13
14 - perl: implement additional hook: line_update, add_lines.
15 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
16
176.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
18 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
19 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
20 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
21 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
22 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
23 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
24 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
25 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
26 by Mikachu).
27 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
28 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
29 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
30 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
31 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
32 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
33 - fix directory permissions on install.
34 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
35 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
36 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
37 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
38 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
39
406.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
41 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
42 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
43 Chuck Blake.
44 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
45 obscure the mouse cursor position.
46 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
47 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
48 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
49 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
50 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
51 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
52 transfer efficiency.
53 - further minor cleanups.
54
556.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
56 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
57 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
58 while the user still drags.
59 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
60 not drawn correctly.
61 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
62 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
63 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
64 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
65 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
66 stripping whitespace.
67 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
68 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
69
706.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
71 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
72 - enable slow link support by default.
73 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
74 (also a bug in original rxvt).
75 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
76 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
77 partial patch).
78 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
79 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
80 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
81 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
82 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
83 - implement -hold option.
84 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
85 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
86 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
87 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
88 - slight overall speed improvements.
89 - considerably improved code clarity.
90 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
91 buffer.

19 (matters only for rxvtd). 96 (matters only for rxvtd).
97 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
98 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
99 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
