2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3xfree86's xterm).
4 2
5TODO: hotkey font resizing 3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
6TODO: +ssc -ssr seems to scroll at wrong time, scrolling up the empty sec. scr. 4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
7TODO: multibyte support for setwmname et al. 5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
8TODO: tabbed windows 6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9TODO: there are other todo items, but they are not in this file. 7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
10TODO: OnTheSpot editing. 8TODO: clarify and get rid of SMOOTH_REFRESH etc.
11TODO: searchable backlog 9WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay...
12TODO: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 10WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
13TODO: triple-click == select full output line 11WISH: support tex fonts
14TODO: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 12
137.0
14TODO: run external commands more sytematically (using $self->env etc.)
15TODO: document searchable-scorllback hotkey
16 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
17 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
18 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
19 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
20 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
21 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
22 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
23 and much much more.
24 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
25 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
26 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
27 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
28 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
29 setuid/setgid.
30 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
31 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
32 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
33 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
34 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
35 - applied better configure support for openpty by Emanuele Giaquinta.
36 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
37 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
38 compatible, and not really small either.
39 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
40 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
41 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
42 to crashes.
43 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
44
456.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
46 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
47 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
48 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
49 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
50 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
51 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
52 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
53 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
54 by Mikachu).
55 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
56 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
57 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
58 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
59 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
60 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
61 - fix directory permissions on install.
62 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
63 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
64 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
65 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
66 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
67
686.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
69 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
70 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
71 Chuck Blake.
72 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
73 obscure the mouse cursor position.
74 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
75 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
76 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
77 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
78 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
79 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
80 transfer efficiency.
81 - further minor cleanups.
82
836.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
84 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
85 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
86 while the user still drags.
87 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
88 not drawn correctly.
89 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
90 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
91 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
92 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
93 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
94 stripping whitespace.
95 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
96 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
97
986.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
99 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
100 - enable slow link support by default.
101 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
102 (also a bug in original rxvt).
103 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
104 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
105 partial patch).
106 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
107 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
108 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
109 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
110 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
111 - implement -hold option.
112 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
113 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
114 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
115 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
116 - slight overall speed improvements.
117 - considerably improved code clarity.
118 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
119 buffer.
120
1215.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
122 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
123 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
124 (matters only for rxvtd).
125 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
126 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
127 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
128
1295.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
130 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
131 If you want the old behaviour, try:
132 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
133 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
134 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
135 percentage by 100-percentage.
136 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
137 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
138 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
139 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
140 windows.
141 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
142 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
143 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
144 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
145 - replaced INSTALL file.
146
1475.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
148 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
149 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
150 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
151 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
152 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
153 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
154 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
155 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
156
1575.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
158 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
159 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
160 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
161 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
162 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
163 Affects display in iso14755 box.
164 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
165 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
166 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
167 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
168 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
169 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
170 cutting pieces off of characters.
171 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
172 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
173 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
174 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
175 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
176 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
177 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
178
1795.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
180 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
181 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
182 meaning of the given key.
183 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
184 (patch by Martin Edlman).
185
1865.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
187 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
188 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
189 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
190 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
191 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
192 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
193 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
194 to disable it.
195
1965.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
197 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
198 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
199 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
200 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
201 with modifiers.
202 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
203 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
204 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
205 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
206 and clear the scrollback buffer.
207
2085.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
209 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
210 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
211 a command.
212 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
213 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
214 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
215 in Perl/Gtk2.
216 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
217 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
218 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
219 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
220 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
221 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
222 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
223 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
224 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
225 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
226 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
227 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
228 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
229 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
230 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
231 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
232 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
233 rxvt-unicode).
234 - get rid of the intpro files.
235
2365.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
237 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
238 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
239 (Kuang-che Wu).
240 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
241 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
242 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
243 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
244 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
245 along with other, similar, cleanups.
246 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
247 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
248 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
249 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
250 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
251 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
252
2535.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
254 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
255 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
256 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
257 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
258 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
259 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
260 his patience and time in tracking this down).
261 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
262 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
263 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
264 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
265 by Joël Riou).
266 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
267 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
268 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
269 - shaved off some code segment size.
270 - various code cleanups.
271 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
272
2734.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
274 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
275 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
276 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
277 -pixmap is active.
278 - new option/resource imFont.
279 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
280 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
281 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
282 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
283 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
284 (WU Fengguang).
285 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
286 examples (rxvt.1).
287 - removed src/test completely.
288 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
289
2904.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
291 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
292 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
293 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
294 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
295 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
296 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
297 resulting in segfaults.
298 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
299 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
300 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
301 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
302 (Mikael Magnusson).
303 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
304 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
305 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
306 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
307 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
308 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
309 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
310 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
311 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
312 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
313 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
314 - initialize the locale much earlier.
315 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
316
3174.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
318 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
319 black on initial startup.
320 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
321 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
322 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
323 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
324 additional multimedia keys.
325 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
326 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
327
3284.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
329 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
330 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
331 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
332 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
333 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
334 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
335 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
336 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
337 ignored.
338 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
339 instead.
340 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
341 (reported by hednod).
342 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
343 - fix atom name enumeration.
344
3454.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
346 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
347 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
348 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
349 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
350 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
351
3524.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
353 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
354 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
355 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
356 titles etc.
357 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
358 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
359 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
360 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
361 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
362 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
363 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
364 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
365 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
366 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
367 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
368 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
369 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
370 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
371
3724.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
373 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
374 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
375 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
376 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
377 thoroughly.
378 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
379 now, too.
