13 | |
| 12 | TODO: urxvt::popup is undocumented |
14 | - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width |
|
|
15 | detection: |
|
|
16 | - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated, |
|
|
17 | - overlap detection was improved. |
|
|
18 | - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft). |
|
|
19 | - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking, |
|
|
20 | causing unnecessary screen redraws. |
|
|
21 | - better handling of XFT combining characters. |
|
|
22 | - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they |
|
|
23 | might get used for other encodings which really need it, later. |
|
|
24 | - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally |
|
|
25 | weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft. |
|
|
26 | - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly |
|
|
27 | broken. |
|
|
28 | - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken. |
|
|
29 | - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to |
|
|
30 | reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation |
|
|
31 | of rgb:rr/gg/bb. |
|
|
32 | - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. |
|
|
33 | - support rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa, #argb, #aarrggbb and |
|
|
34 | #aaaarrrrggggbbbb (yes, it did hurt) colour "names". |
|
|
35 | - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100% |
|
|
36 | transparent. Long Live Xft! |
|
|
37 | - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use |
|
|
38 | Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly. |
|
|
39 | - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. |
|
|
40 | - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). |
|
|
41 | - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer. |
|
|
42 | - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number. |
|
|
43 | - small configure updates. |
|
|
44 | - further RTT optimisations. |
|
|
45 | |
|
|
46 | 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006 |
|
|
47 | - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling, |
|
|
48 | - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre. |
|
|
49 | - small configure updates for libptytty. |
|
|
50 | - fixed version options: line output. |
|
|
51 | - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code. |
|
|
52 | |
|
|
53 | 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006 |
|
|
54 | - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl |
|
|
55 | (could lead to global grabs never being cleared). |
|
|
56 | - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot). |
|
|
57 | - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2. |
|
|
58 | - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the |
|
|
59 | selection extension. |
|
|
60 | - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external |
|
|
61 | commands to fetch and store the selection data. |
|
|
62 | - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth |
|
|
63 | than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic). |
|
|
64 | - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences. |
|
|
65 | - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and |
|
|
66 | needs the careful rendering mode. |
|
|
67 | - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is |
|
|
68 | too wide and needs careful mode. |
|
|
69 | - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode. |
|
|
70 | - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous. |
|
|
71 | - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating |
|
|
72 | atoms only once per display. |
|
|
73 | - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command. |
|
|
74 | - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with |
|
|
75 | xterm. |
|
|

|
77 | 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006 |
|
|
78 | - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple |
|
|
79 | environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within |
|
|
80 | getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once, |
|
|
81 | ctrl-shift-672c). |
|
|
82 | - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused |
|
|
83 | non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection. |
|
|
84 | - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to |
|
|
85 | the primary screen. |
|
|
86 | - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output |
|
|
87 | could lead to an assertion failure. |
|
|
88 | - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. |
|
|
89 | - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning |
|
|
90 | via mouse clicks. |
|
|
91 | - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection |
|
|
92 | with shift - mouse button 2. |
|
|
93 | - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates |
|
|
94 | in non-synthetic events. |
|
|
95 | - created a separate libpty for portable and secure |
|
|
96 | pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
97 | - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so |
|
|
98 | continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the |
|
|
99 | whole urxvt[d] process. |
|
|
100 | - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet). |
|
|
101 | - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc. |
|
|
102 | - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure. |
|
|
103 | - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. |
|
|
104 | |
|
|
105 | 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006 |
|
|
106 | - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been |
|
|
107 | improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process |
|
|
108 | and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This |
|
|
109 | makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code |
|
|
110 | and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with |
|
|
111 | special privileges. |
|
|
112 | - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid |
|
|
113 | itself. |
|
|
114 | - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get |
|
|
115 | the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap. |
|
|
116 | - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to |
|
|
117 | e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or |
|
|
118 | similar stuff. |
|
|
119 | - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't |
|
|
120 | span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps |
|
|
121 | for programs displaying a status line at the bottom. |
|
|
122 | - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. |
|
|
123 | - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection |
|
|
124 | code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases |
|
|
125 | :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. |
|
|
126 | - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now |
|
|
127 | being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. |
|
|
128 | - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus, |
|
|
129 | as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm). |
|
|
130 | - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD. |
|
|
131 | - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure |
|
|
132 | (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
133 | - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, |
|
|
134 | to set the window title. |
|
|
135 | - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes |
|
|
136 | some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables |
|
|
137 | at the wrong time. |
|
|
138 | - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support |
|
|
139 | anymore. |
|
|
140 | - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH. |
|
|
141 | - nuked QNX support. |
|
|
142 | - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code. |
|
|
143 | - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. |
|
|
144 | - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. |
|
|
145 | - iom extended to support listening for child exits. |
|
|
