20DO NOT USE, CURRENTLY TOTALLY BROKEN W.R.T. XFT FONTS
219.0
22 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
23 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
24 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
25 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
26 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
27 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
28 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
29 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
30 till the first event arrives. or so.
31 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
32 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
33 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
34 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
35 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
36 resets the terminal.
37 - scrollbar code cleanups.
38
398.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
40 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
41 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
42 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
43 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
44 would not clear it visually in another.
45 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
46 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
47 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
48 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
49 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
50 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
51
528.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
53 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
54 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
55 effects.
56 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
57 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
58 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
59 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
60 text was visible.
61 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
62 some minor improvements.
63 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
64 display and not once per terminal window.
65 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
66
678.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
68 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
69 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
70 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
71
728.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
73 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
74 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
75 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
76 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
77 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
78 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
79 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
80
818.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
82 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
83
848.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
85 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
86 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
87 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
88 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
89 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
90 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
91 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
92 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
93 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
94 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
95 - parallel builds should work once more.
96
978.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
98 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
99 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
100 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
101 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
102 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
103 missing DISPLAY.
104 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
105 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
106 - updated io_manager.
107
1088.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
109 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
110 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
111 /usr/X11R6/lib.
112 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
113 patch by Sasha Vasko.
114 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
115 (patch by Philip Paeps).
116 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
117 (patch by Mikachu).
118 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
119 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
120 digit (exg).
121 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
122 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
123 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
124 extension (tpope).
125 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
126 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
127 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
128 problems.
129
1308.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
131 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
132 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
133 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
134 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
135 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
136 (found by Aiviru).
137 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
138 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
139 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
140 case to work around for :/
141 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
142 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
143 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
144 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
145 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
146 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
147 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
148 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
149 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
150 Paskevich).
151 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
152 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
153 - update libptytty.
154 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
155 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
156 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
157 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
158 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
159 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
160 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
161 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
162 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
163
1648.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
165 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
166 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
167 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
168 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
169 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
170 Reported by Takano Akio.
171 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
172 reported by exg.
173 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
174 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
175 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
176 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
177
1788.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
179 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
180 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
181 circumstances (reported by exg).
182 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
183 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
184 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
185 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
186 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
187 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
188 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
189 - update to libptytty-1.0.
190 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
191 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
192 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
193 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
194 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
195 bug #143985).
196 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
197 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
198 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
199 - manpage fix by exg.
200
2017.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
202 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
203 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
204 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
205 it does! :->
206 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
207 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
208
2097.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
210 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
211 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
212 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
213 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
214 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
215 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
216 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
217 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
218 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
219 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
220 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
221 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
222 uppercase character.
223 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
224 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
225 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
226 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
227 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
228 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
229 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
230 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
231 generic osc_seq.
232 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
233 were invoked recursively.
234 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
235 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
236 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
237 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
238 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
239 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
240 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
241 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
242 by omatunto_.
243 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
244 follow C++ closely enough.
245 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
246 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
247 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
248 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
249
2507.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
251 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
252 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
253 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
254 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
255 click, and eats the click.
256 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
257 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
258 refresh bugs please.
259 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
260 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
261 improve size hint setting.
262 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
263 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
264 to correctly position their preedit window.
265 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
266 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
267 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
268 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
269 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
270 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
271 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
272 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
273 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
274 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
275 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
276 (reported by Paco-Paco).
277 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
278 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
279 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
280
2817.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
282 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
283 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
284 resource value.
285 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
286 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
287 relevant tab window.
288 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
289 (initial patch by hednod).
290 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
291 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
292 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
293 the benefit of automove-background.
294 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
295 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
296 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
297 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
298 __linux__.
299 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
300 the colour components.
301 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
302 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
303 - more colour rtt optimisations.
304 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
305 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
306 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
307 - minor libptytty update.
308
3097.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
310 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
311 detection:
312 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
313 - overlap detection was improved.
314 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
315 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
316 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
317 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
318 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
319 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
320 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
321 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
322 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
323 broken.
324 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
325 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
326 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
327 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
328 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
329 (patch by Paco-Paco).
330 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
331 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
332 an "[alpha]" prefix.
333 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
334 transparent. Long Live Xft!
335 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
336 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
337 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
338 on a pseudocolor screen.
339 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
340 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
341 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
342 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
343 - small configure updates.
344 - further RTT optimisations.
345 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
346 the debian package.
347 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
348 but much newer than the old one.
349
3507.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
351 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
352 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
353 - small configure updates for libptytty.
354 - fixed version options: line output.
355 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
356
3577.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
358 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
359 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
360 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
361 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
362 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
363 selection extension.
364 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
365 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
366 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
367 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
368 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
369 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
370 needs the careful rendering mode.
371 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
372 too wide and needs careful mode.
373 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
374 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
375 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
376 atoms only once per display.
377 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
378 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
379 xterm.
380
3817.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
382 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
383 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
384 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
385 ctrl-shift-672c).
386 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
387 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
388 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
389 the primary screen.
390 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
391 could lead to an assertion failure.
