3TODO: move pty/tty handling into a fork'ed server and drop all privs 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
5TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
6TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
7TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14WISH: skipscroll option
15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
8TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 19WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
9TODO: clarify and get rid of SMOOTH_REFRESH etc. 20WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay...
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
12WISH: support tex fonts 21DUMB: support tex fonts
13 22
147.0 23TODO: fix rounding of colors when !xft (#aaaaaa => #a9a900) (do not use correct, but expected value)
15TODO: run external commands more sytematically (using $self->env etc.) 24 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
16TODO: document searchable-scorllback hotkey 25 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
17TODO: double-click and right-extend 26 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
27 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
28 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
29 (found by Aiviru).
30 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
31 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
32 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
33 case to work around for :/
34 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
35 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
36 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
37 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
38 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
39 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
40 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
41 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
42 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
43 Paskevich).
44
458.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
46 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
47 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
48 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
49 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
50 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
51 Reported by Takano Akio.
52 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
53 reported by exg.
54 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
55 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
56 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
57 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
58
598.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
60 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
61 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
62 circumstances (reported by exg).
63 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
64 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
65 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
66 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
67 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
68 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
69 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
70 - update to libptytty-1.0.
71 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
72 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
73 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
74 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
75 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
76 bug #143985).
77 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
78 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
79 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
80 - manpage fix by exg.
81
827.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
83 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
84 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
85 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
86 it does! :->
87 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
88 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
89
907.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
91 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
92 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
93 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
94 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
95 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
96 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
97 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
98 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
99 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
100 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
101 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
102 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
103 uppercase character.
104 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
105 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
106 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
107 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
108 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
109 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
110 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
111 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
112 generic osc_seq.
113 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
114 were invoked recursively.
115 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
116 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
117 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
118 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
119 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
120 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
121 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
122 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
123 by omatunto_.
124 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
125 follow C++ closely enough.
126 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
127 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
128 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
129 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
130
1317.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
132 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
133 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
134 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
135 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
136 click, and eats the click.
137 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
138 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
139 refresh bugs please.
140 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
141 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
142 improve size hint setting.
143 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
144 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
145 to correctly position their preedit window.
146 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
147 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
148 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
149 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
150 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
151 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
152 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
153 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
154 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
155 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
156 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
157 (reported by Paco-Paco).
158 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
159 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
160 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
161
1627.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
163 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
164 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
165 resource value.
166 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
167 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
168 relevant tab window.
169 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
170 (initial patch by hednod).
171 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
172 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
173 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
174 the benefit of automove-background.
175 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
176 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
177 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
178 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
179 __linux__.
180 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
181 the colour components.
182 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
183 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
184 - more colour rtt optimisations.
185 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
186 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
187 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
188 - minor libptytty update.
189
1907.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
191 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
192 detection:
193 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
194 - overlap detection was improved.
195 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
196 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
197 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
198 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
199 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
200 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
201 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
202 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
203 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
204 broken.
205 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
206 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
207 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
208 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
209 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
210 (patch by Paco-Paco).
211 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
212 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
213 an "[alpha]" prefix.
214 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
215 transparent. Long Live Xft!
216 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
217 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
218 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
219 on a pseudocolor screen.
220 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
221 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
222 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
223 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
224 - small configure updates.
225 - further RTT optimisations.
226 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
227 the debian package.
228 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
229 but much newer than the old one.
230
2317.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
232 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
233 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
234 - small configure updates for libptytty.
235 - fixed version options: line output.
236 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
237
2387.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
239 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
240 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
241 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
242 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
243 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
244 selection extension.
245 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
246 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
247 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
248 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
249 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
250 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
251 needs the careful rendering mode.
252 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
253 too wide and needs careful mode.
254 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
255 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
256 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
257 atoms only once per display.
258 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
259 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
260 xterm.
261
2627.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
263 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
264 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
265 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
266 ctrl-shift-672c).
267 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
268 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
269 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
270 the primary screen.
271 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
272 could lead to an assertion failure.
273 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
274 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
275 via mouse clicks.
276 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
277 with shift - mouse button 2.
278 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
279 in non-synthetic events.
280 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
281 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
282 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
283 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
284 whole urxvt[d] process.
285 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
286 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
287 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
288 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
289
2907.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
291 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
292 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
293 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
294 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
295 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
296 special privileges.
297 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
298 itself.
299 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
300 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
301 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
302 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
303 similar stuff.
304 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
305 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
306 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
307 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
308 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
309 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
310 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
311 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
312 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
313 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
314 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
315 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
316 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
317 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
318 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
319 to set the window title.
320 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
321 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
322 at the wrong time.
323 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
324 anymore.
325 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
326 - nuked QNX support.
327 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
328 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
329 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
330 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
331
3327.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
18 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about 333 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
19 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. 334 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
20 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and 335 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
