1TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 2
3TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
4TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: keymap modification via esc-sequences. 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
8WISH: searchable backlog 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex/master process (my dream project) 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
16WISH: coloured pastebin
17WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one

20TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
12 21
136.1 22TODO: - upgrade to libev-4.00.
23
24 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
25 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
26 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
27 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
28 characters other than first one in the selected cell
29 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
31 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
33 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
34 (found by Mikachu).
35 - make OSC 17 / 19 apply to highlightColor / highlightTextColor.
36 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19.
37 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
38 highlighted characters.
39 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
40 but not to non selected cells with reverse video.
41 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
42 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
44 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
46 for 256 colours.
47 - add support for 256 colors.
48 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in that mode.
49 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
50 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
51 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
52 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
53 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
54
559.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
56 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
57 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
58 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
59 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
60 Mikachu).
61 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
62 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
63 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
64 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
65 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
66 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
67 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
68 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
69 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
70 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
71 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
72 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
73 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
74 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
75 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
76 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
77 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
78 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
79 - update to libptytty 1.3.
80 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
81 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
82 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
83 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
84 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
85 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
86 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
87 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
88 in need of fixing. go figure.
89 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
90 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
91 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
92 the new ->selection_screen method.
93 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
94 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
97 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
98 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
99
1009.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
101 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
102 - updates libev to 3.48.
103 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
104 when a window was closed.
105 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
106 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
107 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
108 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
109 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
110 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
111 makes copy&paste work.
112 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
113 no longer apply.
114 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
115 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
116 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
117 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
118 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
119 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
120 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
121 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
122 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
123 the only known workaround.
124 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
125 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
126 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
127 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
128 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
129 disabling size hints.
130 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
131 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
132 as mouse reporting.
133 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
134 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
135 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
136 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
137 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
138 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
139 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
140 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
141 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
142 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
143 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
144 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
145
1469.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
147 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
148 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
149 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
150 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
151 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
152 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
153 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
154 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
155 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
156 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
157 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
158 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
159 help working window managers as well.
160 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
161 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
162 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
163 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
164 from the toplevel window to the children.
165 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
166 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
167 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
168 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
169
1709.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
171 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
172 - fix build with !xft.
173 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
174
1759.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
176 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
177 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
178 received" problem, again :)
179 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
180
1819.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
182 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
183 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
184 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
185 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
186 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
187 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
188 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
189 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
190 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
191 channels or background images are used.
192 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
193 till the first event arrives. or so.
194 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
195 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
196 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
197 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
198 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
199 resets the terminal.
200 - scrollbar code cleanups.
201 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
202 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
203 - updated to libev 3.0.
204
2058.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
206 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
207 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
208 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
209 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
210 would not clear it visually in another.
211 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
212 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
213 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
214 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
215 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
216 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
217
2188.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
219 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
220 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
221 effects.
222 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
223 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
224 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
225 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
226 text was visible.
227 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
228 some minor improvements.
229 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
230 display and not once per terminal window.
231 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
232
2338.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
234 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
235 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
236 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
237
2388.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
239 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
240 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
241 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
242 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
243 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
244 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
245 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
246
2478.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
248 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
249
2508.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
251 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
252 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
253 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
254 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
255 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
256 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
257 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
258 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
259 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
260 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
261 - parallel builds should work once more.
262
2638.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
264 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
265 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
266 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
267 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
268 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
269 missing DISPLAY.
270 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
271 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
272 - updated io_manager.
273
2748.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
275 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
276 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
277 /usr/X11R6/lib.
278 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
279 patch by Sasha Vasko.
280 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
281 (patch by Philip Paeps).
282 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
283 (patch by Mikachu).
284 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
285 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
286 digit (exg).
287 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
288 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
289 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
290 extension (tpope).
291 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
292 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
293 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
294 problems.
295
2968.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
297 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
298 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
299 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
300 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
301 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
302 (found by Aiviru).
303 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
304 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
305 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
306 case to work around for :/
307 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
308 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
309 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
310 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
311 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
312 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
313 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
314 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
315 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
316 Paskevich).
317 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
318 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
319 - update libptytty.
320 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
321 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
322 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
323 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
324 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
325 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
326 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
327 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
328 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
329
3308.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
331 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
332 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
333 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
334 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
335 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
336 Reported by Takano Akio.
337 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
338 reported by exg.
339 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
340 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
341 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
342 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
343
3448.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
345 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
346 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
347 circumstances (reported by exg).
348 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
349 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
350 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
351 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
352 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
353 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
354 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
