26 | 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006 |
|
|
27 | - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay, |
|
|
28 | thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most |
|
|
29 | circumstances (reported by exg). |
|
|
30 | - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the |
|
|
31 | basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope). |
|
|
32 | - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C. |
|
|
33 | - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions. |
|
|
34 | - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension. |
|
|
35 | - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope). |
|
|
36 | - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts. |
|
|
37 | - update to libptytty-1.0. |
|
|
38 | - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of |
|
|
39 | corrupting the stack (patch by exg). |
|
|
40 | - display current terminal locale in option menu. |
|
|
41 | - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible |
|
|
42 | working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo |
|
|
43 | bug #143985). |
|
|
44 | - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer. |
|
|
45 | - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that |
|
|
46 | should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless. |
|
|
47 | - manpage fix by exg. |
|
|
48 | |
|
|
49 | 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006 |
|
|
50 | - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl |
|
|
51 | + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348. |
|
|
52 | - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But |
|
|
53 | it does! :-> |
|
|
54 | - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer. |
|
|
55 | - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves). |
|
|
56 | |
|
|
57 | 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006 |
|
|
58 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults, |
|
|
59 | earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from |
|
|
60 | .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my |
|
|
61 | resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults |
|
|
62 | resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources. |
|
|
63 | - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake |
|
|
64 | terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl). |
|
|
65 | - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and |
|
|
66 | Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds). |
|
|
67 | - the "depth" resource is now respected. |
|
|
68 | - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search |
|
|
69 | to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an |
|
|
70 | uppercase character. |
|
|
71 | - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h. |
|
|
72 | - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on |
|
|
73 | a patch by Martin Stubenschrott. |
|
|
74 | - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues |
|
|
75 | when pixmap transparency was enabled. |
|
|
76 | - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to |
|
|
77 | match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin. |
|
|
78 | - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more |
|
|
79 | generic osc_seq. |
|
|
80 | - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks |
|
|
81 | were invoked recursively. |
|
|
82 | - the automove-background extension now properly works when the |
|
|
83 | pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek). |
|
|
84 | - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters. |
|
|
85 | - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg |
|
|
86 | (patch by Wu Fengguang). |
|
|
87 | - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there |
|
|
88 | (spotted by Decklin Foster). |
|
|
89 | - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported |
|
|
90 | by omatunto_. |
|
|
91 | - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't |
|
|
92 | follow C++ closely enough. |
|
|
93 | - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger. |
|
|
94 | - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang. |
|
|
95 | - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the |
|
|
96 | bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays. |
|
|
97 | |
|
|
98 | 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006 |
|
|
99 | - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware |
|
|
100 | combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense |
|
|
101 | of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author. |
|
|
102 | - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal |
|
|
103 | click, and eats the click. |
|
|
104 | - tabbed perl extension now supports -e. |
|
|
105 | - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any |
|
|
106 | refresh bugs please. |
|
|
107 | - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property |
|
|
108 | changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips, |
|
|
109 | improve size hint setting. |
|
|
110 | - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets |
|
|
111 | the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods |
|
|
112 | to correctly position their preedit window. |
|
|
113 | - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the |
|
|
114 | former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same |
|
|
115 | in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection), |
|
|
116 | so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where |
|
|
117 | selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours. |
|
|
118 | - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate |
|
|
119 | focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed. |
|
|
120 | - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting. |
|
|
121 | - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on |
|
|
122 | colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
123 | - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly |
|
|
124 | (reported by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
125 | - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be |
|
|
126 | working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt. |
|
|
127 | - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option. |
|
|
128 | |
|
|
129 | 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006 |
|
|
130 | - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. |
|
|
131 | - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the |
|
|
132 | resource value. |
|
|
133 | - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument. |
|
|
134 | - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th |
|
|
135 | relevant tab window. |
|
|
136 | - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults |
|
|
137 | (initial patch by hednod). |
|
|
138 | - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and |
|
|
