19 | |
|
|
20 | - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window |
|
|
21 | when the command exited but only on the next X event. |
|
|
22 | - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode. |
|
|
23 | - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu). |
|
|
24 | - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu). |
|
|
25 | |
|
|
26 | 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007 |
|
|
27 | - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating |
|
|
28 | options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting |
|
|
29 | effects. |
|
|
30 | - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the |
|
|
31 | symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also |
|
|
32 | fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing. |
|
|
33 | - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking |
|
|
34 | text was visible. |
|
|
35 | - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with |
|
|
36 | some minor improvements. |
|
|
37 | - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per |
|
|
38 | display and not once per terminal window. |
|
|
39 | - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations. |
|
|
40 | |
|
|
41 | 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007 |
|
|
42 | - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes |
|
|
43 | when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended). |
|
|
44 | - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills. |
|
|
45 | |
|
|
46 | 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007 |
|
|
47 | - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it |
|
|
48 | seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys. |
|
|
49 | - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and |
|
|
50 | especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms: |
|
|
51 | urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity). |
|
|
52 | - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing. |
|
|
53 | - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one. |
|
|
54 | |
|
|
55 | 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007 |
|
|
56 | - make it compile with --disable-transparency. |
|
|
57 | |
|
|
58 | 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007 |
|
|
59 | - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report. |
|
|
60 | - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to |
|
|
61 | the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev). |
|
|
62 | - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars). |
|
|
63 | - fix memory leak in pixmap code. |
|
|
64 | - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback |
|
|
65 | on (typical) 64 bit systems. |
|
|
66 | - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap |
|
|
67 | geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root" |
|
|
68 | - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore. |
|
|
69 | - parallel builds should work once more. |
|
|
70 | |
|
|
71 | 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007 |
|
|
72 | - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha). |
|
|
73 | - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron. |
|
|
74 | (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?). |
|
|
75 | - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child. |
|
|
76 | - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or |
|
|
77 | missing DISPLAY. |
|
|
78 | - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg). |
|
|
79 | - source code organisational cleanups (exg). |
|
|
80 | - updated io_manager. |
|
|
81 | |
|
|
82 | 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007 |
|
|
83 | - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default. |
|
|
84 | - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not |
|
|
85 | /usr/X11R6/lib. |
|
|
86 | - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support |
|
|
87 | patch by Sasha Vasko. |
|
|
88 | - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint |
|
|
89 | (patch by Philip Paeps). |
|
|
90 | - do not process focus events caused by grabs |
|
|
91 | (patch by Mikachu). |
|
|
92 | - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg). |
|
|
93 | - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last |
|
|
94 | digit (exg). |
|
|
95 | - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg). |
|
|
96 | - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore. |
|
|
97 | - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher |
|
|
98 | extension (tpope). |
|
|
99 | - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg). |
|
|
100 | - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter). |
|
|
101 | - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor |
|
|
102 | problems. |
|
|
103 | |
|
|
104 | 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007 |
|
|
105 | - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg. |
|
|
106 | - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong. |
|
|
107 | (patch by Sergey Vlasov). |
|
|
108 | - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat. |
|
|
109 | - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg |
|
|
110 | (found by Aiviru). |
|
|
111 | - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives |
|
|
112 | a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives |
|
|
113 | a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common |
|
|
114 | case to work around for :/ |
|
|
115 | - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher |
|
|
116 | (patch by Moshe Kamensky). |
|
|
117 | - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL. |
|
|
118 | - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first. |
|
|
119 | - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg). |
|
|
120 | - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept |
|
|
121 | open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details). |
|
|
122 | - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been |
|
|
123 | set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei |
|
|
124 | Paskevich). |
|
|
125 | - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface. |
|
|
126 | - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants. |
|
|
127 | - update libptytty. |
|
|
128 | - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init. |
|
|
129 | - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to |
|
|
130 | meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f). |
|
|
131 | - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap |
|
|
132 | from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg). |
|
|
133 | - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of |
|
|
134 | the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov). |
|
|
135 | - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft |
|
|
136 | font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg). |
|
|
137 | |
|
|
138 | 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006 |