355 - update to libptytty-1.0.
356 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
357 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
358 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
359 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
360 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
361 bug #143985).
362 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
363 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
364 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
365 - manpage fix by exg.
366
3677.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
368 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
369 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
370 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
371 it does! :->
372 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
373 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
374
3757.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
376 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
377 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
378 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
379 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
380 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
381 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
382 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
383 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
384 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
385 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
386 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
387 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
388 uppercase character.
389 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
390 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
391 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
392 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
393 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
394 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
395 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
396 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
397 generic osc_seq.
398 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
399 were invoked recursively.
400 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
401 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
402 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
403 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
404 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
405 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
406 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
407 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
408 by omatunto_.
409 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
410 follow C++ closely enough.
411 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
412 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
413 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
414 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
415
4167.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
417 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
418 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
419 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
420 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
421 click, and eats the click.
422 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
423 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
424 refresh bugs please.
425 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
426 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
427 improve size hint setting.
428 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
429 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
430 to correctly position their preedit window.
431 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
432 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
433 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
434 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
435 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
436 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
437 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
438 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
439 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
440 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
441 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
442 (reported by Paco-Paco).
443 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
444 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
445 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
446
4477.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
448 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
449 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
450 resource value.
451 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
452 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
453 relevant tab window.
454 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
455 (initial patch by hednod).
456 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
457 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
458 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
459 the benefit of automove-background.
460 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
461 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
462 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
463 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
464 __linux__.
465 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
466 the colour components.
467 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
468 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
469 - more colour rtt optimisations.
470 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
471 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
472 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
473 - minor libptytty update.
474
4757.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
476 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
477 detection:
478 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
479 - overlap detection was improved.
480 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
481 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
482 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
483 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
484 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
485 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
486 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
487 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
488 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
489 broken.
490 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
491 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
492 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
493 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
494 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
495 (patch by Paco-Paco).
496 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
497 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
498 an "[alpha]" prefix.
499 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
500 transparent. Long Live Xft!
501 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
502 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
503 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
504 on a pseudocolor screen.
505 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
506 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
507 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
508 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
509 - small configure updates.
510 - further RTT optimisations.
511 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
512 the debian package.
513 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
514 but much newer than the old one.
515
5167.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
517 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
518 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
519 - small configure updates for libptytty.
520 - fixed version options: line output.
521 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
522
5237.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
524 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
525 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
526 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
527 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
528 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
529 selection extension.
530 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
531 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
532 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
533 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
534 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
535 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
536 needs the careful rendering mode.
537 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
538 too wide and needs careful mode.
539 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
540 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
541 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
542 atoms only once per display.
543 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
544 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
545 xterm.
546
5477.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
548 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
549 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
550 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
551 ctrl-shift-672c).
552 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
553 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
554 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
555 the primary screen.
556 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
557 could lead to an assertion failure.
558 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
559 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
560 via mouse clicks.
561 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
562 with shift - mouse button 2.
563 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
564 in non-synthetic events.
565 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
566 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
567 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
568 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
569 whole urxvt[d] process.
570 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
571 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
572 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
573 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
574
5757.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
576 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
577 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
578 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
579 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
580 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
581 special privileges.
582 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
583 itself.
584 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
585 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
586 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
587 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
588 similar stuff.
589 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
590 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
591 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
592 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
593 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
594 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
595 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
596 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
597 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
598 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
599 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
600 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
601 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
602 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
603 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
604 to set the window title.
605 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
606 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
607 at the wrong time.
608 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
609 anymore.
610 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
611 - nuked QNX support.
612 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
613 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
614 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
615 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
616
6177.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
618 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
619 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
620 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
621 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
622 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
623 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
624 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
625 and much much more.
626 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
627 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
628 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
629 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
630 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
631 setuid/setgid.
632 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
633 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
634 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
635 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
636 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
637 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
638 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
639 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
640 compatible, and not really small either.
641 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
642 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
643 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
644 to crashes.
645 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
646 colours.
647 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
648 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
649
6506.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
651 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
652 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
653 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
654 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
655 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
656 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
657 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
658 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
659 by Mikachu).
660 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
661 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
662 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
663 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
664 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
665 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
666 - fix directory permissions on install.
667 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
668 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
669 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
670 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
671 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
672
6736.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
674 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
675 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
676 Chuck Blake.
677 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
678 obscure the mouse cursor position.
679 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
680 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
681 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
682 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
683 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
684 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
685 transfer efficiency.
686 - further minor cleanups.
687
6886.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005

696 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
697 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
698 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
699 stripping whitespace.
700 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
701 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.

226.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005 7036.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
