149.0
15TODO: distributed clipboard example
16 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD
17 - new script: perl/selection-pastebin
18 - improved security of setuid/setgid operation, which is now
19 encouraged, by moving privileged operations into a separate
20 process and permanently dropping privileges within the
21 terminal. This makes it possible to remove security checks from
22 the perl code and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to
23 run with special privileges.
24 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
25 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
26 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
27 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
28 at the wrong time.
29 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
30 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
31 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
32 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
33 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
34 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
35 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
36 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
37 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
38 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
40 anymore.
41 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
42 to set the window title.
43 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
44 - nuked QNX support.
45
467.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
47 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
48 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
49 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
50 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
51 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
52 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
53 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
54 and much much more.
55 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
56 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
57 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
58 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
59 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
60 setuid/setgid.
61 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
62 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
63 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
64 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
65 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
66 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
67 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
68 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
69 compatible, and not really small either.
70 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
71 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
72 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
73 to crashes.
74 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
75 colours.
76 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
77 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
78
796.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
80 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
81 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
82 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
83 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
84 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
85 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
86 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
87 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
88 by Mikachu).
89 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
90 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
91 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
92 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
93 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
94 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
95 - fix directory permissions on install.
96 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
97 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
98 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
99 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
100 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
101
1026.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
103 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
104 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
105 Chuck Blake.
106 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
107 obscure the mouse cursor position.
108 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
109 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
110 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
111 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
112 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
113 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
114 transfer efficiency.
115 - further minor cleanups.
116
1176.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
118 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
119 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
120 while the user still drags.
121 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
122 not drawn correctly.
123 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
124 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
125 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
126 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
127 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
128 stripping whitespace.
129 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
130 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
131
1326.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
133 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
134 - enable slow link support by default.
135 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
136 (also a bug in original rxvt).
137 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
138 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
139 partial patch).
140 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
141 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
142 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
143 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
144 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
145 - implement -hold option.
146 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
147 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
148 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
149 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
150 - slight overall speed improvements.
151 - considerably improved code clarity.
152 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
153 buffer.
154
1555.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
156 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
157 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
158 (matters only for rxvtd).
159 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
160 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
161 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
162
1635.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
164 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
165 If you want the old behaviour, try:
166 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
167 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
168 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
169 percentage by 100-percentage.
170 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
171 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
172 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
173 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
174 windows.
175 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
176 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
177 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
178 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
179 - replaced INSTALL file.
180
1815.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
182 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
183 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
184 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
185 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
186 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
187 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
188 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
189 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
190
1915.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
192 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
193 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
194 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
195 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
196 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
197 Affects display in iso14755 box.
198 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
199 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
200 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
201 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
202 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
203 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
204 cutting pieces off of characters.
205 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
206 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
207 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
208 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
209 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
210 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
211 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
212
2135.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
214 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
215 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
216 meaning of the given key.
217 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
218 (patch by Martin Edlman).
219
2205.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
221 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
222 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
223 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
224 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
225 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
226 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
227 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
228 to disable it.
229
2305.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
231 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
232 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
233 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
234 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
235 with modifiers.
236 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
237 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
238 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
239 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
240 and clear the scrollback buffer.
241
2425.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
243 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
244 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
245 a command.
246 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
247 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
248 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
249 in Perl/Gtk2.
250 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
251 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
252 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
253 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
254 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
255 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
256 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
257 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
258 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
259 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
260 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
261 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
262 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
263 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
264 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
265 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
266 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
267 rxvt-unicode).
268 - get rid of the intpro files.
269
2705.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
271 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
272 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
273 (Kuang-che Wu).
274 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
275 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
276 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
277 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
278 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
279 along with other, similar, cleanups.
280 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
281 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
282 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
283 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
284 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
285 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
286
2875.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
288 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
289 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
290 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
291 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
292 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
293 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
294 his patience and time in tracking this down).
295 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
296 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
297 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
298 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
299 by Joël Riou).
300 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
301 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
302 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
303 - shaved off some code segment size.
304 - various code cleanups.
305 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
306
3074.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
308 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
309 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
310 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
311 -pixmap is active.
312 - new option/resource imFont.
313 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
314 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
315 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
316 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
317 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
318 (WU Fengguang).
319 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
320 examples (rxvt.1).
321 - removed src/test completely.
322 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
323
3244.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
325 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
326 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
327 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
328 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
329 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
330 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
331 resulting in segfaults.
332 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
333 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
334 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
335 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
336 (Mikael Magnusson).
337 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
338 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
339 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
340 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
341 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
342 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
343 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
344 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
345 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
346 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
347 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
348 - initialize the locale much earlier.
349 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
350
3514.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
352 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
353 black on initial startup.
354 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
355 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
356 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
357 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
358 additional multimedia keys.
359 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
360 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
361
3624.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
