207.2
21TODO: alsamixer/wild resize => secondary leaks into primary scrollback?
22 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
23 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
24 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
25 ctrl-shift-672c).
26 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
27 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
28 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
29 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
30 via mouse clicks.
31 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
32 with shift - mouse button 2.
33 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
34 in non-synthetic events.
35 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
36 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
37 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
38 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
39 whole urxvt[d] process.
40 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
41 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
42 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
43 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
44
457.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
46 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
47 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
48 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
49 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
50 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
51 special privileges.
52 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
53 itself.
54 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
55 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
56 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
57 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
58 similar stuff.
59 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
60 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
61 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
62 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
63 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
64 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
65 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
66 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
67 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
68 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
69 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
70 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
71 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
72 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
73 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
74 to set the window title.
75 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
76 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
77 at the wrong time.
78 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
79 anymore.
80 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
81 - nuked QNX support.
82 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
83 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
84 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
85 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
86
877.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
88 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
89 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
90 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
91 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
92 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
93 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
94 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
95 and much much more.
96 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
97 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
98 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
99 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
100 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
101 setuid/setgid.
102 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
103 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
104 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
105 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
106 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
107 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
109 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
110 compatible, and not really small either.
111 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
112 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
113 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
114 to crashes.
115 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
116 colours.
117 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
118 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
119
1206.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
121 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
122 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
123 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
124 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
125 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
126 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
127 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
128 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
129 by Mikachu).
130 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
131 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
132 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
133 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
134 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
135 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
136 - fix directory permissions on install.
137 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
138 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
139 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
140 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
141 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
142
1436.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
144 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
145 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
146 Chuck Blake.
147 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
148 obscure the mouse cursor position.
149 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
150 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
151 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
152 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
153 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
154 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
155 transfer efficiency.
156 - further minor cleanups.
157
1586.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
159 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
160 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
161 while the user still drags.
162 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
163 not drawn correctly.
164 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
165 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
166 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
167 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
168 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
169 stripping whitespace.
170 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
171 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
172
1736.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
174 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
175 - enable slow link support by default.
176 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
177 (also a bug in original rxvt).
178 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
179 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
180 partial patch).
181 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
182 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
183 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
184 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
185 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
186 - implement -hold option.
187 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
188 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
189 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
190 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
191 - slight overall speed improvements.
192 - considerably improved code clarity.
193 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
194 buffer.
