157.3a Thu Jan 26 01:08:25 CET 2006
16 - removed stoopid debugging message.
17
187.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
19 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
20 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
21 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
22 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
23 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
24 selection extension.
25 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
26 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
27 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
28 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
29 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
30 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
31 needs the careful rendering mode.
32 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
33 too wide and needs careful mode.
34 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
35 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
36 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
37 atoms only once per display.
38 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
39 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
40 xterm.
41
427.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
43 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
44 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
45 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
46 ctrl-shift-672c).
47 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
48 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
49 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
50 the primary screen.
51 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
52 could lead to an assertion failure.
53 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
54 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
55 via mouse clicks.
56 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
57 with shift - mouse button 2.
58 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
59 in non-synthetic events.
60 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
61 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
62 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
63 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
64 whole urxvt[d] process.
65 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
66 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
67 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
68 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
69
707.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
71 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
72 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
73 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
74 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
75 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
76 special privileges.
77 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
78 itself.
79 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
80 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
81 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
82 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
83 similar stuff.
84 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
85 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
86 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
87 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
88 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
89 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
90 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
91 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
92 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
93 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
94 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
95 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
96 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
97 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
99 to set the window title.
100 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
101 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
102 at the wrong time.
103 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
104 anymore.
105 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
106 - nuked QNX support.
107 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
108 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
109 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
110 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
111
1127.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
113 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
114 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
115 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
116 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
117 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
118 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
119 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
120 and much much more.
121 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
122 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
123 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
124 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
125 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
126 setuid/setgid.
127 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
128 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
129 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
130 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
131 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
132 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
133 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
134 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
135 compatible, and not really small either.
136 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
137 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
138 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
139 to crashes.
140 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
141 colours.
142 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
143 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
144
1456.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
146 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
147 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
148 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
149 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
150 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
151 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
152 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
153 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
154 by Mikachu).
155 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
156 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
157 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
158 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
159 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
160 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
161 - fix directory permissions on install.
162 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
163 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
164 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
165 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
166 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
167
1686.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
169 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
170 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
171 Chuck Blake.
172 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
173 obscure the mouse cursor position.
174 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
175 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
176 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
177 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
178 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
179 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
180 transfer efficiency.
181 - further minor cleanups.
182
1836.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
184 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
185 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
186 while the user still drags.
187 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
188 not drawn correctly.
189 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
190 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
191 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
192 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
193 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
194 stripping whitespace.
195 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
196 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
197
1986.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
199 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
200 - enable slow link support by default.
201 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
202 (also a bug in original rxvt).
203 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
204 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
205 partial patch).
206 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
207 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
208 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
209 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
210 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
211 - implement -hold option.
212 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
213 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
214 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
215 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
216 - slight overall speed improvements.
217 - considerably improved code clarity.
218 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
219 buffer.
