5TODO: configurable underline line colour. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7FEAT: hotkey font resizing 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
8FEAT: searchable backlog 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12FEAT: OnTheSpot editing. 15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
13FEAT: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts
14 19
20 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
21 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
22 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
23 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
24 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
25
268.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
27 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
28
298.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
30 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
31 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
32 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
33 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
34 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
35 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
36 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
37 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
38 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
39 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
40 - parallel builds should work once more.
41
428.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
43 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
44 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
45 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
46 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
47 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
48 missing DISPLAY.
49 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
50 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
51 - updated io_manager.
52
538.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
54 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
55 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
56 /usr/X11R6/lib.
57 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
58 patch by Sasha Vasko.
59 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
60 (patch by Philip Paeps).
61 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
62 (patch by Mikachu).
63 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
64 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
65 digit (exg).
66 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
67 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
68 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
69 extension (tpope).
70 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
71 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
72 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
73 problems.
74
758.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
76 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
77 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
78 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
79 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
80 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
81 (found by Aiviru).
82 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
83 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
84 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
85 case to work around for :/
86 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
87 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
88 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
89 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
90 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
91 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
92 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
93 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
94 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
95 Paskevich).
96 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
97 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
98 - update libptytty.
99 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
100 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
101 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
102 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
103 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
104 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
105 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
106 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
107 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
108
1098.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
110 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
111 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
112 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
113 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
114 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
115 Reported by Takano Akio.
116 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
117 reported by exg.
118 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
119 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
120 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
121 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
122
1238.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
124 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
125 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
126 circumstances (reported by exg).
127 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
128 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
129 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
130 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
131 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
132 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
133 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
134 - update to libptytty-1.0.
135 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
136 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
137 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
138 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
139 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
140 bug #143985).
141 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
142 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
143 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
144 - manpage fix by exg.
145
1467.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
147 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
148 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
149 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
150 it does! :->
151 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
152 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
153
1547.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
155 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
156 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
157 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
158 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
159 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
160 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
161 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
162 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
163 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
164 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
165 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
166 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
167 uppercase character.
168 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
169 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
170 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
171 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
172 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
173 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
174 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
175 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
176 generic osc_seq.
177 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
178 were invoked recursively.
179 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
180 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
181 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
182 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
183 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
184 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
185 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
186 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
187 by omatunto_.
188 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
189 follow C++ closely enough.
190 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
191 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
192 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
193 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
194
1957.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
196 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
197 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
198 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
199 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
200 click, and eats the click.
201 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
202 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
203 refresh bugs please.
204 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
205 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
206 improve size hint setting.
207 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
208 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
209 to correctly position their preedit window.
210 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
211 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
212 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
213 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
214 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
215 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
216 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
217 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
218 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
219 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
220 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
221 (reported by Paco-Paco).
222 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
223 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
224 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
225
2267.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
227 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
228 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
229 resource value.
230 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
231 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
232 relevant tab window.
233 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
234 (initial patch by hednod).
235 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
236 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
237 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
238 the benefit of automove-background.
239 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
240 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
241 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
242 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
243 __linux__.
244 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
245 the colour components.
246 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
247 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
248 - more colour rtt optimisations.
249 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
250 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
251 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
252 - minor libptytty update.
253
2547.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
255 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
256 detection:
257 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
258 - overlap detection was improved.
259 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
260 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
261 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
262 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
263 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
264 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
265 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
266 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
267 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
268 broken.
269 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
270 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
271 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
272 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
273 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
274 (patch by Paco-Paco).
275 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
276 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
277 an "[alpha]" prefix.
278 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
279 transparent. Long Live Xft!
280 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
281 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
282 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
283 on a pseudocolor screen.
284 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
285 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
286 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
287 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
288 - small configure updates.
289 - further RTT optimisations.
290 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
291 the debian package.
292 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
293 but much newer than the old one.
294
2957.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
296 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
297 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
298 - small configure updates for libptytty.
299 - fixed version options: line output.
300 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
301
3027.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
303 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
304 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
305 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
306 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
307 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
308 selection extension.
309 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
310 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
311 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
312 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
313 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
314 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
315 needs the careful rendering mode.
316 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
317 too wide and needs careful mode.
318 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
319 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
320 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
321 atoms only once per display.
322 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
323 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
324 xterm.
325
3267.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
327 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
328 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
329 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
330 ctrl-shift-672c).
331 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
332 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
333 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
334 the primary screen.
335 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
336 could lead to an assertion failure.
337 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
338 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
339 via mouse clicks.
340 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
341 with shift - mouse button 2.
342 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
343 in non-synthetic events.
344 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
345 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
346 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
347 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
348 whole urxvt[d] process.
349 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
350 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
351 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
352 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
353
3547.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
355 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
356 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
357 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
358 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
359 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
360 special privileges.
361 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
362 itself.
