4 2
3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
8WISH: hotkey font resizing (possible via keymaps) 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9WISH: searchable backlog 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12WISH: OnTheSpot editing. 16WISH: coloured pastebin
13WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 17WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
14WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 18WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
19WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
20DUMB: support tex fonts
21
22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
23
24TODO: investgate wm resize race: while sleep 0.001; do printf "\033[?30l";sleep 0.001;printf "\033[?30h";done
25TODO: investigate miroslav patches
26TODO: artificially enlargen wide characters at end to correctly cut&paste.
27TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
28 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
29 no longer apply.
30 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
31 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
32 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
33 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
34 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
35 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
36 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
37 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
38 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
39 the only known workaround.
40 - new option -icon, resource iconFile (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
41 - intiialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally.
42
439.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
44 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
45 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
46 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
47 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
48 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
49 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
50 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
51 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
52 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
53 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
54 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
55 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
56 help working window managers as well.
57 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
58 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
59 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
60 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
61 from the toplevel window to the children.
62 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
63 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
64 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
65 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
66
679.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
68 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
69 - fix build with !xft.
70 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
71
729.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
73 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
74 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
75 received" problem, again :)
76 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
77
789.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
79 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
80 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
81 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
82 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
83 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
84 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
85 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
86 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
87 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
88 channels or background images are used.
89 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
90 till the first event arrives. or so.
91 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
92 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
93 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
94 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
95 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
96 resets the terminal.
97 - scrollbar code cleanups.
98 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
99 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
100 - updated to libev 3.0.
101
1028.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
103 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
104 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
105 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
106 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
107 would not clear it visually in another.
108 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
109 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
110 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
111 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
112 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
113 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
114
1158.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
116 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
117 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
118 effects.
119 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
120 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
121 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
122 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
123 text was visible.
124 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
125 some minor improvements.
126 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
127 display and not once per terminal window.
128 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
129
1308.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
131 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
132 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
133 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
134
1358.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
136 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
137 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
138 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
139 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
140 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
141 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
142 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
143
1448.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
145 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
146
1478.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
148 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
149 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
150 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
151 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
152 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
153 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
154 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
155 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
156 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
157 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
158 - parallel builds should work once more.
159
1608.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
161 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
162 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
163 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
164 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
165 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
166 missing DISPLAY.
167 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
168 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
169 - updated io_manager.
170
1718.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
172 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
173 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
174 /usr/X11R6/lib.
175 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
176 patch by Sasha Vasko.
177 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
178 (patch by Philip Paeps).
179 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
180 (patch by Mikachu).
181 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
182 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
183 digit (exg).
184 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
185 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
186 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
187 extension (tpope).
188 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
189 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
190 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
191 problems.
192
1938.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
194 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
195 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
196 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
197 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
198 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
199 (found by Aiviru).
200 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
201 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
202 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
203 case to work around for :/
204 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
205 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
206 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
207 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
208 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
209 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
210 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
211 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
212 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
213 Paskevich).
214 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
215 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
216 - update libptytty.
217 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
218 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
219 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
220 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
221 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
222 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
223 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
224 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
225 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
226
2278.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
228 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
229 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
230 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
231 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
232 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
233 Reported by Takano Akio.
234 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
235 reported by exg.
236 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
237 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
238 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
239 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
240
2418.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
242 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
243 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
244 circumstances (reported by exg).
245 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
246 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
247 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
248 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
249 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
250 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
251 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
252 - update to libptytty-1.0.
253 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
254 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
255 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
256 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
257 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
258 bug #143985).
259 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
260 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
261 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
262 - manpage fix by exg.
263
2647.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
265 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
266 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
267 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
268 it does! :->
269 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
270 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
271
2727.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
273 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
274 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
275 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
276 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
277 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
278 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
279 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
280 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
281 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
282 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
283 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
284 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
285 uppercase character.
286 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
287 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
288 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
289 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
290 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
291 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
292 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
293 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
294 generic osc_seq.
295 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
296 were invoked recursively.
297 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
298 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
299 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
300 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
301 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
302 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
303 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
304 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
305 by omatunto_.
306 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
307 follow C++ closely enough.
308 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
309 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
310 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
311 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
312
3137.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
314 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
315 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
316 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
317 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
318 click, and eats the click.
319 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
320 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
321 refresh bugs please.
322 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
323 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
324 improve size hint setting.
325 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
326 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
327 to correctly position their preedit window.
328 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
329 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
330 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
331 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
332 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
333 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
334 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
335 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
336 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
337 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
338 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
339 (reported by Paco-Paco).
340 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
341 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
342 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
343
3447.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
345 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
346 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
347 resource value.
348 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
349 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
350 relevant tab window.
351 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
352 (initial patch by hednod).
353 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
354 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
355 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
356 the benefit of automove-background.
357 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
358 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
359 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
360 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
361 __linux__.
362 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
363 the colour components.
364 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
365 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
366 - more colour rtt optimisations.
367 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
368 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
369 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
370 - minor libptytty update.
371
3727.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
373 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
374 detection:
375 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
376 - overlap detection was improved.
377 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
378 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
379 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
380 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
381 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
382 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
383 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
384 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
385 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
386 broken.
387 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
388 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
389 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
390 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
391 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
392 (patch by Paco-Paco).
