn't like KP_Subtract/XK_KP_Add -- conflicts with
some editors, and not all terminals have a Keypad anyhow.
4. Man page reformatted by Piercarlo Grandi <piercarl@sabi.demon.co.uk>
so that it "now is done in the most delightful [sic] elegant 'roff
style :-)"
5. Started to integrate the Kanji support based on old patches from the
Linux-JE (Japanese Extensions) project. Consider it alpha until one
of the JE authors gives it a thorough check.
6. Added compile-time selection of a few different scrollbar widths.
7. When reading X resources, rxvt now recognizes two class names:
"XTerm" and "RXvt". The reason for two distinct names is that there
are many options common between rxvt and xterm -- to which the class
name "XTerm" permits easy access and configuration -- but there are
also several options, notably colours and key-handling, unique to
rxvt but which are useful to share between different rxvt
configurations; the class name "RXvt" permits this.
NB: The "RXvt" class takes precedence (in the event of a clash) and
is the only one ever used for the application defaults file.
8. The initial value used for the Backspace key (^H or ^?) is now
determined from the value of CERASE used to set the termios
structures. This removes the need for the BACKSPACE_AS_DELETE
compile-time option.
2.13 to 2.14
\-----------
1. Default HOTKEY prefix can now be choosen as `meta', `ctrl' or
`shift'. Moved font toggle to KP_Add/KP_Subtract to resemble
resolution toggling of the XFree86 server (Linux) and so that Alt-<
can generate ESC-< for Emacs usage. Man page and usage() reflect
the changes. Note that if you choose the hotkey to be `shift', to
mimic the Linux console scrollback, you'll probably want different
keybindings for mapAlert and Secure.
The choice of the HOTKEY (ctrl or meta) prefix and some of the
key-strings can be compile-time defined in "rxvtkeys.h", although
probably the only changes desired will be in the string value
associated with XK_Delete and in the choice of a HOTKEY (ctrl or
meta) prefix.
Use shift or ctrl to temporarily toggle Backspace from ^H to ^?.
Use shift to temporarily toggle the application keypad.
2. Patch so that setting bold or blink works before or after changing
the colour (it used to only work before changing the colour). Also
added the option of having DOS VGA colours.
Thanks Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>
3. Extensive reworking of pseudo-tty handling and addition of BSD sgtty
terminal handling and new utmpx (Solaris 2.x) support. MANY thanks
to Raul Garcia Garcia (rgg@tid.es).
POSIX wtmp support added by Piet W. Plomp (piet@icce.rug.nl)
Added -/+ut option (resource: utmpInhibit) so you can sometimes be
harder to find :)
4. Finally? cleaned-up selection so that it works properly -- clears a
previously selected region without causing a core dump -- define
NEW_SELECTION.
I believe that this should fix a long-standing problem with the
selection mechanism -- probably back from when selection of the
scrollback was added -- whereby all accounting was done in terms of
screen row values [0 .. RxvtWin.rows-1] plus the current offset
value. The anchor and end points were scrolled with the screen, but
the beginning point wasn't and extending a region that had its
anchor scrolled-off would give complete garbage. The new selection
scheme has lots of bounds-checking (too much?) to prevent these
problems. If PRINT_PIPE is not defined, then you can use
PrintScreen to dump some of the current selection state -- this
should help debugging.
Thanks to John Davis (davis@space.mit.edu) and Piet W. Plomp
(piet@icce.rug.nl) for helping to diagnose the problem.
5. Use information request `ESC [ 8 n' to change the window title
to the current rxvt version so you can find out what version you
have.
6. Added simple code to permit run-time definition of the keysyms
0xFF00 - 0xFFFF if KEYSYM_RESOURCE (for FAKE_RESOURCES only) is
defined. It's not as pretty as that used by xterm since it only
works with keysym values rather that key names, but the impact on
code size is quite minimal. I use it in conjunction with `-name vm'
to remap arrow and function keys for tn3270 ... quite handy.
At the moment the string length is only limited by the line length
(currently 256) used in "resources.c"
The syntax (at the moment) is
rxvt*keysym.0xFFnn: "a string value"
where `nn' is a 2 digit hex value 00 to FF. Of course if there were
an easy and small means of converting key names to keysym values,
then that would be better.
The enclosing quotes are required to start/end with whitespace.
