Comparing rxvt-unicode/Changes (file contents):
Revision 1.236 by root, Wed Aug 25 04:16:33 2004 UTC vs.
Revision 1.1146 by sf-exg, Sat Apr 26 14:07:47 2014 UTC

1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3xfree86's xterm).
4 2
5TODO: implement xterm keymap option, for full TERM=xterm compliance. 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
6TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
7TODO: tabbed windows 5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
8TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15WISH: coloured pastebin
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts
19TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
20TODO: command line editing when icanon?
21TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
22TODO: catch exceptions when calling perl hooks
23TODO: xdbe
24TODO: optimise bg reeval for resize for common patterns (pixmap bigger than window?)
25TODO: pack rxvt_fatal messages into the exception object
26TODO: load must not cache, but global image cache must be cleaned
27TODO: provide something like % for easy access for parse_keysym
28TODO: description into --help output?
29TODO: rxvt -help => (see rxvt-XXX(1))?
30TODO: xor_rect should shift right
31TODO IMPL: recalc bg only when not fully covering (no alpha, repeat|extend etc..)
32
33TODO IMPL: colour-change event with index
34TODO IMPL: recalc bg always on bg colour change
35
36 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
37 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
38 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
39 in secure mode (reported by Phillip Hallam-Baker).
40 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
41 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
42 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
43 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
44 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
45 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
46 the CLIPBOARD selection.
47 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
48 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
49 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
50 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
51 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
52 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
53
549.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
55 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
56 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
57 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
58 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
59 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
60 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
61 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
62 function.
63 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
64 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
65
669.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
67 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
68
699.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
70 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
71 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
72 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
73 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
74 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
75 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
76 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
77 Münnich).
78 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
79 are disabled.
80
819.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
82 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
83 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
84 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
85 Hemmer).
86 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
87 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
88 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
89 patch by Jan Larres).
90 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
91 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
92 as diagnosed by clang.
93 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
94 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
95 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
96 nickfailure@gmail.com).
97 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
98 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
99 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
100 for details.
101 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
102 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
103 which show up in -help etc.
104 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
105 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
106 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
107 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
108 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
109 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
110 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
111 - remove support for libafterimage.
112 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
113 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
114 libptytty instead.
115 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
116 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
117 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
118 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
119 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
120
1219.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
122 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
123 thinks thats an error.
124 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
125 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
126 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
127 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
128 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
129 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
130 and destination in composite operations.
131 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
132 for tabs.
133 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
134 Sung Pae).
135 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
136 - fix -C option on solaris.
137
1389.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
139 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
140 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
141 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
142 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
143 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
144 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
145 to disable both scaling and tiling.
146 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
147 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
148 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
149 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
150 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
151 in the next release.
152 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
153 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
154 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
155 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
156 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
157 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
158 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
159 Filardo).
160 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
161 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
162 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
163 the cell size.
164 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
165 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
166 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
168 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
169 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
170 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
171 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
172 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
173 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
174 (Bob Farrell).
175 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
176 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
177 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
178 Pohlack).
179 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
180 Michael Stapelberg).
181 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
182 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
183 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
184 edge (Mikachu).
185 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
186 handle exceptions better.
187 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
188 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189
1909.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
191 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
192 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
193 support the UTF8_STRING target.
194 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
195 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
196 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
197 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
198 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
199 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
200 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
201 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
202 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
203 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
204
2059.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
206 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
207 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
208 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
209 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
210 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
211 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
213 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
214 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
215 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
216 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
217 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
218 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
219 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
220 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
221 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
222 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
223 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
224 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
225 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
226 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
227 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
228 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
229 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
230 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
231 with gcc.
232 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
233 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
234 - document 'thickness' resource.
235 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
236 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
237 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
238 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
239 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
240 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
241 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
242 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
243 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
244 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
245 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
246
2479.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
248 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
249 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
250 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
251 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
252 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
253 failures with gcc 4.5.
254 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
255 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
256 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
257 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
258 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
259 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
260 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
261 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
262 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
263 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
264 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
265 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
266 and has fewer limitations.
267 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
268 startup for the upper left corner.
269 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
270 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
271 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
272 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
273 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
274 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
275 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
276 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
277 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
278 - fix build on XFree86.
279 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
280 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
281 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
282 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
283
2849.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
285 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
286 - the bestest release ever.
