14 12
155.2 13 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
14 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
15 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
16 too), and were not restored properly (same as xterm here).
17 Affected are only systems using non-unix ptys (such as most
18 BSDs, not GNU/Linux).
19 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
20 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
21 by Mikachu)
22 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
23 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
24 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
25 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
26 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
27 - fix directory permissions on install.
28 - improved sched_yield support.
29
306.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
31 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
32 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
33 Chuck Blake.
34 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
35 obscure the mouse cursor position.
36 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
37 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
38 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
39 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
40 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
41 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
42 transfer efficiency.
43 - further minor cleanups.
44
456.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
46 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
47 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
48 while the user still drags.
49 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
50 not drawn correctly.
51 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
52 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
53 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
54 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
55 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
56 stripping whitespace.
57 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
58 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
59
606.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
61 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
62 - enable slow link support by default.
63 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
64 (also a bug in original rxvt).
65 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
66 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
67 partial patch).
68 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
69 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
70 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
71 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
72 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
73 - implement -hold option.
74 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
75 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
76 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
77 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
78 - slight overall speed improvements.
79 - considerably improved code clarity.
80 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
81 buffer.
82
835.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
84 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
85 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
86 (matters only for rxvtd).
87 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
88 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
89 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
90
915.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
92 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
93 If you want the old behaviour, try:
94 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
95 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
96 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
97 percentage by 100-percentage.
98 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
99 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
100 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
101 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
102 windows.
103 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
104 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
105 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
106 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
107 - replaced INSTALL file.
108
1095.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
110 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
111 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
112 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
113 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
114 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
115 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
116 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
117 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
118
1195.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
120 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
121 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
122 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
123 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
124 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
125 Affects display in iso14755 box.
126 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
127 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
128 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
129 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
130 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
131 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
132 cutting pieces off of characters.
133 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
134 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
135 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
136 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
137 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
138 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
139 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
140
1415.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
142 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
143 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
144 meaning of the given key.
145 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
146 (patch by Martin Edlman).
147
1485.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
149 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
150 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
151 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
152 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
153 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
154 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
155 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
156 to disable it.
157
1585.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
159 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
160 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
161 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
162 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
163 with modifiers.
164 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
165 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
166 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
167 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
168 and clear the scrollback buffer.
169
