18 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
19 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
20 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
21 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
22 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
23 special privileges.
24 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
25 itself.
26 - new extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
27 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
28 similar stuff.
29 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
30 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
31 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
32 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
33 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
34 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
35 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
36 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
37 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
38 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
39 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
40 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
41 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
42 to set the window title.
43 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
44 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
45 at the wrong time.
46 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
47 anymore.
48 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
49 - nuked QNX support.
50 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
51 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
52
537.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
54 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
55 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
56 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
57 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
58 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
59 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
60 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
61 and much much more.
62 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
63 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
64 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
65 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
66 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
67 setuid/setgid.
68 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
69 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
70 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
71 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
72 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
73 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
74 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
75 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
76 compatible, and not really small either.
77 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
78 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
79 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
80 to crashes.
81 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
82 colours.
83 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
84 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
85
866.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
87 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
88 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
89 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
90 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
91 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
92 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
93 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
94 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
95 by Mikachu).
96 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
97 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
98 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
99 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
100 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
101 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
102 - fix directory permissions on install.
103 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
104 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
105 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
106 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
107 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
108
1096.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
110 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
111 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
112 Chuck Blake.
113 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
114 obscure the mouse cursor position.
115 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
116 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
117 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
118 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
119 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
120 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
121 transfer efficiency.
122 - further minor cleanups.
123
1246.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
125 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
126 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
127 while the user still drags.
128 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
129 not drawn correctly.
130 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
131 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
132 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
133 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
134 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
135 stripping whitespace.
136 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
137 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
138
1396.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
140 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
141 - enable slow link support by default.
142 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
143 (also a bug in original rxvt).
144 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
145 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
146 partial patch).
147 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
148 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
149 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
150 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
151 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
152 - implement -hold option.
153 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
154 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
155 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
156 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
157 - slight overall speed improvements.
158 - considerably improved code clarity.
159 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
160 buffer.
161
1625.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
163 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
164 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
165 (matters only for rxvtd).
166 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
167 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
168 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