|
|
139 | - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!! |
|
|
140 | - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now |
|
|
141 | only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.). |
|
|
142 | - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk |
|
|
143 | confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot. |
|
|
144 | Reported by Takano Akio. |
|
|
145 | - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage), |
|
|
146 | reported by exg. |
|
|
147 | - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage. |
|
|
148 | - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist. |
|
|
149 | - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc). |
|
|
150 | - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0. |
|
|
151 | |
|
|
152 | 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006 |
|
|
153 | - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay, |
|
|
154 | thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most |
|
|
155 | circumstances (reported by exg). |
|
|
156 | - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the |
|
|
157 | basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope). |
|
|
158 | - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C. |
|
|
159 | - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions. |
|
|
160 | - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension. |
|
|
161 | - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope). |
|
|
162 | - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts. |
|
|
163 | - update to libptytty-1.0. |
|
|
164 | - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of |
|
|
165 | corrupting the stack (patch by exg). |
|
|
166 | - display current terminal locale in option menu. |
|
|
167 | - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible |
|
|
168 | working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo |
|
|
169 | bug #143985). |
|
|
170 | - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer. |
|
|
171 | - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that |
|
|
172 | should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless. |
|
|
173 | - manpage fix by exg. |
|
|
174 | |
|
|
175 | 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006 |
|
|
176 | - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl |
|
|
177 | + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348. |
|
|
178 | - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But |
|
|
179 | it does! :-> |
|
|
180 | - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer. |
|
|
181 | - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves). |
|
|
182 | |
|
|
183 | 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006 |
|
|
184 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults, |
|
|
185 | earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from |
|
|
186 | .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my |
|
|
187 | resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults |
|
|
188 | resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources. |
|
|
189 | - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake |
|
|
190 | terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl). |
|
|
191 | - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and |
|
|
192 | Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds). |
|
|
193 | - the "depth" resource is now respected. |
|
|
194 | - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search |
|
|
195 | to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an |
|
|
196 | uppercase character. |
|
|
197 | - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h. |
|
|
198 | - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on |
|
|
199 | a patch by Martin Stubenschrott. |
|
|
200 | - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues |
|
|
201 | when pixmap transparency was enabled. |
|
|
202 | - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to |
|
|
203 | match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin. |
|
|
204 | - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more |
|
|
205 | generic osc_seq. |
|
|
206 | - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks |
|
|
207 | were invoked recursively. |
|
|
208 | - the automove-background extension now properly works when the |
|
|
209 | pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek). |
|
|
210 | - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters. |
|
|
211 | - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg |
|
|
212 | (patch by Wu Fengguang). |
|
|
213 | - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there |
|
|
214 | (spotted by Decklin Foster). |
|
|
215 | - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported |
|
|
216 | by omatunto_. |
|
|
217 | - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't |
|
|
218 | follow C++ closely enough. |
|
|
219 | - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger. |
|
|
220 | - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang. |
|
|
221 | - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the |
|
|
222 | bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays. |
|
|
223 | |
|
|
224 | 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006 |
|
|
225 | - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware |
|
|
226 | combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense |
|
|
227 | of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author. |
|
|
228 | - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal |
|
|
229 | click, and eats the click. |
|
|
230 | - tabbed perl extension now supports -e. |
|
|
231 | - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any |
|
|
232 | refresh bugs please. |
|
|
233 | - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property |
|
|
234 | changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips, |
|
|
235 | improve size hint setting. |
|
|
236 | - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets |
|
|
237 | the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods |
|
|
238 | to correctly position their preedit window. |
|
|
239 | - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the |
|
|
240 | former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same |
|
|
241 | in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection), |
|
|
242 | so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where |
|
|
243 | selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours. |
|
|
244 | - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate |
|
|
245 | focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed. |
|
|
246 | - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting. |
|
|
247 | - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on |
|
|
248 | colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
249 | - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly |
|
|
250 | (reported by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
