5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 11TODO: default selection should handle = better
8WISH: searchable backlog 12WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 13WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
10WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 15DUMB: support tex fonts
12WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
14 16
155.2 17 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
18 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
19 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
20 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
21 click.
22 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
23 refresh bugs please.
24 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
25 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
26 improve size hint setting.
27 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
28 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
29 to correctly position their preedit window.
30 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
31 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
32 in empts spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
33 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
34 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
35 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
36 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
37 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
38 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
39 (reported by Paco-Paco).
40 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
41 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
42
437.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
44 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
45 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
46 resource value.
47 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
48 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
49 relevant tab window.
50 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
51 (initial patch by hednod).
52 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
53 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
54 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
55 the benefit of automove-background.
56 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
57 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
58 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
59 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
60 __linux__.
61 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
62 the colour components.
63 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
64 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
65 - more colour rtt optimisations.
66 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
67 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
68 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
69 - minor libptytty update.
70
717.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
72 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
73 detection:
74 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
75 - overlap detection was improved.
76 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
77 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
78 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
79 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
80 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
81 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
82 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
83 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
84 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
85 broken.
86 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
87 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
88 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
89 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
90 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
91 (patch by Paco-Paco).
92 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
93 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
94 an "[alpha]" prefix.
95 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
96 transparent. Long Live Xft!
97 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
98 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
99 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
100 on a pseudocolor screen.
101 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
102 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
103 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
104 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
105 - small configure updates.
106 - further RTT optimisations.
107
1087.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
109 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
110 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
111 - small configure updates for libptytty.
112 - fixed version options: line output.
113 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
114
1157.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
116 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
117 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
118 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
119 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
120 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
121 selection extension.
122 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
123 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
124 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
125 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
126 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
127 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
128 needs the careful rendering mode.
129 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
130 too wide and needs careful mode.
131 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
132 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
133 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
134 atoms only once per display.
135 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
136 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
137 xterm.
138
1397.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
140 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
141 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
142 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
143 ctrl-shift-672c).
144 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
145 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
146 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
147 the primary screen.
148 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
149 could lead to an assertion failure.
150 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
151 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
152 via mouse clicks.
153 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
154 with shift - mouse button 2.
155 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
156 in non-synthetic events.
157 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
158 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
159 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
160 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
161 whole urxvt[d] process.
162 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
163 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
164 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
165 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
166
1677.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
168 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
169 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
170 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
171 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
172 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
173 special privileges.
174 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
175 itself.
176 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
177 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
178 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
179 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
180 similar stuff.
181 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
182 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
183 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
184 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
185 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
186 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
187 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
188 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
189 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
190 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
191 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
192 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
193 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
194 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
195 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
196 to set the window title.
197 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
198 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
199 at the wrong time.
200 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
201 anymore.
202 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
203 - nuked QNX support.
204 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
205 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
206 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
207 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
208
2097.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
210 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
211 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
212 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
213 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
214 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
215 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
216 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
217 and much much more.
218 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
219 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
220 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
221 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
222 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
223 setuid/setgid.
224 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
225 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
226 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
227 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
228 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
229 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
231 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
232 compatible, and not really small either.
233 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
234 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
235 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
236 to crashes.
237 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
238 colours.
239 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
240 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
241
2426.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
243 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
244 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
245 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
246 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
247 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
248 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
249 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
250 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
251 by Mikachu).
252 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
253 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
254 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
255 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
256 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
257 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
258 - fix directory permissions on install.
259 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
260 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
261 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
262 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
263 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
264
2656.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
266 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
267 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
268 Chuck Blake.
269 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
270 obscure the mouse cursor position.
271 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
272 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
273 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
274 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
275 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
276 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
277 transfer efficiency.
278 - further minor cleanups.
279
2806.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
281 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
282 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
283 while the user still drags.
284 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
285 not drawn correctly.
286 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
287 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
288 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
289 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
290 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
291 stripping whitespace.
292 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
293 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
294
2956.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
296 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
297 - enable slow link support by default.
298 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
299 (also a bug in original rxvt).
300 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
301 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
302 partial patch).
303 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
304 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
305 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
306 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
307 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
308 - implement -hold option.
309 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
310 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
311 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
312 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
313 - slight overall speed improvements.
314 - considerably improved code clarity.
315 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
316 buffer.
317
3185.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
319 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
320 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
321 (matters only for rxvtd).
322 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
323 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
324 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
325
3265.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
327 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
328 If you want the old behaviour, try:
329 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
330 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
331 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
332 percentage by 100-percentage.
333 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
334 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
335 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
336 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
337 windows.
338 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
339 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
340 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
341 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
342 - replaced INSTALL file.
343
3445.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
345 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
346 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
347 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
348 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
349 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
350 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
351 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
352 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
353
3545.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
355 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
356 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
357 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
358 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
359 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
360 Affects display in iso14755 box.
361 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
362 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
363 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
364 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
365 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
366 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
367 cutting pieces off of characters.
368 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
369 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
370 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
371 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
372 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
373 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
374 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
375
3765.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
377 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
378 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
379 meaning of the given key.
380 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
381 (patch by Martin Edlman).
382
3835.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
384 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
385 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
386 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
387 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
388 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
389 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
390 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
391 to disable it.
392
3935.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
394 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
395 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
396 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
397 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
398 with modifiers.
399 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
400 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
401 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
402 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
403 and clear the scrollback buffer.
404
4055.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
16 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave 406 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
17 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting 407 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
18 a command. 408 a command.
19 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus. 409 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
410 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
411 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
412 in Perl/Gtk2.
413 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
414 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
415 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
