159.0
16 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
17 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
18 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
19 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
20 at the wrong time.
21 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
22 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
23 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
24 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
25 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
26 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
27 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
28 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
29 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up
30 and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code.
31 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C.
32 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
33 to set the window title.
34
357.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
36 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
37 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
38 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
39 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
40 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
41 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
42 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
43 and much much more.
44 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
45 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
46 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
47 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
48 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
49 setuid/setgid.
50 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
51 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
52 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
53 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
54 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
55 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
56 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
57 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
58 compatible, and not really small either.
59 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
60 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
61 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
62 to crashes.
63 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
64 colours.
65 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
66 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
67
686.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
69 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
70 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
71 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
72 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
73 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
74 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
75 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
76 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
77 by Mikachu).
78 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
79 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
80 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
81 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
82 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
83 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
84 - fix directory permissions on install.
85 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
86 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
87 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
88 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
89 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
90
916.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
92 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
93 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
94 Chuck Blake.
95 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
96 obscure the mouse cursor position.
97 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
98 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
99 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
100 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
101 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
102 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
103 transfer efficiency.
104 - further minor cleanups.
105
1066.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
107 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
108 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
109 while the user still drags.
110 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
111 not drawn correctly.
112 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
113 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
114 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
115 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
116 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
117 stripping whitespace.
118 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
119 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
120
1216.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
122 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
123 - enable slow link support by default.
124 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
125 (also a bug in original rxvt).
126 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
127 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
128 partial patch).
129 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
130 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
131 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
132 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
133 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
134 - implement -hold option.
135 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
136 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
137 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
138 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
139 - slight overall speed improvements.
140 - considerably improved code clarity.
141 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
142 buffer.
143
1445.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
145 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
146 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
147 (matters only for rxvtd).
148 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
149 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
150 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
151
1525.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
153 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
154 If you want the old behaviour, try:
155 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
156 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
157 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
158 percentage by 100-percentage.
159 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
160 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
161 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
162 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
163 windows.
164 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
165 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
166 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
167 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
168 - replaced INSTALL file.
169
1705.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
171 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
172 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
173 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
174 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
175 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
176 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
177 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
178 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
179
1805.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
181 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
182 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
183 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
184 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
185 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
186 Affects display in iso14755 box.
187 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
188 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
189 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
190 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
191 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
192 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
193 cutting pieces off of characters.
194 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
195 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
196 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
197 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
198 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
199 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
200 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
201
2025.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
203 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
204 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
205 meaning of the given key.
206 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
207 (patch by Martin Edlman).
208
2095.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
210 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
211 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
212 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
213 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
214 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
215 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
216 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
217 to disable it.
218
2195.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
220 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
221 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
222 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
223 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
224 with modifiers.
225 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
226 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
227 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
228 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
229 and clear the scrollback buffer.
230
2315.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
232 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
233 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
234 a command.
235 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
236 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
237 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
238 in Perl/Gtk2.
239 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
240 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
241 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
242 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
243 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
244 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
245 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
246 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
247 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
248 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
249 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
250 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
251 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
252 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
253 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
254 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
255 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
256 rxvt-unicode).
257 - get rid of the intpro files.
258
2595.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
260 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
261 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
262 (Kuang-che Wu).
263 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
264 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
265 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
266 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
267 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
268 along with other, similar, cleanups.
269 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
270 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
271 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
272 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
273 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
274 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
275
2765.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
277 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
278 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
279 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
280 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
281 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
282 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
283 his patience and time in tracking this down).
284 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
285 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
286 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
287 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
288 by Joël Riou).
289 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
290 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
291 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
292 - shaved off some code segment size.
293 - various code cleanups.
294 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
295
2964.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
297 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
298 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
299 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
300 -pixmap is active.
301 - new option/resource imFont.
302 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
303 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
304 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
305 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
306 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
307 (WU Fengguang).
308 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
309 examples (rxvt.1).
310 - removed src/test completely.
311 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
312
3134.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
314 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
315 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
316 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
317 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
318 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
319 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
320 resulting in segfaults.
321 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
322 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
323 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
324 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
325 (Mikael Magnusson).
326 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
327 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
328 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
329 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
330 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
331 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
332 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
333 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
334 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
335 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
336 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
337 - initialize the locale much earlier.
338 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
339
3404.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
341 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
342 black on initial startup.
343 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
344 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
345 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
346 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
347 additional multimedia keys.
348 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
349 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
350
3514.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
