Such resources, as opposed to + resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but + accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression. + - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap + mode to auto, never or always. + - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to + disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs + abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these + sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode + is now under frills. + - add manpage for urclock. + - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by + Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244). + - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does + not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall + back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It + currently will warn about this. + - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat + them as zero-width characters. + - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle + combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers + to be more intelligent about these sequences. + - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the + BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an + xft with the character is configured. + It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now. + - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for + combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent, + but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in + some cases (e.g. input mono). + - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont + character shifts into account. + - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences, + implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc + extensions. + - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705 + sequence is received. + - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font + ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window + size form or to row/column count. + - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for + regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try + to match IRLs in addition to URLs. + - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the + argument is greater than 0. + - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and + there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by + Stephen Talley). + - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions. + this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive + loading. + - update precompose table to unicode 13.0. + - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected + cs_koi8_u_from_unicode). + - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t. + font rendering. + - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former + almost everywhere. + - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x + when tic -x fails. + - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing + overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements. + - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table + with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation. + - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer + needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more + stylistic freedom. + - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag + when repeat mode wasn't normal. + - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'". + - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow + can't lock the face. + - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged. + - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang. + +9.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021 + - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly + not packaged. + +9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021 + - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to + remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as + urclock. + - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105, + freebsd bug #234276. + - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of + reasons, and takes unnecessary time. + - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian + bug 858385. + - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background + extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No + configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background + ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to + work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image + resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to + switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background). + - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines. + - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences + (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch). + - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in + POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit + program can be used as a substitute). + - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly, + only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected + fill and tint). + - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle + multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit + of autoloading perl extensions. + - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security + implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5, + and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known. + - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by + Roman Bogorodskiy. + - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries + no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode. + - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu). + - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler). + - xterm SGR mouse mode. + - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch. + - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch + by Přemysl Eric Janouch. + - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt + erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug + #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter). + - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression. + - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video + is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it + is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler). + - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and + shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach). + - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions + (patch by Rastislav Barlik). + - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon + us by ISO C++. + - update to libecb 0x00010006. + - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it. + - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies. + - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes + in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones). + +9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016 + - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo. + - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants + (patch by Sebastian Schmidt). + - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character + ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected + encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and + ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu). + - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted + (reported by Kuang-che Wu). + - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu). + - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu). + - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by + Devin J. Pohly). + - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on + a patch by Omar Sandoval). + - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape + (based on a patch by Brian Watson). + - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an + action now properly rebinds the key. + - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler). + - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries + (patch by Benjamin Herr). + - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the + event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not + announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat + bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts, + such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy + behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular + keysym bindings) before invoking the hook. + - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab + on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal + window. + - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound + to a key combination. + - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used + to cycle through the matches in matcher. + - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators. + +9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014 + - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release. + - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo. + - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the + same height but different ascent. + - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it + from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor). + - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned + premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example + when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible, + which is more correct but loses colour resolution. + - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar. + - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl + hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by + perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and + on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported. + - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string + mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt. + - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process. + - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16, + but not documented. + - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp. + - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time + between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson). + - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym + bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic + actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling. + - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed. + - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey. + - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard. + - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher + associated to a matched pattern. + - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang). + - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move + to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any. + - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead). + - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead). + - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING). + - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again. + - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch + by Thomas Otto). + - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the + way properly. + - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv. + - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods. + - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell + containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug + #830236. + - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal + window/popup has been destroyed already. + - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence. + - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour + displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing + (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers). + - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely + only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers). + - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to + simpler and actually more correct code. + - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals. + - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor). + - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest + colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp + frame buffers). + - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the + behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and + was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated. + +9.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014 + - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp + entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh). + - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even + in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy). + - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled. + - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing + and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992. + - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes, + to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k). + - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with + the CLIPBOARD selection. + - new extension: selection-to-clipboard. + - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native + are deprecated and will be removed in the next release. + Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally + enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X + pasteboard and the X11 clipboard. + +9.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013 + - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension + (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves). + - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to + erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word. + - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background + expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images. + - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control + function. + - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline. + - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl. + +9.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013 + - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize. + +9.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013 + - add shade operator in background perl extension. + - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide + characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende). + - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor + cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende). + - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if + saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert + Münnich). + - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency + are disabled. + +9.