Most of the usual escape values can be used:
\b - backspace
\e - escape
\n - newline
\r - carriage return
\t - tab
\000 - octal number
Anyhow, here's a brief example of what it looks like
in ~/.Xdefaults:
! F11 key - mimic the output of F1
rxvt*keysym.0xFFC8: \e[11~
! F12 key - whatever
rxvt*keysym.0xFFC9: Hello World!\n"\"String\" ends with whitespace "
! Delete key - remap
rxvt*keysym.0xFFFF: "Delete :)"
!Scroll_Lock as flow-control (^S)
rxvt*keysym.0xFF14: \023
7. Oops -- fixed resource name from scrollbar to scrollBar. Fixed
cursor colours to black on white (like xterm) for the scrollbar
cursors, but I've left the xterm (`I'-bar) cursor as foreground on
background because it looks so nice. Allocate all colours when
creating the window so that we don't have to worry about it later
and so that we can avoid potential hassles with colour-hungry
applications like Netscape.
8. Added a way to distinguish an rxvt from an xterm via the obsolete
ESC Z sending the vt100 answer string with 'c' -> 'C'.
Added support for resolving the actual IP number of the host for
remote DISPLAYs. Changed the answer back for ESC[7n to add a
trailing newline to support easier input into the shell. When the
display is local (i.e. :0), we add support for sending the first
non-loopback interface IP number as the DISPLAY instead of just
sending the incorrect ":0". This way telnet/rlogin shells can
actually get the correct information into DISPLAY for xclients.
Courtesy of Chuck Blake <cblake@BBN.COM>
[Note: I've not had a chance to thoroughly test this -- mjo]
2.12 to 2.13
\-----------
1. Shift and Control now only work for non-application mode cursor
keys and with function keys.
2. Override XTerm mouse reporting with either Mod1 or Shift. X11
mouse reporting now properly includes modifier keys (see rxvt.ref).
Although this effectively degenerates to the Control modifier alone
since both Shift and Meta are used to temporarily disable mouse
reporting -- I don't know an easy way around this but that's what
XTerm does, although since it uses Control to pop-up menus, that
doesn't get transmitted either.
3. Moved a few more configuration items from Imakefile to configure.h
4. Added XAPPLOADDIR define to the Imakefile to allow use of the
application defaults file XAPPLOADDIR/RXvt when rxvt has been
compiled with FAKE_RESOURCES. Now, the following files are
checked:
XAPPLOADDIR/RXvt (compile-time defined)
$HOME/.Xdefaults or $HOME/.Xresources
suggested by John Gotts <jgotts@engin.umich.edu>
5. Applied patches by Edward D.H. Liu <dhliu@solar.csie.ntu.edu.tw>
to fix the speed of pasting rxvt's selection to motif, xew or tk.
Finally! reasonable pasting speed to these applications.
6. patches by Gregory Margo <gmargo@newton.vip.best.com>
for xterm-style proportional scrollbar behaviour:
If pointer is near top, scroll one line.
If pointer is near bottom, scroll full page.
refreshPeriod resource and -refresh option ... still wishing
for faster screen refreshing.
7. Bug fix for partial matches (FAKE_RESOURCES). In addition to
resources for resource name `rxvt', also get resources for class
name `XTerm' as well. Remove checking for `command' resource since
it's not found in xterm nor was there any code in place to parse the
command arguments ... better just to use the command-line -e option.
Replace `fontList' with font1, font2, ... etc. for better xterm
compatibility and for ease of configuration. Changed processing of
string resources and command-line string options to avoid allocating
redundant memory.
8. Previously selected region is now properly cleared when Button1 is
pressed. Still have problems with click-and-drag when Mod1 or Shift
is used to override mouse reporting -- argh! Until someone gets
this properly patched, use Button1 followed by Button3 (to extend
region) in these instances.
9. Understands ANSI set default fg/bg colour (\E[39m / \E[49m)
10. In the screen accounting used in screen.c, use a '\n' to terminate
wrapped lines instead of '\0'. This should avoid mouse selection of
wrapped lines from including a bogus newline. No known
side-effects, but changes isolated by #define NEW_WRAPTYPE.
2.11 to 2.12
\-----------
1. Extra functionality for XTerm mouse report mode. If mouse reporting
is enabled (the application will handle mouse events) the normal
scrollbar operation is disabled -- instead rxvt sends UP/DOWN for
the arrow buttons and PageUp/PageDown when Button1 or Button3 are
clicked on the scrollbar. Use Mod1 (Alt) key to get the normal
scrollbar/arrow button actions and also to get the normal selection
functions -- so that you can still cut/paste between X applications.
2. New colour possibilities -- 16 colours. Instead of using fatter
characters, a bold attribute now uses a brighter foreground colour.
Similarly, a blink attribute will use a brighter background colour.
It is also possible to choose these colours through the resources
(color0 -- color7) permit specification of the ANSI colours (black,
red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white), the resources
(color10 -- color17) are the brighter bold/blink equivalents.
