16 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably
17 most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty,
18 resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal.
19 Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley.
20 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
21 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
22 Chuck Blake.
23 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
24 obscure the mouse cursor position.
25 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
26 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
27 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
28 - further minor cleanups.
29
306.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
31 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
32 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
33 while the user still drags.
34 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
35 not drawn correctly.
36 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
37 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
38 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
39 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
40 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
41 stripping whitespace.
42 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
43 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
44
456.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
46 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
47 - enable slow link support by default.
48 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
49 (also a bug in original rxvt).
50 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
51 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
52 partial patch).
53 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
54 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
55 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
56 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
57 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
58 - implement -hold option.
59 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
60 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
61 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
62 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
63 - slight overall speed improvements.
64 - considerably improved code clarity.
65 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
66 buffer.
67
685.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
69 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
70 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
71 (matters only for rxvtd).
72 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
73 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
74 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
75
765.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
77 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
78 If you want the old behaviour, try:
79 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
80 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
81 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
82 percentage by 100-percentage.
83 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
84 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
85 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
86 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
87 windows.
88 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
89 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
90 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
91 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
92 - replaced INSTALL file.
93
945.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
95 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
96 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
97 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
98 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
99 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
100 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
101 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
102 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
