408.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
41 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
42 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
43 circumstances (reported by exg).
44 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
45 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
46 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
47 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
48 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
49 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
50 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
51 - update to libptytty-1.0.
52 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
53 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
54 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
55 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
56 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
57 bug #143985).
58 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
59 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
60 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
61 - manpage fix by exg.
62
637.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
64 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
65 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
66 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
67 it does! :->
68 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
69 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
70
717.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
72 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
73 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
74 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
75 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
76 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
77 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
78 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
79 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
80 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
81 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
82 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
83 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
84 uppercase character.
85 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
86 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
87 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
88 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
89 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
90 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
91 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
92 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
93 generic osc_seq.
94 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
95 were invoked recursively.
96 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
97 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
98 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
99 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
100 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
101 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
102 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
103 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
104 by omatunto_.
105 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
106 follow C++ closely enough.
107 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
108 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
109 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
110 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
111
1127.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
113 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
114 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
115 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
116 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
117 click, and eats the click.
118 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
119 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
120 refresh bugs please.
121 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
122 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
123 improve size hint setting.
124 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
125 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
126 to correctly position their preedit window.
127 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
128 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
129 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
130 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
131 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
132 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
133 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
134 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
135 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
136 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
137 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
138 (reported by Paco-Paco).
139 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
140 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
141 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
142
1437.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
144 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
145 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
146 resource value.
147 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
148 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
149 relevant tab window.
150 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
151 (initial patch by hednod).
152 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
153 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
154 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
155 the benefit of automove-background.
156 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
157 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
158 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
159 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
160 __linux__.
161 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
162 the colour components.
163 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
164 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
165 - more colour rtt optimisations.
166 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
167 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
168 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
169 - minor libptytty update.
170
1717.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
172 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
173 detection:
174 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
175 - overlap detection was improved.
176 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
177 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
178 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
179 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
180 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
181 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
182 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
183 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
184 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
185 broken.
186 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
187 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
188 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
189 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
190 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
191 (patch by Paco-Paco).
192 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
193 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
194 an "[alpha]" prefix.
195 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
196 transparent. Long Live Xft!
197 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
198 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
199 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
200 on a pseudocolor screen.
201 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
202 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
203 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
204 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
205 - small configure updates.
206 - further RTT optimisations.
207 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
208 the debian package.
209 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
210 but much newer than the old one.
211
2127.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
213 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
214 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
215 - small configure updates for libptytty.
216 - fixed version options: line output.
217 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
218
2197.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
220 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
221 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
222 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
223 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
224 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
225 selection extension.
226 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
227 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
228 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
229 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
230 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
231 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
232 needs the careful rendering mode.
233 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
234 too wide and needs careful mode.
235 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
236 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
237 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
238 atoms only once per display.
239 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
240 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
241 xterm.
242
2437.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
244 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
245 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
246 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
247 ctrl-shift-672c).
248 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
249 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
250 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
251 the primary screen.
252 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
253 could lead to an assertion failure.
254 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
255 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
256 via mouse clicks.
257 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
258 with shift - mouse button 2.
259 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
260 in non-synthetic events.
261 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
262 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
263 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
264 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
265 whole urxvt[d] process.
266 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
267 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
268 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
269 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
270
2717.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
272 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
273 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
274 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
275 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
276 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
277 special privileges.
278 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
279 itself.
280 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
281 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
282 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
283 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
284 similar stuff.
285 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
286 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
287 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
288 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
289 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
290 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
291 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
292 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
293 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
294 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
295 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
296 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
297 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
298 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
299 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
300 to set the window title.
301 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
302 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
303 at the wrong time.
304 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
305 anymore.
306 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
307 - nuked QNX support.
308 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
309 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
310 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
311 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
312
3137.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
314 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
315 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
316 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
317 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
318 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
319 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
320 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
321 and much much more.
322 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
323 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
324 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
325 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
326 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
327 setuid/setgid.
328 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
329 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
330 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
331 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
332 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
333 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
334 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
335 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
336 compatible, and not really small either.
337 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
338 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
339 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
340 to crashes.
341 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
342 colours.
343 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
344 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
345
3466.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
347 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
348 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
349 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
350 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
351 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
352 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
353 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
354 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
355 by Mikachu).
356 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
357 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
358 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
359 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
360 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
361 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
362 - fix directory permissions on install.
363 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
364 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
365 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
366 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
367 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
368
3696.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
370 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
371 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
372 Chuck Blake.
373 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
374 obscure the mouse cursor position.
375 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
376 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
377 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
378 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
379 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
380 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
381 transfer efficiency.
382 - further minor cleanups.
383
3846.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
385 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
386 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
387 while the user still drags.
388 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
389 not drawn correctly.
390 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
391 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
392 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
393 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
394 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
395 stripping whitespace.
396 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
397 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
398
3996.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
400 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
401 - enable slow link support by default.
402 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
403 (also a bug in original rxvt).
404 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
405 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
406 partial patch).
407 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
408 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
409 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
410 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
411 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
412 - implement -hold option.
413 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
414 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
415 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
416 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
417 - slight overall speed improvements.
418 - considerably improved code clarity.
419 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
420 buffer.
421
4225.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
423 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
424 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
425 (matters only for rxvtd).
426 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
427 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
428 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
429
4305.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
431 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
432 If you want the old behaviour, try:
433 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
434 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
435 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
436 percentage by 100-percentage.
437 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
438 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
439 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
440 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
441 windows.
442 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
443 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
444 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
445 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
446 - replaced INSTALL file.
447
4485.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
449 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
450 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
451 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
452 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
453 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
454 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
455 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
456 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
457
4585.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
459 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
460 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
461 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
462 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
463 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
464 Affects display in iso14755 box.
465 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
466 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
467 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
468 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
469 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
470 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
471 cutting pieces off of characters.
472 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
473 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
474 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
475 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
476 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
477 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
478 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
479
4805.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
481 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
482 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
483 meaning of the given key.
484 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
485 (patch by Martin Edlman).
486
4875.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
488 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
489 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
490 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
491 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
492 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
493 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
494 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
495 to disable it.
496
4975.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
498 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
499 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
500 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
501 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
502 with modifiers.
503 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
504 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
505 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
506 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
507 and clear the scrollback buffer.
508

513 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
514 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
515 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
516 in Perl/Gtk2.
517 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
518 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