392 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
393 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
394 via mouse clicks.
395 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
396 with shift - mouse button 2.
397 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
398 in non-synthetic events.
399 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
400 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
401 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
402 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
403 whole urxvt[d] process.
404 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
405 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
406 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
407 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
408
4097.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
410 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
411 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
412 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
413 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
414 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
415 special privileges.
416 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
417 itself.
418 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
419 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
420 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
421 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
422 similar stuff.
423 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
424 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
425 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
426 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
427 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
428 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
429 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
430 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
431 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
432 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
433 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
434 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
435 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
436 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
437 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
438 to set the window title.
439 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
440 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
441 at the wrong time.
442 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
443 anymore.
444 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
445 - nuked QNX support.
446 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
447 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
448 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
449 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
450
4517.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
452 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
453 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
454 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
455 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
456 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
457 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
458 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
459 and much much more.
460 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
461 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
462 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
463 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
464 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
465 setuid/setgid.
466 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
467 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
468 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
469 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
470 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
471 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
472 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
473 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
474 compatible, and not really small either.
475 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
476 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
477 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
478 to crashes.
479 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
480 colours.
481 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
482 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
483
4846.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
485 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
486 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
487 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
488 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
489 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
490 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
491 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
492 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
493 by Mikachu).
494 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
495 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
496 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
497 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
498 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
499 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
500 - fix directory permissions on install.
501 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
502 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
503 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
504 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
505 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
506
5076.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
508 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
509 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
510 Chuck Blake.
511 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
512 obscure the mouse cursor position.
513 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
514 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
515 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
516 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
517 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
518 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
519 transfer efficiency.
520 - further minor cleanups.
521
5226.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
523 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
524 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
525 while the user still drags.
526 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
527 not drawn correctly.
528 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
529 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
530 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
531 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
532 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
533 stripping whitespace.
534 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
535 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
536
5376.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
538 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
539 - enable slow link support by default.
540 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
541 (also a bug in original rxvt).
542 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
543 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
544 partial patch).
545 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
546 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
547 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
548 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
549 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
550 - implement -hold option.
551 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
552 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
553 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
554 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
555 - slight overall speed improvements.
556 - considerably improved code clarity.
557 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
558 buffer.
559
5605.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
561 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
562 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
563 (matters only for rxvtd).
564 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
565 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
566 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
567
5685.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
569 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
570 If you want the old behaviour, try:
571 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
572 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
573 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
574 percentage by 100-percentage.
575 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
576 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
577 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
578 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
579 windows.
580 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
581 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
582 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
583 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
584 - replaced INSTALL file.
585
5865.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
587 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
588 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
589 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
590 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
591 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
592 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
593 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
594 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
595
5965.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
597 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
598 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
599 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
600 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
601 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
602 Affects display in iso14755 box.
603 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
604 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
605 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
606 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
607 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
608 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
609 cutting pieces off of characters.
610 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
611 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
612 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
613 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
614 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
615 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
616 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
617
6185.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
619 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
620 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
621 meaning of the given key.
622 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
623 (patch by Martin Edlman).
624
6255.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
626 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
627 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
628 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
629 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
630 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
631 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
632 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
633 to disable it.
634
6355.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
636 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
637 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
638 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
639 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
640 with modifiers.
641 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
642 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
643 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
644 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
645 and clear the scrollback buffer.
646
6475.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
648 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
649 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
650 a command.
651 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
652 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
653 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
654 in Perl/Gtk2.
655 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
656 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
657 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
658 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
659 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
660 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
661 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
662 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
663 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
664 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
665 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
666 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
667 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
668 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
669 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
670 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
671 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
672 rxvt-unicode).
673 - get rid of the intpro files.
674
6755.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
676 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
677 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
678 (Kuang-che Wu).
679 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
680 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
681 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
682 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
683 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
684 along with other, similar, cleanups.
685 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
686 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
687 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
688 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
689 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
690 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
691
6925.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
693 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
694 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
695 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
696 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
697 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
698 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
699 his patience and time in tracking this down).
700 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
701 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
702 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
703 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
704 by Joël Riou).
705 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
706 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
707 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
708 - shaved off some code segment size.
709 - various code cleanups.
710 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
711
7124.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
713 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
714 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
715 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
716 -pixmap is active.
717 - new option/resource imFont.
718 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
719 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
720 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
721 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
722 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
723 (WU Fengguang).
724 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
725 examples (rxvt.1).
726 - removed src/test completely.
727 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
728
7294.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
730 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
731 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
732 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
733 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
734 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
735 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
736 resulting in segfaults.
737 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
738 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
739 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
740 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
741 (Mikael Magnusson).
742 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
743 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
744 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
745 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
746 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
747 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
748 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
749 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
750 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
751 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
752 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
753 - initialize the locale much earlier.
754 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
755
7564.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
757 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
758 black on initial startup.
759 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
760 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
761 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
762 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
763 additional multimedia keys.
764 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
765 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
766
7674.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004

20 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement. 772 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
773 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
774 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
775 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
776 ignored.
21 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID 777 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
