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.

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

155.2 209.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
21 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
22 - fix build with !xft.
23 - always compile in plain style scrollbar.
24
259.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
26 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
27 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
28 received" problem, again :)
29 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
30
319.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
32 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
33 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
34 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
35 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
36 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
37 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
38 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
39 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
40 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
41 channels or background images are used.
42 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
43 till the first event arrives. or so.
44 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
45 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
46 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
47 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
48 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
49 resets the terminal.
50 - scrollbar code cleanups.
51 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
52 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
53 - updated to libev 3.0.
54
558.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
56 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
57 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
58 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
59 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
60 would not clear it visually in another.
61 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
62 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
63 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
64 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
65 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
66 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
67
688.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
69 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
70 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
71 effects.
72 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
73 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
74 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
75 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
76 text was visible.
77 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
78 some minor improvements.
79 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
80 display and not once per terminal window.
81 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
82
838.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
84 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
85 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
86 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
87
888.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
89 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
90 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
91 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
92 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
93 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
94 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
95 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
96
978.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
98 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
99
1008.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
101 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
102 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
103 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
104 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
105 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
106 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
107 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
108 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
109 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
110 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
111 - parallel builds should work once more.
112
1138.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
114 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
115 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
116 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
117 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
118 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
119 missing DISPLAY.
120 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
121 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
122 - updated io_manager.
123
1248.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
125 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
126 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
127 /usr/X11R6/lib.
128 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
129 patch by Sasha Vasko.
130 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
131 (patch by Philip Paeps).
132 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
133 (patch by Mikachu).
134 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
135 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
136 digit (exg).
137 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
138 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
139 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
140 extension (tpope).
141 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
142 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
143 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
144 problems.
145
1468.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
147 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
148 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
149 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
150 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
151 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
152 (found by Aiviru).
153 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
154 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
155 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
156 case to work around for :/
157 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
158 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
159 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
160 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
161 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
162 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
163 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
164 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
165 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
166 Paskevich).
167 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
168 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
169 - update libptytty.
170 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
171 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
172 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
173 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
174 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
175 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
176 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
177 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
178 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
179
1808.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
181 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
182 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
183 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
184 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
185 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
186 Reported by Takano Akio.
187 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
188 reported by exg.
189 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
190 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
191 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
192 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
193
1948.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
195 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
196 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
197 circumstances (reported by exg).
198 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
199 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
200 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
201 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
202 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
203 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
204 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
205 - update to libptytty-1.0.
206 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
207 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
208 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
209 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
210 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
211 bug #143985).
212 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
213 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
214 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
215 - manpage fix by exg.
216
2177.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
218 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
219 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
220 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
221 it does! :->
222 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
223 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
224
2257.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
226 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
227 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
228 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
229 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
230 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
231 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
232 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
233 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
234 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
235 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
236 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
237 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
238 uppercase character.
239 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
240 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
241 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
242 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
243 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
244 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
245 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
246 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
247 generic osc_seq.
248 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
249 were invoked recursively.
250 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
251 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
252 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
253 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
254 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
255 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
256 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
257 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
258 by omatunto_.
259 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
260 follow C++ closely enough.
261 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
262 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
263 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
264 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
265
2667.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
267 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
268 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
269 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
270 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
271 click, and eats the click.
272 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
273 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
274 refresh bugs please.
275 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
276 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
277 improve size hint setting.
278 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
279 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
280 to correctly position their preedit window.
281 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
282 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
283 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
284 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
285 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
286 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
287 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
288 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
289 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
290 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
291 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
292 (reported by Paco-Paco).
293 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
294 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
295 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
296
2977.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
298 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
299 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
300 resource value.
301 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
302 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
303 relevant tab window.
304 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
305 (initial patch by hednod).
306 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
307 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
308 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
309 the benefit of automove-background.
310 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
311 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
312 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
313 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
314 __linux__.
315 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
316 the colour components.
317 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
318 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
319 - more colour rtt optimisations.
320 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
321 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
322 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
323 - minor libptytty update.
324
3257.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
326 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
327 detection:
328 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
329 - overlap detection was improved.
330 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
331 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
332 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
333 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
334 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
335 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
336 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
337 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
338 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
339 broken.
340 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
341 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
342 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
343 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
344 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
345 (patch by Paco-Paco).
