2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3xfree86's xterm).
4 2
5TODO: hotkey font resizing 3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
6TODO: +ssc -ssr seems to scroll at wrong time, scrolling up the empty sec. scr. 4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
7TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
8TODO: tabbed windows 6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
10TODO: OnTheSpot editing. 8TODO: clarify and get rid of SMOOTH_REFRESH etc.
9WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
10WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
11WISH: support tex fonts
12
13 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
14 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
15 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
16 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
17 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
18 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
19 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
20 and much much more.
21 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
22 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
23 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
24 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
25 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
26 setuid/setgid.
27 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
28 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
29 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
30 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
31 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
32 - applied better configure support for openpty by Emanuele Giaquinta.
33 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
34 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
35 compatible, and not really small either.
36 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
37 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
38
396.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
40 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
41 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
42 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
43 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
44 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
45 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
46 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
47 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
48 by Mikachu).
49 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
50 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
51 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
52 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
53 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
54 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
55 - fix directory permissions on install.
56 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
57 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
58 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
59 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
60 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
61
626.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
63 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
64 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
65 Chuck Blake.
66 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
67 obscure the mouse cursor position.
68 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
69 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
70 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
71 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
72 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
73 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
74 transfer efficiency.
75 - further minor cleanups.
76
776.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
78 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
79 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
80 while the user still drags.
81 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
82 not drawn correctly.
83 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
84 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
85 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
86 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
87 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
88 stripping whitespace.
89 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
90 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
91
926.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
93 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
94 - enable slow link support by default.
95 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
96 (also a bug in original rxvt).
97 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
98 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
99 partial patch).
100 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
101 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
102 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
103 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
104 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
105 - implement -hold option.
106 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
107 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
108 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
109 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
110 - slight overall speed improvements.
111 - considerably improved code clarity.
112 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
113 buffer.
114
1155.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
116 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
117 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
118 (matters only for rxvtd).
119 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
120 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
121 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
122
1235.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
125 If you want the old behaviour, try:
126 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
127 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
128 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
129 percentage by 100-percentage.
130 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
131 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
132 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
133 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
134 windows.
135 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
136 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
137 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
138 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
139 - replaced INSTALL file.
140
1415.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
142 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
143 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
144 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
145 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
146 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
147 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
148 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
149 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
150
1515.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
152 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
153 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
154 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
155 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
156 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
157 Affects display in iso14755 box.
158 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
159 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
160 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
161 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
162 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
163 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
164 cutting pieces off of characters.
165 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
166 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
167 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
168 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
169 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
170 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
171 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
172
1735.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
174 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
175 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
176 meaning of the given key.
177 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
178 (patch by Martin Edlman).
179
1805.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
181 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
182 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
183 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
184 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
185 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
186 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
187 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
188 to disable it.
189
1905.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
191 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
192 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
193 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
194 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
195 with modifiers.
196 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
197 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
198 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
199 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
200 and clear the scrollback buffer.
201
2025.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
203 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
204 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
205 a command.
206 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
207 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
208 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
209 in Perl/Gtk2.
210 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
211 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
212 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
213 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
214 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
215 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
216 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
217 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
218 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
219 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
220 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
221 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
222 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
223 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
224 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
225 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
226 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
227 rxvt-unicode).
228 - get rid of the intpro files.
229
2305.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
231 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
232 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
233 (Kuang-che Wu).
234 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
235 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
236 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
237 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
238 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
239 along with other, similar, cleanups.
240 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
241 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
242 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
243 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
244 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
245 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
246
2475.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
248 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
249 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
250 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
251 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
252 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
253 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
254 his patience and time in tracking this down).
255 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
256 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
257 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
258 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
259 by Joël Riou).
260 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
261 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
262 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
263 - shaved off some code segment size.
264 - various code cleanups.
265 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
266
2674.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
268 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
269 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
270 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
271 -pixmap is active.
272 - new option/resource imFont.
273 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
274 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
275 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
276 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
277 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
278 (WU Fengguang).
279 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
280 examples (rxvt.1).
281 - removed src/test completely.
282 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
283
2844.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
285 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
286 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
287 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
288 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
289 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
290 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
291 resulting in segfaults.
292 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
293 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
294 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
295 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
296 (Mikael Magnusson).
297 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
298 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
299 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
300 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
301 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
302 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
303 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
304 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
305 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
306 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
307 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
308 - initialize the locale much earlier.
309 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
310
3114.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
312 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
313 black on initial startup.
314 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
315 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
316 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
317 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
318 additional multimedia keys.
319 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
320 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
321
3224.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
323 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
324 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
325 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
326 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
327 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
328 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
329 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
330 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
331 ignored.
332 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
333 instead.
334 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
335 (reported by hednod).
336 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
337 - fix atom name enumeration.
338
3394.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
340 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
341 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
342 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
343 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
344 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
345
3464.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
347 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
348 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
349 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
350 titles etc.
351 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
352 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
353 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
354 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
355 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
356 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
357 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
358 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
359 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
360 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
361 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
362 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
363 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
364 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
365
3664.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
367 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
368 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
369 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
370 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
371 thoroughly.
372 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
373 now, too.
374
3754.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
376 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
377 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
378 on high-latency networks.
379 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
380 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
381 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
382 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
383 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
384 by Gunnar Ritter.
385 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
386 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