251 | - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be |
|
|
252 | working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt. |
|
|
253 | - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option. |
|
|
254 | |
|
|
255 | 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006 |
|
|
256 | - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. |
|
|
257 | - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the |
|
|
258 | resource value. |
|
|
259 | - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument. |
|
|
260 | - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th |
|
|
261 | relevant tab window. |
|
|
262 | - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults |
|
|
263 | (initial patch by hednod). |
|
|
264 | - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and |
|
|
265 | selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime. |
|
|
266 | - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for |
|
|
267 | the benefit of automove-background. |
|
|
268 | - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset. |
|
|
269 | - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect. |
|
|
270 | - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted. |
|
|
271 | - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on |
|
|
272 | __linux__. |
|
|
273 | - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering |
|
|
274 | the colour components. |
|
|
275 | - plain scrollbar works better with -sr. |
|
|
276 | - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look. |
|
|
277 | - more colour rtt optimisations. |
|
|
278 | - properly(?) free colours on window close. |
|
|
279 | - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections. |
|
|
280 | - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets. |
|
|
281 | - minor libptytty update. |
|
|
282 | |
|
|
283 | 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006 |
|
|
284 | - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width |
|
|
285 | detection: |
|
|
286 | - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated, |
|
|
287 | - overlap detection was improved. |
|
|
288 | - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft). |
|
|
289 | - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking, |
|
|
290 | causing unnecessary screen redraws. |
|
|
291 | - better handling of XFT combining characters. |
|
|
292 | - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they |
|
|
293 | might get used for other encodings which really need it, later. |
|
|
294 | - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally |
|
|
295 | weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft. |
|
|
296 | - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly |
|
|
297 | broken. |
|
|
298 | - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken. |
|
|
299 | - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to |
|
|
300 | reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation |
|
|
301 | of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft. |
|
|
302 | - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case |
|
|
303 | (patch by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
304 | - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. |
|
|
305 | - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and |
|
|
306 | an "[alpha]" prefix. |
|
|
307 | - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100% |
|
|
308 | transparent. Long Live Xft! |
|
|
309 | - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use |
|
|
310 | Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly. |
|
|
311 | - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails |
|
|
312 | on a pseudocolor screen. |
|
|
313 | - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. |
|
|
314 | - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). |
|
|
315 | - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer. |
|
|
316 | - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number. |
|
|
317 | - small configure updates. |
|
|
318 | - further RTT optimisations. |
|
|
319 | - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from |
|
|
320 | the debian package. |
|
|
321 | - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here, |
|
|
322 | but much newer than the old one. |
|
|
323 | |
|
|
324 | 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006 |
|
|
325 | - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling, |
|
|
326 | - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre. |
|
|
327 | - small configure updates for libptytty. |
|
|
328 | - fixed version options: line output. |
|
|
329 | - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code. |
|
|
330 | |
|
|
331 | 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006 |
|
|
332 | - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl |
|
|
333 | (could lead to global grabs never being cleared). |
|
|
334 | - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot). |
|
|
335 | - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2. |
|
|
336 | - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the |
|
|
337 | selection extension. |
|
|
338 | - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external |
|
|
339 | commands to fetch and store the selection data. |
|
|
340 | - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth |
|
|
341 | than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic). |
|
|
342 | - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences. |
|
|
343 | - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and |
|
|
344 | needs the careful rendering mode. |
|
|
345 | - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is |
|
|
346 | too wide and needs careful mode. |
|
|
347 | - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode. |
|
|
348 | - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous. |
|
|
349 | - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating |
|
|
350 | atoms only once per display. |
|
|
351 | - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command. |
|
|
352 | - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with |
|
|
353 | xterm. |
|
|
354 | |
|
|
355 | 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006 |
|
|
356 | - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple |
|
|
357 | environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within |
|
|
358 | getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once, |
|
|
359 | ctrl-shift-672c). |
|
|
360 | - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused |
|
|
361 | non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection. |
|
|
362 | - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to |
|
|
363 | the primary screen. |
|
|
364 | - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output |
|
|
365 | could lead to an assertion failure. |
|
|
366 | - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. |
|
|
367 | - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning |
|
|
368 | via mouse clicks. |
