16 | 9.0 |
| 16 | - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably |
17 | - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't |
| 17 | most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty, |
18 | span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. |
| 18 | resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal. |
19 | - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes |
| 19 | Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley. |
20 | some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables |
|
|
21 | at the wrong time. |
|
|
22 | - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. |
|
|
23 | - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection |
|
|
24 | code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases |
|
|
25 | :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. |
|
|
26 | - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now |
|
|
27 | being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. |
|
|
28 | - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. |
|
|
29 | - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. |
|
|
30 | - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up |
|
|
31 | and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code. |
|
|
32 | . removed src/strings.C. |
|
|
33 | - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, |
|
|
34 | to set the window title. |
|
|
35 | |
|
|
36 | 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006 |
|
|
37 | - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about |
|
|
38 | SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. |
|
|
39 | - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and |
|
|
40 | option-popup extensions enabled by default. |
|
|
41 | - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect |
|
|
42 | will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. |
|
|
43 | - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support |
|
|
44 | and much much more. |
|
|
45 | - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. |
|
|
46 | - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. |
|
|
47 | - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. |
|
|
48 | - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. |
|
|
49 | - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started |
|
|
50 | setuid/setgid. |
|
|
51 | - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a |
|
|
52 | side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. |
|
|
53 | - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. |
|
|
54 | - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast. |
|
|
55 | - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic. |
|
|
56 | - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
57 | - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler. |
|
|
58 | - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really |
|
|
59 | compatible, and not really small either. |
|
|
60 | - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support. |
|
|
61 | - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file. |
|
|
62 | - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead |
|
|
63 | to crashes. |
|
|
64 | - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all |
|
|
65 | colours. |
|
|
66 | - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode. |
|
|
67 | - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering. |
|
|

69 | 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006 |
|
|
70 | - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were |
|
|
71 | not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as |
|
|
72 | world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt, |
|
|
73 | too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only |
|
|
74 | systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not |
|
|
75 | GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley). |
|
|
76 | - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations. |
|
|
77 | restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported |
|
|
78 | by Mikachu). |
|
|
79 | - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more |
|
|
80 | intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback, |
|
|
81 | menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option, |
|
|
82 | perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet. |
|
|
83 | - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent. |
|
|
84 | Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now. |
|
|
85 | - fix directory permissions on install. |
|
|
86 | - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters |
|
|
87 | and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack). |
|
|
88 | - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless |
|
|
89 | (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended |
|
|
90 | periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here. |
