159.0
16 - new script: perl/selection-pastebin
17 - improved security of setuid/setgid operation, which is now
18 encouraged, by moving privileged operations into a separate
19 process and permanently dropping privileges within the
20 terminal. This makes it possible to remove security checks from
21 the perl code and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to
22 run with special privileges.
23 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
24 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
25 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
26 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
27 at the wrong time.
28 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
29 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
30 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
31 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
32 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
33 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
34 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
35 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
36 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
37 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
38 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
39 anymore.
40 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
41 to set the window title.
42 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
43 - nuked QNX support.
44
457.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
46 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
47 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
48 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
49 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
50 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
51 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
52 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
53 and much much more.
54 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
55 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
56 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
57 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
58 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
59 setuid/setgid.
60 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
61 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
62 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
63 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
64 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
65 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
67 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
68 compatible, and not really small either.
69 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
70 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
71 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
72 to crashes.
73 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
74 colours.
75 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
76 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
77
786.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
79 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
80 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
81 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
82 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
83 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
84 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
85 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
86 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
87 by Mikachu).
88 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
89 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
90 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
91 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
92 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
93 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
94 - fix directory permissions on install.
95 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
96 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
97 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
98 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
99 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
100
1016.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
102 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
103 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
104 Chuck Blake.
105 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
106 obscure the mouse cursor position.
107 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
108 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
109 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
110 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
111 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
112 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
113 transfer efficiency.
114 - further minor cleanups.
115
1166.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
117 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
118 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
119 while the user still drags.
120 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
121 not drawn correctly.
122 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
123 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
124 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
125 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
126 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
127 stripping whitespace.
128 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
129 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
130
1316.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
132 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
133 - enable slow link support by default.
134 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
135 (also a bug in original rxvt).
136 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
137 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
138 partial patch).
139 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
140 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
141 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
142 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
143 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
144 - implement -hold option.
145 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
146 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
147 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
148 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
149 - slight overall speed improvements.
150 - considerably improved code clarity.
151 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
152 buffer.
153
1545.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
155 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
156 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
157 (matters only for rxvtd).
158 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
159 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
160 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
161
1625.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
163 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
164 If you want the old behaviour, try:
165 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
166 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
167 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
168 percentage by 100-percentage.
169 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
170 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
171 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
172 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
173 windows.
174 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
175 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
176 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
177 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
178 - replaced INSTALL file.
179
1805.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
181 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
182 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
183 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
184 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
185 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
186 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
187 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
188 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
189
1905.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
191 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
192 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
193 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
194 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
195 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
196 Affects display in iso14755 box.
197 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
198 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
199 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
200 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
201 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
202 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
203 cutting pieces off of characters.
204 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
205 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
206 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
207 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
208 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
209 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
210 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
211
2125.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
213 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
214 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
215 meaning of the given key.
216 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
217 (patch by Martin Edlman).
218
2195.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
220 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
221 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
222 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
223 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
224 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
225 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
226 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
227 to disable it.
228
2295.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
230 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
231 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
232 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
233 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
234 with modifiers.
235 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
236 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
237 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
238 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
239 and clear the scrollback buffer.
240
2415.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
242 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
243 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
244 a command.
245 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
246 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
247 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
248 in Perl/Gtk2.
249 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
250 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
251 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
252 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
253 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
254 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
255 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
256 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
257 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
258 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
259 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
260 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
261 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
262 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
263 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
264 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
265 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
266 rxvt-unicode).
267 - get rid of the intpro files.
268
2695.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
270 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
271 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
272 (Kuang-che Wu).
273 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
274 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
275 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
276 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
277 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
278 along with other, similar, cleanups.
279 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
280 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
281 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
282 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
283 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
284 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
285
2865.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
287 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
288 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
289 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
290 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
291 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
292 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
293 his patience and time in tracking this down).
294 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
295 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
296 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
297 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
298 by Joël Riou).
299 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
300 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
301 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
302 - shaved off some code segment size.
303 - various code cleanups.
304 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
305
3064.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
307 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
308 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
309 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
310 -pixmap is active.
311 - new option/resource imFont.
312 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
313 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
314 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
315 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
316 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
317 (WU Fengguang).
318 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
319 examples (rxvt.1).
320 - removed src/test completely.
321 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
322
3234.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
324 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
325 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
326 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
327 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
328 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
329 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
330 resulting in segfaults.
331 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
332 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
333 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
334 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
335 (Mikael Magnusson).
336 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
337 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
338 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
339 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
340 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
341 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
342 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
343 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
344 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
345 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
346 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
347 - initialize the locale much earlier.
348 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
349
3504.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
351 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
352 black on initial startup.
353 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
354 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
355 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
356 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
357 additional multimedia keys.
358 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
359 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
360
3614.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
15 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even 362 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
16 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 363 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
364 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
365 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
366 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
367 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
368 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
369 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
370 ignored.
371 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
372 instead.
373 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
374 (reported by hednod).
17 - fix an unlikely memory leak. 375 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
18 - fix atom name enumeration. 376 - fix atom name enumeration.
19 - streamline atom allocation to reduce network latency slightly.
