159.0
16 - implemented perl:selection:remote-pastebin command in perl/selection
17 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
18 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
19 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
20 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
21 at the wrong time.
22 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
23 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
24 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
25 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
26 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
27 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
28 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
29 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
30 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
31 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
33 anymore.
34 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
35 to set the window title.
36 - nuked QNX support.
37
387.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
39 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
40 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
41 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
42 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
43 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
44 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
45 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
46 and much much more.
47 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
48 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
49 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
50 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
51 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
52 setuid/setgid.
53 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
54 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
55 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
56 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
57 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
58 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
59 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
60 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
61 compatible, and not really small either.
62 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
63 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
64 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
65 to crashes.
66 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
67 colours.
68 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
69 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
70
716.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
72 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
73 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
74 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
75 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
76 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
77 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
78 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
79 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
80 by Mikachu).
81 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
82 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
83 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
84 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
85 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
86 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
87 - fix directory permissions on install.
88 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
89 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
90 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
91 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
92 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
93
946.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
95 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
96 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
97 Chuck Blake.
98 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
99 obscure the mouse cursor position.
100 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
101 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
102 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
103 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
104 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
105 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
106 transfer efficiency.
107 - further minor cleanups.
108
1096.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
110 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
111 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
112 while the user still drags.
113 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
114 not drawn correctly.
115 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
116 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
117 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
118 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
119 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
120 stripping whitespace.
121 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
122 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
123
1246.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
125 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
126 - enable slow link support by default.
127 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
128 (also a bug in original rxvt).
129 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
130 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
131 partial patch).
132 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
133 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
134 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
135 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
136 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
137 - implement -hold option.
138 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
139 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
140 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
141 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
142 - slight overall speed improvements.
143 - considerably improved code clarity.
144 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
145 buffer.
146
1475.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
148 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
149 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
150 (matters only for rxvtd).
151 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
152 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
153 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
154
1555.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
156 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
157 If you want the old behaviour, try:
158 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
159 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
160 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
161 percentage by 100-percentage.
162 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
163 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
164 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
165 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
166 windows.
167 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
168 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
169 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
170 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
171 - replaced INSTALL file.
172
1735.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
174 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
175 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
176 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
177 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
178 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
179 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
180 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
181 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
182
1835.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
184 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
185 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
186 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
187 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
188 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
189 Affects display in iso14755 box.
190 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
191 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
192 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
193 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
194 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
195 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
196 cutting pieces off of characters.
197 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
198 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
199 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
200 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
201 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
202 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
203 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
204
2055.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
206 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
207 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
208 meaning of the given key.
209 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
210 (patch by Martin Edlman).
211
2125.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
213 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
214 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
215 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
216 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
217 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
218 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
219 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
220 to disable it.
221
2225.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
223 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
224 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
225 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
226 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
227 with modifiers.
228 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
229 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
230 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
231 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
232 and clear the scrollback buffer.
233
2345.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
235 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
236 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
237 a command.
238 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
239 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
240 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
241 in Perl/Gtk2.
242 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
243 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
244 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
245 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
246 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
247 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
248 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
249 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
250 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
251 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
252 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
253 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
254 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
255 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
256 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
257 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
258 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
259 rxvt-unicode).
260 - get rid of the intpro files.
261
2625.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005

31 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes 264 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
32 (Kuang-che Wu). 265 (Kuang-che Wu).
266 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
267 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
268 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
269 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
270 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
271 along with other, similar, cleanups.
272 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
273 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
274 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
275 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
276 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
277 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
