15 14
164.4 157.4
16 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
17 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
18
197.3a Thu Jan 26 01:08:25 CET 2006
20 - removed stoopid debugging message.
21
227.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
23 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
24 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
25 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
26 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
27 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
28 selection extension.
29 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
30 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
31 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
32 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
33 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
34 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
35 needs the careful rendering mode.
36 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
37 too wide and needs careful mode.
38 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
39 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
40 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
41 atoms only once per display.
42 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
43 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
44 xterm.
45
467.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
47 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
48 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
49 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
50 ctrl-shift-672c).
51 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
52 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
53 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
54 the primary screen.
55 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
56 could lead to an assertion failure.
57 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
58 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
59 via mouse clicks.
60 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
61 with shift - mouse button 2.
62 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
63 in non-synthetic events.
64 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
65 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
66 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
67 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
68 whole urxvt[d] process.
69 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
70 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
71 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
72 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
73
747.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
75 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
76 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
77 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
78 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
79 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
80 special privileges.
81 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
82 itself.
83 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
84 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
85 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
86 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
87 similar stuff.
88 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
89 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
90 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
91 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
92 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
93 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
94 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
95 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
96 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
97 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
98 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
99 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
100 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
101 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
103 to set the window title.
104 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
105 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
106 at the wrong time.
107 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
108 anymore.
109 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
110 - nuked QNX support.
111 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
112 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
113 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
114 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
115
1167.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
117 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
118 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
119 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
120 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
121 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
122 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
123 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
124 and much much more.
125 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
126 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
127 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
128 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
129 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
130 setuid/setgid.
131 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
132 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
133 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
134 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
135 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
136 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
137 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
138 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
139 compatible, and not really small either.
140 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
141 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
142 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
143 to crashes.
144 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
145 colours.
146 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
147 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
148
1496.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
150 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
151 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
152 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
153 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
154 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
155 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
156 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
157 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
158 by Mikachu).
159 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
160 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
161 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
162 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
163 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
164 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
165 - fix directory permissions on install.
166 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
167 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
168 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
169 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
170 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
171
1726.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
173 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
174 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
175 Chuck Blake.
176 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
177 obscure the mouse cursor position.
178 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
179 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
180 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
181 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
182 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
183 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
184 transfer efficiency.
185 - further minor cleanups.
186
1876.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
188 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
189 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
190 while the user still drags.
191 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
192 not drawn correctly.
193 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
194 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
195 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
196 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
197 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
198 stripping whitespace.
199 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
200 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
201
2026.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
203 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
204 - enable slow link support by default.
205 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
206 (also a bug in original rxvt).
207 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
208 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
209 partial patch).
210 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
211 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
212 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
213 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
214 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
215 - implement -hold option.
216 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
217 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
218 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
219 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
220 - slight overall speed improvements.
221 - considerably improved code clarity.
222 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
223 buffer.
224
2255.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
226 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
227 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
228 (matters only for rxvtd).
229 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
230 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
231 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
232
2335.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
234 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
235 If you want the old behaviour, try:
236 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
237 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
238 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
239 percentage by 100-percentage.
240 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
241 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
242 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
243 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
244 windows.
245 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
246 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
247 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
248 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
249 - replaced INSTALL file.
250
2515.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
252 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
253 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
254 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
255 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
256 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
257 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
258 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
259 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
260
2615.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
262 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
263 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
264 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
265 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
266 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
267 Affects display in iso14755 box.
268 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
269 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
270 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
271 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
272 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
273 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
274 cutting pieces off of characters.
275 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
276 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
277 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
278 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
279 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
280 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
281 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
282
2835.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
284 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
285 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
286 meaning of the given key.
287 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
288 (patch by Martin Edlman).
289
2905.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
291 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
292 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
293 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
294 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
295 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
296 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
297 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
298 to disable it.
299
3005.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
301 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
302 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
303 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
304 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
305 with modifiers.
306 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
307 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
308 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
309 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
310 and clear the scrollback buffer.
311
3125.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
313 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
314 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
315 a command.
316 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
317 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
318 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
319 in Perl/Gtk2.
320 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
321 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
322 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
323 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
324 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
325 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
326 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
327 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
328 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
329 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
330 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
331 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
332 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
333 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
334 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
335 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
336 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
337 rxvt-unicode).
338 - get rid of the intpro files.
339
3405.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
341 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
342 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
343 (Kuang-che Wu).
344 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
345 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
346 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
347 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
348 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
349 along with other, similar, cleanups.
350 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
351 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
352 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
353 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
354 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
355 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
356
3575.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
358 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
359 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
360 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
361 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
362 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
363 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
364 his patience and time in tracking this down).
365 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
366 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
367 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
368 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
369 by Joël Riou).
370 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
371 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
372 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
373 - shaved off some code segment size.
374 - various code cleanups.
375 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
376
3774.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
378 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
379 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
380 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
381 -pixmap is active.
382 - new option/resource imFont.
383 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
384 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
385 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
386 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
387 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
388 (WU Fengguang).
389 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
390 examples (rxvt.1).
391 - removed src/test completely.
392 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
393
3944.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
395 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
396 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
397 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
398 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
399 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
400 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
401 resulting in segfaults.
402 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
403 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
404 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
405 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
406 (Mikael Magnusson).
407 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
408 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
409 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
410 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
411 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
412 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
413 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
414 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
415 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
416 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
417 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
418 - initialize the locale much earlier.
419 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
420
4214.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
422 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
423 black on initial startup.
424 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
425 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
426 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
427 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
428 additional multimedia keys.
429 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
430 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
431
4324.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
433 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
434 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
435 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
436 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
437 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
438 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
439 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
440 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
441 ignored.
442 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
443 instead.
444 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
445 (reported by hednod).
446 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
