169.0
17 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
18 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
19 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
20 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
21 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
22 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
23 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
24 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
25 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
26 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
27 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up
28 and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code.
29 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
30 to set the window title.
31
327.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
33 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
34 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
35 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
36 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
37 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
38 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
39 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
40 and much much more.
41 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
42 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
43 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
44 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
45 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
46 setuid/setgid.
47 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
48 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
49 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
50 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
51 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
52 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
54 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
55 compatible, and not really small either.
56 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
57 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
58 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
59 to crashes.
60 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
61 colours.
62 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
63 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
64
656.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
66 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
67 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
68 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
69 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
70 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
71 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
72 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
73 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
74 by Mikachu).
75 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
76 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
77 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
78 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
79 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
80 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
81 - fix directory permissions on install.
82 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
83 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
84 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
85 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
86 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
87
886.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
89 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
90 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
91 Chuck Blake.
92 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
93 obscure the mouse cursor position.
94 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
95 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
96 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
97 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
98 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
99 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
100 transfer efficiency.
101 - further minor cleanups.
102
1036.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
104 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
105 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
106 while the user still drags.
107 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
108 not drawn correctly.
109 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
110 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
111 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
112 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
113 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
114 stripping whitespace.
115 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
116 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
117
1186.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
119 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
120 - enable slow link support by default.
121 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
122 (also a bug in original rxvt).
123 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
124 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
125 partial patch).
126 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
127 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
128 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
129 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
130 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
131 - implement -hold option.
132 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
133 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
134 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
135 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
136 - slight overall speed improvements.
137 - considerably improved code clarity.
138 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
139 buffer.
140
1415.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
142 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
143 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
144 (matters only for rxvtd).
145 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
146 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
147 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
148
1495.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
150 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
151 If you want the old behaviour, try:
152 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
153 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
154 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
155 percentage by 100-percentage.
156 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
157 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
158 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
159 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
160 windows.
161 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
162 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
163 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
164 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
165 - replaced INSTALL file.
166
1675.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
168 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
169 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
170 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
171 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
172 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
173 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
174 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
175 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
176
1775.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
178 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
179 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
180 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
181 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
182 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
183 Affects display in iso14755 box.
184 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
185 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
186 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
187 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
188 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
189 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
190 cutting pieces off of characters.
191 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
192 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
193 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
194 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
195 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
196 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
197 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
198
1995.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
200 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
201 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
202 meaning of the given key.
203 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
204 (patch by Martin Edlman).
205
2065.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
207 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
208 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
209 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
210 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
211 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
212 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
213 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
214 to disable it.
215
2165.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
217 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
218 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
219 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
220 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
221 with modifiers.
222 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
223 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
224 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
225 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
226 and clear the scrollback buffer.
227
2285.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
229 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
230 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
231 a command.
232 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
233 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
234 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
235 in Perl/Gtk2.
236 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
237 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
238 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
239 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
240 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
241 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
242 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
243 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
244 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
245 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
246 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
247 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
248 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
249 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
250 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
251 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
252 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
253 rxvt-unicode).
254 - get rid of the intpro files.
255
2565.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
257 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
258 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
259 (Kuang-che Wu).
260 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
261 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
262 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
263 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
264 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
265 along with other, similar, cleanups.
266 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
267 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
268 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
269 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
270 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
271 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
272
2735.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
274 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
275 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
276 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
277 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
278 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
279 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
280 his patience and time in tracking this down).
281 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
282 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
283 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
284 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
285 by Joël Riou).
286 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
287 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
288 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
289 - shaved off some code segment size.
290 - various code cleanups.
291 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
292
2934.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
294 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
295 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
296 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
297 -pixmap is active.
298 - new option/resource imFont.
299 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
300 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
301 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
302 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
303 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
304 (WU Fengguang).
305 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
306 examples (rxvt.1).
307 - removed src/test completely.
308 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
309
3104.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
311 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
312 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
313 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
314 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
315 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
316 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
317 resulting in segfaults.
318 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
319 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
320 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
321 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
322 (Mikael Magnusson).
323 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
324 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
325 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
326 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
327 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
328 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
329 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
330 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
331 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
332 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
333 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
334 - initialize the locale much earlier.
335 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
336
3374.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
338 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
339 black on initial startup.
340 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
341 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
342 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
343 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
344 additional multimedia keys.
345 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
346 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
347
3484.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
349 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
350 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
351 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
352 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
353 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
354 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
355 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
356 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
357 ignored.
358 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
359 instead.
360 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
361 (reported by hednod).
362 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
363 - fix atom name enumeration.
364
3654.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
366 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
367 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
368 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
369 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
370 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
371
3724.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
373 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
374 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
375 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
376 titles etc.
377 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
378 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
379 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
380 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
381 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
382 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
383 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
384 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
385 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
386 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
387 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
388 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
389 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
390 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
391
3924.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
393 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
394 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
395 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
396 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
397 thoroughly.
398 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
399 now, too.
400
4014.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
402 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
403 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
404 on high-latency networks.
405 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
406 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
407 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
408 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
409 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
410 by Gunnar Ritter.
411 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
412 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
