5TODO: try to compensate for backwards-time-changes in iom.C (no way to do that for forward-time-changes, or reliably for long timeouts). 7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences.

12WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
10WISH: support tex fonts
14 11
155.1 12 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
13 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
14 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
15 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
16 - selection, selection-popup and option-popup extensions
17 enabled by default.
18 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
19 and much much more.
20 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
21 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
22 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
23 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
24 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
25 setuid/setgid.
26 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
27 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
28 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
29
306.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
31 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
32 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
33 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
34 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
35 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
36 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
37 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
38 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
39 by Mikachu).
40 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
41 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
42 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
43 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
44 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
45 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
46 - fix directory permissions on install.
47 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
48 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
49 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
50 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
51 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
52
536.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
54 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
55 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
56 Chuck Blake.
57 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
58 obscure the mouse cursor position.
59 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
60 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
61 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
62 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
63 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
64 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
65 transfer efficiency.
66 - further minor cleanups.
67
686.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
69 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
70 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
71 while the user still drags.
72 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
73 not drawn correctly.
74 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
75 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
76 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
77 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
78 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
79 stripping whitespace.
80 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
81 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
82
836.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
84 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
85 - enable slow link support by default.
86 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
87 (also a bug in original rxvt).
88 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
89 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
90 partial patch).
91 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
92 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
93 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
94 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
95 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
96 - implement -hold option.
97 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
98 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
99 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
100 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
101 - slight overall speed improvements.
102 - considerably improved code clarity.
103 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
104 buffer.
105
1065.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
107 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
108 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
109 (matters only for rxvtd).
110 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
111 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
112 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
113
1145.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
115 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
116 If you want the old behaviour, try:
117 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
118 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
119 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
120 percentage by 100-percentage.
121 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
122 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
123 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
124 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
125 windows.
126 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
127 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
128 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
129 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
130 - replaced INSTALL file.
131
1325.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
133 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
134 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
135 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
136 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
137 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
138 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
139 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
140 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
141
1425.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
143 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
144 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
145 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
146 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
147 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
148 Affects display in iso14755 box.
149 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
150 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
151 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
152 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
153 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
154 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
155 cutting pieces off of characters.
156 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
157 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
158 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
159 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
160 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
161 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
162 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
163
1645.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
165 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
166 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
167 meaning of the given key.
168 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
169 (patch by Martin Edlman).
170
1715.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
172 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
173 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
174 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
175 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
176 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
177 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
178 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
179 to disable it.
180
1815.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
182 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
183 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
184 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
185 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
186 with modifiers.
187 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
188 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
189 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
190 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
191 and clear the scrollback buffer.
192
1935.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
194 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
195 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
196 a command.
197 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
198 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
199 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
200 in Perl/Gtk2.
201 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
202 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
203 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
204 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
205 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
206 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
207 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
208 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
209 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
210 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
211 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
212 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
213 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
214 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
215 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
216 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
217 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
218 rxvt-unicode).
219 - get rid of the intpro files.

233 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
234 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
235 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
236 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
