6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
10WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
11WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
8WISH: /usr/share/doc/libdisplaymigration0-dev/spec.txt 13DUMB: support tex fonts
9WISH: keymap modification via esc-sequences. 14
10WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 157.5 Mon Jan 30 23:49:13 CET 2006
11WISH: searchable backlog 16 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
12WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex/master process (my dream project) 17 detection:
13WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 18 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
14WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 19 - overlap detection was improved.
15WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 20 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
21 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
22 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
23 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
24 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
25 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
26 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
27 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
28 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
29 broken.
30 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
31 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
32 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
33 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
34 - short-cut allocation of known rgb values in the xlib case
35 (patch by Paco-Paco).
36 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
37 - support rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa, #argb, #aarrggbb and
38 #aaaarrrrggggbbbb (yes, it did hurt) colour "names".
39 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
40 transparent. Long Live Xft!
41 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
42 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
43 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
44 on a pseudocolor screen.
45 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
46 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
47 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
48 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
49 - small configure updates.
50 - further RTT optimisations.
51
527.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
53 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
54 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
55 - small configure updates for libptytty.
56 - fixed version options: line output.
57 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
58
597.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
60 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
61 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
62 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
63 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
64 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
65 selection extension.
66 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
67 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
68 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
69 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
70 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
71 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
72 needs the careful rendering mode.
73 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
74 too wide and needs careful mode.
75 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
76 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
77 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
78 atoms only once per display.
79 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
80 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
81 xterm.
82
837.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
84 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
85 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
86 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
87 ctrl-shift-672c).
88 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
89 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
90 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
91 the primary screen.
92 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
93 could lead to an assertion failure.
94 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
95 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
96 via mouse clicks.
97 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
98 with shift - mouse button 2.
99 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
100 in non-synthetic events.
101 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
102 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
103 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
104 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
105 whole urxvt[d] process.
106 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
107 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
108 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
109 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
110
1117.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
112 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
113 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
114 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
115 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
116 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
117 special privileges.
118 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
119 itself.
120 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
121 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
122 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
123 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
124 similar stuff.
125 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
126 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
127 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
128 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
129 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
130 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
131 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
132 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
133 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
134 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
135 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
136 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
137 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
138 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
139 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
140 to set the window title.
141 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
142 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
143 at the wrong time.
144 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
145 anymore.
146 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
147 - nuked QNX support.
148 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
149 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
150 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
151 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
152
1537.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
154 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
155 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
156 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
157 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
158 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
159 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
160 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
161 and much much more.
162 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
163 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
164 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
165 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
166 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
167 setuid/setgid.
168 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
169 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
170 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
171 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
172 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
173 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
174 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
175 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
176 compatible, and not really small either.
177 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
178 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
179 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
180 to crashes.
181 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
182 colours.
183 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
184 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
185
1866.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
187 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
188 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
189 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
190 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
191 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
192 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
193 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
194 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
195 by Mikachu).
196 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
197 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
198 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
199 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
200 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
201 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
202 - fix directory permissions on install.
203 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
204 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
205 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
206 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
207 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
208
2096.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
210 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
211 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
212 Chuck Blake.
213 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
214 obscure the mouse cursor position.
215 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
216 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
217 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
218 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
219 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
220 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
221 transfer efficiency.
222 - further minor cleanups.
223
2246.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
225 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
226 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
227 while the user still drags.
228 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
229 not drawn correctly.
230 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
231 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
232 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
233 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
234 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
235 stripping whitespace.
236 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
237 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
238
2396.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
240 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
241 - enable slow link support by default.
242 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
243 (also a bug in original rxvt).
244 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
245 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
246 partial patch).
247 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
248 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
249 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
250 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
251 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
252 - implement -hold option.
253 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
254 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
255 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
256 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
257 - slight overall speed improvements.
258 - considerably improved code clarity.
259 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
260 buffer.
261
2625.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
263 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
264 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
265 (matters only for rxvtd).
266 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
267 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
268 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