287 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
288 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
289 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
290 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
291 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
292 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
293 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
294 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
295 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
296 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
297 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
298 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
299 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
300 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
301 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
302 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
303 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
304 characters other than first one in the selected cell
305 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
306 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
307 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
308 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
309 (found by Mikachu).
310 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
311 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
312 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
313 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
314 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
315 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
317 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
318 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
319 for 256 colours.
320 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
321 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
322 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
323 88*88 possible pairs.
324 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
325 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
326 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
327 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
329 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
330 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
331 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
332 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
333 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
334 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
335 backspacekey was given.
336 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
337 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
338 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
339 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
340 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
341 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
342
3439.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
344 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
345 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
346 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
347 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
348 Mikachu).
349 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
350 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
351 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
352 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
353 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
354 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
355 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
356 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
357 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
358 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
359 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
360 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
361 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
362 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
363 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
364 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
365 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
366 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
367 - update to libptytty 1.3.
368 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
369 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
370 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
371 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
372 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
373 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
374 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
375 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
376 in need of fixing. go figure.
377 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
378 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
379 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
380 the new ->selection_screen method.
381 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
382 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

384 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
385 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
386 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
387
3889.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
389 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
390 - updates libev to 3.48.
391 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
392 when a window was closed.
393 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
394 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
395 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
396 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
397 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
398 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
399 makes copy&paste work.
400 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
401 no longer apply.
402 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
403 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
404 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
405 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
406 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
408 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
409 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
410 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
411 the only known workaround.
412 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
413 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
414 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
415 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
416 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
417 disabling size hints.
418 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
419 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
420 as mouse reporting.
421 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
422 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
423 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
424 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
425 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
426 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
427 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
428 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
429 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
430 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
431 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
432 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
433
4349.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
435 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
436 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
437 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
438 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
439 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
440 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
441 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
442 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
443 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
444 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
445 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
446 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
447 help working window managers as well.
448 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
449 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
450 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
451 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
452 from the toplevel window to the children.
453 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
454 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
455 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
456 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
457
4589.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
459 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
460 - fix build with !xft.
461 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
462
4639.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
464 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
465 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
466 received" problem, again :)
467 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
468
4699.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
470 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
471 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
472 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
473 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
474 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
475 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
476 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
477 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
478 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
479 channels or background images are used.
480 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
481 till the first event arrives. or so.
482 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
483 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
484 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
485 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
486 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
487 resets the terminal.
488 - scrollbar code cleanups.
489 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
490 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
491 - updated to libev 3.0.
492
4938.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
494 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
495 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
496 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
497 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
498 would not clear it visually in another.
499 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
500 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
501 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
502 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
503 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
504 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
505
5068.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
507 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
508 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
509 effects.
510 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
511 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
512 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
513 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
514 text was visible.
515 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
516 some minor improvements.
517 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
518 display and not once per terminal window.
519 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
520
5218.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
522 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
523 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
524 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
525
5268.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
527 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
528 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
529 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
530 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
531 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
532 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
533 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
534
5358.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
536 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
537
5388.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
539 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
540 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
541 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
542 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
543 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
544 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
545 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
546 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
547 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
548 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
549 - parallel builds should work once more.
550
5518.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
552 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
553 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
554 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
555 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
556 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
557 missing DISPLAY.
558 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
559 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
560 - updated io_manager.
561
5628.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
563 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
564 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
565 /usr/X11R6/lib.
566 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
567 patch by Sasha Vasko.
568 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
569 (patch by Philip Paeps).
570 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
571 (patch by Mikachu).
572 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
573 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
574 digit (exg).
575 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
576 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
577 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
578 extension (tpope).
579 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
580 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
581 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
582 problems.
583
5848.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
585 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
586 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
587 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
588 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
589 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
590 (found by Aiviru).
591 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
592 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
593 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
594 case to work around for :/
595 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
596 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
597 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
598 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
599 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
600 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
601 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
602 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
603 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
604 Paskevich).
605 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
606 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
607 - update libptytty.
608 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
609 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
610 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
611 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
612 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
613 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
614 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
615 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
616 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
617
6188.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
619 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
620 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
621 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
622 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
623 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
624 Reported by Takano Akio.
625 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
626 reported by exg.
627 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
628 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
629 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
630 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
631
6328.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
633 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
634 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
635 circumstances (reported by exg).
636 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
637 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
638 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
639 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
640 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
641 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
642 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
643 - update to libptytty-1.0.
644 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
645 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
646 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
647 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
648 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
649 bug #143985).
650 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
651 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
652 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
653 - manpage fix by exg.
