217.2
22 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
23 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
24 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
25 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
26 via mouse clicks.
27 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
28 with shift - mouse button 2
29 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
30 in non-synthetic events.
31 - the non-terminfo visual bell is now done asynchronously, so
32 continous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
33 while urxvt[d] process.
34 - support some bsd makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
35 - work around bugs in FreeBSDs gcc.
36 - implemented some *bsd fixes in configure.
37 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
38
397.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
40 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
41 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
42 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
43 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
44 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
45 special privileges.
46 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
47 itself.
48 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
49 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
50 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
51 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
52 similar stuff.
53 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
54 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
55 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
56 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
57 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
58 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
59 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
60 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
61 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
62 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
63 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
64 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
65 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
66 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
67 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
68 to set the window title.
69 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
70 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
71 at the wrong time.
72 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
73 anymore.
74 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
75 - nuked QNX support.
76 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
77 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
78 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
79 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
80
817.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
82 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
83 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
84 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
85 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
86 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
87 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
88 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
89 and much much more.
90 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
91 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
92 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
93 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
94 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
95 setuid/setgid.
96 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
97 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
98 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
99 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
100 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
101 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
103 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
104 compatible, and not really small either.
105 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
106 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
107 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
108 to crashes.
109 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
110 colours.
111 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
112 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
113
1146.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
115 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
116 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
117 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
118 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
119 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
120 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
121 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
122 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
123 by Mikachu).
124 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
125 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
126 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
127 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
128 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
129 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
130 - fix directory permissions on install.
131 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
132 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
133 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
134 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
135 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
136
1376.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
138 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
139 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
140 Chuck Blake.
141 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
142 obscure the mouse cursor position.
143 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
144 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
145 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
146 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
147 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
148 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
149 transfer efficiency.
150 - further minor cleanups.
151
1526.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
153 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
154 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
155 while the user still drags.
156 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
157 not drawn correctly.
158 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
159 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
160 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
161 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
162 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
163 stripping whitespace.
164 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
165 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
166
1676.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
168 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
169 - enable slow link support by default.
170 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
171 (also a bug in original rxvt).
172 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
173 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
174 partial patch).
175 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
176 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
177 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
178 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
179 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
180 - implement -hold option.
181 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
182 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
183 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
184 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
185 - slight overall speed improvements.
186 - considerably improved code clarity.
187 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
188 buffer.
189
1905.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
191 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
192 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
193 (matters only for rxvtd).
194 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
195 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
196 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
197
1985.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
199 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
200 If you want the old behaviour, try:
201 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
202 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
203 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
204 percentage by 100-percentage.
205 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
206 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
207 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
208 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
209 windows.
210 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
211 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
212 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
213 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
214 - replaced INSTALL file.
215
2165.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
217 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
218 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
219 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
220 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
221 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
222 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
223 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
224 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
225
2265.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
227 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
228 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
229 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
230 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
231 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
232 Affects display in iso14755 box.
233 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
234 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
235 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
236 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
237 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
238 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
239 cutting pieces off of characters.
240 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
241 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
242 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
243 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
244 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
245 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
246 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
247
2485.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
249 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
250 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
251 meaning of the given key.
252 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
253 (patch by Martin Edlman).
254
2555.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
256 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
257 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
258 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
259 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
260 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
261 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
262 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
263 to disable it.
264
2655.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
266 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
267 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
268 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
269 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
270 with modifiers.
271 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
272 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
273 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
274 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
275 and clear the scrollback buffer.
276
2775.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
278 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
279 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
280 a command.
281 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
282 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
283 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
284 in Perl/Gtk2.
285 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
286 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
287 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
288 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
289 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
290 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
291 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
292 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
293 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
294 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
295 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
296 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
297 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
298 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
299 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
300 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
301 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
302 rxvt-unicode).
303 - get rid of the intpro files.
304
3055.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
306 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
307 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
308 (Kuang-che Wu).
309 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
310 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
311 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
312 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
313 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
314 along with other, similar, cleanups.
315 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
316 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
317 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
318 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
319 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
320 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
321
3225.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
323 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
324 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
325 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
326 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
327 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
328 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
329 his patience and time in tracking this down).
330 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
331 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
332 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
333 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
334 by Joël Riou).
335 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
336 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
337 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
338 - shaved off some code segment size.
339 - various code cleanups.
340 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
341
3424.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
343 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
344 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
345 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
346 -pixmap is active.
347 - new option/resource imFont.
348 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
349 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
350 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
351 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
352 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
353 (WU Fengguang).
354 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
355 examples (rxvt.1).
356 - removed src/test completely.
357 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
358
3594.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
360 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
361 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
362 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
363 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
364 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
365 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
366 resulting in segfaults.
367 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
368 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
369 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
370 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
371 (Mikael Magnusson).
372 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
373 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
374 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
375 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
376 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
377 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
378 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
379 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
380 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
381 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
382 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
383 - initialize the locale much earlier.
384 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
385
3864.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
387 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
388 black on initial startup.
389 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
390 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
391 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
392 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
393 additional multimedia keys.
394 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
395 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
396
3974.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
14 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even 398 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
15 if it slows down large pastes. 399 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
400 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
401 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
402 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
403 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
404 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
405 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
406 ignored.
407 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
408 instead.
409 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
410 (reported by hednod).
411 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
412 - fix atom name enumeration.

244.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004 4214.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
25 - rewrote handling of default-char width. 422 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
26 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING 423 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
27 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window 424 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
28 titles etc. 425 titles etc.
29 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this. 426 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
30 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang). 427 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
