14 27
28 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
29 it does! :->
30 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
31 - hopefully fix the crashing bug people encounter with 7.8
32 (triggered by using transparency + perl).
33
347.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
35 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
36 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
37 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
38 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
39 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
40 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
41 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
42 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
43 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
44 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
45 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
46 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
47 uppercase character.
48 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
49 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
50 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
51 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
52 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
53 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
54 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
55 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
56 generic osc_seq.
57 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
58 were invoked recursively.
59 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
60 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
61 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
62 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
63 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
64 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
65 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
66 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
67 by omatunto_.
68 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
69 follow C++ closely enough.
70 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
71 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
72 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
73 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
74
757.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
76 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
77 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
78 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
79 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
80 click, and eats the click.
81 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
82 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
83 refresh bugs please.
84 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
85 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
86 improve size hint setting.
87 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
88 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
89 to correctly position their preedit window.
90 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
91 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
92 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
93 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
94 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
95 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
96 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
97 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
98 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
99 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
100 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
101 (reported by Paco-Paco).
102 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
103 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
104 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
105
1067.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
107 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
108 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
109 resource value.
110 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
111 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
112 relevant tab window.
113 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
114 (initial patch by hednod).
115 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
116 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
117 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
118 the benefit of automove-background.
119 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
120 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
121 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
122 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
123 __linux__.
124 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
125 the colour components.
126 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
127 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
128 - more colour rtt optimisations.
129 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
130 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
131 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
132 - minor libptytty update.
133
1347.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
135 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
136 detection:
137 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
138 - overlap detection was improved.
139 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
140 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
141 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
142 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
143 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
144 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
145 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
146 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
147 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
148 broken.
149 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
150 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
151 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
152 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
153 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
154 (patch by Paco-Paco).
155 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
156 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
157 an "[alpha]" prefix.
158 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
159 transparent. Long Live Xft!
160 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
161 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
162 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
163 on a pseudocolor screen.
164 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
165 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
166 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
167 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
168 - small configure updates.
169 - further RTT optimisations.
170 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
171 the debian package.
172 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
173 but much newer than the old one.
174
1757.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
176 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
177 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
178 - small configure updates for libptytty.
179 - fixed version options: line output.
180 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
181
1827.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
183 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
184 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
185 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
186 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
187 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
188 selection extension.
189 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
190 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
191 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
192 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
193 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
194 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
195 needs the careful rendering mode.
196 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
197 too wide and needs careful mode.
198 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
199 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
200 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
201 atoms only once per display.
202 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
203 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
204 xterm.
205
2067.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
207 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
208 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
209 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
210 ctrl-shift-672c).
211 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
212 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
213 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
214 the primary screen.
215 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
216 could lead to an assertion failure.
217 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
218 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
219 via mouse clicks.
220 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
221 with shift - mouse button 2.
222 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
223 in non-synthetic events.
224 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
225 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
226 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
227 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
228 whole urxvt[d] process.
229 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
230 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
231 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
232 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
233
2347.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
235 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
236 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
237 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
238 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
239 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
240 special privileges.
241 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
242 itself.
243 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
244 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
245 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
246 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
247 similar stuff.
248 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
249 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
250 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
251 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
252 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
253 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
254 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
255 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
256 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
257 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
258 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
259 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
260 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
261 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
263 to set the window title.
264 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
265 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
266 at the wrong time.
267 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
268 anymore.
269 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
270 - nuked QNX support.
271 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
272 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
273 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
274 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
275
2767.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
277 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
278 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
279 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
280 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
281 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
282 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
283 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
284 and much much more.
285 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
286 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
287 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
288 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
289 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
290 setuid/setgid.
291 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
292 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
293 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
294 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
295 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
296 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
297 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
298 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
299 compatible, and not really small either.
300 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
301 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
302 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
303 to crashes.
304 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
305 colours.
306 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
307 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
308
3096.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
310 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
311 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
312 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
313 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
314 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
315 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
316 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
317 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
318 by Mikachu).
319 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
320 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
321 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
322 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
323 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
324 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
325 - fix directory permissions on install.
326 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
327 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
328 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
329 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
330 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
331
3326.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
333 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
334 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
335 Chuck Blake.
336 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
337 obscure the mouse cursor position.
338 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
339 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
340 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
341 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
342 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
343 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
344 transfer efficiency.
345 - further minor cleanups.
346
3476.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
348 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
349 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
350 while the user still drags.
351 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
352 not drawn correctly.
353 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
354 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
355 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
356 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
357 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
358 stripping whitespace.
359 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
360 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
361
3626.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
363 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
364 - enable slow link support by default.
365 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
366 (also a bug in original rxvt).
367 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
368 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
369 partial patch).
370 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
371 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
372 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
373 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
374 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
375 - implement -hold option.
376 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
377 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
378 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
379 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
380 - slight overall speed improvements.
381 - considerably improved code clarity.
382 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
383 buffer.
384
3855.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
386 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
387 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
388 (matters only for rxvtd).
389 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
390 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
391 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
392
3935.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
394 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
395 If you want the old behaviour, try:
396 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
397 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
398 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
399 percentage by 100-percentage.
400 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
15 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update 401 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
16 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is 402 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
17 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other 403 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
18 windows. 404 windows.
405 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
406 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
407 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
408 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
409 - replaced INSTALL file.

205.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 4115.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
21 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. 412 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
22 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. 413 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
23 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do 414 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do

26 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines 417 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
27 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra 418 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
28 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt). 419 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
