18TODO: ctrl - mouse button2 in vim makes X freeze
19 - don't let iso14755 get into the way of perl (could lead to global
20 grabs never being cleared).
21 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
22
237.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
24 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
25 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
26 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
27 ctrl-shift-672c).
28 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
29 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
30 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
31 the primary screen.
32 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
33 could lead to an assertion failure.
34 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
35 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
36 via mouse clicks.
37 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
38 with shift - mouse button 2.
39 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
40 in non-synthetic events.
41 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
42 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
43 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
44 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
45 whole urxvt[d] process.
46 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
47 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
48 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
49 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
50
517.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
52 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
53 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
54 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
55 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
56 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
57 special privileges.
58 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
59 itself.
60 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
61 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
62 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
63 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
64 similar stuff.
65 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
66 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
67 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
68 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
69 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
70 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
71 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
72 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
73 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
74 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
75 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
76 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
77 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
78 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
80 to set the window title.
81 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
82 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
83 at the wrong time.
84 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
85 anymore.
86 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
87 - nuked QNX support.
88 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
89 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
90 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
91 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
92
937.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
94 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
95 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
96 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
97 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
98 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
99 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
100 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
101 and much much more.
102 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
103 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
104 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
105 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
106 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
107 setuid/setgid.
108 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
109 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
110 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
111 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
112 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
113 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
115 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
116 compatible, and not really small either.
117 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
118 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
119 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
120 to crashes.
121 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
122 colours.
123 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
124 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
125
1266.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
127 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
128 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
129 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
130 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
131 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
132 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
133 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
134 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
135 by Mikachu).
136 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
137 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
138 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
139 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
140 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
141 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
142 - fix directory permissions on install.
143 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
144 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
145 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
146 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
147 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
148
1496.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
150 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
151 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
152 Chuck Blake.
153 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
154 obscure the mouse cursor position.
155 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
156 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
157 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
158 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
159 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
160 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
161 transfer efficiency.
162 - further minor cleanups.
163
1646.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
165 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
166 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
167 while the user still drags.
168 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
169 not drawn correctly.
170 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
171 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
172 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
173 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
174 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
175 stripping whitespace.
176 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
177 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
178
1796.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
180 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
181 - enable slow link support by default.
182 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
183 (also a bug in original rxvt).
184 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
185 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
186 partial patch).
187 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
188 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
189 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
190 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
191 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
192 - implement -hold option.
193 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
194 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
195 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
196 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
197 - slight overall speed improvements.
198 - considerably improved code clarity.
199 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
200 buffer.
