3xfree86's xterm).
4 2
5TODO: configurable underline line colour. 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: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
7TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7FEAT: hotkey font resizing 10TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
8FEAT: searchable backlog 11TODO: rxvt -name urxvt-girly /// leave pixel droppings
9FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12TODO: distributed clipboard example
10FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 13WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
11FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay...
12FEAT: OnTheSpot editing. 15WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
13FEAT: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 16DUMB: support tex fonts
14 17
18TODO: ctrl - mouse button2 in vim makes X freeze (unreproducable with cvs)
19 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
20 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
21 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
22 - correctly ask XIM for events it needs to be enabled on the window.
23
247.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
25 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
26 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
27 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
28 ctrl-shift-672c).
29 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
30 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
31 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
32 the primary screen.
33 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
34 could lead to an assertion failure.
35 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
36 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
37 via mouse clicks.
38 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
39 with shift - mouse button 2.
40 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
41 in non-synthetic events.
42 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
43 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
44 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
45 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
46 whole urxvt[d] process.
47 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
48 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
49 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
50 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
51
527.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
53 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
54 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
55 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
56 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
57 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
58 special privileges.
59 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
60 itself.
61 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
62 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
63 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
64 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
65 similar stuff.
66 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
67 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
68 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
69 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
70 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
71 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
72 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
73 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
74 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
75 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
76 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
77 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
78 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
79 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
81 to set the window title.
82 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
83 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
84 at the wrong time.
85 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
86 anymore.
87 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
88 - nuked QNX support.
89 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
90 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
91 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
92 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
93
947.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
95 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
96 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
97 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
98 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
99 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
100 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
101 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
102 and much much more.
103 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
104 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
105 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
106 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
107 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
108 setuid/setgid.
109 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
110 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
111 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
112 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
113 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
114 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
116 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
117 compatible, and not really small either.
118 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
119 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
120 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
121 to crashes.
122 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
123 colours.
124 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
125 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
126
1276.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
128 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
129 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
130 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
131 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
132 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
133 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
134 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
135 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
136 by Mikachu).
137 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
138 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
139 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
140 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
141 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
142 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
143 - fix directory permissions on install.
144 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
145 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
146 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
147 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
148 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
149
1506.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
151 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
152 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
153 Chuck Blake.
154 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
155 obscure the mouse cursor position.
156 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
157 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
158 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
159 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
160 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
161 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
162 transfer efficiency.
163 - further minor cleanups.
164
1656.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
166 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
167 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
168 while the user still drags.
169 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
170 not drawn correctly.
171 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
172 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
173 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
174 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
175 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
176 stripping whitespace.
177 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
178 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
179
1806.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
181 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
182 - enable slow link support by default.
183 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
184 (also a bug in original rxvt).
185 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
186 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
187 partial patch).
188 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
189 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
190 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
191 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
192 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
193 - implement -hold option.
194 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
195 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
196 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
197 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
198 - slight overall speed improvements.
199 - considerably improved code clarity.
200 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
201 buffer.
202
2035.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
204 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
205 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
206 (matters only for rxvtd).
207 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
208 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
209 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
210
2115.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
212 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
213 If you want the old behaviour, try:
214 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
215 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
216 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
217 percentage by 100-percentage.
218 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
219 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
220 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
221 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
222 windows.
223 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
224 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
225 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
226 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
227 - replaced INSTALL file.
228
2295.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
230 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
231 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
232 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
233 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
234 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
235 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
236 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
237 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
238
2395.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
240 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
241 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
242 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
243 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
244 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
245 Affects display in iso14755 box.
246 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
247 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
248 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
249 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
250 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
251 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
252 cutting pieces off of characters.
253 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
254 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
255 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
256 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
257 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
258 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
259 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
260
2615.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
262 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
263 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
264 meaning of the given key.
265 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
266 (patch by Martin Edlman).
267
2685.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
269 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
270 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
271 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
272 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
273 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
274 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
275 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
276 to disable it.
277
2785.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
279 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
280 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
281 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
282 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
283 with modifiers.
284 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
285 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
286 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
287 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
288 and clear the scrollback buffer.
289
2905.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
291 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
292 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
293 a command.
294 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
295 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
296 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
297 in Perl/Gtk2.
298 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
299 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
300 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
301 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
302 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
303 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
304 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
305 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
306 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
307 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
308 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
309 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
310 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
311 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
312 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
313 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
314 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
315 rxvt-unicode).
316 - get rid of the intpro files.
317
3185.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
319 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
320 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
321 (Kuang-che Wu).
322 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
323 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
324 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
325 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
326 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
327 along with other, similar, cleanups.
328 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
329 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
330 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
331 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
332 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
333 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
334
3355.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
336 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
337 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
338 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
339 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
340 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
341 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
342 his patience and time in tracking this down).
343 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
344 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
345 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
346 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
347 by Joël Riou).
348 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
349 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
350 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
351 - shaved off some code segment size.
352 - various code cleanups.
353 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
354
3554.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
356 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
357 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
358 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
359 -pixmap is active.
360 - new option/resource imFont.
361 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
362 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
363 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
364 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
365 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
366 (WU Fengguang).
367 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
368 examples (rxvt.1).
369 - removed src/test completely.
370 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
371
3724.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
373 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
374 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
375 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
376 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
377 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
378 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
379 resulting in segfaults.
380 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
381 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
382 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
383 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
384 (Mikael Magnusson).
385 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
386 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
387 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
388 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
389 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
390 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
391 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
392 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
393 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
394 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
395 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
396 - initialize the locale much earlier.
397 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
398
3994.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
400 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
401 black on initial startup.
402 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
403 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
404 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
405 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
406 additional multimedia keys.
407 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
408 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
409
4104.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
15 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even 411 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
16 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 412 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
17 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
18 - fix atom name enumeration.
19 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup 413 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
20 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3 414 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
21 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement. 415 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
416 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
417 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
418 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
419 ignored.
22 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID 420 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
23 instead. 421 instead.
24 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. 422 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
423 (reported by hednod).
424 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
425 - fix atom name enumeration.
25 426
264.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 4274.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
27 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. 428 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
28 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled 429 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
