1TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: manpage 900mb update 2
3TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
4TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
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: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
8WISH: searchable backlog 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
10WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 15WISH: coloured pastebin
12WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 16WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 17WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
18WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
19DUMB: support tex fonts
14 20
155.2 21TODO: rxvt -font 10x20 -xrm "*.tabbed.font: 10x20" -pe tabbed
22 how does one affect the tab windows themselves? seems not to work anymore.
23
24TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource?
25 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
26 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
27 - work around fedore 9 prividing isastream but not the relevant
28 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
29 - upgrade to libev-3.31, fixing a bug in the select backend
30 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
31 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
32 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
33 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
34 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
35 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
36 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
37 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
38 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
39 - update Anyevent API to version 3.4 and above.
40 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
41
429.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
43 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
44 - fix build with !xft.
45 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
46
479.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
48 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
49 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
50 received" problem, again :)
51 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
52
539.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
54 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
55 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
56 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
57 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
58 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
59 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
60 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
61 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
62 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
63 channels or background images are used.
64 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
65 till the first event arrives. or so.
66 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
67 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
68 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
69 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
70 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
71 resets the terminal.
72 - scrollbar code cleanups.
73 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
74 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
75 - updated to libev 3.0.
76
778.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
78 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
79 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
80 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
81 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
82 would not clear it visually in another.
83 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
84 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
85 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
86 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
87 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
88 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
89
908.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
91 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
92 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
93 effects.
94 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
95 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
96 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
97 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
98 text was visible.
99 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
100 some minor improvements.
101 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
102 display and not once per terminal window.
103 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
104
1058.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
106 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
107 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
108 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
109
1108.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
111 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
112 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
113 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
114 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
115 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
116 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
117 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
118
1198.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
120 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
121
1228.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
123 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
124 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
125 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
126 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
127 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
128 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
129 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
130 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
131 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
132 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
133 - parallel builds should work once more.
134
1358.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
136 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
137 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
138 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
139 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
140 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
141 missing DISPLAY.
142 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
143 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
144 - updated io_manager.
145
1468.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
147 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
148 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
149 /usr/X11R6/lib.
150 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
151 patch by Sasha Vasko.
152 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
153 (patch by Philip Paeps).
154 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
155 (patch by Mikachu).
156 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
157 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
158 digit (exg).
159 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
160 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
161 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
162 extension (tpope).
163 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
164 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
165 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
166 problems.
167
1688.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
169 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
170 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
171 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
172 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
173 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
174 (found by Aiviru).
175 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
176 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
177 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
178 case to work around for :/
179 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
180 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
181 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
182 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
183 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
184 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
185 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
186 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
187 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
188 Paskevich).
189 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
190 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
191 - update libptytty.
192 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
193 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
194 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
195 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
196 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
197 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
198 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
199 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
200 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
201
2028.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
203 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
204 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
205 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
206 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
207 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
208 Reported by Takano Akio.
209 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
210 reported by exg.
211 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
212 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
213 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
214 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
215
2168.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
217 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
218 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
219 circumstances (reported by exg).
220 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
221 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
222 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
223 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
224 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
225 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
226 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
227 - update to libptytty-1.0.
228 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
229 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
230 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
231 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
232 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
233 bug #143985).
234 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
235 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
236 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
237 - manpage fix by exg.
238
2397.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
240 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
241 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
242 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
243 it does! :->
244 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
245 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
246
2477.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
248 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
249 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
250 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
251 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
252 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
253 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
254 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
255 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
256 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
257 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
258 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
259 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
260 uppercase character.
261 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
262 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
263 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
264 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
265 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
266 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
267 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
268 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
269 generic osc_seq.
270 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
271 were invoked recursively.
272 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
273 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
274 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
275 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
276 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
277 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
278 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
279 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
280 by omatunto_.
281 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
282 follow C++ closely enough.
283 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
284 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
285 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
286 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
287
2887.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
289 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
290 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
291 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
292 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
293 click, and eats the click.
294 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
295 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
296 refresh bugs please.
297 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
298 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
299 improve size hint setting.
300 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
301 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
302 to correctly position their preedit window.
303 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
304 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
305 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
306 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
307 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
308 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
309 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
310 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
311 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
312 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
313 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
314 (reported by Paco-Paco).
315 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
316 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
317 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
318
3197.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
320 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
321 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
322 resource value.
323 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
324 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
325 relevant tab window.
326 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
327 (initial patch by hednod).
328 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
329 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
330 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
331 the benefit of automove-background.
332 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
333 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
334 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
335 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
336 __linux__.
337 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
338 the colour components.
339 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
340 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
341 - more colour rtt optimisations.
342 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
343 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
344 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
345 - minor libptytty update.
