This is a bug fix and feature enhancement release. [[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] This is the first release specific for cygwin-1.7. There are a few minor differences the between this package and the simultaneously- released rxvt-20050409-10 for cygwin-1.5, other than the typical documentation-related ones. Various changes in coreutils for cygwin- 1.7 required additional build system changes in rxvt, but also rxvt for cygwin-1.7 uses the new 1.7 path conversion API. CHANGES (from rxvt-20090409-9) =========================== o Fork for cygwin-1.7 development o Use cygutils to create shortcuts in Start Menu o Post-install script no longer overwrites configuration file /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt. o Pre-remove script no longer removes configuration file /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt if it has been customized. o Update to most recent libtool o Switch default font (in X mode) to Courier. This avoids possible dependency on not-common font-bitstream-vera-ttf package. o Remove font-* package from requires. This means that rxvt-x will be "broken" with default installation. BUT if you install the X libraries and X server, then surely the basic font-bitstream-type1 package would also be installed...However, it also means that (typical) native- only users will not be forced to install mkfontdir, mkfontscale, fontconfig, font-encodings, and all of THEIR dependencies. o New command-line parameter "-cd directory" which starts rxvt in the given directory. This allows you to set up a context menu item for Windows Explorer directly, without requiring chere. The registry entry would be: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Shell...\command] @="c:\\cygwin\\bin\\rxvt.exe -cd \"%1\"" (along with whatever other command line arguments you wish). Contributed by Mark Robinson o New command-line parameter "-swapButtons" or "-bs" (since "sb" is already allocated). This option swaps the middle and right mouse buttons thus making life a little easier for those folks with 2-button mice, or who don't wish to use the scroll wheel as the third button. Contributed by Mark Robinson o Fixed bugs in man page o Added syslog support to libW11 via custom DllMain(). This will help in the future to debug libW11 operation. In fact, has already been used to... o Restore Alt-Space behavior (e.g. pass thru to windows, to allow access to Minimize/Maximze/Restore menu).
