166.2
17 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably
18 most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty,
19 resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal.
20 Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley.
21 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
22 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
23 Chuck Blake.
24 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
25 obscure the mouse cursor position.
26 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
27 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
28 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
29 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
30 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
31 - try to use sched_yield to improve terminal data transfer efficiency.
32 - further minor cleanups.
33
346.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
35 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
36 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
37 while the user still drags.
38 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
39 not drawn correctly.
40 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
41 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
42 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
43 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
44 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
45 stripping whitespace.
46 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
47 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
48
496.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
50 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
51 - enable slow link support by default.
52 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
53 (also a bug in original rxvt).
54 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
55 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
56 partial patch).
57 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
58 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
59 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
60 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
61 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
62 - implement -hold option.
63 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
64 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
65 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
66 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
67 - slight overall speed improvements.
68 - considerably improved code clarity.
69 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
70 buffer.
71
725.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
73 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
74 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
75 (matters only for rxvtd).
76 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
77 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
78 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
79
805.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
81 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
82 If you want the old behaviour, try:
83 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
84 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
85 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
86 percentage by 100-percentage.
87 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
88 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
89 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
90 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
91 windows.
92 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
93 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
94 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
95 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
96 - replaced INSTALL file.
97
985.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
99 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
100 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
101 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
102 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
103 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
104 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
105 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
106 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
107
1085.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
109 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
110 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
111 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
112 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
113 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
114 Affects display in iso14755 box.
115 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
116 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
117 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
118 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
119 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
120 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
121 cutting pieces off of characters.
122 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
123 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
124 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
125 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
126 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
127 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
128 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
129
1305.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
131 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
132 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
133 meaning of the given key.
134 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
135 (patch by Martin Edlman).
136
1375.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
138 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
139 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
140 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
141 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
142 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
143 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
144 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
145 to disable it.
146
1475.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
148 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
149 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
150 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
151 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
152 with modifiers.
153 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
154 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
155 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
156 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
157 and clear the scrollback buffer.
158
1595.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
160 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
161 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
162 a command.
163 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
164 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
165 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
166 in Perl/Gtk2.
167 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
168 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
169 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
170 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
171 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
172 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
173 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
174 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
175 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
176 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
177 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
178 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
179 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
180 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
181 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
182 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
183 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
184 rxvt-unicode).
185 - get rid of the intpro files.
186
1875.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
188 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
189 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
190 (Kuang-che Wu).
191 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
192 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
193 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
194 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
195 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
196 along with other, similar, cleanups.
197 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
198 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
199 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
200 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
201 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
202 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
203
2045.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
205 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
206 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
207 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
208 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
209 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
210 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
211 his patience and time in tracking this down).
212 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
213 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
214 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
215 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
216 by Joël Riou).
217 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
218 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
219 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
220 - shaved off some code segment size.
221 - various code cleanups.
222 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
223
2244.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
225 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
226 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
227 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
228 -pixmap is active.
229 - new option/resource imFont.
230 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
231 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
232 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
233 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
234 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
235 (WU Fengguang).
236 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
237 examples (rxvt.1).
238 - removed src/test completely.
239 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
240
2414.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
242 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
243 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
244 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
245 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
246 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
247 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
248 resulting in segfaults.
249 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
250 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
251 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
252 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
253 (Mikael Magnusson).
254 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
255 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
256 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
257 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
258 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
259 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
260 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
261 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
262 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
263 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
264 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
265 - initialize the locale much earlier.
266 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
267
2684.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
269 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
270 black on initial startup.
271 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
272 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
273 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
274 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
275 additional multimedia keys.
276 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
277 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
278
2794.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
14 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even 280 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
15 if it slows down large pastes. 281 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
282 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
283 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
284 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
285 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
286 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
287 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
288 ignored.
289 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
290 instead.
291 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
292 (reported by hednod).
293 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
294 - fix atom name enumeration.
