169.0
17 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
18 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
19 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
20 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
21 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
22 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
23 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
24 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
25 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
26 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
27 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up
28 and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code.
29 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
30 to set the window title.
31
327.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
33 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
34 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
35 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
36 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
37 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
38 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
39 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
40 and much much more.
41 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
42 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
43 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
44 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
45 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
46 setuid/setgid.
47 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
48 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
49 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
50 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
51 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
52 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
54 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
55 compatible, and not really small either.
56 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
57 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
58 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
59 to crashes.
60 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
61 colours.
62 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
63 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
64
656.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
66 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
67 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
68 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
69 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
70 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
71 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
72 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
73 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
74 by Mikachu).
75 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
76 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
77 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
78 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
79 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
80 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
81 - fix directory permissions on install.
82 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
83 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
84 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
85 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
86 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
87
886.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
89 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
90 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
91 Chuck Blake.
92 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
93 obscure the mouse cursor position.
94 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
95 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
96 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
97 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
98 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
99 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
100 transfer efficiency.
101 - further minor cleanups.
102
1036.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
104 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
105 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
106 while the user still drags.
107 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
108 not drawn correctly.
109 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
110 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
111 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
112 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
113 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
114 stripping whitespace.
115 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
116 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
117
1186.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
14 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again. 119 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
120 - enable slow link support by default.
121 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
122 (also a bug in original rxvt).
123 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
124 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
125 partial patch).
126 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
127 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
128 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
129 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
130 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
131 - implement -hold option.
132 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
133 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
134 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
135 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
136 - slight overall speed improvements.
137 - considerably improved code clarity.
138 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
139 buffer.
