145.1 126.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
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. Affected are only
17 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
18 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
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 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
27 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
28 - fix directory permissions on install.
29 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
30 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
31 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
32 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
33 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
34
356.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
36 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
37 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
38 Chuck Blake.
39 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
40 obscure the mouse cursor position.
41 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
42 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
43 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
44 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
45 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
46 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
47 transfer efficiency.
48 - further minor cleanups.
49
506.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
51 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
52 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
53 while the user still drags.
54 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
55 not drawn correctly.
56 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
57 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
58 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
59 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
60 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
61 stripping whitespace.
62 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
63 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
64
656.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
66 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
67 - enable slow link support by default.
68 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
69 (also a bug in original rxvt).
70 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
71 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
72 partial patch).
73 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
74 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
75 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
76 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
77 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
78 - implement -hold option.
79 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
80 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
81 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
82 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
83 - slight overall speed improvements.
84 - considerably improved code clarity.
85 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
86 buffer.
87
885.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
89 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
90 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
91 (matters only for rxvtd).
92 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
93 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
94 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
95
965.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
97 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
98 If you want the old behaviour, try:
99 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
100 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
101 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
102 percentage by 100-percentage.
103 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
104 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
105 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
106 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
107 windows.
108 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
109 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
110 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
111 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
112 - replaced INSTALL file.
113
1145.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
115 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
116 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
117 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
118 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
119 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
120 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
121 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
122 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
123
1245.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
125 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
126 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
127 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
128 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
129 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
130 Affects display in iso14755 box.
131 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
132 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
133 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
134 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
135 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
136 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
137 cutting pieces off of characters.
138 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
139 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
140 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
141 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
142 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
143 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
144 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
145
1465.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
147 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
148 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
149 meaning of the given key.
150 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
151 (patch by Martin Edlman).
152
1535.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
154 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
155 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
156 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
157 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
158 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
159 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
160 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
161 to disable it.
162
1635.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
164 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
165 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
166 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
167 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
168 with modifiers.
169 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
170 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
171 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
172 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
173 and clear the scrollback buffer.
174
1755.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
176 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
177 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
178 a command.
179 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
180 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
181 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
182 in Perl/Gtk2.
183 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
184 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
185 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
186 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
187 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
188 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
189 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
190 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
191 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
192 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
193 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
194 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
195 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
196 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
197 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
198 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
199 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
200 rxvt-unicode).
201 - get rid of the intpro files.
