This reverts a commit and a regression with cursor move with wide glyphs, for example with GNU readline.
2024-03-20
Below are some highlights of the changes for the recent releases of dmenu, dwm, st and tabbed, see the git logs for all details:
General small Makefile improvements, rationale being: just be verbose and show what is done: do not abstract/hide details from the user/developer. Respect (more) the package manager and build system flags (CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc).
dwm:
- Improvements to signal handling.
- Fix: Avoid missing events when a keysym maps to multiple keycodes.
- Reduce memory usage for reading the lines.
- Fix: X11 BadMatch error when embedding on some windows.
st:
- Fix: bounds checks of dc.col.
- Fix: buffer overflow when handling long composed input.
- Ignore C1 control characters in UTF-8 mode.
- Improvements to cell handling and wide characters.
- Default config: decrease the default minlatency.
- Various other terminal fixes and compatibility improvements.
- Fix: faulty zombie process reaping.
- Improvements to signal handling.
- Improve compatibility with compiling on older systems such as Slackware 11.
Thanks to all contributors who submitted patches.

suckless.org now supports TLS using Let's Encrypt. Cloning git repos over HTTPS now works. Some links on the page have been changed to allow both HTTP and HTTPS.
HSTS is not fully working yet. This will be fixed.
The IPv6 AAAA record was added and IPv6 is fully working now.
suckless has many subdomains, these should hopefully all work via TLS. If you see a subdomain without a signed certificate please report it. If you find any broken links on the wiki pages, these can be fixed by anyone.