Define USE_FAKE_BOLD to disable.
3. Extensive clean-up of source and headers to separate
interdependencies, remove unused variables. Introduced static
variables wherever possible to limit scoping and reduced the number
of external variables.
4. Allow NumLock to toggle on/off the application keypad.
Backspace sends '\b', Ctrl-Backspace sends '\177'.
Define BACKSPACE_AS_DELETE to reverse these values or use the
escape sequence:
ESC [ 36 h Backspace key sends BS
ESC [ 36 l Backspace key sends DEL
XK_End used to send "\033Ow", which is identical to XK_KP_7 and
confuses EDT-type editors. Now,
Home = "\033[7~"
End = "\033[8~"
Changed Alert & Secure keys from Alt-i & Alt-s to Alt-I & Alt-S so
they aren't so easily toggled.
5. Extra keystroke info. Pass Control and Shift indicators for
function keys (similar to the XJed editor)
eg,
F1 = ESC [11~
C-F1 = ESC [11^
S-F1 = ESC [11$
also, pass indication of shift status for arrow-keys
eg,
Up, Down, Right, Left
= ESC [A, ESC [B, ESC [C, ESC [D
S-Up, S-Down, S-Right, S-Left
= ESC [a, ESC [b, ESC [c, ESC [d
You wouldn't be able to use these keys for termcap/terminfo
applications, but the key sequences are available for remapping
within an application.
6. Added configure.h which is included by each source file and by the
Imakefile. Common compilation defines are now all contained in
configure.h with minor system defines remaining in Imakefile --
makes it much easier to configure. Used XCOMM macro in Imakefile so
that it actually works. Also added defaults.h for defining
user-specific startup defaults.
7. Added rxvt.ref to provide documentation of the various terminal
sequences that are processed. Updated man page to reflect changes.
8. Use xterm-style -/+ to turn on/off options, rationalized resource
names to more closely resemble xterm.

9. Fixed Button actions for XTerm-style scrollbar so that Button1 and
Button3 do different things as they are supposed to. Replace -/+fat
with -/+sb and -/+arrows for more consistency with XTerm. Decreased
width of `fat' scrollbar (make closer to xterm) and increased width
of `thin' scrollbar (arrows too small) -- they are now the same
width. Also made it possible to remove the scrollbar altogether.
Added a visual bell.
Added many more defines to further reduce code size for various
cases, see "configure.h". It is also possible to alter settings in
"defaults.h" for configuration options that will only affect
screen.c and xsetup.c, this should help with compile-time
customization for those who don't want to use Xdefaults.
Added the define REPLACE_SELECTION_NEWLINE to make the substitution
of newlines with carriage returns for selection pasting a
compile-time option.
10. Fixed the graphics samples so that if you want to it's actually
possible to compile them. Added -name command-line option so that
it's possible to select different sets of resources.
11. Integrated initial support for X11 mouse reporting and added
Shift + Function Keys support.
2.10 to 2.11
1. If NEW_COLOR_MODEL is defined in screen.c, the new model I described
in an earlier email is used. (apparantly there are two, slightly
differnt models for using color extensions in a vt-compatible
terminal. This flag lets you switch.
2. If XTERM_MOUSE_REPORT is defined in command.c, mouse reporting is
turned on/off via the appropriate escape sequences. XTerm already
provides this support.
3. If .Xdefaults does not exist, .Xresources is searched for. It seems
that many here use .Xresources.
2.09 to 2.10
1. Really fixed the color problem (?) Got color-ls, and it works now.
2. Added patch to allow run-time selection of font list.
2.07 to 2.09
1. Fixed some color-usage errors.
2. Added double and triple-click support
compliments of ah@doc.ic.ac.uk (Angelo Haritsis)
3. Added Print Screen capability, as in most vt-100's
2.06 to 2.07
1. Fixed problems with rxvt screwing up tty permisssions (?)
2.03 to 2.06
1. Fixed a limit which imposed a maximum width for the
terminal window of 255 characters. There is no limit now.
2. Made provision for applications to get mouse-click feedback
when user clicks in a graphics window. See graphics_sample
2.02 to 2.03
1. Fixed memory management just a little.
2.0 to 2.02
1. Bug fixes for color and graphics.
1.97 to 2.0
1. Added ANSI color support. Compile with -DCOLOR
2. Added a graphics mode. Compile with -DGRAPHICS
1.96 to 1.97
1. Bug in refresh() which was causing slow refreshes after
clear-screens was fixed. Showed up during emacs start-up.
1.95 to 1.96
1. rxvt did bad things if it received mouse - Motion events
without a preceeding button-press. Fixed.