346
3477.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
348 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
349 detection:
350 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
351 - overlap detection was improved.
352 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
353 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
354 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
355 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
356 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
357 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
358 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
359 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
360 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
361 broken.
362 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
363 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
364 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
365 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
366 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
367 (patch by Paco-Paco).
368 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
369 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
370 an "[alpha]" prefix.
371 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
372 transparent. Long Live Xft!
373 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
374 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
375 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
376 on a pseudocolor screen.
377 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
378 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
379 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
380 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
381 - small configure updates.
382 - further RTT optimisations.
383 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
384 the debian package.
385 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
386 but much newer than the old one.
387
3887.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
389 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
390 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
391 - small configure updates for libptytty.
392 - fixed version options: line output.
393 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
394
3957.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
396 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
397 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
398 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
399 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
400 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
401 selection extension.
402 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
403 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
404 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
405 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
406 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
407 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
408 needs the careful rendering mode.
409 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
410 too wide and needs careful mode.
411 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
412 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
413 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
414 atoms only once per display.
415 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
416 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
417 xterm.
418
4197.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
420 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
421 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
422 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
423 ctrl-shift-672c).
424 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
425 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
426 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
427 the primary screen.
428 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
429 could lead to an assertion failure.
430 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
431 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
432 via mouse clicks.
433 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
434 with shift - mouse button 2.
435 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
436 in non-synthetic events.
437 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
438 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
439 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
440 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
441 whole urxvt[d] process.
442 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
443 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
444 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
445 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
446
4477.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
448 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
449 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
450 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
451 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
452 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
453 special privileges.
454 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
455 itself.
456 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
457 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
458 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
459 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
460 similar stuff.
461 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
462 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
463 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
464 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
465 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
466 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
467 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
468 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
469 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
470 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
471 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
472 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
473 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
474 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
475 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
476 to set the window title.
477 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
478 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
479 at the wrong time.
480 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
481 anymore.
482 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
483 - nuked QNX support.
484 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
485 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
486 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
487 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
488
4897.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
490 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
491 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
492 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
493 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
494 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
495 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
496 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
497 and much much more.
498 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
499 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
500 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
501 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
502 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
503 setuid/setgid.
504 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
505 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
506 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
507 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
508 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
509 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
510 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
511 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
512 compatible, and not really small either.
513 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
514 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
515 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
516 to crashes.
517 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
518 colours.
519 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
520 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
521
5226.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
523 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
524 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
525 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
526 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
527 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
528 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
529 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
530 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
531 by Mikachu).
532 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
533 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
534 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
535 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
536 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
537 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
538 - fix directory permissions on install.
539 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
540 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
541 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
542 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
543 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
544
5456.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
546 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
547 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
548 Chuck Blake.
549 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
550 obscure the mouse cursor position.
551 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
552 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
553 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
554 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
555 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
556 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
557 transfer efficiency.
558 - further minor cleanups.
559
5606.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
561 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
562 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
563 while the user still drags.
564 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
565 not drawn correctly.
566 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
567 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
568 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
569 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
570 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
571 stripping whitespace.
572 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
573 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
574
5756.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
576 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
577 - enable slow link support by default.
578 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
579 (also a bug in original rxvt).
580 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
581 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
582 partial patch).
583 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
584 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
585 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
586 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
587 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
588 - implement -hold option.
589 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
590 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
591 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
592 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
593 - slight overall speed improvements.
594 - considerably improved code clarity.
595 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
596 buffer.
597
5985.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
599 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
600 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
601 (matters only for rxvtd).
602 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
603 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
604 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
605
6065.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
607 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
608 If you want the old behaviour, try:
609 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
610 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
611 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
612 percentage by 100-percentage.
613 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
614 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
615 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
616 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
617 windows.
618 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
619 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
620 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
621 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
622 - replaced INSTALL file.
623
6245.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
625 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
626 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
627 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
628 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
629 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
630 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
631 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
632 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
633
6345.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
635 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
636 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
637 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
638 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
639 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
640 Affects display in iso14755 box.
641 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
642 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
643 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
644 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
645 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
646 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
647 cutting pieces off of characters.
648 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
649 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
650 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
651 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
652 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
653 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
654 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
655
6565.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
657 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
658 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
659 meaning of the given key.
660 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
661 (patch by Martin Edlman).
662
6635.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
664 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
665 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
666 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
667 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
668 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
669 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
670 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
671 to disable it.
672
6735.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
674 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
675 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
676 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
677 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
678 with modifiers.
679 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
680 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
681 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
682 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
683 and clear the scrollback buffer.
684
6855.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
16 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave 686 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave

19 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus. 689 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
690 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
691 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
692 in Perl/Gtk2.
693 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
694 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
695 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