363 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
364 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
365 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
366 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
367 similar stuff.
368 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
369 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
370 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
371 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
372 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
373 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
374 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
375 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
376 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
377 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
378 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
379 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
380 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
381 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
382 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
383 to set the window title.
384 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
385 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
386 at the wrong time.
387 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
388 anymore.
389 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
390 - nuked QNX support.
391 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
392 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
393 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
394 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
395
3967.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
397 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
398 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
399 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
400 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
401 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
402 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
403 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
404 and much much more.
405 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
406 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
407 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
408 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
409 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
410 setuid/setgid.
411 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
412 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
413 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
414 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
415 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
416 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
417 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
418 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
419 compatible, and not really small either.
420 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
421 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
422 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
423 to crashes.
424 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
425 colours.
426 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
427 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
428
4296.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
430 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
431 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
432 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
433 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
434 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
435 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
436 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
437 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
438 by Mikachu).
439 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
440 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
441 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
442 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
443 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
444 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
445 - fix directory permissions on install.
446 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
447 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
448 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
449 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
450 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
451
4526.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
453 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
454 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
455 Chuck Blake.
456 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
457 obscure the mouse cursor position.
458 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
459 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
460 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
461 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
462 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
463 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
464 transfer efficiency.
465 - further minor cleanups.
466
4676.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
468 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
469 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
470 while the user still drags.
471 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
472 not drawn correctly.
473 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
474 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
475 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
476 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
477 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
478 stripping whitespace.
479 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
480 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
481
4826.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
483 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
484 - enable slow link support by default.
485 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
486 (also a bug in original rxvt).
487 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
488 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
489 partial patch).
490 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
491 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
492 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
493 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
494 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
495 - implement -hold option.
496 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
497 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
498 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
499 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
500 - slight overall speed improvements.
501 - considerably improved code clarity.
502 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
503 buffer.
504
5055.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
506 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
507 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
508 (matters only for rxvtd).
509 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
510 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
511 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
512
5135.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
514 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
515 If you want the old behaviour, try:
516 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
517 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
518 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
519 percentage by 100-percentage.
520 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
521 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
522 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
523 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
524 windows.
525 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
526 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
527 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
528 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
529 - replaced INSTALL file.
530
5315.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
532 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
533 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
534 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
535 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
536 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
537 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
538 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
539 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
540
5415.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
542 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
543 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
544 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
545 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
546 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
547 Affects display in iso14755 box.
548 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
549 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
550 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
551 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
552 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
553 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
554 cutting pieces off of characters.
555 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
556 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
557 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
558 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
559 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
560 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
561 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
562
5635.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
564 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
565 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
566 meaning of the given key.
567 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
568 (patch by Martin Edlman).
569
5705.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
571 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
572 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
573 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
574 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
575 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
576 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
577 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
578 to disable it.
579
5805.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
581 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
582 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
583 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
584 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
585 with modifiers.
586 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
587 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
588 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
589 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
590 and clear the scrollback buffer.
591
5925.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
593 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
594 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
595 a command.
596 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
597 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
598 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
599 in Perl/Gtk2.
600 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
601 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
602 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
603 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
604 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
605 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
606 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
607 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
608 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
609 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
610 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
611 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
612 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
613 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
614 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
615 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
616 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
617 rxvt-unicode).
618 - get rid of the intpro files.
619
6205.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
621 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
622 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
623 (Kuang-che Wu).
624 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
625 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
626 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
627 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
628 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
629 along with other, similar, cleanups.
630 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
631 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
632 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
633 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
634 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
635 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
636
6375.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
638 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
639 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
640 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
641 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
642 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
643 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
644 his patience and time in tracking this down).
645 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
646 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
647 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
648 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
649 by Joël Riou).
650 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
651 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
652 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
653 - shaved off some code segment size.
654 - various code cleanups.
655 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
656
6574.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
658 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
659 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
660 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
661 -pixmap is active.
662 - new option/resource imFont.
663 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
664 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
665 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
666 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
667 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
668 (WU Fengguang).
669 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
670 examples (rxvt.1).
671 - removed src/test completely.
672 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
673
6744.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
675 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
676 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
677 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
678 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
679 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
680 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
681 resulting in segfaults.
682 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
683 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
684 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
685 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
686 (Mikael Magnusson).
687 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
688 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
689 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
690 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
691 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
692 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
693 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
694 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
695 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
696 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
697 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
698 - initialize the locale much earlier.
699 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
700
7014.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
702 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
703 black on initial startup.
704 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
705 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
706 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
707 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
708 additional multimedia keys.
709 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
710 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
711
7124.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004

16 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 714 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
715 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
716 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
717 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
718 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
719 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
720 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
721 ignored.
722 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
723 instead.
724 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
725 (reported by hednod).
17 - fix an unlikely memory leak. 726 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
18 - fix atom name enumeration. 727 - fix atom name enumeration.