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012 + - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release. + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher. + - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick + Hemmer). + - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1), + e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list. + - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a + patch by Jan Larres). + - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero. + - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]), + as diagnosed by clang. + - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when + lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy). + - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by + nickfailure@gmail.com). + - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now + specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate + new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage + for details. + - xrender is now required for background pixmap support. + - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources + which show up in -help etc. + - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column. + - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also + warn when we can't get the requested visual. + - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB. + - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory + subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access + locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too. + - remove support for libafterimage. + - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease. + - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or + libptytty instead. + - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which + might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize. + - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color + from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg). + - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson). + +9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012 + - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously + thinks thats an error. + - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font) + was broken (reported by Eamon Walker). + - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now. + - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender. + - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do + not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source + and destination in composite operations. + - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size + for tabs. + - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by + Sung Pae). + - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added. + - fix -C option on solaris. + +9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011 + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now + $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-. + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires + loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension. + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image + geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible + to disable both scaling and tiling. + - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have + been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and + styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position + settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed + in the next release. + - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting + out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection + while scrolling up in curses programs for example). + - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is + outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow). + - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel + Filardo). + - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the + wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt + forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of + the cell size. + - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible + crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137 + (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - correctly split long lines when scrolling. + - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext. + - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a + bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh). + - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint. + - consume button release event in matcher (exg). + - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher + (Bob Farrell). + - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using + 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window + but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin + Pohlack). + - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by + Michael Stapelberg). + - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed. + - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size + than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top + edge (Mikachu). + - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also + handle exceptions better. + - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in + 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta). + +9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011 + - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events. + urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not + support the UTF8_STRING target. + - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more + likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as + urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151 + (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae). + - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between + core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations. + - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code. + - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only + non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway. + +9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011 + - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736. + - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose. + If you need it, poke us and provide a use case. + - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual + supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha + (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client + such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak). + - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active + (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh). + - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection + extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme + slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463. + - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a + selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is + received. (Emanuele Giaquinta) + - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently + broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html). + - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys + were injected into an already-full pty input buffer. + - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage. + - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line + of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case + we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace + with gcc. + - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444. + - document 'thickness' resource. + - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible. + - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of + hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough. + - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste + (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup. + - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident). + - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished. + - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead, + silently drain the input (problem is well understood now). + - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands. + +9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010 + - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release. + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct + (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option + count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the + failures with gcc 4.5. + - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support + is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from + both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private + dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of + pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one. + Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold + (based on patch by Jan Palus). + - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd. + - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly + set (reported by Michal Vaner). + - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode, + and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales + and has fewer limitations. + - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after + startup for the upper left corner. + - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of + dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals + are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested. + Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result + was inaccurate and confusing.

This + makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code + and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with + special privileges. + - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid + itself. + - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get + the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap. + - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to + e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or + similar stuff. + - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't + span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps + for programs displaying a status line at the bottom. + - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. + - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection + code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases + :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. + - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now + being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. + - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus, + as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm). + - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD. + - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure + (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg). + - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, + to set the window title. + - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes + some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables + at the wrong time. + - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support + anymore. + - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH. + - nuked QNX support. + - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code. + - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. + - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. + - iom extended to support listening for child exits. + +7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006 + - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about + SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. + - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and + option-popup extensions enabled by default. + - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect + will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. + - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support + and much much more. + - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. + - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. + - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. + - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. + - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started + setuid/setgid. + - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a + side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. + - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. + - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast. + - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic. + - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler. + - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really + compatible, and not really small either. + - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support. + - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file. + - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead + to crashes. + - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all + colours. + - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode. + - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering. + +6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006 + - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were + not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as + world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt, + too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only + systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not + GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley). + - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations. + restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported + by Mikachu). + - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more + intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback, + menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option, + perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet. + - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent. + Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now. + - fix directory permissions on install. + - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters + and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack). + - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless + (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended + periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here. + +6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006 + - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink + selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by + Chuck Blake. + - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would + obscure the mouse cursor position. + - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly + returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc + on a few architectures). Reported by darix. + - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate + the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing). + - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data + transfer efficiency. + - further minor cleanups. + +6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005 + - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.). + - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback + while the user still drags. + - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were + not drawn correctly. + - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading + to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults. + - iso14755 overlay position was wrong. + - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too. + - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for + stripping whitespace. + - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections. + - slight cleanups in