|
|
369 | - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection |
|
|
370 | with shift - mouse button 2. |
|
|
371 | - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates |
|
|
372 | in non-synthetic events. |
|
|
373 | - created a separate libpty for portable and secure |
|
|
374 | pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
375 | - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so |
|
|
376 | continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the |
|
|
377 | whole urxvt[d] process. |
|
|
378 | - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet). |
|
|
379 | - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc. |
|
|
380 | - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure. |
|
|
381 | - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. |
|
|
382 | |
|
|
383 | 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006 |
|
|
384 | - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been |
|
|
385 | improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process |
|
|
386 | and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This |
|
|
387 | makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code |
|
|
388 | and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with |
|
|
389 | special privileges. |
|
|
390 | - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid |
|
|
391 | itself. |
|
|
392 | - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get |
|
|
393 | the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap. |
|
|
394 | - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to |
|
|
395 | e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or |
|
|
396 | similar stuff. |
|
|
397 | - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't |
|
|
398 | span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps |
|
|
399 | for programs displaying a status line at the bottom. |
|
|
400 | - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. |
|
|
401 | - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection |
|
|
402 | code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases |
|
|
403 | :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. |
|
|
404 | - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now |
|
|
405 | being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. |
|
|
406 | - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus, |
|
|
407 | as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm). |
|
|
408 | - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD. |
|
|
409 | - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure |
|
|
410 | (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
411 | - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, |
|
|
412 | to set the window title. |
|
|
413 | - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes |
|
|
414 | some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables |
|
|
415 | at the wrong time. |
|
|
416 | - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support |
|
|
417 | anymore. |
|
|
418 | - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH. |
|
|
419 | - nuked QNX support. |
|
|
420 | - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code. |
|
|
421 | - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. |
|
|
422 | - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. |
|
|
423 | - iom extended to support listening for child exits. |
|
|
424 | |
|
|
425 | 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006 |
|
|
426 | - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about |
|
|
427 | SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. |
|
|
428 | - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and |
|
|
429 | option-popup extensions enabled by default. |
|
|
430 | - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect |
|
|
431 | will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. |
|
|
432 | - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support |
|
|
433 | and much much more. |
|
|
434 | - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. |
|
|
435 | - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. |
|
|
436 | - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. |
|
|
437 | - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. |
|
|
438 | - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started |
|
|
439 | setuid/setgid. |
|
|
440 | - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a |
|
|
441 | side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. |
|
|
442 | - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. |
|
|
443 | - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast. |
|
|
444 | - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic. |
|
|
445 | - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
446 | - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler. |
|
|
447 | - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really |
|
|
448 | compatible, and not really small either. |
|
|
449 | - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support. |
|
|
450 | - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file. |
|
|
451 | - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead |
|
|
452 | to crashes. |
|
|
453 | - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all |
|
|
454 | colours. |
|
|
455 | - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode. |
|
|
456 | - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering. |
|
|
457 | |
|
|
458 | 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006 |
|
|
459 | - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were |
|
|
460 | not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as |
|
|
461 | world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt, |
|
|
462 | too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only |
|
|
463 | systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not |
|
|
464 | GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley). |
|
|
465 | - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations. |
|
|
466 | restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported |
|
|
467 | by Mikachu). |
|
|
468 | - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more |
|
|
469 | intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback, |
|
|
470 | menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option, |
|
|
471 | perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet. |
|
|
472 | - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent. |
|
|
473 | Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now. |
|
|
474 | - fix directory permissions on install. |
|
|
475 | - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters |
|
|
476 | and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack). |
|
|
477 | - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless |
|
|
478 | (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended |
|
|
479 | periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here. |
