15 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
16 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
17 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
18 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
19 - small configure updates.
20
217.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
22 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
23 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
24 - small configure updates for libptytty.
25 - fixed version options: line output.
26 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
27
287.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
29 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
30 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
31 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
32 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
33 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
34 selection extension.
35 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
36 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
37 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
38 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
39 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
40 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
41 needs the careful rendering mode.
42 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
43 too wide and needs careful mode.
44 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
45 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
46 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
47 atoms only once per display.
48 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
49 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
50 xterm.
51
527.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
53 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
54 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
55 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
56 ctrl-shift-672c).
57 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
58 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
59 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
60 the primary screen.
61 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
62 could lead to an assertion failure.
63 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
64 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
65 via mouse clicks.
66 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
67 with shift - mouse button 2.
68 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
69 in non-synthetic events.
70 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
71 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
72 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
73 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
74 whole urxvt[d] process.
75 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
76 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
77 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
78 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
79
807.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
81 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
82 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
83 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
84 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
85 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
86 special privileges.
87 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
88 itself.
89 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
90 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
91 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
92 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
93 similar stuff.
94 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
95 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
96 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
97 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
98 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
99 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
100 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
101 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
102 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
103 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
104 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
105 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
106 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
107 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
109 to set the window title.
110 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
111 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
112 at the wrong time.
113 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
114 anymore.
115 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
116 - nuked QNX support.
117 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
118 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
119 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
120 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
121
1227.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
123 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
124 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
125 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
126 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
127 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
128 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
129 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
130 and much much more.
131 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
132 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
133 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
134 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
135 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
136 setuid/setgid.
137 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
138 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
139 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
140 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
141 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
142 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
144 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
145 compatible, and not really small either.
146 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
147 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
148 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
149 to crashes.
150 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
151 colours.
152 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
153 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
154
1556.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
156 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
157 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
158 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
159 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
160 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
161 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
162 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
163 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
164 by Mikachu).
165 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
166 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
167 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
168 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
169 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
170 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
171 - fix directory permissions on install.
172 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
173 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
174 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
175 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
176 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
177
1786.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
179 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
180 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
181 Chuck Blake.
182 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
183 obscure the mouse cursor position.
184 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
185 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
186 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
187 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
188 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
189 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
190 transfer efficiency.
191 - further minor cleanups.
192
1936.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
194 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
195 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
196 while the user still drags.
197 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
198 not drawn correctly.
199 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
200 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
201 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
202 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
203 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
204 stripping whitespace.
205 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
206 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
207
2086.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
209 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
210 - enable slow link support by default.
211 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
212 (also a bug in original rxvt).
213 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
214 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
215 partial patch).
216 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
217 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
218 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
219 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
220 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
221 - implement -hold option.
222 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
223 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
224 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
225 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
226 - slight overall speed improvements.
227 - considerably improved code clarity.
228 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
229 buffer.
230
2315.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
232 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
233 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
234 (matters only for rxvtd).
235 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
236 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
237 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
238
2395.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
240 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
241 If you want the old behaviour, try:
242 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
243 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
244 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
245 percentage by 100-percentage.
246 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
247 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
248 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
249 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
250 windows.
251 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
252 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
253 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
254 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
255 - replaced INSTALL file.
256
2575.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
258 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
259 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
260 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
261 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
262 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
263 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
264 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
265 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
266
2675.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
268 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
269 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
270 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
271 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
272 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
273 Affects display in iso14755 box.
274 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
275 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
276 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
277 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
278 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
279 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
280 cutting pieces off of characters.
281 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
282 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
283 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
284 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
285 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
286 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
287 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
288
2895.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
290 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
291 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
292 meaning of the given key.
293 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
294 (patch by Martin Edlman).
295
2965.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
297 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
298 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
299 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
300 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
301 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
302 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
303 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
304 to disable it.
305
3065.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
307 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
308 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
309 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
310 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
311 with modifiers.
312 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
313 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
314 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
315 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
316 and clear the scrollback buffer.
317
3185.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
319 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
320 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
321 a command.
322 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
323 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
324 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
325 in Perl/Gtk2.
326 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
327 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
328 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
329 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
330 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
331 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
332 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
333 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
334 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
335 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
336 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
337 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
338 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
339 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
340 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
341 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
342 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
343 rxvt-unicode).
344 - get rid of the intpro files.
345
3465.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
347 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
348 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
349 (Kuang-che Wu).
350 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
351 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
352 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
353 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
354 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
355 along with other, similar, cleanups.
356 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
357 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
358 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
359 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
360 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
361 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
362
3635.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
364 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
365 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
366 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
367 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
368 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
369 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
370 his patience and time in tracking this down).
371 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
372 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
373 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
374 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
375 by Joël Riou).
376 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
377 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
378 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
379 - shaved off some code segment size.
380 - various code cleanups.
381 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
382
3834.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
384 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
385 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
386 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
387 -pixmap is active.
388 - new option/resource imFont.
389 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
390 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
391 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
392 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
393 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
394 (WU Fengguang).
395 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
396 examples (rxvt.1).
397 - removed src/test completely.
398 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
399
4004.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
401 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
402 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
403 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
404 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
405 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
406 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
407 resulting in segfaults.
408 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
409 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
410 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
411 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
412 (Mikael Magnusson).
413 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
414 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
415 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
416 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
417 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
418 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
419 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
420 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
421 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
422 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
423 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
424 - initialize the locale much earlier.
425 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
426
4274.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
428 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
429 black on initial startup.
430 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
431 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
432 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
433 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
434 additional multimedia keys.
435 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
436 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
437
4384.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
15 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even 439 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
16 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 440 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
17 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