1.94 to 1.95
1. Created a substitute for XGetDefaults, which seemed to account for
1/2 to 2/3 of the memory used by rxvt (according to the SIZE field
of ps output). My substitute only reads the .Xdefaults file. Compile
with -DFAKE_RESOURCES to get my mini- XDefaults handling,
-DREAL_RESOURCES to keep XGetDefault.
1.93 to 1.94
1. Fixed some minor long-standing errors in the vt100 emulation.
2. Fixed ALT-<char> handling in command.c
3. Fixed minor bug with start-of-selection location.
4. Added xterm-type "extend selection" feature using
mouse button 3. Button 1 always starts a new selection. Button3
tries to extend the current selection if possible.
5. Fixed problem with bold-face fonts overflowing into
the next character for some fonts.
1.92 to 1.93
1. ran gprof to find bottle-necks in the code. Halved user
time, but had little effect on total time required to
update the display. Seems worth keeping for the more efficient
user-time, though. At this point, I think that most of the elapsed
time is spent waiting for input or waiting for the X buffers
to flush.
2. Used to refresh the screen every 2.2 screen-fulls during
flat-out scrolling. Really cuts down on scroll-time. Now,
refresh every screen-full (or when there's a pause in activity),
but when flat-out scrolling starts, decrease the refresh period,
so that its every 10th screenful after a little while. This has
no noticeable visible effect, since the scrolling text is
absolutely unintelligible anyway, but will improve the scroll
"feel" when doing just one or two screenfulls, ie in an ls -l.
3. Surrounded the code which uses XCopyArea with #ifdef's
I have never seen this help performance, but I think that there
may be some video-systems which benefit from this, particularly
in a full-screen editor or slow scrolling type of setting.
4. Performance in flat out scrolling, text only, on a sparc-10,
displaying rxvt on an HDS x-terminal:
nation@snoopy>/usr/bin/time rxvt -e cat k
6.1 real 3.1 user 2.5 sys
nation@snoopy>/usr/bin/time xterm -e cat k
40.8 real 4.6 user 3.4 sys
1.91 to 1.92
1. Added greek-keyboard support patches.
1.85 to 1.91
1. assorted minor patches
1.82 to 1.85
1. Fixed ESC c handling.
2. Fixed minor selection handling bug.
1.81 to 1.82
1. Fixed slow refresh during selection process
2. Fixed problem of not correctly clearing selections of 1 character.
1.80 to 1.81
1. Fixed some scrolling problems, problems with partially obscured
windows.
2. Added some neat debugging capability in debug.c
3. Patched up rclock.
1.74 to 1.80
1. Fixed core dump from selecting past the bottom of the screen
2. Fixed a few escape sequences, per the vttest program
3. Broke and fixed handling of moved/resize/new-font handling.
4. Still can't change tab stops correctly.
5. Ran vt-100 test suite. Added capability to change tab stops
and enter reverse video, and to switch from 80 to 132
columns and back. Fixed a seg-fault in scroll().
1.70 to 1.74
1. Fixed cursor drawing errors.
2. Improved smoothness of scroll-back operations.
3. Applied some SVR4 patches.
4. Applied HPUX patches, and a few cursor display patches
5. Fixed up font-changing routines a bit.
6. Fixed a scrolling problem for windows taller than the scroll-back
buffer.
1.6 to 1.7
1. Fixed the problem with random rendition flags in the scroll
back buffer
2. Fiddled with re-drawing on the scroll-bar, and with
how often refreshing occurs.
3. Incorporated some AIX patches.
4. Included #ifdef'd changes to support vt100 printer.
5. Fixed send_string routine, so that it doesn't loose
data.
6. Complete re-write of screen.c
1.5 to 1.6
1. Removed all use of a seperate bold font. Now uses
over-striking exclusively.
2. Added some more optimizations for drawing speed when
the window is re-sized or moved.
3. Implemented speed ups in screen.c
1.47 to 1.48
1. Cleaned up re-drawing on expose events, so rxvt only
re-draws the newly exposed parts of the screen.
2. Fixed backspace, which must have broken in 1.45.
3. Added command line option of iconic startup.
from 1.45 to 1.47
1. Incorporated improved bsd utmp handling from
dperry@ringer.cs.utsa.edu (David Perry)
2. Fixed a very minor bug where the solid-cursor can leave a
a bit of a ghost when you resize the window. Its stupid,
but it always bothered me.
from 1.4 to 1.45
1. Fixed scrolling error when switching to larger fonts
2. Fixed utmp-entry removal for SYSV type systems.
3. Icorportated patches for FreeBSD and svr4