654
6557.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
656 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
657 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
658 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
659 it does! :->
660 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
661 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
662
6637.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
664 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
665 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
666 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
667 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
668 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
669 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
670 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
671 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
672 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
673 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
674 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
675 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
676 uppercase character.
677 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
678 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
679 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
680 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
681 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
682 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
683 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
684 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
685 generic osc_seq.
686 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
687 were invoked recursively.
688 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
689 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
690 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
691 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
692 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
693 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
694 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
695 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
696 by omatunto_.
697 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
698 follow C++ closely enough.
699 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
700 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
701 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
702 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
703
7047.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
705 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
706 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
707 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
708 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
709 click, and eats the click.
710 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
711 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
712 refresh bugs please.
713 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
714 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
715 improve size hint setting.
716 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
717 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
718 to correctly position their preedit window.
719 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
720 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
721 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
722 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
723 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
724 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
725 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
726 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
727 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
728 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
729 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
730 (reported by Paco-Paco).
731 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
732 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
733 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
734
7357.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
736 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
737 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
738 resource value.
739 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
740 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
741 relevant tab window.
742 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
743 (initial patch by hednod).
744 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
745 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
746 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
747 the benefit of automove-background.
748 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
749 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
750 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
751 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
752 __linux__.
753 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
754 the colour components.
755 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
756 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
757 - more colour rtt optimisations.
758 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
759 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
760 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
761 - minor libptytty update.
762
7637.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
764 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
765 detection:
766 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
767 - overlap detection was improved.
768 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
769 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
770 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
771 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
772 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
773 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
774 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
775 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
776 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
777 broken.
778 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
779 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
780 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
781 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
782 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
783 (patch by Paco-Paco).
784 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
785 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
786 an "[alpha]" prefix.
787 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
788 transparent. Long Live Xft!
789 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
790 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
791 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
792 on a pseudocolor screen.
793 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
794 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
795 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
796 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
797 - small configure updates.
798 - further RTT optimisations.
799 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
800 the debian package.
801 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
802 but much newer than the old one.
803
8047.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
805 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
806 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
807 - small configure updates for libptytty.
808 - fixed version options: line output.
809 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
810
8117.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
812 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
813 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
814 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
815 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
816 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
817 selection extension.
818 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
819 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
820 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
821 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
822 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
823 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
824 needs the careful rendering mode.
825 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
826 too wide and needs careful mode.
827 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
828 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
829 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
830 atoms only once per display.
831 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
832 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
833 xterm.
834
8357.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
836 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
837 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
838 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
839 ctrl-shift-672c).
840 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
841 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
842 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
843 the primary screen.
844 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
845 could lead to an assertion failure.
846 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
847 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
848 via mouse clicks.
849 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
850 with shift - mouse button 2.
851 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
852 in non-synthetic events.
853 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
854 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
855 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
856 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
857 whole urxvt[d] process.
858 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
859 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
860 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
861 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
862
8637.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
864 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
865 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
866 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
867 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
868 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
869 special privileges.
870 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
871 itself.
872 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
873 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
874 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
875 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
876 similar stuff.
877 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
878 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
879 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
880 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
881 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
882 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
883 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
884 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
885 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
886 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
887 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
888 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
889 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
890 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
891 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
892 to set the window title.
893 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
894 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
895 at the wrong time.
896 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
897 anymore.
898 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
899 - nuked QNX support.
900 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
901 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
902 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
903 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
904
9057.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
906 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
907 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
908 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
909 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
910 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
911 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
912 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
913 and much much more.
914 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
915 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
916 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
917 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
918 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
919 setuid/setgid.
920 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
921 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
922 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
923 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
924 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
925 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
926 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
927 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
928 compatible, and not really small either.
929 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
930 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
931 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
932 to crashes.
933 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
934 colours.
935 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
936 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
937
9386.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
939 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
940 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
941 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
942 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
943 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
944 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
945 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
946 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
947 by Mikachu).
948 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
949 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
950 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
951 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
952 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
953 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
954 - fix directory permissions on install.
955 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
956 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
957 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
958 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
959 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
960
9616.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
962 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
963 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
964 Chuck Blake.
965 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
966 obscure the mouse cursor position.
967 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
968 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
969 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
970 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
971 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
972 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
973 transfer efficiency.
974 - further minor cleanups.
975
9766.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
977 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
978 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
979 while the user still drags.
980 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
981 not drawn correctly.
982 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
983 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
984 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
985 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
986 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
987 stripping whitespace.
