14 | 9.0 |
|
|
15 | - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't |
|
|
16 | span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. |
|
|
17 | - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. |
|
|
18 | - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection |
|
|
19 | code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases |
|
|
20 | :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. |
|
|
21 | - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now |
|
|
22 | being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. |
|
|
23 | - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up |
|
|
24 | and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code. |
|
|
25 | - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, |
|
|
26 | to set the window title. |
|
|
27 | |
|
|
28 | 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006 |
|
|
29 | - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about |
|
|
30 | SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. |
|
|
31 | - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and |
|
|
32 | option-popup extensions enabled by default. |
|
|
33 | - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect |
|
|
34 | will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. |
|
|
35 | - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support |
|
|
36 | and much much more. |
|
|
37 | - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. |
|
|
38 | - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. |
|
|
39 | - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. |
|
|
40 | - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. |
|
|
41 | - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started |
|
|
42 | setuid/setgid. |
|
|
43 | - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a |
|
|
44 | side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. |
|
|
45 | - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. |
|
|
46 | - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast. |
|
|
47 | - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic. |
|
|
48 | - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
49 | - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler. |
|
|
50 | - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really |
|
|
51 | compatible, and not really small either. |
|
|
52 | - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support. |
|
|
53 | - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file. |
|
|
54 | - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead |
|
|
55 | to crashes. |
|
|
56 | - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all |
|
|
57 | colours. |
|
|
58 | - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode. |
|
|
59 | - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering. |
|
