12TODO: urxvt::popup is undocumented
13 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
14 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
15 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
16 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
17 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
18 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
19 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
20 and much much more.
21 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
22 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
23 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
24 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
25 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
26 setuid/setgid.
27 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
28 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
29 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
30 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
31 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
32 - applied better configure support for openpty by Emanuele Giaquinta.
33
346.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
35 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
36 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
37 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
38 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
39 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
40 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
41 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
42 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
43 by Mikachu).
44 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
45 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
46 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
47 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
48 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
49 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
50 - fix directory permissions on install.
51 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
52 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
53 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
54 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
55 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
56
576.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
58 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
59 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
60 Chuck Blake.
61 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
62 obscure the mouse cursor position.
63 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
64 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
65 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
66 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
67 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
68 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
69 transfer efficiency.
70 - further minor cleanups.
71
726.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
73 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
74 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
75 while the user still drags.
76 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
77 not drawn correctly.
78 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
79 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
80 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
81 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
82 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
83 stripping whitespace.
84 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
85 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
86
876.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
88 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
89 - enable slow link support by default.
90 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
91 (also a bug in original rxvt).
92 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
93 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
94 partial patch).
95 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
96 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
97 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
98 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
99 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
100 - implement -hold option.
101 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
102 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
103 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
104 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
105 - slight overall speed improvements.
106 - considerably improved code clarity.
107 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
108 buffer.
109
1105.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
111 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
112 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
113 (matters only for rxvtd).
114 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
115 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
116 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
117
1185.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
119 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
120 If you want the old behaviour, try:
121 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
122 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
123 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
124 percentage by 100-percentage.
125 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
126 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
127 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
128 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
129 windows.
130 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
131 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
132 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
133 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
134 - replaced INSTALL file.
135
1365.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
137 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
138 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
139 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
140 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
141 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
142 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
143 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
144 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
145
1465.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
147 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
148 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
149 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
150 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
151 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
152 Affects display in iso14755 box.
153 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
154 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
155 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
156 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
157 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
158 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
159 cutting pieces off of characters.
160 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
161 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
162 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
163 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
164 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
165 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
166 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
167
1685.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
169 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
170 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
171 meaning of the given key.
172 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
173 (patch by Martin Edlman).
174
1755.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
176 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
177 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
178 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
179 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
180 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
181 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
182 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
183 to disable it.
184
1855.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
186 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
187 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
188 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
189 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
190 with modifiers.
191 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
192 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
193 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
194 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
195 and clear the scrollback buffer.
196
1975.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
198 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
199 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
200 a command.
201 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
202 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
203 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
204 in Perl/Gtk2.
205 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
206 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
207 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
208 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
209 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
210 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
211 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
212 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
213 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
214 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
215 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
216 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
217 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
218 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
219 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
220 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
221 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
222 rxvt-unicode).
223 - get rid of the intpro files.
