217.2
22 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
23 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
24 via mouse clicks.
25 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
26 with shift - mouse button 2
27 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
28 in non-synthetic events.
29 - the non-terminfo visual bell is now done asynchronously, so
30 continous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
31 while urxvt[d] process.
32 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
33
347.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
35 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
36 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
37 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
38 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
39 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
40 special privileges.
41 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
42 itself.
43 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
44 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
45 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
46 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
47 similar stuff.
48 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
49 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
50 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
51 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
52 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
53 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
54 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
55 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
56 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
57 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
58 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
59 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
60 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
61 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
62 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
63 to set the window title.
64 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
65 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
66 at the wrong time.
67 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
68 anymore.
69 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
70 - nuked QNX support.
71 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
72 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
73 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
74 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
75
767.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
77 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
78 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
79 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
80 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
81 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
82 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
83 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
84 and much much more.
85 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
86 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
87 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
88 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
89 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
90 setuid/setgid.
91 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
92 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
93 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
94 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
95 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
96 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
97 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
98 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
99 compatible, and not really small either.
100 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
101 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
102 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
103 to crashes.
104 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
105 colours.
106 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
107 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
108
1096.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
110 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
111 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
112 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
113 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
114 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
115 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
116 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
117 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
118 by Mikachu).
119 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
120 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
121 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
122 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
123 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
124 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
125 - fix directory permissions on install.
126 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
127 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
128 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
129 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
130 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
131
1326.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
133 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
134 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
135 Chuck Blake.
136 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
137 obscure the mouse cursor position.
138 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
139 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
140 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
141 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
142 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
143 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
144 transfer efficiency.
145 - further minor cleanups.
146
1476.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
148 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
149 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
150 while the user still drags.
151 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
152 not drawn correctly.
153 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
154 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
155 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
156 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
157 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
158 stripping whitespace.
159 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
160 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
161
1626.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
163 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
164 - enable slow link support by default.
165 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
166 (also a bug in original rxvt).
167 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
168 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
169 partial patch).
170 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
171 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
172 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
173 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
174 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
175 - implement -hold option.
176 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
177 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
178 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
179 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
180 - slight overall speed improvements.
181 - considerably improved code clarity.
182 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
183 buffer.
184
1855.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
186 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
187 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
188 (matters only for rxvtd).
189 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
190 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
191 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
192
1935.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
194 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
195 If you want the old behaviour, try:
196 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
197 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
198 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
199 percentage by 100-percentage.
200 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
201 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
202 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
203 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
204 windows.
205 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
206 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
207 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
208 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
209 - replaced INSTALL file.
210
2115.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
212 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
213 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
214 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
215 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
216 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
217 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
218 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
219 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
220
2215.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
222 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
223 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
224 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
225 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
226 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
227 Affects display in iso14755 box.
228 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
229 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
230 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
231 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
232 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
233 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
234 cutting pieces off of characters.
235 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
236 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
237 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
238 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
239 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
240 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
241 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
242
2435.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
244 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
245 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
246 meaning of the given key.
247 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
248 (patch by Martin Edlman).
249
2505.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
251 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
252 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
253 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
254 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
255 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
256 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
257 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
258 to disable it.
259
2605.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
261 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
262 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
263 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
264 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
265 with modifiers.
266 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
267 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
268 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
269 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
270 and clear the scrollback buffer.
271
2725.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
273 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
274 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
275 a command.
276 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
277 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
278 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
279 in Perl/Gtk2.
280 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
281 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
282 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
283 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
284 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
285 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
286 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
287 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
288 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
289 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
290 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
291 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
292 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
293 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
294 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
295 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
296 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
297 rxvt-unicode).
298 - get rid of the intpro files.
299
3005.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
301 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
302 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
303 (Kuang-che Wu).
304 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
305 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
306 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
307 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
308 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
309 along with other, similar, cleanups.
310 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
311 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
312 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
313 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
314 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
315 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
316
3175.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
318 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
319 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
320 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
321 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
322 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
323 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
324 his patience and time in tracking this down).
325 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
326 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
327 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
328 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
329 by Joël Riou).
330 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
331 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
332 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
333 - shaved off some code segment size.
334 - various code cleanups.
335 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
336
3374.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
338 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
339 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
340 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
341 -pixmap is active.
342 - new option/resource imFont.
343 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
344 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
345 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
346 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
347 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
348 (WU Fengguang).
349 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
350 examples (rxvt.1).
351 - removed src/test completely.
352 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
353
3544.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
355 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
356 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
357 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
358 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
359 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
360 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
361 resulting in segfaults.
362 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
363 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
364 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
365 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
366 (Mikael Magnusson).
367 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
368 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
369 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
370 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
371 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
372 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
373 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
374 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
375 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
376 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
377 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
378 - initialize the locale much earlier.
379 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
380
3814.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
382 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
383 black on initial startup.
384 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
385 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
386 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
387 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
388 additional multimedia keys.
389 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
390 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
391
3924.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
393 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
394 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
395 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
396 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
397 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
398 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
399 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
400 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
401 ignored.
402 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
403 instead.
404 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
405 (reported by hednod).
406 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
407 - fix atom name enumeration.
408
4094.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
410 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
411 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
412 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
413 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
414 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
415
4164.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
417 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
418 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
419 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
420 titles etc.
421 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
422 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
423 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
424 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
425 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
426 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
427 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
428 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
429 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
430 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
431 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
432 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
433 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
434 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
435
4364.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
437 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
438 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
439 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
440 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
441 thoroughly.
442 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
443 now, too.
444
4454.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
446 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