988 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
989 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
990
9916.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
992 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
993 - enable slow link support by default.
994 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
995 (also a bug in original rxvt).
996 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
997 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
998 partial patch).
999 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
1000 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
1001 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
1002 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
1003 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
1004 - implement -hold option.
1005 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
1006 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
1007 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
1008 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
1009 - slight overall speed improvements.
1010 - considerably improved code clarity.
1011 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
1012 buffer.
1013
10145.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
1015 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
1016 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
1017 (matters only for rxvtd).
1018 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
1019 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
1020 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
1021
10225.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
1023 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
1024 If you want the old behaviour, try:
1025 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1026 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1027 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1028 percentage by 100-percentage.
1029 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1030 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1031 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1032 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1033 windows.
1034 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1035 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1036 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1037 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1038 - replaced INSTALL file.
1039
10405.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1041 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1042 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1043 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1044 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1045 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1046 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1047 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1048 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
1049
10505.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
1051 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
1052 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
1053 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
1054 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1055 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1056 Affects display in iso14755 box.
1057 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1058 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1059 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1060 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1061 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1062 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1063 cutting pieces off of characters.
1064 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1065 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1066 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1067 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1068 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1069 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
1070 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
1071
10725.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
1073 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
1074 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
1075 meaning of the given key.
1076 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
1077 (patch by Martin Edlman).
1078
10795.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
1080 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
1081 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
1082 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
1083 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
1084 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
1085 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
1086 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
1087 to disable it.
1088
10895.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
1090 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
1091 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
1092 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
1093 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
1094 with modifiers.
1095 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
1096 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
1097 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
1098 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
1099 and clear the scrollback buffer.
1100
11015.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
1102 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
1103 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
1104 a command.
1105 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
1106 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
1107 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
1108 in Perl/Gtk2.
1109 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1110 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1111 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1112 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1113 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1114 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1115 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1116 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1117 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1118 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1119 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1120 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1121 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1122 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1123 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1124 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1125 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1126 rxvt-unicode).
1127 - get rid of the intpro files.
1128
11295.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1130 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1131 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1132 (Kuang-che Wu).
1133 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1134 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1135 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1136 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1137 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1138 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1139 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1140 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1141 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1142 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1143 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1144 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1145
11465.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1147 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1148 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1149 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1150 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1151 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1152 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1153 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1154 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1155 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1156 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1157 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1158 by Joël Riou).
1159 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1160 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1161 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1162 - shaved off some code segment size.
1163 - various code cleanups.
1164 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1165
11664.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1167 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1168 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1169 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1170 -pixmap is active.
1171 - new option/resource imFont.
1172 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1173 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1174 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1175 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1176 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1177 (WU Fengguang).
1178 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1179 examples (rxvt.1).
1180 - removed src/test completely.
1181 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1182
11834.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1184 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1185 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1186 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1187 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1188 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1189 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1190 resulting in segfaults.
1191 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1192 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1193 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1194 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1195 (Mikael Magnusson).
1196 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1197 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1198 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1199 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1200 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1201 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1202 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1203 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1204 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1205 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1206 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1207 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1208 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1209
12104.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1211 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1212 black on initial startup.
1213 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1214 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1215 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1216 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1217 additional multimedia keys.
1218 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1219 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1220
12214.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1222 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1223 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1224 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1225 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1226 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1227 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1228 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1229 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1230 ignored.
1231 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1232 instead.
1233 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1234 (reported by hednod).
1235 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1236 - fix atom name enumeration.
1237
12384.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1239 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1240 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1241 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1242 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1243 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1244
12454.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1246 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1247 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1248 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1249 titles etc.
1250 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1251 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1252 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1253 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1254 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1255 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1256 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1257 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1258 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1259 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1260 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1261 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1262 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1263 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1264
12654.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1266 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1267 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1268 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1269 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1270 thoroughly.
1271 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1272 now, too.
1273
12744.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1275 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1276 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1277 on high-latency networks.
1278 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1279 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1280 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1281 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1282 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1283 by Gunnar Ritter.
1284 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1285 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1286
12874.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1288 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1289 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1290 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1291 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1292 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1293 - add compile fix for darwin.
1294 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1295 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1296 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1297
12984.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1299 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1300 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1301 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1302 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1303 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1304 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1305 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1306 ... terminated by a fix.
1307 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1308 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1309 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1310 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1311 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1312 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1313 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1314 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1315 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1316 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1317 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1318 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1319 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
