18 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
19 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
20 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
21 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
22 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
23 special privileges.
24 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
25 itself.
26 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
27 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
28 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
29 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
30 similar stuff.
31 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
32 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
33 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
34 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
35 - some fixes to xpm offste and scaling code.
36 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
37 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
38 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
39 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
40 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
41 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
42 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
43 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
44 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
45 to set the window title.
46 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
47 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
48 at the wrong time.
49 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
50 anymore.
51 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
52 - nuked QNX support.
53 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
54 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
55
567.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
57 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
58 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
59 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
60 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
61 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
62 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
63 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
64 and much much more.
65 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
66 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
67 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
68 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
69 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
70 setuid/setgid.
71 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
72 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
73 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
74 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
75 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
76 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
77 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
78 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
79 compatible, and not really small either.
80 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
81 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
82 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
83 to crashes.
84 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
85 colours.
86 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
87 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
88
896.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
90 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
91 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
92 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
93 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
94 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
95 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
96 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
97 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
98 by Mikachu).
99 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
100 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
101 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
102 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
103 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
104 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
105 - fix directory permissions on install.
106 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
107 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
108 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
109 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
110 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
111
1126.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
113 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
114 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
115 Chuck Blake.
116 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
117 obscure the mouse cursor position.
118 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
119 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
120 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
121 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
122 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
123 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
124 transfer efficiency.
125 - further minor cleanups.
126
1276.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
128 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
129 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
130 while the user still drags.
131 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
132 not drawn correctly.
133 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
134 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
135 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
136 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
137 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
138 stripping whitespace.
139 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
140 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
141
1426.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
143 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
144 - enable slow link support by default.
145 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
146 (also a bug in original rxvt).
147 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
148 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
149 partial patch).
150 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
151 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
152 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
153 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
154 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
155 - implement -hold option.
156 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
157 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
158 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
159 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
160 - slight overall speed improvements.
161 - considerably improved code clarity.
162 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
163 buffer.

46 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra 198 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
