12 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
13 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
14 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
15 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
16 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
17 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
18 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
19 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
20 by Mikachu).
21 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
22 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
23 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
24 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
25 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
26 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
27 - fix directory permissions on install.
28 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
29 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
30 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
31 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
32 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
33
346.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
35 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
36 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
37 Chuck Blake.
38 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
39 obscure the mouse cursor position.
40 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
41 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
42 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
43 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
44 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
45 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
46 transfer efficiency.
47 - further minor cleanups.
48
496.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
50 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
51 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
52 while the user still drags.
53 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
54 not drawn correctly.
55 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
56 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
57 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
58 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
59 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
60 stripping whitespace.
61 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
62 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
63
646.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
65 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
66 - enable slow link support by default.
67 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
68 (also a bug in original rxvt).
69 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
70 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
71 partial patch).
72 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
73 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
74 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
75 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
76 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
77 - implement -hold option.
78 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
79 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
80 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
81 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
82 - slight overall speed improvements.
83 - considerably improved code clarity.
84 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
85 buffer.
86
875.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
88 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
89 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
90 (matters only for rxvtd).
91 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
92 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
93 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
