13 17
18TODO: move resources out of allocated
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 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
26 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
27 needs the careful rendering mode.
28 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
29 too wide and needs careful mode.
30 - redraw even more characters around characters usign careful mode.
31 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
32 atoms only once per display.
33 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
34 xterm.
35
367.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
37 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
38 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
39 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
40 ctrl-shift-672c).
41 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
42 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
43 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
44 the primary screen.
45 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
46 could lead to an assertion failure.
47 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
48 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
49 via mouse clicks.
50 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
51 with shift - mouse button 2.
52 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
53 in non-synthetic events.
54 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
55 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
56 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
57 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
58 whole urxvt[d] process.
59 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
60 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
61 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
62 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
63
647.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
65 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
66 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
67 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
68 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
69 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
70 special privileges.
71 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
72 itself.
73 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
74 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
75 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
76 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
77 similar stuff.
78 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
79 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
80 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
81 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
82 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
83 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
84 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
85 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
86 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
87 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
88 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
89 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
90 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
91 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
92 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
93 to set the window title.
94 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
95 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
96 at the wrong time.
97 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
98 anymore.
99 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
100 - nuked QNX support.
101 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
102 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
103 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
104 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
105
1067.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
107 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
108 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
109 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
110 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
111 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
112 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
113 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
114 and much much more.
115 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
116 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
117 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
118 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
119 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
120 setuid/setgid.
121 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
122 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
123 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
124 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
125 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
126 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
127 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
128 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
129 compatible, and not really small either.
130 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
131 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
132 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
133 to crashes.
134 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
135 colours.
136 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
137 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
138
1396.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
140 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
141 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
142 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
143 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
144 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
145 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
146 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
147 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
148 by Mikachu).
149 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
150 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
151 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
152 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
153 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
154 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
155 - fix directory permissions on install.
156 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
157 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
158 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
159 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
160 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
161
1626.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
163 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
164 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
165 Chuck Blake.
166 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
167 obscure the mouse cursor position.
168 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
169 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
170 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
171 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
172 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
173 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
174 transfer efficiency.
175 - further minor cleanups.
176
1776.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
178 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
179 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
180 while the user still drags.
181 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
182 not drawn correctly.
183 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
184 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
185 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
186 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
187 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
188 stripping whitespace.
189 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
190 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.

15 - enable slow link support by default. 194 - enable slow link support by default.
195 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
196 (also a bug in original rxvt).
197 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
198 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
199 partial patch).
200 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
201 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
202 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
203 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
204 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
205 - implement -hold option.
16 - _major_ rewrite of internal line handling logic: 206 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