139 | selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime. |
|
|
140 | - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for |
|
|
141 | the benefit of automove-background. |
|
|
142 | - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset. |
|
|
143 | - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect. |
|
|
144 | - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted. |
|
|
145 | - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on |
|
|
146 | __linux__. |
|
|
147 | - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering |
|
|
148 | the colour components. |
|
|
149 | - plain scrollbar works better with -sr. |
|
|
150 | - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look. |
|
|
151 | - more colour rtt optimisations. |
|
|
152 | - properly(?) free colours on window close. |
|
|
153 | - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections. |
|
|
154 | - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets. |
|
|
155 | - minor libptytty update. |
|
|
156 | |
|
|
157 | 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006 |
|
|
158 | - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width |
|
|
159 | detection: |
|
|
160 | - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated, |
|
|
161 | - overlap detection was improved. |
|
|
162 | - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft). |
|
|
163 | - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking, |
|
|
164 | causing unnecessary screen redraws. |
|
|
165 | - better handling of XFT combining characters. |
|
|
166 | - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they |
|
|
167 | might get used for other encodings which really need it, later. |
|
|
168 | - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally |
|
|
169 | weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft. |
|
|
170 | - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly |
|
|
171 | broken. |
|
|
172 | - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken. |
|
|
173 | - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to |
|
|
174 | reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation |
|
|
175 | of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft. |
|
|
176 | - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case |
|
|
177 | (patch by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
178 | - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. |
|
|
179 | - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and |
|
|
180 | an "[alpha]" prefix. |
|
|
181 | - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100% |
|
|
182 | transparent. Long Live Xft! |
|
|
183 | - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use |
|
|
184 | Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly. |
|
|
185 | - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails |
|
|
186 | on a pseudocolor screen. |
|
|
187 | - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. |
|
|
188 | - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). |
|
|
189 | - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer. |
|
|
190 | - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number. |
|
|
191 | - small configure updates. |
|
|
192 | - further RTT optimisations. |
|
|
193 | - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from |
|
|
194 | the debian package. |
|
|
195 | - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here, |
|
|
196 | but much newer than the old one. |
|
|
197 | |
|
|
198 | 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006 |
|
|
199 | - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling, |
|
|
200 | - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre. |
|
|
201 | - small configure updates for libptytty. |
|
|
202 | - fixed version options: line output. |
|
|
203 | - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code. |
|
|
204 | |
|
|
205 | 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006 |
|
|
206 | - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl |
|
|
207 | (could lead to global grabs never being cleared). |
|
|
208 | - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot). |
|
|
209 | - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2. |
|
|
210 | - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the |
|
|
211 | selection extension. |
|
|
212 | - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external |
|
|
213 | commands to fetch and store the selection data. |
|
|
214 | - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth |
|
|
215 | than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic). |
|
|
216 | - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences. |
|
|
217 | - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and |
|
|
218 | needs the careful rendering mode. |
|
|
219 | - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is |
|
|
220 | too wide and needs careful mode. |
|
|
221 | - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode. |
|
|
222 | - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous. |
|
|
223 | - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating |
|
|
224 | atoms only once per display. |
|
|
225 | - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command. |
|
|
226 | - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with |
|
|
227 | xterm. |
|
|
228 | |
|
|
229 | 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006 |
|
|
230 | - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple |
|
|
231 | environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within |
|
|
232 | getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once, |
|
|
233 | ctrl-shift-672c). |
|
|
234 | - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused |
|
|
235 | non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection. |
|
|
236 | - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to |
|
|
237 | the primary screen. |
|
|
238 | - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output |
|
|
239 | could lead to an assertion failure. |
|
|
240 | - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. |
|
|
241 | - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning |
|
|
242 | via mouse clicks. |
|
|
243 | - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection |
|
|
244 | with shift - mouse button 2. |
|
|
245 | - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates |
|
|
246 | in non-synthetic events. |
|
|
247 | - created a separate libpty for portable and secure |
|
|
248 | pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
249 | - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so |
|
|
250 | continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the |
|
|
251 | whole urxvt[d] process. |
|
|
252 | - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet). |
|
|
253 | - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc. |
|
|
254 | - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure. |
|
|
255 | - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. |
|
|
256 | |
|
