5TODO: configurable underline line colour. 3TODO: move pty/tty handling into a fork'ed server and drop all privs
4TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
5TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
6TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 7TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7FEAT: hotkey font resizing 8TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
8FEAT: searchable backlog 9TODO: clarify and get rid of SMOOTH_REFRESH etc.
9FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay...
10FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
11FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 12WISH: support tex fonts
12FEAT: OnTheSpot editing.
13FEAT: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
14 13
149.0
15 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
16 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
17 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
18 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
19 at the wrong time.
20 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
21 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
22 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
23 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
24 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
25 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
26 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
27 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
28 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up
29 and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code.
30 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
31 to set the window title.
32
337.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
34 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
35 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
36 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
37 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
38 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
39 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
40 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
41 and much much more.
42 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
43 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
44 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
45 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
46 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
47 setuid/setgid.
48 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
49 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
50 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
51 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
52 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
53 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
54 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
55 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
56 compatible, and not really small either.
57 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
58 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
59 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
60 to crashes.
61 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
62 colours.
63 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
64 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
65
666.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
67 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
68 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
69 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
70 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
71 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
72 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
73 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
74 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
75 by Mikachu).
76 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
77 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
78 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
79 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
80 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
81 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
82 - fix directory permissions on install.
83 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
84 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
85 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
86 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
87 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
88
896.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
90 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
91 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
92 Chuck Blake.
93 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
94 obscure the mouse cursor position.
95 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
96 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
97 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
98 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
99 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
100 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
101 transfer efficiency.
102 - further minor cleanups.
103
1046.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
105 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
106 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
107 while the user still drags.
108 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
109 not drawn correctly.
110 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
111 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
112 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
113 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
114 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
115 stripping whitespace.
116 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
117 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
118
1196.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
120 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
121 - enable slow link support by default.
122 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
123 (also a bug in original rxvt).
124 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
125 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
126 partial patch).
127 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
128 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
129 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
130 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
131 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
132 - implement -hold option.
133 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
134 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
135 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
136 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
137 - slight overall speed improvements.
138 - considerably improved code clarity.
139 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
140 buffer.
141
1425.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
143 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
144 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
145 (matters only for rxvtd).
146 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
147 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
148 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
149
1505.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
151 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
152 If you want the old behaviour, try:
153 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
154 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
155 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
156 percentage by 100-percentage.
157 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
158 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
159 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
160 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
161 windows.
162 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
163 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
164 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
165 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
166 - replaced INSTALL file.
167
1685.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
169 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
170 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
171 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
172 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
173 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
174 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
175 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
176 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
177
1785.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
179 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
180 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
181 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
182 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
183 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
184 Affects display in iso14755 box.
185 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
186 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
187 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
188 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
189 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
190 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
191 cutting pieces off of characters.
192 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
193 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
194 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
195 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
196 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
197 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
198 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
199
2005.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
201 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
202 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
203 meaning of the given key.
204 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
205 (patch by Martin Edlman).
206
2075.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
208 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
209 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
210 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
211 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
212 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
213 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
214 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
215 to disable it.
216
2175.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
218 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
219 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
220 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
221 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
222 with modifiers.
223 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
224 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
225 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
226 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
227 and clear the scrollback buffer.
228
2295.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
230 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
231 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
232 a command.
233 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
234 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
235 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
236 in Perl/Gtk2.
237 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
238 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
239 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
240 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
241 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
242 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
243 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
244 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
245 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
246 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
247 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
248 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
249 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
250 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
251 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
252 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
253 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
254 rxvt-unicode).
255 - get rid of the intpro files.
256
2575.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
258 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
259 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
260 (Kuang-che Wu).
261 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
262 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
263 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
264 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
265 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
266 along with other, similar, cleanups.
267 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
268 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
269 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
270 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
271 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
272 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
273
2745.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
275 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
276 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
277 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
278 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
279 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
280 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
281 his patience and time in tracking this down).
282 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
283 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
284 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
285 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
286 by Joël Riou).
287 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
288 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
289 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
290 - shaved off some code segment size.
291 - various code cleanups.
292 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
293
2944.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
295 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
296 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
297 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
298 -pixmap is active.
299 - new option/resource imFont.
300 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
301 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
302 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
303 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
304 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
305 (WU Fengguang).
306 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
307 examples (rxvt.1).
308 - removed src/test completely.
309 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
310
3114.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
312 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
313 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
314 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
315 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
316 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
317 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
318 resulting in segfaults.
319 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
320 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
321 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
322 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
323 (Mikael Magnusson).
324 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
325 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
326 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
327 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
328 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
329 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
330 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
331 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
332 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
333 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
334 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
335 - initialize the locale much earlier.
336 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
337
3384.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
339 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
340 black on initial startup.
341 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
342 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
343 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
344 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
345 additional multimedia keys.
346 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
347 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
348
3494.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004

21 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement. 354 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
355 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
356 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
357 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
358 ignored.
22 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID 359 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
