This + makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code + and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with + special privileges. + - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid + itself. + - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get + the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap. + - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to + e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or + similar stuff. + - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't + span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps + for programs displaying a status line at the bottom. + - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. + - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection + code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases + :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. + - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now + being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. + - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus, + as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm). + - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD. + - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure + (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, + to set the window title. + - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes + some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables + at the wrong time. + - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support + anymore. + - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH. + - nuked QNX support. + - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code. + - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. + - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. + - iom extended to support listening for child exits. + +7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006 + - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about + SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. + - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and + option-popup extensions enabled by default. + - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect + will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. + - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support + and much much more. + - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. + - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. + - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. + - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. + - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started + setuid/setgid. + - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a + side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. + - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. + - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast. + - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic. + - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler. + - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really + compatible, and not really small either. + - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support. + - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file. + - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead + to crashes. + - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all + colours. + - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode. + - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering. + +6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006 + - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were + not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as + world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt, + too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only + systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not + GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley). + - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations. + restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported + by Mikachu). + - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more + intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback, + menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option, + perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet. + - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent. + Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now. + - fix directory permissions on install. + - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters + and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack). + - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless + (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended + periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here. + +6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006 + - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink + selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by + Chuck Blake. + - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would + obscure the mouse cursor position. + - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly + returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc + on a few architectures). Reported by darix. + - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate + the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing). + - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data + transfer efficiency. + - further minor cleanups. + +6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005 + - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.). + - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback + while the user still drags. + - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were + not drawn correctly. + - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading + to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults. + - iso14755 overlay position was wrong. + - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too. + - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for + stripping whitespace. + - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections. + - slight cleanups in src/features.h. -6.0 +6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again. - enable slow link support by default. - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions (also a bug in original rxvt). + - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails + (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a + partial patch). + - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each. + - bump max savelines to 10000000. + - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process. + - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary. - major code cleanup (still not complete, though). + - implement -hold option. - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling: -# - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged. + - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged. - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling). - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal. - slight overall speed improvements. @@ -646,12 +821,12 @@ - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701. also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific unicode character. - - no longer set XA_CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL + - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL get it wrong. - - don't use XTextStyle for XA_TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle. + - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle. 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004 - - NOTE: the name of the binary and ressources were changed in + - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in this version, see README.configure if you want the old settings. - added plain "big5" encoding into CN. @@ -699,7 +874,7 @@ - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled. - correct cursor width if !focus. - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch. - - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard block + - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch contributed. - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set. - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty. @@ -709,9 +884,9 @@ 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004 - almost total conversion to C++.
