12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
13DUMB: support tex fonts
14
15TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
16 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
17 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
18 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
19 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
20 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
21 selection extension.
22 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
23 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
24 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
25 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
26 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
27 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
28 needs the careful rendering mode.
29 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
30 too wide and needs careful mode.
31 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
32 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
33 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
34 atoms only once per display.
35 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
36 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
37 xterm.
38
397.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
40 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
41 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
42 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
43 ctrl-shift-672c).
44 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
45 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
46 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
47 the primary screen.
48 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
49 could lead to an assertion failure.
50 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
51 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
52 via mouse clicks.
53 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
54 with shift - mouse button 2.
55 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
56 in non-synthetic events.
57 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
58 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
59 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
60 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
61 whole urxvt[d] process.
62 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
63 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
64 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
65 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
66
677.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
68 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
69 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
70 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
71 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
72 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
73 special privileges.
74 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
75 itself.
76 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
77 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
78 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
79 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
80 similar stuff.
81 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
82 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
83 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
84 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
85 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
86 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
87 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
88 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
89 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
90 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
91 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
92 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
93 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
94 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
96 to set the window title.
97 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
98 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
99 at the wrong time.
100 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
101 anymore.
102 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
103 - nuked QNX support.
104 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
105 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
106 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
107 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
108
1097.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
110 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
111 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
112 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
113 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
114 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
115 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
116 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
117 and much much more.
118 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
119 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
120 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
121 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
122 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
123 setuid/setgid.
124 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
125 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
126 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
127 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
128 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
129 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
131 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
132 compatible, and not really small either.
133 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
134 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
135 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
136 to crashes.
137 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
138 colours.
139 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
140 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
141
1426.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
143 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
144 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
145 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
146 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
147 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
148 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
149 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
150 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
151 by Mikachu).
152 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
153 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
154 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
155 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
156 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
157 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
158 - fix directory permissions on install.
159 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
160 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
161 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
162 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
163 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
164
1656.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
166 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
167 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
168 Chuck Blake.
169 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
170 obscure the mouse cursor position.
171 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
172 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
173 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
174 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
175 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
176 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
177 transfer efficiency.
178 - further minor cleanups.
179
1806.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
181 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
182 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
183 while the user still drags.
184 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
185 not drawn correctly.
186 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
187 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
188 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
189 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
190 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
191 stripping whitespace.
192 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
193 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
194
1956.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
196 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
197 - enable slow link support by default.
198 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
199 (also a bug in original rxvt).
200 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
201 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
202 partial patch).
203 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
204 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
205 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
206 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
207 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
208 - implement -hold option.
209 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
210 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
211 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
212 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
213 - slight overall speed improvements.
214 - considerably improved code clarity.
215 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
216 buffer.