src/features.h. + +6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005 + - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again. + - enable slow link support by default. + - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions + (also a bug in original rxvt). + - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails + (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a + partial patch). + - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each. + - bump max savelines to 10000000. + - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process. + - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary. + - major code cleanup (still not complete, though). + - implement -hold option. + - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling: + - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged. + - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling). + - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal. + - slight overall speed improvements. + - considerably improved code clarity. + - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback + buffer. + +5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005 + - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix. + - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal + (matters only for rxvtd). + - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian). + - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return + bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse). + +5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005 + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default. + If you want the old behaviour, try: + configure --disable-everything + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with + the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your + percentage by 100-percentage. + - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm. + - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update + the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is + synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other + windows. + - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default + bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting. + - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov). + - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option. + - replaced INSTALL file. + +5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 + - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. + - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. + - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do + not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't + even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes). + - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines + could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra + refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt). + +5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005 + - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised + every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected). + Reported by Jasmin Buchert. + - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently + uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare). + Affects display in iso14755 box. + - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the + hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional + chars mixed with fixed-width ones. + - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially + overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws + more than required, but that's better than undershooting and + cutting pieces off of characters. + - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for + fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines. + - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character + at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu). + - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be + output in the next line (reported by Mikachu). + - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin. + +5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005 + - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement + a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in + meaning of the given key. + - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite + (patch by Martin Edlman). + +5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005 + - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code. + this is necessary because it has no knowledge about + built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code + will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out. + - cursor blinking now depends on frills. + - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc). + - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay + to disable it. + +5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005 + - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long + escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by + Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team). + - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons + with modifiers. + - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties. + - properly update WM_LOCALE. + - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol. + - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view + and clear the scrollback buffer. + +5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005 + - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave + that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting + a command. + - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus. + - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk, + and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented + in Perl/Gtk2. + - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling + when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert. + (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu). + - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt + (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for + pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd, + and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary. + - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using + line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess + with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically + needs to be US-ASCII all the time). + - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help + some apps who fail to set the correct mode. + - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to + not destroy the window for other types of messages. + - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is + of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed + rxvt-unicode). + - get rid of the intpro files. + +5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005 + - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one + for empty keymaps which could result in crashes + (Kuang-che Wu). + - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple + tk script to make a tab'able terminal now... + - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills). + - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow. + - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it, + along with other, similar, cleanups. + - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes. + - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco). + - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more + compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts + match (reported by Paco-Paco). + - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible. + +5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005 + - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd. + - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt. + - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with + Xt, and document it in rxvt(1). + - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault, + and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for + his patience and time in tracking this down). + - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing, + most notably, don't remove double quotes. + - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas). + - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea + by Joël Riou). + - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only + available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary + and is surprisingly hard to implement. + - shaved off some code segment size. + - various code cleanups. + - more keysym-mapping fixes. + +4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005 + - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in + original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz). + - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when + -pixmap is active. + - new option/resource imFont. + - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw. + - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click. + - reordered help listing to group similar options together. + - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou). + - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch + (WU Fengguang). + - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym + examples (rxvt.1). + - removed src/test completely. + - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'. + +4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005 + - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard + highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape + sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1). + - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this + can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now. + - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display, + resulting in segfaults. + - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the + screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro). + - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions. + - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom + (Mikael Magnusson). + - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded, + and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a + font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and + tested by Olivier Wittenberg). + - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+). + - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris. + - autogenerate src/* dependency list. + - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent + on frills, not on its own configure option). + - include pty.h, if available (cygwin). + - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway. + - initialize the locale much earlier. + - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks. + +4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004 + - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be + black on initial startup. + - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to + races in the protocol and within Xlib. + - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab. + - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as + additional multimedia keys. + - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with + implementations that store tag info in the high bits. + +4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004 + - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even + if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. + - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup + time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3 + turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). + - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. + - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child + process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets + ignored. + - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID + instead. + - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed + (reported by hednod). + - fix an unlikely memory leak. + - fix atom name enumeration. + +4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 + - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. + - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled + incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR + selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably + for large selections, but that seems unavoidable. + +4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 + - rewrote handling of default-char width. + - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING + for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window + titles etc. + - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. + - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). + - fixed a bug in the transparency code. + - upgraded iom.[Ch]. + - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update. + - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line, + which got partially overwritten by spaces. + - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling + and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented. + should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding + and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker + for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS. + - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton. + - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before. + +4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004 + - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch. + obviously in locales not having these characters they should + still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth. + Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them + thoroughly. + - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball + now, too. + +4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004 + - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu). + - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns + on high-latency networks. + - wide characters shift the correct number of characters + in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter. + - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva. + - make storage of tab movements as characters optional + on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request + by Gunnar Ritter. + - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored + or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva. + +4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004 + - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of + -ssc/-ssr settings. + - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other + programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected). + - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball. + - add compile fix for darwin. + - configure fix for transparency without tinting. + - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere. + - upgraded iom.