22 | 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006 |
|
|
23 | - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple |
|
|
24 | environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within |
|
|
25 | getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once, |
|
|
26 | ctrl-shift-672c). |
|
|
27 | - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused |
|
|
28 | non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection. |
|
|
29 | - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to |
|
|
30 | the primary screen. |
|
|
31 | - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output |
|
|
32 | could lead to an assertion failure. |
|
|
33 | - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. |
|
|
34 | - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning |
|
|
35 | via mouse clicks. |
|
|
36 | - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection |
|
|
37 | with shift - mouse button 2. |
|
|
38 | - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates |
|
|
39 | in non-synthetic events. |
|
|
40 | - created a separate libpty for portable and secure |
|
|
41 | pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
42 | - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so |
|
|
43 | continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the |
|
|
44 | whole urxvt[d] process. |
|
|
45 | - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet). |
|
|
46 | - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc. |
|
|
47 | - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure. |
|
|
48 | - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. |
|
|
49 | |
|
|
50 | 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006 |
|
|
51 | - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been |
|
|
52 | improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process |
|
|
53 | and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This |
|
|
54 | makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code |
|
|
55 | and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with |
|
|
56 | special privileges. |
|
|
57 | - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid |
|
|
58 | itself. |
|
|
59 | - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get |
|
|
60 | the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap. |
|
|
61 | - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to |
|
|
62 | e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or |
|
|
63 | similar stuff. |
|
|
64 | - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't |
|
|
65 | span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps |
|
|
66 | for programs displaying a status line at the bottom. |
|
|
67 | - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. |
|
|
68 | - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection |
|
|
69 | code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases |
|
|
70 | :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. |
|
|
71 | - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now |
|
|
72 | being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. |
|
|
73 | - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus, |
|
|
74 | as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm). |
|
|
75 | - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD. |
|
|
76 | - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure |
|
|
77 | (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
78 | - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, |
|
|
79 | to set the window title. |
|
|
80 | - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes |
|
|
81 | some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables |
|
|
82 | at the wrong time. |
|
|
83 | - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support |
|
|
84 | anymore. |
|
|
85 | - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH. |
|
|
86 | - nuked QNX support. |
|
|
87 | - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code. |
|
|
88 | - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. |
|
|
89 | - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. |
|
|
90 | - iom extended to support listening for child exits. |
|
|
91 | |
|
|
92 | 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006 |
|
|
93 | - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about |
|
|
94 | SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. |
|
|
95 | - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and |
|
|
96 | option-popup extensions enabled by default. |
|
|
97 | - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect |
|
|
98 | will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. |
|
|
99 | - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support |
|
|
100 | and much much more. |
|
|
101 | - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. |
|
|
102 | - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. |
|
|
103 | - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. |
|
|
104 | - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. |
|
|
105 | - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started |
|
|
106 | setuid/setgid. |
|
|
107 | - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a |
|
|
108 | side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. |
|
|
109 | - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. |
|
|
110 | - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast. |
|
|
111 | - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic. |
|
|
112 | - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
113 | - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler. |
|
|
114 | - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really |
|
|
115 | compatible, and not really small either. |
|
|
116 | - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support. |
|
|
117 | - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file. |
|
|
118 | - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead |
|
|
119 | to crashes. |
|
|
120 | - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all |
|
|
121 | colours. |
|
|
122 | - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode. |
|
|
123 | - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering. |
|
|
124 | |

|
139 | - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent. |
|

140 | Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now. |
| 23 | - fix directory permissions on install. |
141 | - fix directory permissions on install. |
| 24 | - improved sched_yield support. |
142 | - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters |
|
|
143 | and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack). |
|
|
144 | - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless |
|
|
145 | (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended |
|
|
146 | periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here. |