346 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
347 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
348 an "[alpha]" prefix.
349 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
350 transparent. Long Live Xft!
351 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
352 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
353 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
354 on a pseudocolor screen.
355 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
356 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
357 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
358 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
359 - small configure updates.
360 - further RTT optimisations.
361 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
362 the debian package.
363 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
364 but much newer than the old one.
365
3667.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
367 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
368 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
369 - small configure updates for libptytty.
370 - fixed version options: line output.
371 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
372
3737.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
374 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
375 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
376 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
377 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
378 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
379 selection extension.
380 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
381 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
382 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
383 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
384 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
385 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
386 needs the careful rendering mode.
387 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
388 too wide and needs careful mode.
389 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
390 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
391 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
392 atoms only once per display.
393 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
394 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
395 xterm.
396
3977.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
398 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
399 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
400 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
401 ctrl-shift-672c).
402 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
403 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
404 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
405 the primary screen.
406 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
407 could lead to an assertion failure.
408 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
409 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
410 via mouse clicks.
411 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
412 with shift - mouse button 2.
413 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
414 in non-synthetic events.
415 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
416 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
417 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
418 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
419 whole urxvt[d] process.
420 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
421 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
422 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
423 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
424
4257.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
426 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
427 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
428 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
429 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
430 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
431 special privileges.
432 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
433 itself.
434 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
435 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
436 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
437 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
438 similar stuff.
439 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
440 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
441 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
442 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
443 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
444 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
445 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
446 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
447 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
448 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
449 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
450 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
451 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
452 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
453 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
454 to set the window title.
455 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
456 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
457 at the wrong time.
458 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
459 anymore.
460 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
461 - nuked QNX support.
462 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
463 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
464 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
465 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
466
4677.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
468 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
469 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
470 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
471 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
472 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
473 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
474 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
475 and much much more.
476 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
477 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
478 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
479 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
480 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
481 setuid/setgid.
482 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
483 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
484 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
485 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
486 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
487 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
488 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
489 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
490 compatible, and not really small either.
491 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
492 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
493 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
494 to crashes.
495 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
496 colours.
497 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
498 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
499
5006.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
501 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
502 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
503 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
504 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
505 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
506 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
507 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
508 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
509 by Mikachu).
510 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
511 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
512 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
513 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
514 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
515 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
516 - fix directory permissions on install.
517 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
518 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
519 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
520 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
521 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
522
5236.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
524 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
525 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
526 Chuck Blake.
527 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
528 obscure the mouse cursor position.
529 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
530 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
531 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
532 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
533 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
534 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
535 transfer efficiency.
536 - further minor cleanups.
537
5386.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
539 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
540 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
541 while the user still drags.
542 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
543 not drawn correctly.
544 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
545 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
546 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
547 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
548 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
549 stripping whitespace.
550 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
551 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
552
5536.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
554 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
555 - enable slow link support by default.
556 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
557 (also a bug in original rxvt).
558 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
559 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
560 partial patch).
561 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
562 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
563 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
564 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
565 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
566 - implement -hold option.
567 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
568 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
569 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
570 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
571 - slight overall speed improvements.
572 - considerably improved code clarity.
573 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
574 buffer.
575
5765.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
577 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
578 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
579 (matters only for rxvtd).
580 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
581 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
582 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
583
5845.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
585 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
586 If you want the old behaviour, try:
587 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
588 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
589 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
590 percentage by 100-percentage.
591 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
592 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
593 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
594 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
595 windows.
596 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
597 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
598 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
599 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
600 - replaced INSTALL file.
601
6025.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
603 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
604 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
605 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
606 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
607 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
608 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
609 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
610 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
611
6125.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
613 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
614 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
615 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
616 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
617 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
618 Affects display in iso14755 box.
619 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
620 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
621 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
622 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
623 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
624 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
625 cutting pieces off of characters.
626 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
627 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
628 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
629 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
630 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
631 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
632 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
633
6345.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
635 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
636 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
637 meaning of the given key.
638 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
639 (patch by Martin Edlman).
640
6415.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
642 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
643 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
644 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
645 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
646 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
647 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
648 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
649 to disable it.
650
6515.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
652 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
653 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
654 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
655 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
656 with modifiers.
657 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
658 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
659 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
660 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
661 and clear the scrollback buffer.
662
