23 20
245.8 21 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
22 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
23 generic osc_seq.
24 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
25 were invoked recursively.
26 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
27 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
28
297.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
30 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
31 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
32 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
33 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
34 click, and eats the click.
35 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
36 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
37 refresh bugs please.
38 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
39 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
40 improve size hint setting.
41 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
42 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
43 to correctly position their preedit window.
44 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
45 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
46 in empts spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
47 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
48 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
49 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
50 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
51 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
52 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
53 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
54 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
55 (reported by Paco-Paco).
56 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
57 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
58 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
59
607.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
61 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
62 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
63 resource value.
64 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
65 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
66 relevant tab window.
67 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
68 (initial patch by hednod).
69 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
70 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
71 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
72 the benefit of automove-background.
73 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
74 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
75 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
76 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
77 __linux__.
78 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
79 the colour components.
80 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
81 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
82 - more colour rtt optimisations.
83 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
84 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
85 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
86 - minor libptytty update.
87
887.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
89 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
90 detection:
91 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
92 - overlap detection was improved.
93 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
94 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
95 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
96 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
97 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
98 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
99 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
100 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
101 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
102 broken.
103 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
104 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
105 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
106 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
107 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
108 (patch by Paco-Paco).
109 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
110 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
111 an "[alpha]" prefix.
112 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
113 transparent. Long Live Xft!
114 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
115 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
116 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
117 on a pseudocolor screen.
118 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
119 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
120 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
121 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
122 - small configure updates.
123 - further RTT optimisations.
124
1257.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
126 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
127 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
128 - small configure updates for libptytty.
129 - fixed version options: line output.
130 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
131
1327.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
133 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
134 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
135 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
136 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
137 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
138 selection extension.
139 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
140 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
141 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
142 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
143 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
144 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
145 needs the careful rendering mode.
146 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
147 too wide and needs careful mode.
148 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
149 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
150 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
151 atoms only once per display.
152 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
153 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
154 xterm.
155
1567.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
157 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
158 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
159 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
160 ctrl-shift-672c).
161 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
162 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
163 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
164 the primary screen.
165 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
166 could lead to an assertion failure.
167 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
168 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
169 via mouse clicks.
170 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
171 with shift - mouse button 2.
172 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
173 in non-synthetic events.
174 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
175 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
176 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
177 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
178 whole urxvt[d] process.
179 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
180 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
181 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
182 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
183
1847.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
185 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
186 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
187 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
188 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
189 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
190 special privileges.
191 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
192 itself.
193 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
194 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
195 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
196 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
197 similar stuff.
198 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
199 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
200 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
201 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
202 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
203 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
204 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
205 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
206 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
207 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
208 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
209 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
210 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
211 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
213 to set the window title.
214 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
215 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
216 at the wrong time.
217 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
218 anymore.
219 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
220 - nuked QNX support.
221 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
222 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
223 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
224 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
225
2267.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
227 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
228 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
229 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
230 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
231 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
232 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
233 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
234 and much much more.
235 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
236 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
237 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
238 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
239 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
240 setuid/setgid.
241 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
242 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
243 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
244 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
245 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
246 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
247 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
248 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
249 compatible, and not really small either.
250 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
251 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
252 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
253 to crashes.
254 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
255 colours.
256 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
257 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
258
2596.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
260 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
261 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
262 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
263 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
264 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
265 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
266 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
267 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
268 by Mikachu).
269 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
270 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
271 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
272 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
273 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
274 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
275 - fix directory permissions on install.
276 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
277 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
278 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
279 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
280 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
281
2826.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
283 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
284 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
285 Chuck Blake.
286 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
287 obscure the mouse cursor position.
288 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
289 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
290 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
291 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
292 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
293 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
294 transfer efficiency.
295 - further minor cleanups.
296
2976.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
298 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
299 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
300 while the user still drags.
301 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
302 not drawn correctly.
303 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
304 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
305 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
306 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
307 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
308 stripping whitespace.
309 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
310 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
311
3126.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
313 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
314 - enable slow link support by default.
315 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
316 (also a bug in original rxvt).
317 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
318 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
319 partial patch).
320 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
321 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
322 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
323 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
324 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
325 - implement -hold option.
326 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
327 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
328 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
329 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
330 - slight overall speed improvements.
331 - considerably improved code clarity.
332 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
333 buffer.
334
3355.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
336 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
337 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
338 (matters only for rxvtd).
339 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
340 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
341 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
342
3435.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
344 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
345 If you want the old behaviour, try:
346 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
