WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. +WISH: support tex fonts +9.0 +TODO: remove ||1 in main.C +TODO: on_seelction_popup hook or so. + - new script: perl/selection-pastebin + - improved security of setuid/setgid operation, which is now + encouraged, by moving privileged operations into a separate + process and permanently dropping privileges within the + terminal. 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. + - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't + span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. + - 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. + - 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. + - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. + - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. + - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure + (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support + anymore. + - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, + to set the window title. + - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH. + - nuked QNX support. + +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.
