146.0 197.2
20 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

227.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
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.
