135.1 13 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
14 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
15 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
16 too), and were not restored properly (same as xterm here).
17 Affected are only systems using non-unix ptys (such as most
18 BSDs, not GNU/Linux).
19 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
20 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
21 by Mikachu)
22 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
23 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
24 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
25 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
26 - fix directory permissions on install.
27 - improved sched_yield support.
28
296.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
30 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
31 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
32 Chuck Blake.
33 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
34 obscure the mouse cursor position.
35 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
36 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
37 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
38 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
39 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
40 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
41 transfer efficiency.
42 - further minor cleanups.
43
446.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
45 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
46 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
47 while the user still drags.
48 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
49 not drawn correctly.
50 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
51 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
52 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
53 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
54 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
55 stripping whitespace.
56 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
57 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
58
596.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
60 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
61 - enable slow link support by default.
62 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
63 (also a bug in original rxvt).
64 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
65 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
66 partial patch).
67 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
68 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
69 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
70 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
71 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
72 - implement -hold option.
73 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
74 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
75 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
76 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
77 - slight overall speed improvements.
78 - considerably improved code clarity.
79 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
80 buffer.
81
825.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
83 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
84 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
85 (matters only for rxvtd).
86 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
87 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
88 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
89
905.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
91 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
92 If you want the old behaviour, try:
93 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
94 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
95 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
96 percentage by 100-percentage.
97 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
98 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
99 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
100 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
101 windows.
102 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
103 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
104 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
105 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
106 - replaced INSTALL file.
107
1085.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
109 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
110 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
111 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
112 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
113 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
114 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
115 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
116 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
117
1185.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
119 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
120 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
121 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
122 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
123 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
124 Affects display in iso14755 box.
125 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
126 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
127 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
128 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
129 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
130 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
131 cutting pieces off of characters.
132 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
133 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
134 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
135 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
136 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
137 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
138 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
139
1405.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
141 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
142 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
143 meaning of the given key.
144 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
145 (patch by Martin Edlman).
146
1475.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
148 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
149 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
150 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
151 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
152 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
153 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
154 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
155 to disable it.
156
1575.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
158 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
159 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
160 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
161 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
162 with modifiers.
163 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
164 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
165 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
166 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
167 and clear the scrollback buffer.
168
1695.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
170 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
171 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
172 a command.
173 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
174 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
175 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
176 in Perl/Gtk2.
177 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
178 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
179 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
180 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
181 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
182 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
183 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
184 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
185 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
186 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
187 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
188 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
189 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
190 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
191 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
192 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
193 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
194 rxvt-unicode).
195 - get rid of the intpro files.
196

16 (Kuang-che Wu). 200 (Kuang-che Wu).
201 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
202 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
17 - only warn on X errors, *try* to continue (frills). 203 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
18 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow. 204 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
205 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
206 along with other, similar, cleanups.
207 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
208 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
209 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
210 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
211 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
212 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
