207.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
21 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
22 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
23 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
24 ctrl-shift-672c).
25 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
26 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
27 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
28 the primary screen.
29 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
30 could lead to an assertion failure.
31 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
32 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
33 via mouse clicks.
34 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
35 with shift - mouse button 2.
36 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
37 in non-synthetic events.
38 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
39 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
40 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
41 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
42 whole urxvt[d] process.
43 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
44 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
45 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
46 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
47
487.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
49 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
50 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
51 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
52 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
53 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
54 special privileges.
55 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
56 itself.
57 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
58 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
59 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
60 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
61 similar stuff.
62 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
63 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
64 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
65 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
66 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
67 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
68 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
69 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
70 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
71 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
72 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
73 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
74 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
75 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
76 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
77 to set the window title.
78 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
79 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
80 at the wrong time.
81 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
82 anymore.
83 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
84 - nuked QNX support.
85 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
86 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
87 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
88 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
89
907.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
91 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
92 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
93 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
94 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
95 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
96 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
97 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
98 and much much more.
99 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
100 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
101 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
102 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
103 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
104 setuid/setgid.
105 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
106 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
107 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
108 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
109 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
110 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
112 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
113 compatible, and not really small either.
114 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
115 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
116 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
117 to crashes.
118 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
119 colours.
120 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
121 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
122
1236.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
124 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
125 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
126 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
127 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
128 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
129 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
130 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
131 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
132 by Mikachu).
133 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
134 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
135 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
136 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
137 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
138 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
139 - fix directory permissions on install.
140 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
141 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
142 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
143 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
144 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
145
1466.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
147 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
148 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
149 Chuck Blake.
150 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
151 obscure the mouse cursor position.
152 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
153 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
154 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
155 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
156 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
157 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
158 transfer efficiency.
159 - further minor cleanups.
160
1616.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
162 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
163 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
164 while the user still drags.
165 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
166 not drawn correctly.
167 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
168 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
169 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
170 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
171 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
172 stripping whitespace.
173 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
174 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
175
1766.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
177 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
178 - enable slow link support by default.
179 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
180 (also a bug in original rxvt).
181 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
182 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
183 partial patch).
184 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
185 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
186 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
187 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
188 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
189 - implement -hold option.
190 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
191 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
192 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
193 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
194 - slight overall speed improvements.
195 - considerably improved code clarity.
196 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
197 buffer.
198
1995.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
200 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
201 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
202 (matters only for rxvtd).
203 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
204 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
205 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
206
2075.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005

219 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
220 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.

222 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
223 - replaced INSTALL file.
