155.2 12SECURITY FIX: systems using openpty (most BSDs) had wrong permissions
13on the tty. Systems using unix pty's (such as GNU/Linux) were not
14affected. Apart from this, the meta8 option is no longer forcefully
15enabled. New features: urxvt now supports embedded perl, which can already
16do useful things and will certainly be extended in the future.
17
186.3
19 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
20 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
21 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
22 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only systems
23 using non-unix ptys (such as most BSDs, not GNU/Linux).
24 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
25 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
26 by Mikachu).
27 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
28 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
29 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
30 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
31 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
32 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
33 - fix directory permissions on install.
34TODO - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
35 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
36 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
37 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
38 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
39
406.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
41 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
42 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
43 Chuck Blake.
44 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
45 obscure the mouse cursor position.
46 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
47 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
48 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
49 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
50 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
51 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
52 transfer efficiency.
53 - further minor cleanups.
54
556.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
56 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
57 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
58 while the user still drags.
59 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
60 not drawn correctly.
61 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
62 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
63 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
64 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
65 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
66 stripping whitespace.
67 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
68 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
69
706.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
71 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
72 - enable slow link support by default.
73 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
74 (also a bug in original rxvt).
75 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
76 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
77 partial patch).
78 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
79 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
80 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
81 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
82 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
83 - implement -hold option.
84 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
85 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
86 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
87 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
88 - slight overall speed improvements.
89 - considerably improved code clarity.
90 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
91 buffer.
92
935.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
94 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
95 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
96 (matters only for rxvtd).
97 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
98 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
99 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
100
1015.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
102 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
103 If you want the old behaviour, try:
104 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
105 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
106 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
107 percentage by 100-percentage.
108 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
109 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
110 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
111 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
112 windows.
113 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
114 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
115 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
116 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
117 - replaced INSTALL file.
118
1195.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
120 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
121 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
122 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
123 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
124 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
125 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
126 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
127 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
128
1295.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
130 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
131 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
132 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
133 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
134 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
135 Affects display in iso14755 box.
136 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
137 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
138 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
139 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
140 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
141 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
142 cutting pieces off of characters.
143 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
144 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
145 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
146 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
147 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
148 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
149 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
150
1515.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
152 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
153 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
154 meaning of the given key.
155 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
156 (patch by Martin Edlman).
157
1585.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
159 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
160 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
161 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
162 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
163 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
164 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
165 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
166 to disable it.
167
1685.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
169 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
170 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
171 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
172 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
173 with modifiers.
174 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
175 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
176 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
177 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
178 and clear the scrollback buffer.

185 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
186 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
187 in Perl/Gtk2.
188 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
189 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
