16TODO: distributed clipboard example
17
18 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
19 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
20 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
21 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
22 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
23 special privileges.
24 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
25 itself.
26 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
27 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
28 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
29 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
30 similar stuff.
31 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
32 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
33 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
34 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
35 - some fixes to xpm offste and scaling code.
36 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
37 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
38 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
39 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
40 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
41 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
42 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
43 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
44 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
45 to set the window title.
46 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
47 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
48 at the wrong time.
49 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
50 anymore.
51 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
52 - nuked QNX support.
53 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
54 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
55
567.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
57 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
58 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
59 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
60 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
61 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
62 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
63 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
64 and much much more.
65 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
66 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
67 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
68 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
69 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
70 setuid/setgid.
71 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
72 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
73 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
74 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
75 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
76 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
77 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
78 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
79 compatible, and not really small either.
80 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
81 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
82 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
83 to crashes.
84 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
85 colours.
86 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
87 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
88
896.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
90 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
91 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
92 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
93 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
94 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
95 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
96 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
97 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
98 by Mikachu).
99 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
100 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
101 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
102 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
103 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
104 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
105 - fix directory permissions on install.
106 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
107 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
108 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
109 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
110 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
111
1126.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
113 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
114 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
115 Chuck Blake.
116 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
117 obscure the mouse cursor position.
118 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
119 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
120 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
121 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
122 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
123 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
124 transfer efficiency.
125 - further minor cleanups.
126
1276.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
128 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
129 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
130 while the user still drags.
131 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
132 not drawn correctly.
133 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
134 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
135 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
136 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
137 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
138 stripping whitespace.
139 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
140 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
141
1426.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
143 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
144 - enable slow link support by default.
145 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
146 (also a bug in original rxvt).
147 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
148 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
149 partial patch).
150 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
151 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
152 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
153 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
154 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
155 - implement -hold option.
156 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
157 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
158 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
159 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
160 - slight overall speed improvements.
161 - considerably improved code clarity.
162 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
163 buffer.
164
1655.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
166 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
167 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
168 (matters only for rxvtd).
169 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
170 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
171 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
172
1735.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
174 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
175 If you want the old behaviour, try:
176 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
177 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
178 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
179 percentage by 100-percentage.
180 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
181 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
182 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
183 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
184 windows.
185 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
186 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
187 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
188 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
189 - replaced INSTALL file.
190
1915.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
192 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
193 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
194 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
195 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
196 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
197 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
198 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
199 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
200
2015.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
202 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
203 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
204 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
205 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
206 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
207 Affects display in iso14755 box.
208 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
209 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
210 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
211 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
212 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
213 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
214 cutting pieces off of characters.
215 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
216 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
217 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
218 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
219 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
220 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
221 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
222
2235.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
224 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
225 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
226 meaning of the given key.
227 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
228 (patch by Martin Edlman).
229
2305.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
231 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
232 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
233 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
234 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
235 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
236 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
237 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
238 to disable it.
239
2405.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
241 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
242 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
243 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
244 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
245 with modifiers.
246 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
247 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
248 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
249 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
250 and clear the scrollback buffer.
251
2525.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
253 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
254 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
255 a command.
256 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
257 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
258 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
259 in Perl/Gtk2.
260 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
261 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
262 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
263 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
264 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
265 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
266 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
267 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
268 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
269 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
270 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
271 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
272 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
273 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
274 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
275 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
276 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
277 rxvt-unicode).
278 - get rid of the intpro files.
279
2805.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
281 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
282 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
283 (Kuang-che Wu).
284 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
285 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
286 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
287 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
288 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
289 along with other, similar, cleanups.
290 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
291 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
292 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
293 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
294 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
295 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
296
2975.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
298 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
299 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
300 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
301 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
302 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
303 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
304 his patience and time in tracking this down).
305 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
306 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
307 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
308 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
309 by Joël Riou).
310 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
311 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
312 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
313 - shaved off some code segment size.
314 - various code cleanups.
315 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