393 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
394 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
395 an "[alpha]" prefix.
396 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
397 transparent. Long Live Xft!
398 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
399 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
400 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
401 on a pseudocolor screen.
402 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
403 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
404 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
405 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
406 - small configure updates.
407 - further RTT optimisations.
408 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
409 the debian package.
410 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
411 but much newer than the old one.
412
4137.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
414 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
415 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
416 - small configure updates for libptytty.
417 - fixed version options: line output.
418 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
419
4207.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
421 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
422 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
423 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
424 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
425 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
426 selection extension.
427 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
428 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
429 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
430 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
431 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
432 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
433 needs the careful rendering mode.
434 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
435 too wide and needs careful mode.
436 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
437 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
438 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
439 atoms only once per display.
440 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
441 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
442 xterm.
443
4447.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
445 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
446 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
447 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
448 ctrl-shift-672c).
449 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
450 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
451 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
452 the primary screen.
453 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
454 could lead to an assertion failure.
455 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
456 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
457 via mouse clicks.
458 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
459 with shift - mouse button 2.
460 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
461 in non-synthetic events.
462 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
463 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
464 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
465 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
466 whole urxvt[d] process.
467 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
468 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
469 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
470 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
471
4727.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
473 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
474 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
475 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
476 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
477 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
478 special privileges.
479 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
480 itself.
481 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
482 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
483 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
484 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
485 similar stuff.
486 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
487 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
488 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
489 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
490 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
491 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
492 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
493 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
494 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
495 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
496 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
497 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
498 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
499 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
500 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
501 to set the window title.
502 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
503 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
504 at the wrong time.
505 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
506 anymore.
507 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
508 - nuked QNX support.
509 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
510 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
511 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
512 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
513
5147.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
515 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
516 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
517 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
518 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
519 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
520 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
521 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
522 and much much more.
523 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
524 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
525 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
526 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
527 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
528 setuid/setgid.
529 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
530 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
531 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
532 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
533 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
534 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
535 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
536 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
537 compatible, and not really small either.
538 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
539 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
540 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
541 to crashes.
542 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
543 colours.
544 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
545 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
546
5476.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
548 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
549 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
550 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
551 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
552 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
553 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
554 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
555 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
556 by Mikachu).
557 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
558 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
559 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
560 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
561 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
562 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
563 - fix directory permissions on install.
564 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
565 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
566 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
567 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
568 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
569
5706.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
571 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
572 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
573 Chuck Blake.
574 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
575 obscure the mouse cursor position.
576 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
577 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
578 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
579 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
580 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
581 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
582 transfer efficiency.
583 - further minor cleanups.
584
5856.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
586 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
587 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
588 while the user still drags.
589 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
590 not drawn correctly.
591 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
592 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
593 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
594 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
595 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
596 stripping whitespace.
597 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
598 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
599
6006.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
601 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
602 - enable slow link support by default.
603 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
604 (also a bug in original rxvt).
605 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
606 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
607 partial patch).
608 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
609 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
610 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
611 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
612 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
613 - implement -hold option.
614 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
615 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
616 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
617 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
618 - slight overall speed improvements.
619 - considerably improved code clarity.
620 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
621 buffer.
622
6235.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
624 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
625 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
626 (matters only for rxvtd).
627 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
628 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
629 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
630
6315.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
632 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
633 If you want the old behaviour, try:
634 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
635 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
636 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
637 percentage by 100-percentage.
638 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
639 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
640 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
641 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
642 windows.
643 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
644 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
645 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
646 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
647 - replaced INSTALL file.
648
6495.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
650 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
651 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
652 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
653 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
654 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
655 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
656 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
657 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
658
6595.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
660 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
661 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
662 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
663 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
664 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
665 Affects display in iso14755 box.
666 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
667 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
668 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
669 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
670 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
671 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
672 cutting pieces off of characters.
673 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
674 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
675 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
676 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
677 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
678 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
679 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
680
6815.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
682 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
683 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
684 meaning of the given key.
685 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
686 (patch by Martin Edlman).
687
6885.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
689 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
690 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
691 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
692 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
693 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
694 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
695 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
696 to disable it.
697
6985.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
699 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
700 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
701 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
702 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
703 with modifiers.
704 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
705 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
706 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
707 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
708 and clear the scrollback buffer.
709
7105.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
711 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
712 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
713 a command.
714 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
715 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
716 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
717 in Perl/Gtk2.
718 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
719 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
720 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
721 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
722 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
723 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
724 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
725 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
726 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
727 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
728 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
729 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
730 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
731 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
732 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
733 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
734 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
735 rxvt-unicode).
736 - get rid of the intpro files.
737
7385.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
739 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
740 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
741 (Kuang-che Wu).
742 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
743 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
744 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
745 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
746 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
747 along with other, similar, cleanups.
748 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
749 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
750 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
751 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
752 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
753 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
754
7555.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
756 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
757 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
758 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
759 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
760 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
761 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
762 his patience and time in tracking this down).
763 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
764 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
765 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
766 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
767 by Joël Riou).
768 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
769 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
770 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
771 - shaved off some code segment size.
772 - various code cleanups.
773 - more keysym-mapping fixes.

164.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005 7754.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
