24
257.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
26 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
27 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
28 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
29 ctrl-shift-672c).
30 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
31 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
32 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
33 the primary screen.
34 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
35 could lead to an assertion failure.
36 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
37 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
38 via mouse clicks.
39 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
40 with shift - mouse button 2.
41 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
42 in non-synthetic events.
43 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
44 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
45 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
46 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
47 whole urxvt[d] process.
48 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
49 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
50 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
51 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
52
537.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
54 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
55 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
56 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
57 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
58 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
59 special privileges.
60 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
61 itself.
62 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
63 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
64 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
65 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
66 similar stuff.
67 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
68 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
69 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
70 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
71 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
72 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
73 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
74 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
75 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
76 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
77 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
78 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
79 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
80 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
81 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
82 to set the window title.
83 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
84 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
85 at the wrong time.
86 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
87 anymore.
88 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
89 - nuked QNX support.
90 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
91 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
92 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
93 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
94
957.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
96 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
97 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
98 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
99 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
100 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
101 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
102 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
103 and much much more.
104 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
105 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
106 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
107 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
108 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
109 setuid/setgid.
110 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
111 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
112 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
113 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
114 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
115 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
117 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
118 compatible, and not really small either.
119 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
120 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
121 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
122 to crashes.
123 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
124 colours.
125 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
126 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
127
1286.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
129 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
130 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
131 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
132 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
133 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
134 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
135 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
136 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
137 by Mikachu).
138 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
139 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
140 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
141 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
142 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
143 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
144 - fix directory permissions on install.
145 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
146 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
147 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
148 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
149 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
150
1516.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
152 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
153 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
154 Chuck Blake.
155 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
156 obscure the mouse cursor position.
157 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
158 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
159 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
160 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
161 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
162 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
163 transfer efficiency.
164 - further minor cleanups.
165
1666.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
167 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
168 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
169 while the user still drags.
170 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
171 not drawn correctly.
172 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
173 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
174 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
175 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
176 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
177 stripping whitespace.
178 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
179 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
180
1816.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
182 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
183 - enable slow link support by default.
184 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
185 (also a bug in original rxvt).
186 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
187 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
188 partial patch).
189 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
190 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
191 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
192 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
193 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
194 - implement -hold option.
195 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
196 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
197 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
198 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
199 - slight overall speed improvements.
200 - considerably improved code clarity.
201 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
202 buffer.
203
2045.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
205 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
206 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
207 (matters only for rxvtd).
208 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
209 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
210 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
211
2125.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
213 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
214 If you want the old behaviour, try:
215 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
216 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
217 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
218 percentage by 100-percentage.
219 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
220 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
221 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
222 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
223 windows.
224 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
225 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
226 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
227 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
228 - replaced INSTALL file.
229
2305.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
231 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
232 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
233 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
234 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
235 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
236 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
237 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
238 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
239
2405.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
241 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
242 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
243 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
244 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
245 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
246 Affects display in iso14755 box.
247 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
248 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
249 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
250 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
251 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
252 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
253 cutting pieces off of characters.
254 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
255 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
256 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
257 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
258 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
259 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
260 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
261
2625.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
263 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
264 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
265 meaning of the given key.
266 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
267 (patch by Martin Edlman).
268
2695.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
270 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
271 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
272 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
273 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
274 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
275 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
276 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
277 to disable it.
278
2795.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
280 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
281 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
282 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
283 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
284 with modifiers.
285 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
286 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
287 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
288 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
289 and clear the scrollback buffer.
290
2915.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
292 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
293 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
294 a command.
295 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
296 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
297 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
298 in Perl/Gtk2.
299 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
300 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
301 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
302 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
303 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
304 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
305 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
306 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
307 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
308 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
309 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
310 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
311 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
312 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
313 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
314 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
315 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
316 rxvt-unicode).
317 - get rid of the intpro files.
318
3195.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
320 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
321 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
322 (Kuang-che Wu).
323 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
324 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
325 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
326 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
327 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
328 along with other, similar, cleanups.
329 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
330 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
331 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
332 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
333 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
334 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
335
3365.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
337 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
338 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
339 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
340 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
341 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
342 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
343 his patience and time in tracking this down).
344 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
345 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
346 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
347 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
348 by Joël Riou).
349 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
350 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
351 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
352 - shaved off some code segment size.
353 - various code cleanups.
354 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
355
3564.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
357 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
358 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
359 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
360 -pixmap is active.
361 - new option/resource imFont.
362 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
363 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
364 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
365 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
366 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
367 (WU Fengguang).
368 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
369 examples (rxvt.1).
370 - removed src/test completely.
371 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
372
3734.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
374 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
375 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
376 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
377 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
378 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
379 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
380 resulting in segfaults.
381 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
382 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
383 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
384 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
385 (Mikael Magnusson).
386 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
387 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
388 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
389 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
390 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
391 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
392 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
393 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
394 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
395 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
396 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
397 - initialize the locale much earlier.
398 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
