28TODO: implement smartcase-like search in searchable-scrollback
29TODO: check wether -depth works as resource
30TODO: digital clock gets nuked after searching
31TODO: read .Xdefaults even when we have display resources, but give them lower priority
32 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
33 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
34 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
35 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
36 generic osc_seq.
37 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
38 were invoked recursively.
39 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
40 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
41 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
42 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
43 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
44 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
45 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
46 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
47 by omatunto_.
48 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
49 follow C++ closely enough.
50 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
51 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and Xft
52 (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
53
547.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
55 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
56 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
57 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
58 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
59 click, and eats the click.
60 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
61 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
62 refresh bugs please.
63 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
64 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
65 improve size hint setting.
66 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
67 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
68 to correctly position their preedit window.
69 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
70 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
71 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
72 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
73 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
74 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
75 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
76 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
77 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
78 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
79 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
80 (reported by Paco-Paco).
81 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
82 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
83 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
84
857.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
86 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
87 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
88 resource value.
89 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
90 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
91 relevant tab window.
92 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
93 (initial patch by hednod).
94 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
95 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
96 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
97 the benefit of automove-background.
98 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
99 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
100 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
101 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
102 __linux__.
103 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
104 the colour components.
105 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
106 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
107 - more colour rtt optimisations.
108 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
109 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
110 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
111 - minor libptytty update.
112
1137.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
114 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
115 detection:
116 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
117 - overlap detection was improved.
118 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
119 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
120 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
121 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
122 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
123 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
124 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
125 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
126 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
127 broken.
128 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
129 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
130 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
131 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
132 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
133 (patch by Paco-Paco).
134 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
135 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
136 an "[alpha]" prefix.
137 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
138 transparent. Long Live Xft!
139 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
140 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
141 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
142 on a pseudocolor screen.
143 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
144 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
145 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
146 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
147 - small configure updates.
148 - further RTT optimisations.
149
1507.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
151 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
152 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
153 - small configure updates for libptytty.
154 - fixed version options: line output.
155 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
156
1577.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
158 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
159 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
160 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
161 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
162 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
163 selection extension.
164 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
165 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
166 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
167 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
168 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
169 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
170 needs the careful rendering mode.
171 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
172 too wide and needs careful mode.
173 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
174 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
175 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
176 atoms only once per display.
177 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
178 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
179 xterm.
180
1817.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
182 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
183 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
184 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
185 ctrl-shift-672c).
186 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
187 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
188 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
189 the primary screen.
190 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
191 could lead to an assertion failure.
192 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
193 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
194 via mouse clicks.
195 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
196 with shift - mouse button 2.
197 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
198 in non-synthetic events.
199 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
200 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
201 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
202 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
203 whole urxvt[d] process.
204 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
205 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
206 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
207 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
208
2097.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
210 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
211 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
212 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
213 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
214 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
215 special privileges.
216 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
217 itself.
218 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
219 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
220 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
221 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
222 similar stuff.
223 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
224 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
225 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
226 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
227 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
228 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
229 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
230 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
231 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
232 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
233 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
234 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
235 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
236 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
237 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
238 to set the window title.
239 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
240 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
241 at the wrong time.
242 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
243 anymore.
244 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
245 - nuked QNX support.
246 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
247 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
248 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
249 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
250
2517.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
252 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
253 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
254 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
255 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
256 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
257 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
258 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
259 and much much more.
260 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
261 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
262 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
263 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
264 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
265 setuid/setgid.
266 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
267 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
268 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
269 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
270 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
271 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
272 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
273 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
274 compatible, and not really small either.
275 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
276 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
277 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
278 to crashes.
279 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
280 colours.
281 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
282 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
283
2846.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
285 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
286 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
287 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
288 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
289 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
290 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
291 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
292 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
293 by Mikachu).
294 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
295 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
296 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
297 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
298 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
299 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
300 - fix directory permissions on install.
301 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
302 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
303 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
304 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
305 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
306
3076.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
308 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
309 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
310 Chuck Blake.
311 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
312 obscure the mouse cursor position.
313 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
314 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
315 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
316 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
317 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
318 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
319 transfer efficiency.
320 - further minor cleanups.
321
3226.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
323 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
324 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
325 while the user still drags.
326 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
327 not drawn correctly.
328 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
329 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
330 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
331 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
332 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
333 stripping whitespace.
334 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
335 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
336
3376.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
338 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
339 - enable slow link support by default.
340 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
341 (also a bug in original rxvt).
342 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
343 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
344 partial patch).
345 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
346 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
347 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
348 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
349 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
350 - implement -hold option.
351 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
352 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
353 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
354 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
355 - slight overall speed improvements.
356 - considerably improved code clarity.
357 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
358 buffer.
359
3605.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
361 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
362 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
363 (matters only for rxvtd).
364 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
365 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
366 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
367
3685.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
369 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
370 If you want the old behaviour, try:
371 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
372 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
373 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
374 percentage by 100-percentage.
375 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
376 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
377 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
378 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
379 windows.
380 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
381 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
382 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
383 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
384 - replaced INSTALL file.
385
3865.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
387 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
388 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
389 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
390 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
391 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
392 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
393 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
394 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
395
3965.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
397 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
398 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
399 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
400 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
401 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
402 Affects display in iso14755 box.
403 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
404 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
405 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
406 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
407 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
408 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
409 cutting pieces off of characters.
410 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
411 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
412 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
413 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
414 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
415 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
416 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
417
4185.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
419 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
420 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
421 meaning of the given key.
422 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
423 (patch by Martin Edlman).
424
4255.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
426 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
427 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
428 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
429 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
430 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
431 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
432 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
433 to disable it.
13 434
145.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005 4355.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
15 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long 436 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
16 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by 437 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
17 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team). 438 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