[Ch]. + +4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004 + - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts. + - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam. + - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental. + - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C. + - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling. + - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating. + - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug". + ... terminated by a fix. + - new supported preeeditType "None". + - added FAQ about possible compose key problems. + - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion). + - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events + for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change + causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking) + (patch by Kuang-che Wu). + - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just + when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...). + - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly, + though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways). + - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ. + - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback. + - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods, + as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more + input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt + due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help + in tracking this down. + - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during + make install) with the correct program name and other info. + +3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004 + - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke + many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions. + +3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004 + - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled + differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and + installed if tic is available. + - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work. + - tweaked src/features.h a bit. + - removed README.unicode. + - support select&paste of tab characters. + - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported + by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson). + - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save + and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen. + - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering + screen updates with curses. + - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced + by spaces. + - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore + (likewise for other names chosen at configure time). + - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft + is just too slow for this to work. + - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support, + where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can + implement. use --enable-styles. + - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes + (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely + supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable + for terminals with "odd" number of colours). + - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul + compared to the old rxvt terminfo. + - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is + monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width. + - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which + speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found + (only for non-bold right now). + - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences. + - better default font size and style. + - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting + into the base font, but to offset this it will check each + single character against the base font extents and will only + use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge). + - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often + be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn + more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original + rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster. + - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson). + - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the + screen height. + - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay. + - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken. + - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it + off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson). + - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading. + - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented. + - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755. + - removed OSC 702. + - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be + confused by it rather than using it. + +3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004 + - new configure option --enable-iso14755. + - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :). + - extended the FAQ section in the manpage. + - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages, + due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough + approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the + "cannot create input context" in most cases. + - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly + at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off). + - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were + previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window + close). + - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or + not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals. + - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson). + - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson). + - fix crash on window close when the input method or context + could not be created. + - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug + #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race + condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully + sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the + command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to + wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually + works. + - set correct pixel size in struct winsize. + - document more escape sequences. + - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1). + - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a + character is a sensible operation. + - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling. + - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better + reflect on their function, renamed many variables. + - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi. + - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes + made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible + with selections). + +3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004 + - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal + windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker + needs access to a local shell window). + - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down + Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode + character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a + function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with + a little window or so) would be welcome. + - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456). + - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when + a message was logged after startup (a rare case). + - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod. + - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be + added there. + - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7). + - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated. + - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos. + - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode + instead of being ignored. + - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour + queries, as they are harmless(tm). + - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't + find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly, + but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it. + - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some + people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though. + - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm: + "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows". + - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency. + - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg, + which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which + needs testing anyways. + - more complete compile options help output. + - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode. + Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can + provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than + providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from + Christopher Casey + - minor doc fix. + +3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004 + - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not + show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I + released it with that bug. :( Fixed. + - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies. + speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable + memmove :) + - minor cleanups. + - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage + (debian bug #169415). + - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265). + - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386). + - updated configure script to current autoconf standards. + - updated config.guess. + +3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004 + - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code. + - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally + make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :). + - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable). + - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh). + - fixed blinking underlined and negative text. + - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets, + speeding up scrolling immensely. + - various other optimizations. + - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson. + +3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004 + - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch). + - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set. + - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch). + - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson. + - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by + Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code). + - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by + Mikael Magnusson). + - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson). + - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt). + - disable-xim now really disables xim code. + +3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004 + - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson ), + if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb). + - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which + was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede . + - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above. + - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it + with ^V (SYN). + - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option). + +3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004 + - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177) + as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :). + - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt + in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as + well as with other terminal emulators. + - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale + (reported by elmex). + - find more fonts by default for japanese. + - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving + the window relative to its frame and simplifies a lot of code, too. + - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard + Bloch. + +3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004 + - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even + less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work, + sorry). + - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should + make it a little bit more correct c++). + +2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004 + - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now + getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035). + - minor i18n issue fixes. + +2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004 + - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability). + - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability). + - fix some minor bugs. + +2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004 + - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except + for the keymappings. + - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes. + (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt). + - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is + an extension and is slightly ugly. + - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and + replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and + secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673). + - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267). + - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting. + - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are + overwritten (as is common). + - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049. + - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de. + +2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004 + - minor doc corrections. + - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to + avoid clashes with xterm. + - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports. + - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report + window colour when arg is "?". + - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds. + - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus + cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in + fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc. + - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only + when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference). + (FRILLS). + - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default. + - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least). + asprintf replacement is still missing(!). + - set _NET_WM_PID. + +2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004 + - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups. + - support more 8-bit controls. + - more informative error messages. + - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions. + - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements: + - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences + (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block). + - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510). + +2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004 + - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit. + - implement xterm private mode 1049. + - fix manpages (debian bug #236824). + - removed old selection style completely. + - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars. + - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore. + reduces binary and distro size a bit. + - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can + be used from within rxvt. + - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f). + +2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004 + - code cleanup release. + - fix compile problems without --enable-combining. + - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened. + - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX, + MAX_NFONTS.
