12 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
13 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
14 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
15 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
16 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
17 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
18 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
19 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
20 by Mikachu).
21 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
22 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
23 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
24 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
25 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
26 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
27 - fix directory permissions on install.
28 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
29 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
30 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
31 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
32 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
33
346.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
35 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
36 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
37 Chuck Blake.
38 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
39 obscure the mouse cursor position.
40 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
41 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
42 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
43 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
44 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
45 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
46 transfer efficiency.
47 - further minor cleanups.
48
496.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
50 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
51 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
52 while the user still drags.
53 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
54 not drawn correctly.
55 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
56 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
57 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
58 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
59 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
60 stripping whitespace.
61 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
62 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
63
646.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
65 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
66 - enable slow link support by default.
67 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
68 (also a bug in original rxvt).
69 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
70 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
71 partial patch).
72 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
73 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
74 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
75 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
76 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
77 - implement -hold option.
78 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
79 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
80 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
81 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
82 - slight overall speed improvements.
83 - considerably improved code clarity.
84 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
85 buffer.
86
875.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
88 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
89 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
90 (matters only for rxvtd).
91 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
92 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
93 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
94
955.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
96 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
97 If you want the old behaviour, try:
98 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
99 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
100 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
101 percentage by 100-percentage.
102 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
103 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
104 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
105 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
106 windows.
107 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
108 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
109 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
110 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
111 - replaced INSTALL file.
112
1135.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
114 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
115 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
116 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
117 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
118 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
119 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
120 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
121 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
122
1235.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
124 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
125 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
126 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
127 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
128 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
129 Affects display in iso14755 box.
130 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
131 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
132 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
133 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
134 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
135 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
136 cutting pieces off of characters.
137 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
138 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
139 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
140 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
141 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
142 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
143 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
144
1455.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
146 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
147 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
148 meaning of the given key.
149 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
150 (patch by Martin Edlman).
151
1525.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
153 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
154 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
155 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
156 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
157 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
158 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
159 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
160 to disable it.
161
1625.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
163 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
164 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
165 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
166 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
167 with modifiers.
168 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
169 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
170 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
171 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
172 and clear the scrollback buffer.
173
1745.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
175 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
176 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
177 a command.
178 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
179 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
180 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
181 in Perl/Gtk2.
182 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
183 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
184 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
185 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
186 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
187 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
188 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
189 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
190 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
191 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
192 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
193 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
194 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
195 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
196 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
197 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
198 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
199 rxvt-unicode).
200 - get rid of the intpro files.
201
2025.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
203 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
204 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
205 (Kuang-che Wu).
206 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
207 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
208 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
209 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
210 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
211 along with other, similar, cleanups.
212 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
213 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
214 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
215 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
216 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
217 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
218
2195.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
220 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
221 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
222 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
223 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
224 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
225 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
226 his patience and time in tracking this down).
227 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
228 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
229 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
230 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
231 by Joël Riou).
232 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
233 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
234 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
235 - shaved off some code segment size.
236 - various code cleanups.
237 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
238
