From: Bernard PERROT + Mark Olesen + Fixed a bug that prevented to handle DEC VT2xx's ApLineDel correctly + + 5. From: + Mark Olesen + Now the Shift/Ctrl cursor key mappings are enabled regardless of + App-Cursor settings + + 6. From: Kai Petzke + Fixed a bug with respect to cursor movement. rxvt now handles the + 'G' and 'd' sequences correctly + + 7. From: Geoff Wing + Fixed a couple of things in utmp.c + + 8. From: Denis N. Antonioli + 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 who also + has a mailing list for rxvt development + + Rxvt Workers + + To subscribe to the list send email to + 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 + Fixed a bug in rclock.c which prevented it to compile correctly. + + 9. From: Mark Olesen + Overstrike boldfonts and pixmaps now work together without pixel + droppings on the screen (at least under Linux). + + 10. From: Mark Olesen + 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 + 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 + 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 + When a new pixmap is loaded, revert to the default scaling. + + 14. From: Mark Olesen + 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 . + + 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 , 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+ 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 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 + + 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 + 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 for the idea. + Cleaned up scr_refresh (again ) 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() + 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 + 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 + + 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 + [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 + + 5. Applied patches by Edward D.H. Liu + 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 + 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. + + Option Resource + -help - + -display displayname - + -geometry geom geometry: + -bg color background: + -fg color foreground: + -color color color: + where = [0-7], 1[0-7] + -fn fontname font: + -fontList names fontList: ... + -name string - + -/+ls loginShell: True/False + -/+ma mapAlert: True/False + -/+vb visualBell: True/False + -/+sb scrollbar: True/False + -/+arrows scrollbar: Arrows/True/False + -ic - + -meta8 meta: 8bit + -/+meta meta: True/False + -sl number saveLines: + -grk4 - + -grk9 - + -print-pipe name pipe-pipe: + -e command
