13 11
12SECURITY FIX: systems using openpty (most BSDs) had wrong permissions on
13the tty. Other systems (such as GNU/Linux) were not affected. Bug fixes:
14the meta8 option ("weird alt key behaviour") is no longer forcefully
15enabled. New features: urxvt now supports embedded perl, which can already
16do useful things and will certainly be extended in the future.
17
186.3
19 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
20 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
21 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
22 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
23 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
24 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
25 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
26 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
27 by Mikachu).
28 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
29 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
30 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
31 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
32 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
33 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
34 - fix directory permissions on install.
35TODO - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
36 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
37 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
38 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
39 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
40
416.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
42 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
43 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
44 Chuck Blake.
45 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
46 obscure the mouse cursor position.
47 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
48 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
49 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
50 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
51 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
52 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
53 transfer efficiency.
54 - further minor cleanups.
55
566.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
57 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
58 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
59 while the user still drags.
60 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
61 not drawn correctly.
62 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
63 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
64 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
65 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
66 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
67 stripping whitespace.
68 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
69 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
70
716.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
72 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
73 - enable slow link support by default.
74 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
75 (also a bug in original rxvt).
76 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
77 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
78 partial patch).
79 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
80 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
81 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
82 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
83 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
84 - implement -hold option.
85 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
86 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
87 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
88 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
89 - slight overall speed improvements.
90 - considerably improved code clarity.
91 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
92 buffer.
93
945.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
95 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
96 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
97 (matters only for rxvtd).
98 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
99 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
100 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
101
1025.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
103 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
104 If you want the old behaviour, try:
105 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
106 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
107 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
108 percentage by 100-percentage.
109 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
110 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
111 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
112 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
113 windows.
114 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
115 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
116 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
117 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
118 - replaced INSTALL file.
119
1205.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
121 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
122 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
123 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
124 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
125 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
126 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
127 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
128 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
129
1305.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
131 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
132 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
133 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
134 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
135 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
136 Affects display in iso14755 box.
137 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
138 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
139 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
140 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
141 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
142 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
143 cutting pieces off of characters.
144 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
145 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
146 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
147 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
148 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
149 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
150 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
151
1525.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
153 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
154 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
155 meaning of the given key.
156 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
157 (patch by Martin Edlman).
158
1595.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
160 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
161 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
162 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
163 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
164 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
165 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
166 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
167 to disable it.
168
1695.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
170 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
171 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
172 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
173 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
174 with modifiers.
175 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
176 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
177 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
178 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
179 and clear the scrollback buffer.
180
1815.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
182 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
183 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
184 a command.
185 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
186 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
187 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
188 in Perl/Gtk2.
189 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
190 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
191 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
192 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
193 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
194 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
195 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
196 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
197 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
198 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
199 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
200 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
201 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
202 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
203 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
204 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
205 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
206 rxvt-unicode).
207 - get rid of the intpro files.
208
2095.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
210 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
211 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
212 (Kuang-che Wu).
213 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
214 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
215 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
216 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
217 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
218 along with other, similar, cleanups.
219 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
220 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
221 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
222 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
223 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
224 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
225
2265.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
227 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
228 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
229 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
230 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
231 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
232 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
233 his patience and time in tracking this down).
234 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
235 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
236 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
237 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
238 by Joël Riou).
239 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
240 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
241 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
242 - shaved off some code segment size.
243 - various code cleanups.
244 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
245
2464.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
247 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
248 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
249 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
250 -pixmap is active.
251 - new option/resource imFont.
252 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
253 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
254 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
255 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
256 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
257 (WU Fengguang).
258 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
259 examples (rxvt.1).
260 - removed src/test completely.
261 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
262
2634.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
264 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
265 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
266 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
267 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
268 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
269 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
270 resulting in segfaults.
271 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
272 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
273 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
274 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
275 (Mikael Magnusson).
276 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
277 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
278 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
279 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
280 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
281 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
282 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
283 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
284 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
285 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
286 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
287 - initialize the locale much earlier.
288 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
289
2904.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
291 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
292 black on initial startup.
293 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
294 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
295 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
296 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
297 additional multimedia keys.
298 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
299 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
300
3014.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
14 - try very hard not to exhaust the tty output buffer, even 302 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
15 if it slows down large pastes. 303 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
304 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
305 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
306 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
307 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
308 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
309 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
310 ignored.
311 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
312 instead.
313 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
314 (reported by hednod).
315 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
316 - fix atom name enumeration.
