11
12TODO: document transient_for, vt
13
14 - perl: implement additional hook: line_update, add_lines.
15 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
16 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
17 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support.
18
196.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
20 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
21 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
22 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
23 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
24 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
25 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
26 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
27 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
28 by Mikachu).
29 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
30 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
31 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
32 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
33 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
34 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
35 - fix directory permissions on install.
36 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
37 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
38 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
39 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
40 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
41
426.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
43 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
44 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
45 Chuck Blake.
46 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
47 obscure the mouse cursor position.
48 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
49 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
50 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
51 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
52 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
53 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
54 transfer efficiency.
55 - further minor cleanups.
56
576.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
58 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
59 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
60 while the user still drags.
61 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
62 not drawn correctly.
63 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
64 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
65 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
66 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
67 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
68 stripping whitespace.
69 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
70 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
71
726.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
73 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
74 - enable slow link support by default.
75 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
76 (also a bug in original rxvt).
77 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
78 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
79 partial patch).
80 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
81 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
82 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
83 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
84 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
85 - implement -hold option.
86 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
87 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
88 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
89 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
90 - slight overall speed improvements.
91 - considerably improved code clarity.
92 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
93 buffer.
94
955.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
96 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
97 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
98 (matters only for rxvtd).
99 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
100 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
101 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
102
1035.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
104 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
105 If you want the old behaviour, try:
106 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
107 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
108 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
109 percentage by 100-percentage.
110 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
111 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
112 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
113 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
114 windows.
115 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
116 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
117 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
118 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
119 - replaced INSTALL file.
120
1215.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
122 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
123 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
124 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
125 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
126 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
127 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
128 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
129 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
130
1315.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
132 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
133 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
134 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
135 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
136 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
137 Affects display in iso14755 box.
138 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
139 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
140 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
141 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
142 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
143 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
144 cutting pieces off of characters.
145 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
146 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
147 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
148 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
149 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
150 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
151 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
152
1535.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
154 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
155 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
156 meaning of the given key.
157 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
158 (patch by Martin Edlman).
159
1605.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
161 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
162 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
163 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
164 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
165 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
166 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
167 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
168 to disable it.
169
1705.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
171 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
172 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
173 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
174 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
175 with modifiers.
176 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
177 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
178 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
179 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
180 and clear the scrollback buffer.
