166.2
17 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably
18 most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty,
19 resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal.
20 Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley.
21 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
22 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
23 Chuck Blake.
24 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
25 obscure the mouse cursor position.
26 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
27 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
28 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
29 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
30 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
31 - further minor cleanups.
32
336.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
34 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
35 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
36 while the user still drags.
37 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
38 not drawn correctly.
39 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
40 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
41 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
42 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
43 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
44 stripping whitespace.
45 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
46 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
47
486.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
49 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
50 - enable slow link support by default.
51 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
52 (also a bug in original rxvt).
53 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
54 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
55 partial patch).
56 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
57 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
58 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
59 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
60 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
61 - implement -hold option.
62 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
63 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
64 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
65 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
66 - slight overall speed improvements.
67 - considerably improved code clarity.
68 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
69 buffer.
70
715.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
72 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
73 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
74 (matters only for rxvtd).
75 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
76 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
77 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
78
795.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
80 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
81 If you want the old behaviour, try:
82 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
83 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
84 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
85 percentage by 100-percentage.
86 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
87 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
88 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
89 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
90 windows.
91 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
92 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
93 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
94 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
95 - replaced INSTALL file.
96
975.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
98 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
99 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
100 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
101 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
102 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
103 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
104 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
105 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
106
1075.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
108 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
109 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
110 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
111 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
112 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
113 Affects display in iso14755 box.
114 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
115 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
116 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
117 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
118 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
119 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
120 cutting pieces off of characters.
121 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
122 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
123 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
124 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
125 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
126 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
127 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
128
1295.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
130 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
131 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
132 meaning of the given key.
133 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
134 (patch by Martin Edlman).
135
1365.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
137 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
138 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
139 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
140 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
141 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
142 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
143 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
144 to disable it.
13 145
145.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005 1465.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
