1Lines marked with "xterm:" indicate either xterm features ported to rxvt 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3xfree86's xterm).
4 2
3TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
4TODO: simplify selection_request and make it callable from perl.
5TODO: split perl documnetation and urxvt.pm into separate files
6TODO: nuke rxvt_privaction and related garbage
7TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
8TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
9TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 10TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6TODO: shift-tab etc. xterm keycodes 11TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
7WISH: extend keysym resource mechanism to include modifiers. 12TODO: rxvt -name urxvt-girly /// leave pixel droppings
13TODO: distributed clipboard example
14WISH: perl extension for background image loading and moving the origin.
15WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay...
8WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 16WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
9WISH: hotkey font resizing 17WISH: support tex fonts
10WISH: searchable backlog 18
11WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 197.2
12WISH: triple-click == select full output line 20 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
13WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 21
14WISH: OnTheSpot editing. 227.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
15WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 23 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
24 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
25 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
26 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
27 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
28 special privileges.
29 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
30 itself.
31 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
32 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
33 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
34 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
35 similar stuff.
36 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
37 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
38 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
39 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
40 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
41 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
42 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
43 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
44 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
45 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
46 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
47 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
48 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
49 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
51 to set the window title.
52 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
53 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
54 at the wrong time.
55 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
56 anymore.
57 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
58 - nuked QNX support.
59 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
60 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
61 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
62 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
63
647.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
65 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
66 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
67 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
68 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
69 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
70 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
71 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
72 and much much more.
73 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
74 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
75 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
76 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
77 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
78 setuid/setgid.
79 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
80 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
81 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
82 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
83 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
84 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
85 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
86 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
87 compatible, and not really small either.
88 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
89 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
90 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
91 to crashes.
92 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
93 colours.
94 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
95 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
96
976.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
98 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
99 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
100 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
101 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
102 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
103 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
104 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
105 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
106 by Mikachu).
107 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
108 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
109 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
110 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
111 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
112 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
113 - fix directory permissions on install.
114 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
115 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
116 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
117 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
118 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
119
1206.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
121 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
122 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
123 Chuck Blake.
124 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
125 obscure the mouse cursor position.
126 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
127 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
128 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
129 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
130 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
131 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
132 transfer efficiency.
133 - further minor cleanups.
134
1356.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
136 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
137 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
138 while the user still drags.
139 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
140 not drawn correctly.
141 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
142 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
143 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
144 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
145 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
146 stripping whitespace.
147 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
148 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
149
1506.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
151 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
152 - enable slow link support by default.
153 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
154 (also a bug in original rxvt).
155 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
156 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
157 partial patch).
158 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
159 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
160 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
161 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
162 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
163 - implement -hold option.
164 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
165 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
166 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
167 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
168 - slight overall speed improvements.
169 - considerably improved code clarity.
170 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
171 buffer.
172
1735.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
174 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
175 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
176 (matters only for rxvtd).
177 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
178 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
179 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
180
1815.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
182 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
183 If you want the old behaviour, try:
184 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
185 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
186 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
187 percentage by 100-percentage.
188 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
189 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
190 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
191 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
192 windows.
193 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
194 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
195 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
196 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
197 - replaced INSTALL file.
198
1995.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
200 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
201 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
202 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
203 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
204 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
205 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
206 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
207 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
208
2095.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
210 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
211 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
212 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
213 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
214 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
215 Affects display in iso14755 box.
216 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
217 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
218 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
219 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
220 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
221 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
222 cutting pieces off of characters.
223 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
224 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
225 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
226 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
227 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
228 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
229 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
230
2315.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
232 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
233 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
234 meaning of the given key.
235 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
236 (patch by Martin Edlman).
237
2385.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
239 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
240 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
241 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
242 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
243 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
244 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
245 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
246 to disable it.
247
2485.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
249 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
250 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
251 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
252 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
253 with modifiers.
254 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
255 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
256 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
257 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
258 and clear the scrollback buffer.
259
2605.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
261 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
262 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
263 a command.
264 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
265 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
266 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
267 in Perl/Gtk2.
268 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
269 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
270 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
271 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
272 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
273 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
274 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
275 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
276 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
277 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
278 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
279 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
280 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
281 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
282 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
283 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
284 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
285 rxvt-unicode).
286 - get rid of the intpro files.
287
2885.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
289 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
290 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
291 (Kuang-che Wu).
292 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
293 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
294 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
295 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
296 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
297 along with other, similar, cleanups.
298 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
299 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
300 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
301 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
302 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
303 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
304
3055.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
306 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
307 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
308 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
309 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
310 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
311 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
312 his patience and time in tracking this down).
313 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
314 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
315 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
316 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
317 by Joël Riou).
318 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
319 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
320 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
321 - shaved off some code segment size.
322 - various code cleanups.
323 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
324
3254.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
326 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
327 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
328 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
329 -pixmap is active.
330 - new option/resource imFont.
331 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
332 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
333 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
334 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
335 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
336 (WU Fengguang).
337 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
338 examples (rxvt.1).
339 - removed src/test completely.
340 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
341
3424.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
343 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
344 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
345 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
346 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
347 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
348 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
349 resulting in segfaults.
350 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
351 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
352 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
353 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
354 (Mikael Magnusson).
355 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
356 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
357 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
358 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
359 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
360 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
361 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
362 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
363 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
364 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
365 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
366 - initialize the locale much earlier.
367 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
368
3694.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
370 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
371 black on initial startup.
372 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
373 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
374 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
375 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
376 additional multimedia keys.
377 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
378 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
16 379
174.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004 3804.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004

19 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 382 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
20 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup 383 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
