159.0
16 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
17 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
18 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
19 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
20 at the wrong time.
21 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
22 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
23 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
24 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
25 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
26 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
27 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
28 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
29 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up
30 and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code.
31 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C.
32 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
33 to set the window title.
34
357.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
36 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
37 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
38 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
39 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
40 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
41 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
42 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
43 and much much more.
44 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
45 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
46 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
47 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
48 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
49 setuid/setgid.
50 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
51 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
52 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
53 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
54 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
55 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
56 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
57 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
58 compatible, and not really small either.
59 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
60 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
61 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
62 to crashes.
63 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
64 colours.
65 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
66 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
67
686.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
69 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
70 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
71 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
72 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
73 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
74 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
75 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
76 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
77 by Mikachu).
78 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
79 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
80 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
81 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
82 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
83 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
84 - fix directory permissions on install.
85 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
86 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
87 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
88 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
89 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
90
916.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
92 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
93 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
94 Chuck Blake.
95 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
96 obscure the mouse cursor position.
97 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
98 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
99 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
100 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
101 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
102 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
103 transfer efficiency.
104 - further minor cleanups.
105
1066.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
107 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
108 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
109 while the user still drags.
110 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
111 not drawn correctly.
112 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
113 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
114 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
115 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
116 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
117 stripping whitespace.
118 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
119 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
120
1216.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
122 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
123 - enable slow link support by default.
124 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
125 (also a bug in original rxvt).
126 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
127 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
128 partial patch).
129 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
130 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
131 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
132 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
133 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
134 - implement -hold option.
135 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
136 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
137 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
138 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
139 - slight overall speed improvements.
140 - considerably improved code clarity.
141 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
142 buffer.
